Podcast appearances and mentions of matthew burns

Instead of talking like all the others about EVs being environmentally friendly, Tesla made a sure everyone knew just how exciting driving one was. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Travis Crawford HVAC Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to The Empire Builders Podcast. I'm Dave Young, and Stephen Semple is here. We're going to talk about an empire that's boy, it's been in the news a lot lately, but we're going back to the early days of Tesla. We're going to ignore the whole Cybertruck knock down. Stephen Semple: Right, but we're going to talk about the electric car. We are going to talk about that. And if people are interested in terms of some of my views in terms of what's going on today, Matthew Burns and I did a Sticky Sales Story over on YouTube about what's going on with Tesla today and the challenges that they're facing and what has created all of that, especially around brand promise and things along that lines. But for a long time I've been wanting to talk about Tesla for a simple reason. So you know how you and I talk about one of the very first things that we will always want to do before we take on company, before you make up the messaging, before you do anything, you got to get really clear on the strategy and you want to always try to find unleveraged assets. I think I feel like the success of Tesla and how they've changed the world and really brought the electric car to the forefront is a great example of that, especially the unleveraged assets. So if we go back to the early days of Tesla and we take a look, or even early days of the electric car, the electric cars were basically being marketed as green. And they were ugly, and they were poor performing and they were dull, and they were uninteresting and uninspiring, and they were basically a golf cart. Dave Young: Basically a golf cart. Stephen Semple: Yeah, yeah they really were. And didn't get traction going, didn't capture the imagination, and really was sort of only this small segment of the population was where the market was, and it wasn't growing beyond that. And so that's kind of where the market was. Now, here's what Tesla did. Tesla changed the whole conversation through an unleveraged asset. And the unleveraged asset was this. When you took a look at an electric motor, if you put a high-powered electric motor in there, you could make that thing accelerate like it's nobody's business. So what they did, so while everybody else was going the whole environmental tree hugger conversation, they went, we're going to make a car that accelerates so fast that you can set your iPhone on the passenger seat halfway up, hit the accelerator and the phone will stay hung there on the car. Dave Young: Just from the acceleration. Stephen Semple: Just on the acceleration. And will beat most supercars, gas-powered supercars. We could just take this car right off the production line, it could go out and drag race and blow the doors off of pretty much every gas car on the market other than the multi-million dollar supercars. And even a few of those, it was able to beat. Dave Young: So up until this point, electric cars and hybrids in particular were, you think about Toyota Prius, right? Or something like that. And you don't think super performance, you don't think zippy fast, but you think, oh, I'm just putting along, I'm going to get from here to there, and we're not going to pollute very much. Stephen Semple: And it's economical and all this other stuff.

From writing a regular article in Radio Ink magazine to a weekly outbound memo to free clinics, Roy H. Williams created a marketing school like no other. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick in business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Travis Crawford Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast, Dave Young here alongside Stephen Semple. And Stephen has just told me what the topic for today's episode is and well, I have some thoughts. Stephen Semple: I sure hope so. Dave Young: So we're going to talk about Wizard Academy, we've mentioned it quite a few times on the podcast and I don't know that it falls into the pantheon of super empire type brands, but the things that Wizard Academy teaches have definitely helped some businesses achieve at least some local empire status in the growth of their business. Well, thank you for making this one of the topics. Stephen Semple: Yeah, and part of the reason why I wanted as one of the topics is first of all, we've referred to it a lot and so we might as well let people know what the heck this thing is that we refer to you work there, I'm a major