About this episode This week on the podcast my guest is Meghan Asha, founder of FOUNDERMADE. Meghan and the FOUNDERMADE team are focused on bringing consumer brand companies together with some of the largest retail buyers in the world. Meghan has helped hundreds of startups in the consumer product space elevate their brand. She also has a real passion for connecting the right people together for mutual value. I love what this can do for startups in this space and I loved hearing Meghan's personal startup story. In this episode, you'll find out just how important it is to stay focused on, as Meghan puts it, “your 90-year-old self” so that you can build a life you will be proud of when you're, well, 90 years old! You will also hear how critical it is to shut down all the negative self-talk if you want any chance of success. And finally, you'll see how important it is to have grace for yourself on this journey of entrepreneurship. What is so interesting about Meghan's startup story is that it took various people in her life to see her passion for connecting people together as a business, before she ever saw it as a business herself. But like all Startup Stories, we need to start at the very beginning to understand the full journey. This is Meghan Asha's startup story. In this episode you'll hear About the Cycle of Entrepreneurship and how it affected Meghan's decision to become an entrepreneur How Meghan learned from her past and made specific changes within her business Her journey from having a big job on Wall Street and her decision to leave to be at CES and start her path to entrepreneurship How her parents had a big influence on her journey The art of staying focused The importance of shutting down negative self-talk Meghan's work with advisors, how they shaped her work and the growth of FounderMade “I had people believing in me long before I believed in myself.” —Meghan Asha, FOUNDERMADE Resources from this episode Connect with Meghan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghanasha/ FOUNDERMADE website: https://www.foundermade.com/ The Startup Story featuring Emma Rose Cohen: https://www.thestartupstory.co/finalstraw FOUNDERMADE Events: https://www.foundermade.com/events-1 Share the episode: The Startup Story community has been so incredible sharing our podcast with others, and we thank you!

When our next guest imagined herself as a 90-year-old woman, she didn’t see herself sitting behind the desk she had currently called, “her job”. Long hours left with little spiritual payout, triggered this born leader to begin her “side hustle”. Little did she know that this simple passion would be the key to her entrepreneurial story. She started with dinner parties, the first being in a communal gym space below her apartment building. Her goal was to lift others up and help them cultivate their, so-called “side hustles” as well. This is how FounderMade was born. FounderMade, a company that hosts curated summits to help inspiring lifestyle brands grow. Meghan is the star of this show, I call her the “Mother” of the ship, she has created a flourishing company made off of empowering others. AND not to mention, her summits, are what I call, “The Apple Store of Trade Shows” - Clean, Crisp, Clear! Meghan is a true leader and she does it all while training for her marathons - yes, waking up at 4:30 am to run before work! Meghan is a giver to her friends, family and those involved in the entrepreneurial community but her main key to success in maintaining balance is to always, “Be present for yourself, first”.

Meghan Asha is a person that trade shows like CES should be very afraid of. She's the founder of FounderMade, the latest and greatest consumer discovery show. But what's different about this show? She only has some of the most successful founders speak- we're talking people like the founder of ClassPass, DryBar, and Lo Bosworth...she's obsessed with finding the best products in health and wellness, and she's not afraid to admit that she knows she's onto something special.

Consumer discovery platform and event summit series dedicated to helping current and future founders build their business… Meghan Asha and Navi Ganancial , Co-Founders of FounderMade (a platform dedicated to promoting and inspiring entrepreneurs worldwide) join guest hosts Marc Raco and Barbara Zinn Moore in the MouthMedia Network studios powered by Sennheiser.In this episode: Consumer Discovery Show in Santa Monica, CA 10/04/18 Why does it matter? The big master plan of FounderMade as a mission, current stage is the shows Help launch, drive commerce in an efficient way Wasn’t supposed to be a business, Meghan sold a digital media company, started working in venture capital FounderMade came from question – when you’re 90 what will make you happy (guiding principle) Wanted to do 12 dinners, call them founder made – like founder therapy, and bring the next generation, dinners got bigger and bigger Follow the breadcrumbs Hearing stories of imperfect buildings of business, human stories of building business, build for dreams Why it is easier now than ever before to start a business, but special sauce of why you do it, getting mentorship, and a certain element that you can’t Google Meeting at Randi Zuckerberg’s birthday party How Google Glass played into forming a partnership Helping to launch Fashion Tech Forum Adding a beauty summit Not believing it was a real business, and how  it is so much fun How Meghan and Navi didn’t really understand the trade show business Getting feedback from exhibitors, what was learned from retailers and brands, investors secondary Trying to be the most efficient way of driving commerce at the show Launchpad for brands in consumer space Companies need to be mission driven, transparency and innovation, 2M in revenue optimally The next generation of wellness — and trends Men’s sector of wellness not yet owned A hair system that’s being launched at the conference Consumer Discovery Show Providing value, doing something beyond yourself, the greater good Finding joy and peace The importance of trying Helping others build The post 060 – Meghan Asha and Navi Ganancial of FounderMade – Helping Others Build appeared first on Beauty Is Your Business.

