Before co-founding Truebill (now Rocket Money), Yahya Mokhtarzada and his brothers were always starting companies together. From the traditional lemonade stand to shoveling driveways, their ventures were always evolving. Together, they launched Free Webs—which became Webs.com—and Yahya found himself (and his brothers!) raising Series A when Yahya was graduating college.He left after a few years to serve as Vice President of Business Development at Nanigans where he helped grow the company from less than $1 million to over $20 million in run rate. After getting the gang back together, the team of brothers couldn't find a million dollar idea—so they started with a small one. The pain point was huge for people and momentum grew quickly. In late 2021, Truebill was bought by Rocket Companies for $1.275 billion. Yahya continues to serve as the CRO at Truebill, which is now called Rocket Money. In this episode, you will hear:How Yahya and his brothers started Truebill with a very small, specific pain point that he didn't believe had potential to be a big businessThe PR strategy Yahya used to do PR in-house and grow users from 3,000 to 30,000Why you need PR in the early stages of your startup, but should focus your energy on the channels you can control in later stagesConnect with your host on Instagram at @shauna.armitage and listen to more Startup Renegade stories at www.startuprenegades.com

This episode we talk about our most toxic friendships compared to our healthy adult friendships. We dig deep into high school drama and give tips to be your best self, no matter your age.

Chris has extensive experience as an elite athlete, a sales executive and a life/business coach. After high school, Chris raced international triathlons and attended Norwich University Military Academy. After just one year, he left college to chase his dream of racing bicycles in Europe. At the age of 22 he broke both arms in a cycling accident. This launched him out of cycling and into the workforce without a college degree. He started his sales career by landing an exclusive job at Yahoo’s largest advertising partner. He excelled in sales and over the next 7 years went on to work with companies like HubSpot, Cloud Provider, Nanigans and Localytics. Realizing he wanted something different, Chris quit sales and, along with Stephen Warley, started the modern business podcast Unstuckable. He became the learner in residence at the Uncollege Guided Gap Year Program, where he created Designing Your Year. This journey led him to Mike, and he found his calling as a men’s coach. Chris lives in San Francisco with his fiance, Anna, and loves helping men live their life from the inside out like he has.The Unshakable Man is an organization focused on men’s total health, wellness and fulfillment. Our mission is to serve men by providing resources and services to connect men to themselves, their important relationships, their work and purpose in life.“We believe a man must be introduced to various perspectives, experiences, and ideas in order to discover new and different ways of being a man. This is how a man challenges his sense of self and becomes unshakable.”Common growth zones we focus on:- Breathwork & mediation- Emotional awareness- Habit creation- Goal completion- Connection / managing important relationships- Purpose, fulfillment & life assessmentLinks:LinkedInWebsite UnshakableManBooks:The Course of LoveMating in CaptivityCutting Through Spiritual MaterialismLanguage of Emotions

Real women. Real conversations. Elevating womankind one talk at a time. IG LIVE TOPIC: You're the SHE to my NANIGANS - the evolution of friendship You have a dream? Ok, kinda a loaded question. How about a hardcore nudge from the universe? Have you felt something nagging you to just do it? Dare we say even a calling? Then, do you have a friend who indulges in your imagination and curiosity? Listening you talk about it for three years, then a pandemic strikes and lights a fire under your ass. That's how Beyond Small Talk Instagram Live was birthed. Literally last week. Now enter that friend, Ali Ogando, who agrees to be your first co-host.   www.jackiejaniec.com • @jackie_janiec #beyondsmalltalk #womensupportingwomen

This week's episode we break down the winners and losers of race 1,000, Ferrari's Shanghai-nanigans, share our thoughts around the paddock after Shanghai, and take a quick look at Azerbaijan. Enjoy!