donor there, taught there a few times, been a student there a lot of times. And the thing I find incredible is, look, it's not a big school. When you go to do a class, it's not a hundred people, it's small classes it's like 18 people. But when I was there last, when I taught the course there with Matthew Burns and Gary Bernier, we had people from the Czech Republic, we had somebody from Australia. I've been there where there's been people from Central America and South America. When you go and there's people that are from around the world coming to this little place, it fits it to a degree because it tells us how special this place is. So let's talk a little bit about the specialness of it and the origin of it. Dave Young: I love it. Yeah. So origin-wise, man, I'll go back to my origin and my first exposure to Roy Williams who founded Wizard Academy. I was managing my family's small market radio stations in Nebraska starting in the mid eighties and in the radio broadcasting world, there are national groups like the National Association of Broadcasters, the Radio Advertising Bureau, and there's only ever been a handful of privately held industry publications that focused entirely on the radio broadcast industry. One of those is a magazine called Radio Ink, and it's not INC like incorporated it's Radio Ink as in printers ink, I-N-K. And started by a guy named Eric Rhoades, and I'm not sure how he and Roy first met, and by the way, Roy's got a hilarious story about Eric Rhoades dad speaking of empire building. We'll save that for another time. But Roy started writing a column for Radio Ink in the nineties, and the column was just, Hey, here's some things that you ought to consider when you're writing ads for businesses and you're in the radio business, or here are some tips for radio salespeople to sell more long form kind of schedules. And so I'd been reading those, you'd go to the post office once a month and there'd be the Radio Ink in the mail and it was always exciting because it was great writing, it was one of the few pieces of industry focused Journalism that was really engaging if you were in the radio business and Roy's column was always the first thing I looked at. And at some point he started doing the Monday morning memo and I think promoted it in the Radio Ink article. Hey, if you want, subscribe to The Monday Morning Memo send us a fax at this number.

Stephen has been studying and learning how to use and explain trust for Organizations. Let's just say, you need to get vulnerable for this one. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients, so here's one of those. [Out Of This World Plumbing Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast, Dave Young, alongside Stephen Semple, and Stephen, you're supposed to whisper- Stephen Semple: We're going off the reservation, I know. Yes. Dave Young: You were supposed to whisper in my ear today's business that we're going to discuss, and you just mentioned trust, and I'm thinking, this is not like a bank and trust. This is not like a trust fund. Stephen Semple: In God, we trust, money. Dave Young: No, not that. Basically, this is like trust. This is like consumer trust, people trusting each other, people trusting businesses, people trusting, I don't know, government. Are we living in a post-trust age? Is that the question? Stephen Semple: Well, Gallup and other organizations that measure basically people's trust in institutions and organizations and businesses and things like that across the board all agree, it's at an all-time low. Across the board, our trust in organizations, businesses, other people, things like that has declined to a level not seen before. And what's disturbing on this is if you're coming up with an innovative idea, if you're wanting to create a movement, if you're wanting to get support from something, if you're wanting to sell a product or service, everyone agreed. I had the opportunity to run lots of workshops and speak at lots of places, and I'll ask people, is trust important to what you do? Everyone agrees, trust is super important. