Unlocking the Future of Smart Home Technology: Insights from Hagan Kappler, CEO of DaisyIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge welcomes Hagan Kappler, the founder and CEO of Daisy, a company on a mission to redefine smart home and small business technology services. Hagan shares how Daisy is creating a national brand in an otherwise fragmented industry—one that offers not just installation, but also consistent, long-term support.Whether you're a consumer seeking a better smart home experience or an entrepreneur interested in franchise ownership, this conversation uncovers the technology trends, business models, and growth opportunities shaping the future of connected living.Redefining Smart Home Services Through Standardization and SupportAs the smart home market continues to expand—now exceeding $30 billion in the U.S. alone—it still faces serious fragmentation. Many technology contractors are small, local operators with deep product knowledge but limited business infrastructure. Hagan Kappler launched Daisy to solve this problem by offering a platform where talented installers can operate under one cohesive, national brand with the support they need to scale.Daisy provides solutions ranging from home audio and visual systems to smart lighting, security, motorized shades, and fully integrated control panels. But what truly sets Daisy apart is their ongoing commitment to service. Unlike typical one-off installations, Daisy ensures homeowners, builders, and property managers receive continual updates, maintenance, and training—maximizing the longevity and effectiveness of their smart systems.For small business owners, Daisy's franchise model opens doors. Entrepreneurs can either start a new operation, convert an existing business, or acquire a company, all while receiving centralized support in operations, marketing, customer service, and technology. It's a win-win: customers enjoy trusted expertise, and franchisees get to grow under a brand backed by national reach.About Hagan KapplerHagan Kappler is the founder and CEO of Daisy, the first national brand in smart space installation and services. Previously, she served as CEO of Threshold Brands, leading nine service businesses across 550+ locations.

We'll also discuss the unexpected ways non-competes can protect smaller groups, the rise of independent contractor models, and the critical staffing issues in emergency medicine. A highlight of our discussion includes the lure and the trap of signing bonuses—what seems like a generous offer can sometimes come with subtle strings attached. Finally, we'll touch on the U.S. Senate's investigation into major staffing companies and the innovative emergence of empath units for mental health patients.

Several years ago, leading VC Marc Andreessen proposed the notion that innovation happens through a process of unbundling and rebundling. Healthcare is no exception. Through the micro-specialization of companies, we've witnessed a great deal of unbundling in the industry. Now, we've begun the process of rebundling. So, what does this mean for the future of healthcare tech? And how do venture investors leverage this idea to decide which digital health startups deserve funding? Dr. Vineeta Agarwala is General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, where she leads investments for the a16z bio and health fund across digital health care delivery, biotech and life sciences tools and diagnostics. Dr. Agarwala has a special interest in companies leveraging unique datasets to improve healthcare delivery, and she serves on several healthcare portfolio company boards, including Memorial Health, Thyme Care and Waymark. On this episode of HLTH Matters, Dr.  Agarwala joins host Dr. Guatam Gulati to discuss what health payviders are doing to aggregate the best technology for specialty care and how we might integrate such specialized health tech into already complicated workflows. Dr. Agarwala shares her take on the successes and failures of digital health in the last decade, describing how healthcare tech has been transformative for certain patient populations and why she sees most remote connected wearables as a missed opportunity. Listen in to understand how the high bar for fundraising is changing the way a16z makes decisions and get Dr. Agarwala's advice for aspiring founders in healthcare tech. Topics CoveredHow Dr. Agarwala thinks about the unbundling and rebundling of services in healthcareWhat health payviders are doing to aggregate the best possible technology across large numbers of specialty care areasHow we might integrate specialized health tech into already complicated workflows (and why it's such a challenge)Dr. Agarwala's take on patients, providers and payers as joint custodians of healthcare dataThe pros and cons of imposing a government tax on corporations to access healthcare dataHow digital health has been transformative for some small patient populations, health systems and provider practicesWhy Dr. Agarwala sees remote connected wearables as a failure in the absence of intelligent care managementHow the high bar for fundraising has changed the way a16z makes healthcare tech investment decisionsWhy a16z is encouraging its portfolio companies to adopt a lean business modelWhy now is a phenomenal time to start a company in the healthcare technology spaceHow Dr. Agarwala's experience with her grandfather's death informs her work at a16z Connect with Dr. Vineeta AgarwalaDr. Agarwala at Andreessen HorowitzDr. Agarwala on TwitterDr. Agarwala on LinkedIn  Connect with Dr. Guatam GulatiHLTHDr. Gulati on TwitterDr. Gulati on LinkedIn  ResourcesJulie Yoo at Andreesen HorowitzThyme Care

