Send us a textThe 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is already underway—and it's expected to be an active one, with forecasts calling for 17 to 25 named storms, up to 13 hurricanes, and as many as 7 major hurricanes. For Florida's community associations, that means flood preparedness is no longer optional—it's urgent.In this episode of Take It to the Board, host Donna DiMaggio Berger welcomes Maurice Huffman, inventor of StormBag—a revolutionary, sandless sandbag that's changing the way neighborhoods and HOAs prepare for storms. Fresh off his appearance on Shark Tank Season 15, where he secured a $200,000 deal from Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner, Maurice shares the story behind StormBag, how it works, and why it's gaining traction across Florida and beyond.Unlike traditional sandbags, StormBags start out as lightweight, compact one-pound pouches that expand to 32-pound barriers when soaked in water—thanks to a polymer that absorbs 300 times its weight. They're clean, reusable, easy to store, and simple enough for a single person to deploy in minutes—making them ideal for both single-family homes and high-rise buildings.Maurice also opens up about the personal tragedy that led him to create StormBag after losing everything in the Paradise, California wildfires and experiencing flood damage shortly after. His Shark Tank journey provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at pitching to the Sharks and what happens after the cameras stop rolling.As climate risks grow and storms become more intense, this episode offers community leaders and homeowners practical insights on better protecting your property with less effort, expense, and environmental impact.Conversation Highlights:How the StormBag technology worksA breakdown of StormBag's cost and how it compares to traditional sandbags, including those distributed for free by some municipalitiesGuidance on how many StormBags are typically needed to protect the entrance of a multifamily buildingEstimates on the number of StormBags required to safeguard a 3,500-square-foot home from floodingInformation on the storage space required to stockpile StormBags in advance of a stormThe origin story behind StormBag and how the idea came to lifeInsights into Maurice's experience pitching on Shark Tank and securing a deal with Mark Cuban and Lori GreinerThe impact of endorsements from FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security, and examples of how HOAs and local governments are adopting StormBag for flood controlWhat community leaders and homeowners should keep in mind when it comes to flood preparedness and mitigationRelated Links:Resource: Becker Hurricane Preparedness and RecoveryOnline Class: Disaster Preparedness and RecoveryArticle: Shark Tank Episode

From Bottle Insulation to Business Innovation: Adam Callinan's JourneyI wonder how many of us have watched Shark Tank and dreamed about being in those entrepreneurs' shoes? Adam Callinan lived that reality, transforming a simple beer bottle insulator into a multi-million dollar brand. His journey reveals powerful lessons about lean startup techniques, crowdfunding success, and building a valuable brand beyond just revenue figures.In this episode, Matt Edmundson sits down with Adam Callinan, co-founder of BottleKeeper and current SaaS entrepreneur, for a fascinating conversation about validating product ideas, scaling with minimal staff, protecting intellectual property, and navigating the reality of Shark Tank deals.Key Takeaways:Proof of Concept Through Lean MethodsAdam's approach to validating BottleKeeper is a masterclass in lean startup techniques. Before investing significant money, he tested market interest by collecting emails and launching a crowdfunding campaign. "We did all of that before we spent any money," Adam explains, highlighting how crucial it is to validate ideas before major investment.Building a Scalable Business with Minimal StaffI'm fascinated by how BottleKeeper reached $10 million in revenue with only 14 team members. Could this approach work in today's market? Adam built the business with a strict guardrail: "If you're going to make that decision, you have to solve problems in a way that doesn't require human bodies to solve them." This forced innovation through automation and systems rather than hiring.Creating Value Beyond RevenuePerhaps the most surprising insight was how BottleKeeper's acquisition discussions focused less on revenue and more on their intellectual property portfolio. "On four phone calls with the board of directors, not one time did they ask us what our revenue was or if we were profitable," Adam reveals. This challenges conventional wisdom about what creates business value.The Reality of Shark Tank ExposureWhile BottleKeeper secured an on-air deal with Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner, it ultimately didn't materialize after filming. However, the exposure generated over $1 million in revenue in the first week after airing. Adam notes, "When you have the opportunity to get in front of millions of eyeballs for free... it is exceptional from a customer acquisition standpoint."Data-Driven Decision MakingAdam's current venture, Pentane, emerged from the systems he built to run BottleKeeper. The SaaS platform helps consumer brands make smarter decisions through data analysis, highlighting how effective internal tools can often become valuable products themselves.I wonder how many ecommerce entrepreneurs are neglecting intellectual property as a value-builder? And how might automation principles from Adam's playbook apply in today's more challenging paid media environment?For more information about the topics discussed in this episode, visit ecommercepodcast.net.