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: We all agree on that. Studies show trust is way down. So we all agree it's really important, all the studies show its way down, so it got me to thinking and really studying, how do we establish and build trust as organizations? And what I found was there's actually three levels of trust, and one of the things we're going to dive into here in a little bit, the highest level is this concept of parasocial relationships, which we'll dig into. But I just thought, if you're wanting to build something big and large and grand, there's a point where what you've got to recognize is you've got to get people to trust this new idea that you're doing. So when I get talking to folks about trust, I'll often ask, "What are the things that you do to build trust?" And we did this in the workshop that I did with Matthew Burns and Gary Bernier. Dave Young: Selling professional services. Stephen Semple: On the selling professional services, one of the questions was that, and people talked about how, well, you do what you say you're going to do and be on time and be polite and be transparent and all those things build trust, and it's true, but those are like level one trust things. They will form a basic level of trust. And the other challenge with it is, for the most part, they were things that you had to have an interaction with the client or the prospective client in order to even establish that. Dave Young: Man, this is a Gordian knot. [inaudible 00:04:46] This is a tough nut you want to crack. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: I think of a lot of things. When do you want to dive into the parasocial effect? It happens to me, oh, I don't know, three, four times a month. Somebody will show up at Wizard Academy at a class and they'll go, "Wow,

Edwin Lowe, yes the Beano... uhm Bingo guy took all he learned and created Yahtzee. You need to be observant. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is... Well, it's us. But we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Travis Crawford Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here alongside Steven Semple. And as we always do, Steven... Wait a minute. You didn't whisper anything in my ear during the countdown? Stephen Semple: No, I didn't this time Dave Young: We're going into this blind. I have no idea what we're going to talk about. Stephen Semple: I didn't this time, but there's one thing I ust wanted to mention before we got into it is we're north of 156 episodes. I think this is 157 or 158. And when you think about it- Dave Young: Isn't that crazy? Stephen Semple: It is crazy. We've crossed the three-year mark. And for you and I, we haven't missed, we've not missed a week in that three years. Dave Young: I'm amazed. That's double the number of birthdays I've had, at least. Stephen Semple: I wanted to recognize that because I was looking... when I was doing the preparation and looking at this, I went, "Wow, three years. That's quite amazing." When we started this adventure, I knew we had committed to a year, and here we are still at it, which I think is pretty cool. Dave Young: It is. I don't have any stats handy, but I know that podcasting, this is one of these things that is like, "Oh, this is going to be fun." It's going to be fun to do a podcast. And it is. My participation in it is a lot of fun because I show up, you do a countdown, and I chat. But I know that it's a heavy lift, and people thinking that they're just going to start podcasting, unless you're just going to just start your own live morning show without any back-end production, it's not an easy thing to do. And you've got a whole team working behind the scenes. Stephen Semple: Yeah. There's you and I. And then we have an outsourced person who does the production, and then Dylan Bernier turns all this stuff in the shorts and whatnot. And then Matthew Burns and Gary Bernier get it all posted to the social media. And I'm going to say, if this group of people were not working on it, this would not still be going today. And I think last I looked at the stats, most podcasts I think are 10 or 12 or 14 episodes or something like that. They- Dave Young: Yeah. That's as far as you get. Stephen Semple: As far as you get. And then all of a sudden it's like, "Oh, this is a grind. This is more work than I thought it would be." And things along that line. So, well- Dave Young: You're like, "I'm going to go back to grad school," and, "Oh, God, what was I thinking?" Stephen Semple: Exactly. Dave Young: I started podcasting in 2010 and got 30 episodes in before I gave up. And I think it was just because the shine came off, the shiny object, for me, and nobody knew what a podcast was in 2012. So- Stephen Semple: Yeah. So I just want to thank you, thank the team, and just recognize this milestone. But onto the reason why people actually have tuned in, it's not to hear us chat back and forth. Dave Young: It's not. Stephen Semple: Well, it's not about that. It's not about praising ourselves. What we're going to talk about today is a game called Yahtzee. Dave Young: Yahtzee. I grew up with Yahtzee. I mean, Yahtzee's been around for a long time. Stephen Semple: Sure has. Yeah. Dave Young: And I never played it until, I think after I got married.