Have you ever heard that you can't create a $1 million business off of a smaller offer? That simply isn't true and today's guest is proof of that. In this episode of Art of Online Business, I sat down with Jessica Berk from Awesome Little Sleepers to talk about how she did that in her niche within a niche. In this case study, we talk about how Jessica runs an evergreen funnel to her course and gets better sales than when she offered live launches. In this episode, she's here to share exactly what she does, how she does it, and how she got to where she is today. You'll also get some behind-the-scenes coaching so you can see how I am working with Jessica to solidify her business so that she can scale it even more. When her 3 year old moved to a big girl bed and started refusing to go to bed and waking up at all hours of the night, she felt like she had a newborn again. She and her husband were miserable! She decided she couldn't survive like this.Everyone talks about sleep struggles when you have a baby, but no one was talking about the sleep struggles that happen when kids get bigger!So, she learned everything she could about toddler development and behavior and got certified as a sleep coach.She's spent the last 7 years perfecting a foolproof framework, the REST Method™, to turn kids into independent sleepers.And she's successfully helped thousands of parents with even the most strong-willed kids get them to bed happily before 8pm and sleeping soundly 10 - 12 hours through the night – with no wake ups.In this episode, you'll learn:Why it's so important to know your audienceWhy she decided to launch a courseWhen she decided to switch to an evergreen modelWhy you need to have your audience at the front of your mindThe impact her course has enabled her to make on her audienceThe foundation we are working on strengthening Jessica's conversion ratesTips for using ad data to make decisions Links & Resources:The Art of Online Business websiteDM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clips on YouTubeFull episodes of The Art of Online Business Podcast on YouTubeThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching program*Disclosure: I only recommend products I use and love and all opinions expressed here are my own.

I found about Lori's work recently and after reading her book Connections over Compliance: Rewiring our Perceptions of Discipline, I really wanted to bring her on as a guest because I believe the work she is doing is revolutionary. Lori's work centers around helping educators, parents, and any adults who work with children shift the way they think about discipline by reaching for sustainable behavioral changes through brain state awareness rather than compliance and obedience. She's actively pushing back against reactive and punitive practices that can potentially reactivate the developing stress response systems of children, and is advocating for stronger co-regulation practices and regulated brain and body states for adults. During this conversation, we consider why there is such a powerful foundational belief that discipline and punishment go together, what happens when the traditional methods of punishment are imposed on children who are coming to school with trauma or a heightened nervous system, and why it's so important for educators to take responsibility over their own nervous system regulation.  About Dr. Lori DesautelsDr. Lori Desautels, has been an Assistant Professor at Butler University since 2016 where she teaches both undergraduate and graduate programs in the College of Education.Lori's passion is engaging her students through the social and relational neurosciences as it applies to education by integrating the Applied Educational Neuroscience framework, and its learning principles and practices into her coursework at Butler. Lori is the author of 4 books. Her most recent book, Connections over Compliance: Rewiring our Perceptions of Discipline was released in late 2020. Her new book will be published in January, 2023 entitled, “Intentional Neuroplasticity, Our Educational Journey Towards Post Traumatic Growth.” Things you'll learn from this episodeWhy there is such a powerful foundational belief that discipline and punishment go togetherWhat happens when the traditional methods of punishment are imposed on children who are coming to school with traumas or a heightened nervous systemWhy we should be moving away from the behavior management modelWhy it's so important for educators to take responsibility over their own nervous system regulationStrategies for helping teachers (and parents) better show up for dysregulated kids Resources mentionedRevelations in Education, Dr. Lori Desautel's websiteConnections Over Compliance: Rewiring Our Perceptions of Discipline by Dr. Lori DesautelsEyes Are Never Quiet: Listening Beneath the Behaviors of Our Most Troubled Students by Dr. Lori DesautelsResources from Revelations in EducationDr. Bruce PerryDr. Mona Delahooke on the Power of Brain-Body Parenting (Tilt Parenting podcast episode)Support the showConnect with Tilt Parenting Visit Tilt Parenting Take the free 7-Day Challenge Read a chapter of Differently Wired Follow Tilt on Twitter & Instagram

