I would say protect your intellectual property… I would say prototype the heck out of it. So you have an idea whether it's a digital product or a physical product if you want to get some very rough low fidelity prototypes in front of potential customers as soon as possible, nothing fancy not CAD drawings, not 3D printed, like hardboard paper or really basic clickable digital prototypes so that iterate as many as possible ”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-772

SEGMENT 1: When it comes to a website, it's not set it and forget it. According to a Stanford university study, 75% of consumers just a company's credibility based on their website's design. Reviewing your website performance with a professional marketer is just like reviewing your balance sheet with your accountant. If you want to upgrade your website, what elements should you focus on? Beth Thouin, VP of Digital Marketing at Web.com, lays it all out for us.SEGMENT 2: Are you working hard to develop and launch a new or innovative product? If so, I have some good news ...and some bad news. First, the bad news: most new products will fail in the market, even if competently executed. The good news is that the former Engineering Director at Google is here to help us avoid this failure. Alberto Savoia is an award-winning entrepreneur, innovator, and speaker. He was the Engineering Director at Google. Today, in addition to working on his own ideas and projects, he teaches his unique approach for beating the Law of Market Failure in seminars and workshops at Google, Stanford University, and to organizations all over the world. He is the author of the book “The Right It”. SEGMENT 3: One of the parts of the economy that has really grown over the last 10 years is the maker culture. This is a democratic, “DIY” culture that intersects with “hacker culture” and revels in the creation of new things as well as tinkering with existing ones. One company, The Grommet, has been on the leading edge of this and one of the co-founders is on to share her insight on the maker economy. Jules Pieri is cofounder and CEO of The Grommet, a site that has launched more than two thousand consumer products since 2008. She was named one of Fortune's Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs in 2013 and Goldman Sachs' 100 Most Interesting Entrepreneurs in 2014. She is currently an Entrepreneur in Residence at Harvard Business School. Her new book is “HOW WE MAKE STUFF NOW: Turn Ideas into Products That Build Successful Businesses”.Sponsored by Nextiva, Corporate Direct, MAKO and Web.com

On today's tech podcast, I am proud to share one of the most inspirational tech startup stories I have heard after recording nearly 600 interviews. Andrew Rubin is the founding CEO of cybersecurity unicorn Illumio Andrew’s fast and unconventional rise in Silicon Valley from a small business owner in St. Louis with little security background only five years ago to fast-tracking Illumio to “unicorn” status just six months after launching out of stealth in 2014 is exceptional. Of the nine cybersecurity “unicorn” CEOs at companies like Cylance, Crowdstrike, and Tanium, Andrew is the only one without a tech pedigree or deep roots in security. This is one of the reasons why Goldman Sachs has named him one of their Most Interesting Entrepreneurs of the Year for the past three consecutive years. The key to his success? Mentorship. Andrew says he built Illumio 100% through his mentors, enlisting people like Marc Benioff, Ben Horowitz and John Thomson (MSFT chairman). But what did these tech titans see in an unknown sales guy from NYC? Andrew shares his unconventional path and inspirational tech startup story to building a $1B+ company and how other non-traditional, non-pedigreed entrepreneurs can rewire their own approaches to mentorship.

They call them Grommets and define them as products with purpose, invented by people with stories. And on this episode of Smart Companies Radio, you'll meet the two women behind all of those grommets or consumer products, more than 2000 since 2008. Julies Pieri, Co-founder, and CEO of The Grommet says she and Co-founder Joanne Domeniconi grew tired of watching fewer and fewer remarkable consumer products making it to the marketplace and decided to do something about it. The Grommet is Pieri's third start up. She was named one of Fortune's Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs in 2013 and one of Goldman Sach's 100 Most Interesting Entrepreneurs in 2014. Domeniconi who is also the Chief Discovery Officer of the product launch program at The Grommet spent over 20 years at Stride Rite Corporation as Vice President of Product Development.  On this episode you'll also learn about a new ebook featuring contributions from over 100 inventors, Makers, and entrepreneurs who have launched on The Grommet since 2008 and how you can get the book for free.