Being willing to expose a weakness or a flaw or admitting a mistrake... uhm, sorry, A mistake allows people to know you are real. And real matters when building trust. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients, so here's one of those. [Tommy Cool Air Ad] Stephen Semple: Hey, everyone. Well, we've given Dave the day off and I have with me a very, very special guest, Matthew Burns. Say hello, Matthew. Matthew Burns: Hello, everybody. Thanks for inviting me, Steve. This is great. Stephen Semple: Yeah, so here's the reason why I wanted to bring Matthew on and what we're going to talk about is Matthew and I had an awesome experience in the fall, and we traveled to Western Canada with Gary Bernier, and we did a number of presentations and met with about 50 business owners out in the Edmonton area. And we're talking about a number of different things around marketing and whatnot. And one of the areas that Matthew presented that people really had a lot of engagement around was this whole idea of building of trust and specifically the role that social media can do around building of trust. And the part that I love the most was how you started that whole conversation, that whole idea that we talk about in terms of the trust conundrum. So I think that's what you should start with in terms of talking about. Matthew Burns: It's this whole idea of when do you actually gain the trust of the target, whether it's a friend, whether it's a family member, whether it's a colleague or a client or a customer. We do a little thing where we trick our audience and we make them answer questions and we say, "Listen, so is trust important?" And we know trust is important, but we ask and everybody says, "Yeah, yeah, trust is important. It's a great thing. We need it." And it's important for the sale. And they'll say, "Yeah, it's important for the sale." Okay, perfect. So how do you build trust? What is it that you do with your business that builds trust? And inevitably we get the same answers. You get, oh, we show up on time and we do what we say we're going to do. Stephen Semple: Treat them with respect. Matthew Burns: Treat them with respect. So we're like, "Okay, that's awesome. And never stop doing those things. That's incredible." So you're doing all those things and you want them to trust you, but when do you do those things? When do those things happen? Before the sale or after the sale? Because remember, we're aiming for trust being really important for the sale itself. So when do those things happen? And they're always like, "Oh." And I said, "Because you said you wanted to be trusted before the sale, but to be trusted, you need to deliver on your promise. Well, that comes after the sale. You need trust for the sale." So this is a paradoxical loop. It's just going to keep feeding into itself. I need it beforehand, but we don't actually get it until afterwards. So trust comes second. True, honest, trust comes second. It's once you've delivered on your promise. It's once you've engaged with the client and delivered what you said you're going to deliver, whether it was even just I'm going to call you back on Tuesday and you call back on Tuesday. Okay, I can trust now that he's going to do or she's going to do exactly what I'm asking for. That's the conundrum. I think the big thing is how do you circumvent the conundrum? How do you get to be trusted before the sale? I'll ask the listeners, if the client came in, the customer came in and they trusted you implicitly,

In this episode, we are thrilled to have Dr. Matthew Burns as our guest. Dr. Burns is a Rose & Irving Fein Endowed Professor of Special Education and Assistant Director of UFLI and has extensive experience as both a practitioner and an academic. Throughout our conversation, we delve into the fascinating world of tiered interventions, RTI, and MTSS, and explore how data-driven practices can improve reading outcomes for students. We begin by discussing the importance of tier 1 interventions, focusing on class-wide strategies based on screening data. Dr. Burns emphasizes the significance of accurately grouping students and providing targeted interventions in tier 2, acknowledging that traditional ways of grouping students based on reading levels may not be effective in addressing individual needs. Moving on, we explore the relationship between RTI and MTSS, and how data analysis through Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) can drive effective small-group instruction. Dr. Burns shares insights on the science of the reading movement and the need for critical evaluation of research sources to make evidence-based decisions. The conversation then shifts towards dyslexia, its identification, and the importance of improved reading instruction rather than solely focusing on identification. Dr. Burns highlights the significance of individualized instruction for dyslexic students, while also discussing the ongoing legislative and advocacy efforts surrounding dyslexia.As the episode progresses, we dive into the role of morphology in language and its implications for learning, along with the need for a deeper understanding of phonemic awareness. Dr. Burns provides valuable resources, including his YouTube channel and Google Scholar, for accessing research articles and teaching strategies in the field of reading achievement.Timestamps02:26 Transition from teaching to research for greater impact.04:56 Dr. Burns discusses his adviser, grad school, special education, instructional support, and positive effects in his research.09:45 Poor reading instruction leads to not being able to provide support to students with dyslexia.13:11 Targeted interventions improved the academic performance of certain kids.16:35 RTI and MTSS are not synonymous terms.