Join Boston's Top Angels in Our Syndicates: Learn About Our Syndicates Upon graduating in the upper strata of her engineering class at MIT, Lucinda Linde was promptly accepted at Harvard Business school. She worked as an engineer in two successful tech companies, one of which was co-founded by Clayton Christensen of “Innovator’s Dilemma” fame. Her incisive intellect and practical outlook were prized by giants such as HBS’ Howard Stevenson (Link to Howard Stevenson's Interview - Our Most Downloaded Podcast) who hired her to study best practices in angel investing. Lucinda joined Walnut and entered the realm of venture investing. Along the way she took seven years off to be a full-time mother. She has now reinvented herself as a mathy marketing consultant. Sal describes his role in raising the first money for startup rocket ship SQZ Biotech. Lucinda’s undergrad summer internships helped eliminate doing research as a career. Experience running Lecture Series Committee gave her an early taste of running a business. Got into HBS with admissions deferred for two years; did two internships in those two years. Project management and operations in two successful tech companies. Ceramics Process Systems co-founded by Clayton Christiansen & Molten Metal Technologies. Consulting on best practices for business innovation and angel investing. Left consulting when her first baby came along due to travel schedule. Venture investing seemed a better life style fit with parenting. Drawn to Walnut because she wanted to get into software investing. Jean Tempel, also of Walnut Ventures, brought Lucinda into the VC fund she was raising. Jean was a fantastic mentor to Lucinda. Ken Morse and Howard Stevenson hired Lucinda to write a study on the best practices in angel investing. Study was used to teach about angel investing at MIT Sloan for a decade. Angel groups were just starting then. Band of Angels. The VC fund was fully invested so Lucinda saw this as a natural moment to take time out from her career to focus on her children. Fired by 11-year-old son as robotics coach. Wake up call to go back to her career! Parents have to be the voice that teenagers hear as an alternative to mass media and their peers. Connected with Ric Calvillo, founder of Nanigans, at Walnut Venture Dinner. In 2011 Nanigans was one of the companies Facebook was trying out as it got into advertising. Lucinda’s jaw dropped to hear they were already at cash flow break even. Helped with raising money and recruiting. Sal reads a splendid review from listener & angel investor Erik Bullen. Nanigans’ pivots. Started out managing campaigns for clients but gradually migrated to SaaS model where their platform enabled customer to run their own campaigns. Next step was to provide transparency to customers. Focus is “incrementality” rather than attribution, figuring out where spending money actually causes customers to do incremental purchases. Attribution models had failed to make the distinction. Squadle, restaurant automation startup automating. Saves time and increases reliability of data. IoT comes to the back of the restaurant house. At Squadle, Lucinda learned the importance of speaking in the language of the customer; using abstract terms like accountability and IoT got no response from restaurant operators. When she showed an image of a log book the response hit an artery of concern. Lucinda started angel investing because of father in law who is a successful repeat founder. What Lucinda looks for in startups: Are you solving a top priority of your customers? Is this a green field? Nanigans. Wayfair. Critical skills. Traction & agility. How close to product/market fit. Room enough to pivot. Easy to invest too early. Lucinda wonders if there is some application of distributed ledger technology whose time has come. Marketing advice for startups. Trial and error applied wisely is the best tool. Exposure to the customer is essential. Advice to startups: hire marketing people according to how developed your marketing program is. In marketing, there is no playbook.

Ric Calvillo, co-founder and CEO of Nanigans, talks about how incremental revenue plays a role in digital ad strategy.

Nangians is a young Boston company that’s redefining how businesses measure online success. They help retail brands improve retargeting strategies on social media and other digital channels to track the impact advertising has on revenue. Right now, 90% of marketers are doing retargeting wrong, and it’s costing them billions. Led by serial Entrepreneur, Rick Calvillo, Nanigans is an advertising automation leader specializing in improving retargeting and ad spend allocation, regardless of the channel. After starting with as simply a Facebook Marketing Partner, Nanigans now works with major brands like Rue La La to help optimize their ad spend and bridge the gap between paid and unpaid social. While retargeting is nothing new, Nangians differentiates itself on how it measures success. Most marketers look at stats like CPC and last-touch clickthroughs and claim success for driving new customers. But, what about those users who would have bought anyway, even if they weren’t shown an ad? It doesn’t tell the full story. Instead, Nanigans’ platform is based on incremental revenue - the additional lift generated by advertising that would otherwise not have been captured without ad spend. This approach directly ties ad spend to revenue and has helped Rue La La see 6.5x higher return. I invited Rick Calvillo Nanigans to learn more about the company’s journey, how its approach helps solve for many of the headaches marketers face, and how incrementality can help marketers take back control of their ad spend.