By building a conducive culture that allows them to thrive. Gustavo Razzetti is a sought-after speaker, culture consultant, and author of three books.

Cherie digs into her journey as a local business owner and shares how that experience gave her an honest look at the challenges small businesses have to face. This spurred her to create Member Marketplace Inc, a business that makes it easy to implement an e-commerce marketplace for your community or organization, creating a one-stop shop for buying products and services from businesses online.After becoming a mother, Cherie launched a hair bow business called the Pink Barrette when she was looking for something with flexible hours that would still allow her to stay home with her kids. She started selling at farmers markets, on her website, and on Amazon.It was at one of these farmers markets that she realized a lot of local businesses relied heavily on events to sell their products. Because of her experience with the Pink Barrette, she knew the impact that e-commerce could have on a local business. This led her to create Member Marketplace with her husband, a web developer. From there they've expanded to work with local businesses and organizations all over the country including Shop Iowa, Shop Made In Nevada, California Shop Small, and Shop North Dakota.Cherie chats more in this episode about her pivot from local business to startup and what it's been like to be a part of a startup accelerator.

Ask any parent what it's like to know your teen or young-adult child is coming home from drug treatment and you'll see a very frightened, confused, and anxious person. It's a highly vulnerable time for the child and a hopeful, yet confusing and terrifying time for parents and caregivers. Wonder, co-founded by Dave Herz and Willow Rubin is a unique program closing that gap in care, role-modeling, support, and expertise when it's needed most. This was such an enlightening and hopeful conversation with two people who have played many roles in the treatment and therapeutic world and I'm so grateful for them sharing their knowledge and insights with us. You'll hear about:How Dave & Willow noticed a gap in traditional treatment for teens and young adults and then developed a therapy service that fills itWhat teens and young adults actually want most from their parentsWhat Dave describes as “warrior work” for parents and why it's the hardest thing to doHow meeting kids where they are (aka, not in a therapist office) is such an important part of their successTheir philosophy of “we show up,” what it takes to deliver on it, and what that looks like vs traditional modelsWhy they provide separate coaches for parents and teens/young adults to meet their different needsHow they work with parents to help them stop enabling destructive behavior and recognize their own needs and boundariesHow they help parents feel empowered and enabled to make their own choices The uncomfortable reality that we as parents don't have control over what our kids do - but how we can still help themThe difference between loving unconditionally and enablingWhy it's important for parents to be held accountable - as well as their kids Why parents shouldn't focus on future outcomes and spend time in “future thinking”How kids don't make their decisions based on the future like adults often doWhat they're seeing today related to the opioid epidemicHow they're transitioning their in-person model to adjust for COVID-19The role of energy and creativity in their therapeutic modelWhy things may be getting better with your kid even if their behavior isn't changing, and how to tellShow notes with recommended resources and full transcript at www.brendazane.com/hopestream/16If you're a mom who needs strength and support while your child is experimenting with or addicted to drugs, or recovering from addiction, please join our private online community, The Stream, at www.brendazane.com/thestream.Download my free ebook “HINDSIGHT: 3 Things I Wish I Knew When My Son Was Addicted to Drugs
