Susan is the youngest National President of Women in Insurance & Financial Services in the over 80 year history of the organization, a “4 Under 40” by Advisor Today, and one of the “Women of Influence” by New York Business Journal.  She's also the founder of Pancakes For Roger Inc.,a not-for-profit corporation that unites veterans with opportunities to help address the unique challenges they face during and after their service…and she does that by asking folks to enjoy a simple pleasure in life…eating pancakes. Here's the backstory: Susan was extraordinarily close with her father, Major General Roger Combs, a Vietnam War veteran who was diagnosed with throat cancer due to Agent Orange exposure, and had to be put on a feeding tube. One fateful morning, Roger expressed a simple wish: he wanted to have pancakes for breakfast, but couldn't, due to his physical condition and limitations. After having a pancake breakfast with her family in her father's memory, Susan decided that she would create a movement to honor and give back to the brave men and women that serve their country.  It started with a grassroots effort. Then it became a best-selling book. Now it's a global endeavor that's making a big difference. For every pancake picture posted or tagged on social media with the hashtag #PancakesForRoger, Susan's non-profit makes a donation in Major General Combs' name  to the Veterans Clinic at the University of Missouri in his hometown.

Amanda Baldwin never considered herself an entrepreneur because she's technically not a founder. But her mindset shifted when she won Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2022. Amanda earned this distinction as a first-time CEO of Supergoop! the first protective skincare brand that puts SPF at the forefront because she has been breaking boundaries and innovating in her role from day one. Supergoop!'s mission is to change how the world thinks about sunscreen through its clean, feel-good, highly innovative formulas that are fun and easy to use daily. She has taken the brand to places no other sunscreen category has gone before. Amanda was also recently named one of the top 25 Women in Consumer HealthTech and a Woman of Influence by the New York Business Journal. Amanda is a veteran of the beauty and finance industries, but this role as CEO is her first. Under her leadership for the past seven years, the company has grown well over 20x, become highly profitable, and secured a majority investment from Blackstone Growth, Blackstone's platform backing the next generation of category-creating brands. Beginner's luck? No way. Her educational and experience pedigree has shaped who she is today. She oversees the entirety of the organization, setting its strategy for growth, building a world-class team, and leading the company's marketing, sales, product development, operations, and finance divisions. Before joining Supergoop! Amanda was a member of the operating team at L Catterton with a particular focus on the beauty sector. Prior to L Catterton, she led the omnichannel marketing strategy of Dior Beauty at LVMH, Inc. and held several positions at Clinique, a part of The Estee Lauder Companies. Her career began in finance as a private equity investor at Apax Partners and an investment banking analyst at Goldman Sachs. In this episode, Amanda spills the secrets to her success, and spoiler alert: it involves putting in the hard work. We discuss what it means to innovate in a category, her views on marketing and partnerships, and why one of the biggest challenges of entrepreneurship is that you can see the big, big, big, big picture, but that doesn't mean you can do all of it right away. We dive deep into what she attributes to her success in gaining management's trust to test, learn, and iterate. She shares how she thinks about leadership, the matchmaking process of hiring, and why it's not just about knowing how to do the job but LOVING to do the job and how candidates can stand out from the pack.

Their mission is to change the status quo and leverage the talent of Women in Produce to close the industry's gender divide by inspiring, connecting and empowering women around the world.

Joined again by Alex, #IJB's own version Eric Sato, we enter the squared circle of Sports Business gabbing. We grapple with the high stakes board room maneuvers of Andre the Giant sized media conglomerates as they battle to acquire and/or keep broadcast rights for the UFC and the WWE. The excellent article by John Ourand from the New York Business Journal gives an insider's look at how this all hit the mat and we reference it highly in our discussion. We also look at the Battle Royale that is the globes top valued franchises through Forbes' annual list. It goes without saying but, F the Cowboys. And what show would be complete without annoying and confusing Steve with a Hollywierd discussion? Our excuse this episode is the rumors James Franco might be directing a biopic of ESPN based on the saucy book Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN by Tom Shales (WaPo what what!) and James Andrew Miller. We eventually end the show casting this potential movie. Who would you have play Chris Berman, Dan Patrick or Stuart Scott?

