You don’t want to miss a minute of this fascinating episode featuring Mark’s story! Where does an innovative idea like the Bedjet come from? From the complexity and the amazing technology involved, you’d think that the idea for a device like the Bedjet came from a technology firm. The truth is - the Bedjet was born out of Mark’s desire to tinker around with a device that would solve his personal dilemma of temperature control in his bed. After he landed on a prototype - Mark decided to get wider input by sending the device to his friends and family - they agreed, Bedjet was a hit! Once he had the product figured out - Mark had to go to work getting the product exposure in the marketplace. Running a small startup - you can imagine that Mark’s brand awareness budget was almost $0. Thankfully, they were able to get a Bedjet into the hands of the brilliant and talented marketing agency - The Harmon Brothers. In just a few months - Mark had a fun, entertaining, and engaging video he could use to promote the Bedjet. You can view the video that helped put the Bedjet on the map the Bedjet website! As a small startup - Mark took every opportunity he could to raise awareness of the Bedjet and connect with more people who would enjoy the product. The desire to improve the Bedjet’s visibility led Mark to several rounds of funding on Kickstarter. With the successful Kickstarter campaigns, the Bedjet got on the radar for the folks at Shark Tank. The funny thing is - Mark had never even seen an episode of Shark Tank before the show contacted him! Jumping at the chance to appear on Shark Tank - Mark packed his bags and attended the tapping - all to no avail. The Sharks were convinced that the Bedjet would bomb - thankfully - they were wrong. Even though the Sharks didn’t believe in the Bedjet - Mark knew better. He was convinced that the Bedjet was the solution that many people all over the world needed to make sleep a more enjoyable experience. Today, the Bedjet is selling like never before. The Bedjet is listed on Amazon, but Mark has been pouring more resources in his direct to consumer efforts, and he’s seen it pay off! Mark’s story goes to show you that you don’t need the stars to align to bring a successful product to the marketplace - you just have to make something people want!

You’d cut that distributor out, right? What if that distributor was Amazon? They are hard to cut out when they own a significant portion of the ecommerce marketplace! Mark Aramli feels the tension between life as an Amazon customer and an Amazon merchant. He loves the simplicity and ease of use that Amazon brings its customers, but he finds significant challenges working as one of their merchants. With this tension in mind - Mark encourages ecommerce sellers to avoid depending on Amazon for any sizeable portion of their sales. Difficulty with Amazon isn’t the only place that Mark has had to face and overcome challenges in his career. Back when BedJet was inching closer and closer to its launch date, Mark had to have a difficult conversation with his then fiance. It turns out that Mark’s wedding date and the rapidly approaching launch date of BedJet were too close to make anyone happy - the wedding had to be rescheduled. While Mark’s soon-to-be bride wasn’t happy - she powered through the challenge and supported Mark. As a sign of his gratitude - Mark was able to give his wife the wedding of her dreams.

In this episode, we sat down with Mark Aramli. Mark is the inventor and principal engineer for the patented BedJet CCS. Mark's first engineering role was at United Technologies, builder of the space suit for NASA. His engineering responsibilities included the space suit primary life support system (PLSS), specifically elements relating to heating, cooling and climactic comfort of the interior space suit environment for the astronauts. But he's also worked on some other VERY interesting projects, as we learn in the episode. My goal in the episode was to dive deeper on sleep than we have on previous episodes. Specifically, I wanted to learn about temperature, and how it effects our sleep. And, as always...Can we hack it? It's a great episode, and I know you're going to love it.