Meet Nanigans Co-founder & CEO Ric Calvillo, hear lessons learned from the ups and the downs of the startup journey, and data-driven insight about what most Facebook advertisers are getting wrong.

For this episode, we're chatting with Dan Slagen, the CMO and GTM of Alignable - the networking platform for small and local business owners. Dan is one of the most respected and well-known marketers in Boston for his work with Hubspot, Nanigans, and Wayfair. He has been featured on Bloomberg TV, Fast Money, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch, AdAge, and VentureBeat, among many others. Dan is now leading the charge of all marketing efforts for Alignable. In this episode we’re discussing: - 2 case studies of clever SMB customer experience tactics from companies with little marketing budgets. - How customer experience can help SMBs maintain and build relationships. - What customer experience means to the SMB world, and should they even care? I personally loved this conversation, found it very insightful, and most of all actionable. So as always, grab a pen, grab some paper, and without any further ado, please welcome, Dan Slagen.

OUT AND OUT TALK IS A weekly Dose ofLGBT Entertainment, News of the Gay, Human Interest Gays,all the Pageant 411, & a heaping serving of Tatiana & Johns Hilarity and SHE-nanigans.

Unique value selling, a tactic that’s been employed in the software world for years, guides practitioners to figure out why a product is a particularly good fit for a prospect, and then sell them on that message. That unique value proposition is something all startups mull over from Day One. Too few, however, break that high-level message down into dollars and cents for their potential customers, tying it directly to the bottom line. This week’s podcast invitee, Nanigans’ SVP of Global Sales Aaron Mittman, argues that a unique value selling proposition must be underpinned by a thorough, quantitatively sound ROI. By deconstructing ROI into an actual spreadsheet calculation, you can not only arm your target with a defensible method to evangelize the sale internally, but you are also forced to uncover potential gaps in your sales strategy. Perhaps your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), for example, should prioritize those leads with higher ROI, whether that be a result of their business model, products they currently use, or how quickly they are growing. Without an ROI calculation to back it up, unique value selling can often devolve into the sales team echoing what management believes its strongest product features to be; sometimes, it’s better to let the numbers do the talking. Aaron’s quantitative ROI model seeks to calculate positive impact in 4 areas: (1) increased revenue, (2) decrease costs, (3) decreased risk, and (4) increased speed-to-market. An informed salesperson will be able to walk a potential client through top- and bottom-line math, highlight protection against threats (e.g. increase uptime, reduce liability), and underscore how a product can help clients execute more quickly than ever before. So tune in to hear Aaron’s advice on how to best structure your ROI calculation and bring your unique value selling efforts to the next level! Currently the SVP of Global Sales at Nanigans, Aaron draws from years of experience investing and advising SaaS startups, including CoinTent, CoVis, and Mortar Data. And he’s put this ROI quantification strategy to work many times over. I’d recommend the exercise to even the earliest-stage founders; at the very least it’s a healthy stress-test of your product’s value prop, and at best, you may find it helps your reps drive more deals over the line. Happy listening!

Unique value selling, a tactic that’s been employed in the software world for years, guides practitioners to figure out why a product is a particularly good fit for a prospect, and then sell them on that message. That unique value proposition is something all startups mull over from Day One. Too few, however, break that high-level message down into dollars and cents for their potential customers, tying it directly to the bottom line. This week’s podcast invitee, Nanigans’ SVP of Global Sales Aaron Mittman, argues that a unique value selling proposition must be underpinned by a thorough, quantitatively sound ROI. By deconstructing ROI into an actual spreadsheet calculation, you can not only arm your target with a defensible method to evangelize the sale internally, but you are also forced to uncover potential gaps in your sales strategy. Perhaps your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), for example, should prioritize those leads with higher ROI, whether that be a result of their business model, products they currently use, or how quickly they are growing. Without an ROI calculation to back it up, unique value selling can often devolve into the sales team echoing what management believes its strongest product features to be; sometimes, it’s better to let the numbers do the talking. Aaron’s quantitative ROI model seeks to calculate positive impact in 4 areas: (1) increased revenue, (2) decrease costs, (3) decreased risk, and (4) increased speed-to-market. An informed salesperson will be able to walk a potential client through top- and bottom-line math, highlight protection against threats (e.g. increase uptime, reduce liability), and underscore how a product can help clients execute more quickly than ever before.