The process of building a company, getting funded and bringing a product to market isn't just data-driven. It's gut-driven too. The numbers matter, but when you're building a product without market acceptance, you have to trust your intuition and persevere when you're told it won't work.   In many ways, taking an entrepreneurial risk is a lot like taking a creative risk. You have a vision not many understand until you convince them. The journey can be lonely, and you'll question yourself all the time. Considering that our guest took Ugg public and wrote a novel for the first time, she would know how similar the journeys are.   How do you keep going when you're doing something so disruptive that no one sees the vision? What pitfalls do entrepreneurs fall into in that early funding stage? How do you learn to trust your gut?    In this episode, I'm joined by entrepreneur, leader and coach, Diana Wilson. She shares lessons from her own career journey, what it was like taking Deckers (Ugg) public and what every entrepreneur should be doing to succeed.   Guest Bio   Diana Wilson is a self-described industry agnostic, in addition to her most recent roles as CEO, Diana has held a variety of C-suite positions across a wide range of industries—from footwear to music—in roles covering all points along the strategic, financial and operational spectrum. Early career highlights include the high-intensity thrill of taking Deckers (Ugg, Hoka) public in 1993, spearheading a number of successful M & A transactions. Most recently she has completed a passion project of writing a fictional novel and launching a Substack Newsletter, Wit & Wisdom where she writes about everything from business and creativity—to health & wellness—to living a purpose-filled life. Connect with Diana on LinkedIn and subscribe to her newsletter Wit and Wisdom.    Host Bio   Jayla Siciliano, Shark Tank Entrepreneur, Real Estate Investor, MBA and experienced investor/founder in markets from consumer products to short-term rentals. If you like Alex Hormozi, Tim Ferriss, Entrepreneurs on Fire with John Lee Dumas, or you follow sharks like Barbara Corcoran, Lori Greiner or Mark Cuban (who invested in my Shark Tank pitch) you'll love this show!

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, our host, James Q. Del Rosso, DO, interviews pediatric dermatologist Lisa Swanson, MD, live at Winter Clinical Miami 2024 to review conference highlights and discuss diagnosing and treating molluscum contagiosum, herpes labialis in the adolescent population, and newer and emerging therapies for chronic skin diseases like atopic dermatitis and acne. Dr Swanson discusses the recent FDA approval of cantharidin and berdazimer gel for molluscum contagiosum and the challenges of diagnosing single lesions. She highlights the importance of providing accurate information to schools and daycares about the contagiousness of the virus and the unnecessary quarantine measures that are often enforced. The pair share their excitement about the ability to profoundly impact patients' lives with newer therapies for chronic conditions, particularly bimekizumab, an anti-IL17A and anti-IL17F for plaque psoriasis, and oral deucravacitinib, a TYK2 inhibitor for plaque psoriasis that now has 3-year efficacy and safety data. They also discuss the presentation of herpes labialis in adolescents, with Dr Swanson emphasizing the marked severity of the primary outbreak, the importance of counseling these patients on managing outbreaks, and making efforts to destigmatize this condition among this population. Dr Swanson also looks forward several anticipated FDA approvals which include lebrikizumab for atopic dermatitis, both topical tapinarof and topical roflumilast also for atopic dermatitis including young children, and the approval of topical ruxolitinib extended to younger children. She also emphasizes that emerging access to acne medications in children of younger ages is important as puberty develops earlier. She discusses the effectiveness of clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide, and adapalene as a once daily combination treatment for acne and the availability of topical clascoterone, an androgen receptor inhibitor, which can be used twice daily for both adolescent girls and boys with acne. They conclude with a discussion on the importance of character and kindness in the field of dermatology based on a presentation at the meeting by special guest speaker Lori Greiner, which Dr Swanson demonstrates through her expressed willingness to help those without access to a pediatric dermatologist and an open-door policy for clinical consultation.

As one of life's mysteries (that mystery being "what is Dingle Dangle") is solved, many more are introduced, in this feast of an episode that included fish in a can, chili in a bag, and, perplexingly, low-decibel baubles on the head.