Meghan Asha, Founder and CEO of Foundermade, the cutting-edge event series dedicated to putting entrepreneurs directly in front of retailers and distributors through their tech platform and annual summits. Meghan is the Founder’s Founder—she has dedicated herself to helping others build and scale and be the best versions of their business they possible can. Talk about putting good karma in the world. She was on her own journey to find the right career path for many years and kissed many frogs before she decided to be her own prince. We think that’s BAWSE. You’ll hear how Meghan hollered at the universe to figure out how to help her help others build, and the universe was home and answered. You’ll also hear a fun lightning round Q&A with a few of the Founders we had the pleasure of meeting at the spring CDS show—brands like Cannuka, Barry’s Bootcamp and Spindrift, to name a few! Meghan has always said that BluePrint was a big source of inspiration for her to create something from the ground up. She’s pretty amazing with a compliment. For her next act, she can be Founder and President of the HTW Podcast fan club.  Meghan was leaving the studio to run a marathon in Patagonia. She decided to run a marathon in every continent by her 40th birthday. She says she’s not a runner. But we are ACTUALLY not runners and we know the difference. Girl can run, but she can’t lie.  Part of her earlier business involved ironing inspirational quotes onto gift bags for an event, a process which she admitted to genuinely enjoying. It’s the simple pleasures…speaking of simple pleasures, we better check out Lupe’s Kitchen in LA to figure out what really makes her tick. We asked her to describe her experience creating Foundermade in five words or less. She used four and fucking nailed it.  Iron that on.   As part of our rapid fire Q&As, we heard from Barry’s Bootcamp CEO Joey Gonzales, who also seems to be obsessed with chicken nachos.  Clearly we have missed the boat filled with Mexican chickens. Michael Bumgarner created Cannuka--incredible skincare products using Manuka honey and CBD, kinda like two great tastes that taste great together. Except don’t eat it. Just put it on your skin and let the magic happen. And Spindrift founder Bill Creelman imparts a bit of his business wisdom (#bizdom?) to share the best and worst advice he’s gotten as he has built his empire of sparkling beverages using real tasty fresh juice (not that creepy natural essences stuff).    Let the inspiration begin!   www.foundermade.com @foundermade @cannuka @spindriftfresh @barrysbootcamp

Jane's guest is Meghan Asha, the creator and CEO of FounderMade, one of the beauty, health, fitness, nutrition and wellness industry's most buzzed about events. Over the years, Meghan has leveraged her early-on passion for building and empowering companies to produce this remarkable platform and conference series that connects best-in-class startups to investors, influencers, media and consumers, along with such well-established brands as Bobby Brown, Frederick Fekkai, EsteeLauder, Target and Starbucks, to name but a few. A trail blazer and visionary, Meghan had the foresight to understand that even successfully budding entrepreneurs need support and connection to major industry players, so she began bringing together business contacts from those earlier jobs as part of an intimate dinner series — which eventually evolved into FounderMade. On Jane's show today, Meghan will talk about how her multifaceted career, from being an analyst in a venture capital firm, to interviewing leaders of tech companies for a weekly internet talk show, and building her own digital media platform, all led to FounderMade ---and being profiled in The New York Times, Forbes and Entrepreneur Magazine. She'll also share the secrets of her extraordinary success and talk about the latest products and trends, as well as her personal advice and mantras for how listeners can become Better Than Before.

Meghan Asha is living her dream. She is an exuberant woman, obsessed with food, wellness and beauty products, and she has built a platform to bring these brands to market and help them grow. But her business plan wasn’t always so clear. Today, working in her sprawling SoHo loft office, Meghan gauges her happiness and her success from the vantage point of her 90-year-old self. And it was insight from her 90-year-old self that gave her the perspective to make her very first step towards what would become FounderMade. In my conversation with Meghan below, it is so apparent to me that she lives every day in a state of wonder and excitement for what she is building and how far she’s come. Every entrepreneur should be so lucky to operate from this state. And with her advice, you probably can be. Please enjoy this refreshing conversation with Meghan Asha about how embracing uncertainty and taking small steps have led her to create the business of her dreams.