Anni Keffer is a nationally recognized educator, speaker, author, and entrepreneur who is passionate about youth leadership. She has been featured on CBS, ABC, NBC, and FOX affiliates as well as in a number of publications, including Yahoo, Pittsburgh Post Gazette, New York Business Journal, Miami Herald, Mompreneur Media, and more. She’s the founder of the Young Women of Influence Conference and an in-demand leadership speaker. Anni was nominated for WHIRL Magazines Women In Business 2016, and is a co-author of Girls Lead. Her new book is Leadership Built On Why: A Guide for Young Adults. ----- Author Anni Keffer’s most recent book, Leadership Built on Why, is starting conversations among young adults and encouraging them to take advantage of the opportunities to lead regardless of their age. Her focus is on supporting women and young adults as they overcome external and internal criticism and find the inner strength and inspiration to seize the mantle of leadership. In this episode, Anni Keffer discusses how her leadership traits manifested and offers advice for other young people and women of all ages to overcome negativity and trust their own leadership potential. From an early age, Anni’s family were leaders in their community and in their careers. From this introduction to leadership, Anni realized that no one will pass you the torch — in order to be successful, you must reach out and grab it! Leadership is about making a conscious decision to make an impact in the world, serving people by giving back at both a local and global level. One of the biggest takeaways is that while we see successful people in the media every day, what we don’t see is the struggle that they each went through to attain greatness. They didn’t magically wake up one day and claim wealth and a new lifestyle beyond our dreams. Instead, they worked tirelessly every day until their dreams came to fruition. You have to follow your passion — focus on what excites you personally or something that frustrates you greatly so you can change the world. When you’re hearing negativity from others, it can be easy to get bogged down in those feelings. Instead, separate yourself from that feeling and respond with love and peace. Negative comments often come from a place of jealousy, from individuals who don’t have your same self-belief and trust. Throughout the episode, Anni Keffer unpacks what it means to truly dig deep into your thoughts and feelings to release positivity and free yourself to become a true leader.

Kathryn Minshew, founder and CEO of career discovery platform The Muse talks about what it was like to start a company at the age of twenty-six. She shares how she overcame not one, not two, but over a hundred no's to get a yes from venture capitalists. All that with everyone refuting her innovative ideas. "There are certain core things that I know and that I believe and those are remarkably consistent." - Kathryn Minshew Three Things We Learned Out with tired, uninspired branding One of the reasons why Kathryn started The Muse was she wanted a solution to a prevailing problem in the market. People type into search engines a job role and pull thousands of results that more often than not offer no help in truly advancing their careers. This transactional process had her thinking about how a brand built to support career-seekers in starting and growing in a community could be more effective. Trying something radical is bound to be challenging While she was still starting out, Kathryn encountered countless well-intentioned rejections from experts and experienced business owners. Her job-and-content branding idea was dismissed as impractical, risky, and unprofitable. Undeterred, she stuck to what she believed in, maintaining that she had seen something beyond what conformists did for all the times they remained boxed. Sometimes trusting your gut feel is the only way to go To a certain degree, internal arguments can be resolved by rationales backed by data and evidence-based market research. But there are instances, few and far between, when it's time to make the call based on your instincts despite what observed trends say. Kathryn has had way too many experiences with this, and she has proven that sometimes faith in what we believe in is all that we need to move forward. Kathryn is testament to how feeling strongly about one's idea of navigating the world can be key to success. This applies to many aspects of the human life and not just business. An awareness of where you stand in the grand scheme of things and an unwavering mentality to be consistent with it can make all the difference. Bio: Kathryn is the Founder and CEO of The Muse, a career discovery platform that helps over 50+ million people a year in their career search, and helps over 700 companies looking to hire talent and grow their employer brand. Kathryn is also the co-author of “The New Rules of Work: The Modern Playbook for Navigating Your Career” (Crown Business, April 2017). What's more interesting that fake IDs are now Scannable and will pass ultraviolet light tests in 2021. Top fake id makers will accept Bitcoin for their purchases & ship your packages within a week time. Prior to founding The Muse, Kathryn worked on vaccine introduction in Rwanda and Malawi with the Clinton Health Access Initiative and previously worked as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company. When not at work, Kathryn is an avid globe-trotter and an adventurous cook.

There are 54 million American freelancers alone, and it is crucial for businesses to keep up an environment that can evolve with the fluctuation of the Gig Economy.  Servcorp is the leading provider in luxury shared workspace. Even a small startup can have a private office at the World Trade Center in Manhattan for $1,000 a month, and a virtual office package for as little as $200. Marcus told the New York Business Journal in March “We believe that not everyone wants to come to work in shorts, ride their scooter to work, play ping pong and have beers at lunch. There will certainly be demand for a premium product in flexible space with a high level of service and infrastructure.”