After a soul searching sabbatical and a very smelly #2 experience, Suzie knew that she finally had the right idea at the right scale to be sustainable. Welcome Poo Pourri. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop, to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is... Well, it's us. But we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So, here's one of those. [BWS Ad] Dave Young: All right. Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast. That's Steve Semple. I'm Dave Young, and Stephen, I thought we were going to keep this podcast on the up and up, above board, like child-friendly and... Stephen Semple: Except for the cursing and swearing every- Dave Young: Except for the cursing and... Yeah. Okay. Okay. I'll give you that. But when you told me that in today's episode we're going to talk about a product, and I'm guessing more specifically, we're going to talk about the lovely British woman that became the spokesperson for this product by... Gosh. I don't even know how to describe it. Just being a lovely woman with a British accent, and talking about pooping all at the same time, all over YouTube, all over... Pooping, all over Facebook. We're talking about the product called Poo-Pourri. Stephen Semple: If someone's not familiar with the product, Poo-Pourri is basically this spray that you spray on the toilet, in the toilet bowl- Dave Young: On the water. Yeah. Stephen Semple: On the water, that basically prevents the odor from basically overpowering the bathroom. It's this little bottle, and they're 20, 30 bucks, and you spray it, and the product is called Poo-Pourri. So, if you haven't seen the video, you really need to go watch the video, either before listening to this or at the end, because it really is quite remarkable. We're going to talk a little bit about the video, because the company, Poo-Pourri, was founded in 2007 by Suzy Batiz, and it's best known for the viral videos. Dave Young: I don't think we'd know it at all if it wasn't for the viral video. Stephen Semple: Collectively, they've had over 350 million views. The company's on track to do, again, it's a private company so it's hard to know, but the best data I've been able to find is they're on track to do a hundred million in sales. At 20 bucks a pop. So, the business is estimated to be worth a quarter of a billion dollars. The product is sold in 40,000 retail locations. Costco, Target, CVS, Walgreens, you name it. On Amazon, they have over 100,000 five star reviews. Dave Young: Dang, that's a lot of five star poops. Stephen Semple: Yeah. The company was ranked on Inc's 5,000 fastest growing companies every year since 2015. It's a big deal. But here's the interesting thing. It's not as much of an overnight success as people believe. When you read about Poo-Pourri, the press is all about this $25,000 video that they posted to social media that blew them up. The video was produced by the Harmon Brothers. It was literally the second or third campaign that the Harmon Brothers did. The Harmon Brothers have done Purple, and all sorts of different products. You could actually go on Harmon Brothers YouTube videos and find a whole bunch of them. The video is awesome. The thing that's really interesting about the video is, we often talk about this whole idea of fit but doesn't fit. So, they have this very classic dressed British woman. She's in a classic gown, with the classic makeup and whatnot, in this very proper English accent, talking about poo. That's what makes it funny. Matthew Burns and I have actually started a YouTube channel, stickysalesstories.com. One of the ones that we're going in a deep dive on ...

All the secrets behind the podcast are revealed. Discover how Dave and Stephen came together, where all the stories come from, and if it's scripted or not. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor which is... Well, it's us. But we're highlighting Ads we've written and produced for our clients. So, here's one of those. [Tappers Jewelry Ad] Stephen Semple: Hey, it's Stephen Semple here, and this week we're doing something a little bit different. We've given Dave Young the week off. And instead, I have with me one of our business partners from Atlantic Canada, Matthew Burns. And there's a number of things that Matt wanted to talk about and share. So, what's up man? What did you want to talk about? Matthew Burns: We've been listening to you ramble on about business success for a year and a bit like a year and a half and it's been incredible to listen to. The problem is, I don't think your listeners really understand why you're rambling on about business success outside of there's... You give lessons, which is great. But why... I'm going to ask you a question. How did you get started with the podcast? And what you mean by that is, where did this idea come from? Stephen Semple: I wish I could give a really easy answer to that. But it's a very multi-step, multi-stepped