How can you take a business from your garage to Shark Tank and have your idea become a global phenomenon? This episode features an inspiring entrepreneur, Joe Altieri, founder and CEO of FlexScreen, an innovative window screen company. Joe shares how pivotal relationships with his wife, business partners Andy and Craig, and others have transformed his life and business journey.   Joe Altieri is a serial entrepreneur - born with both an adventurous and entrepreneurial spirit; he has spent his life believing there's always a better (and more fun) way to do just about everything. Eventually, that innate curiosity and drive for a better mousetrap led him to invent the world's first and only flexible window screen - which landed me on Shark Tank - which resulted in a deal with Lori Greiner (the Queen of QVC) - which catapulted his business in some pretty unbelievable ways.     Key Highlights:   [00:01 - 14:51] Joe Altieri's Journey Taking FlexScreen to Shark Tank   Kevin welcomes Joe Alteri, founder of the innovative window screen company FlexScreen Reinvented frustrating standard metal window screens by creating flexible screens Now a leading global window screen company, recently on Shark Tank   [14:52 - 26:53] The Evolution of FlexScreen through Key Relationships   Early mentor Andy told Joe not to sell the business and invested Partners like Craig came on board to turbocharge company growth The importance of complementary strengths and fully trust each other as business partners Entrepreneurs must guard key personal relationships   [26:54 - 30:35] Family Always Comes First   Treat your business as a child, not a mistress Joe's most important relationship is with his supportive wife Achieve balance in your to spend time with family     [30:36 - 34:42] Closing Segment   Connect with Joe through his podcast Dare To Be Different and website https://www.joealtieri.com!   Key Quotes:   "If your spouse is not on board, there are two things you need to consider. Number one, should you actually be doing this? Number two is, if you can't convince the person who loves you the most in this world that your idea is good, I'm not sure you're going to be able to convince me or the rest of the world." - Joe Altieri   "Make sure that your business is a child, not a mistress." - Joe Altieri   Connect with Joe: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JoeAAltieri  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaltieri  Website: https://www.flexscreen.com        Honoring: His Wife, Andy (1st partner), Craig (Current COO)   Thanks for tuning in!  If you liked my show, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, and subscribe!    Find me on the following streaming platforms: Apple Spotify Google Podcasts IHeart Radio Stitcher

They can also be quite a distraction when out with friends at a restaurant — IYKYK. They're always grabbing things on the table or dropping their toys and you're constantly having to pick them up from that dirty (yucky) floor. But new mom, Beth Fynbo, was over it. So after searching Amazon for a solution (and not finding one), she decided to just create something that she and her best friend and their Littles could enjoy.   Meet Beth Fynbo. Beth is an Army veteran and creator of the Busy Baby Mat. Busy Baby has a line of products that keep baby's things within reach and off the floor at home and on the go — Mom-invented, baby-approved. In this episode, Beth takes us through her journey from an idea that wasn't initially intended to go to market to how an accidental email landed her a spot in the tank — yeah, the Shark Tank. She tells us how her 10-year Army career prepared her for entrepreneurial life, how she convinced her brother to quit his job to help her run Busy Baby, and how creative she got to fund the business in the early days with pitch competitions where she won over $100,000 in prize money.   Get Weekly Tools to Build Your Business (for free!): The Entrepreneur's Toolkit Connect with Nicole: Nicole Schmied Linkedin; @Nicole Schmied Get Your Data-Driven Marketing Strategy: SmartCookie Media FREE: Content Strategy Session Visit: Busy Baby Have a story to tell?

A Fresh Story, season 3, episode 18 We had the chance to talk to CEO, and working mom, Kelley Higney! Kelley is brilliant, lovely, and so passionate about changing the world with her product, Bug Bite Thing. We chatted with Kelley about her career change, making fresh starts, being a working mom, becoming a CEO, and of course…going on Shark Tank! Kelley Higney is the founder and CEO of Bug Bite Thing, the leader in providing consumers with chemical-free first aid products, including its insect bite relief suction tool which is Amazon's #1 seller for insect bite relief with nearly 90,000 reviews and its tick remover tweezer tool approved for both people and pets that launched this summer.  Determination to find a natural alternative to the available remedies on the market that would alleviate her six-month-old daughter's constantly suffering from mosquito bites, led to her discovery of an unfamiliar product that uses suction to remove the irritant. Then, after securing exclusive distribution rights to the product, she branded it Bug Bite Thing and has since been a “Mom on a Mission,” educating the world on the most effective, chemical-free solution for insect bite relief.   The company gained national recognition in October 2019 when Kelley and her mother, Ellen McAlister, appeared on ABC's hit show, ‘Shark Tank.' All the Sharks were biting with offers to invest in the business, but it was Lori Greiner's ‘Golden Ticket' offer that secured the partnership. In April 2021, Kelley and her mother returned to ‘Shark Tank.' This time, they shared details on the company's transformation into a multi-million dollar enterprise following their first appearance on the show. Kelley is a member of the Fast Company Executive Board and Forbes Business Council and the recipient of numerous awards, including the Gold Stevie Award for ‘Female Executive of the Year' by the 2022 Stevie Awards for Women in Business and named a “Top Mamaprenistas” by the 2022 Entreprenista 100. She is active within the South Florida community where she resides and teaches teens through Bug Bite Thing's Entrepreneurship in Action Program in partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Lucie County. She lives in Port St. Lucie with her husband and two daughters. Learn more about Kelley and Bug Bite Thing on their website, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok and of course, Amazon.