answer, because it was literally easily a year of exploration before landing on the podcast. So I guess the first part is, why did I want to do podcasting? And frankly, what I wanted to do is, share some of my thoughts, ideas with audience, build relationship with folks, and hopefully build my marketing business. Matthew Burns: Quite frankly, you've been telling some of these stories to business partners for... All of us have heard you talk about, "Oh man, you guys, did you know about this company, did you know this about this company?" And it backed up a lot of the things that we had been doing. But, I don't think people understand that about you. How much of a story collector and storyteller you are. Dave says it in the intro, but I don't think people understand that. Stephen Semple: This is a really interesting story. Gary Bernay, one of our other business partners and myself, both met Rick from Pawn Stars. The star of Pawn Stars. Matthew Burns: Awesome. Stephen Semple: And we were chatting with him and one of the things that he shared was that, one of the hardest parts about doing a television show, and this will lead to the podcast. And one of the hardest parts about doing a television show is, anybody can come up with an idea for a show. But a season is like 20 some odd episodes. And really what a television company wants is, they want this thing to be able to go three or four years. So literally, can you come up with a 100 ideas? And if you can't come up with a 100 ideas, if this show cannot be done a 100 times, it never makes it as a show. When I got thinking about podcasting and realizing that really what you want to do is, publish at least once a week. At least once a week. If you don't do once a week, you're not going to get any traction. Matthew Burns: Well yeah, because there's a lot of podcasts that publish twice a week, but there's a lot of podcasts that don't publish monthly. Stephen Semple: Right. And you're just not going to get following and habitual listeners and participation and things along that lines. When I thought about, "Well, you got to do this once a week", well that means, to go a year, you got to have 50 ideas. So the first question when I was thinking about, "Well, what do I want a podcast", is I had to find something that I knew I could do 50 times.

Dr. Matthew Burns wrote the white papers for the NCLD on the state of methods for identifying SLD across the US in 2019. He included TX as an example of a state that uses PSW, but Texas has since re-written its regulations. Hear his opinion on what he thinks this means for Texas. Dr. Schultz joins the dialogue as well in the argument for IQ tests while Dr. Burns stands strongly against the use of IQ tests to identify children with SLD.

Armadura Metal Roof reveals the behind-the-scenes of putting their prices on the website and the positive change in customer behavior.  Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Steven Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Steven's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode word from our sponsor, which is, well it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Armadura Metal Roof Ad] Stephen Semple: Hey, everyone. Welcome to The Empire Builders podcast. This is Steven Semple here, and we're going to be doing something a little bit different. We've given Dave young the day off and instead I have a very special guest with me, Matthew Burns, who is a customer of ours. And I asked Matt to join us on today's podcast for a really specific reason. I've had a lot of people asking the question or having the thought of, should they be putting their price on the website? Stephen Semple: And what I thought, I could go on my rant about my belief that one should, and instead I thought, you know what? This is a great opportunity to bring on Matt and have him speak about his experience at Armadura Metal Roofing about putting pricing on their website. Because when we first started working with Matthew and Armadura... And you've heard the Armadura ads and they're fricking awesome. But when we first started working with Matthew over at Armadura they didn't have price on their website. And that led for quite an interesting conversation, especially when you look at the background of the roofing industry, because, correct me if I'm wrong, the roofing industry really doesn't like the idea of putting price on website, do they? Matthew Burns: Oh no. No. That's a scary, scary thing to do, yeah. Stephen Semple: So before we get into it, tell us a little bit about your awesome product over at Armadura. Matthew Burns: Armadura Metal Roof was born from a desire to make things easier for the installation guy, the guy who's up on the roof working the 9:00 to 5:00 in the hot sun and the cold winters grinding. Metal roofing is not an easy product to put together, especially if you didn't start in metal, if you started in asphalt and you had to learn the industry, and so a lot of mistakes get made. Matthew Burns: And the systems out there were built by an engineer in a room that has no idea what it's like to be on the roof. They just know that, hey, if we do these things, it's going to work, but you have to do five times the amount of work. Matthew Burns: So when Armadura was invented and we went through the engineering of it, we decided, well, let's put more things together. Let's engineer this thing so that when the installers touch it they go, "Wait a second, I don't have to go as slow. Wait a second, I don't have to remember to add clips." So that's how it was born. And then launched out in 2013. We got some really quick accolades for developing something that was really easy to use. Now it had to beautiful. It has to be amazing for the client as well, for the homeowner. Stephen Semple: It is an awesome product with texture and depth of color. It's beautiful. Matthew Burns: In R and D we probably spent a year and a half, almost two years just in developing it out, just in making it perfect. Stephen Semple: And just so people understand, you guys had a background in shaping and forming metal because for decades you've been serving the automotive industry. Matthew Burns: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So it's not like, gee, we're trying to figure a whole pile of things out. It's like, no, you already had a lot of expertise. Matthew Burns: Yeah, 48 years in the automotive industry or stamping for automotive. I mean,

Referência em Hamburger e Fast-Food, o Burger King está ganhando cada vez mais a atenção dos brasileiros. A rede americana antagoniza com o Mc Donald's desde seus primeiros dias, e conquistou uma legião de fãs e defensores. Mas como a rede surgiu? Por que ela se tornou tão famosa? Tudo começou com o sonho de dois empreendedores, Keith Kramer e Matthew Burns. Na década de 50, os Estados Unidos experimentavam uma época de prosperidade sem precedentes, principalmente pelo grande êxito dos EUA ao final da Segunda Guerra. O clima de euforia e a crescente geração de empregos e riqueza no país americano fez com que os hábitos dos estadunidenses se transformassem. Com o crescimento das cidades e a maior oferta por trabalho e emprego, os americanos ganharam novos hábitos de consumo, e entre eles estava o fato de fazer as refeições fora de casa. Porém, em boa parte do tempo, os americanos queriam refeições que fossem rápidas e ao mesmo tempo que entregassem um bom custo-benefício. Nesse contexto surgiram as lanchonetes fast-food, que oferecem comida rápida, prática e por preços módicos. Um dos grandes expoentes dessa revolução que irrompia no mundo dos alimentos era uma lanchonete em San Bernardino, California, fundada por dois irmãos: O Mc Donald's. A rede fundada pelos irmãos Dick e Maurice Mc Donald's se notabilizou em pouco tempo por conta da forma como servia os sanduíches, em um método extremamente mais rápido do que qualquer outro restaurante da época. O sistema funcionava conforme uma esteira de produção, nos moldes de uma linha de montagem ao estilo Ford. A dinâmica funcionava com a divisão das tarefas entre os funcionários. Nela, cada funcionário tinha uma função específica, que deveria ser executada sempre da mesma forma e no mesmo tempo, buscando a excelência e a eficiência. Esse método foi batizado como Speedy System, ou sistema rápido, em tradução literal. Mas, apesar de serem os criadores do sistema, os irmãos Mc Donald's não tinham muito apego ao sistema, e em vez de manterem o sistema como um segredo do restaurante, eles decidiram licenciar o sistema, através de um workshop em que qualquer pessoa poderia aprender a como montar e operar o sistema rápido em seu próprio negócio. Para tanto, os irmãos cobraram 950 dólares, em valores da época, para compartilharem os segredos do método. Nesse meio tempo, Keith Kramer e Matthew Burns participaram de um destes workshops e aprenderam tudo sobre o sistema rápido do Mc Donald's. Inspirados e com o sonho de abrirem uma lanchonete baseada em hambúrgueres, os dois amigos abriram em 1953 o Insta-Burger King, na cidade de Jacksonville na Flórida. Um restaurante que serviria hambúrgueres com um grande diferencial: ao invés de serem fritos em chapas, os bifes dos hambúrgueres seriam feitos em uma máquina chamada Insta-Broiler, que tornava a carne mais suculenta. Aliando este diferencial no produto e o sistema rápido, a lanchonete foi um enorme sucesso. E em cerca de um ano, a empresa passou a abrir unidades franqueadas. Uma destas unidades franqueadas foi vendida para outros dois amigos, James Mc Lamore e David Edgerton. Ambos haviam se formado em Administração na Universidade de Cornell, e procuravam uma oportunidade de negócio. E a exemplo dos fundadores da agora rede de lanchonetes, eles também visitaram os irmãos Mc Donald's para aprenderem melhor sobre o sistema rápido. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rodrigo-felicissimo/support
