Summary On this episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Victoria Dickerson, Jeff Amerine, and Grace Gill talk to Peter Mann, founder and CEO of Oransi. Oransi is a leading manufacturer of HEPA air purifiers and a motor technology company with a sustainable mission based in Radford, VA. Peter's passion for clean air began with his son who struggled with asthma. Conducting extensive research, he learned the significant impact of poor air quality on one's health. Peter aimed to create an affordable and accessible solution for others, thus, Oransi was born in 2009. Peter shares his passion for neurodiversity advocacy, and discusses how being on the autistic spectrum has impacted his career as an entrepreneur and the lack of awareness about neurodiversity in the workforce. He details how entrepreneurship may be a viable option for those on the spectrum rather than corporate jobs. Throughout the episode, Peter discusses his passion for marketing, clean air advocacy, and autism advocacy.

And there's a guy at Harvard who leads their healthy building program who says your facility or building manager has a bigger impact on your health than your doctor does.” - Peter Mann, (7:13) “We're really kind of, shockingly in some ways, in the early days of understanding the impacts of poor indoor air quality and what we're doing is really just trying to raise awareness for [the danger of that] as well as provide solutions that are affordable and accessible.” - Peter Mann, (8:14) “For me, I think how I got to where I am is largely in part due to [being autistic] and that drive for autonomy. I don't know anyone who's autistic that worked their way up through a large organization to the top, but I know several folks that are autistic that started their own business…if your interest is work or producing new things or bringing products to market or working on problems, and that's where you get your energy, I think that's definitely an advantage.” - Peter Mann, (14:28) “You're going to work most of your life. You could have a fifty year career and you don't have to crush it in year one…and everything always takes longer so you have to have patience and be able to stick with it.” - Peter Mann, (24:38)
Peter Mann started Oransi to help his son breathe better. Now, their air purifiers are sold around the world and bring in a six-figure monthly revenue. He'll explain how to develop and launch a product the right way in this episode. Oransi isn't Peter's first business. He was also the founder of Alen Corp, an air purification company he built to a successful exit. He drew on that experience when he was developing his first product launch for Oransi. Today, Oransi's air purification technology is renowned for its intuitive performance, used in high-profile locations like the National Institute of Health. In this interview, Peter will share how to launch a product that dominates niche markets. You'll hear how Peter developed a product that solves customers' problems, how he used word-of-mouth advertising to grow his brand, and his advice for other entrepreneurs who want to develop and launch a product from scratch.ResourcesOransi.com - Learn more about the company at their websiteFrom Failing Car Wash to a $500K/Month Business - Listen to Podcast #87 with Thomas D'Eri, founder of Rising Tide Car WashUpFlip Courses - Learn to start a business in any industry with UpFlip's coursesThis Is Marketing: You Can't Be Seen Until You Learn to See- by Seth GodinConnect with UpFlip: On Facebook On Instagram @UpFlipOfficial on Twitter For more insights to start, build, or grow a business, check out the resources on UpFlip.com or head to the UpFlip YouTube channel to see more interviews with business owners and experts.

Don't miss out on our latest podcast featuring a special guest who shares invaluable insights for business success. In this episode, Troy asked Peter Mann, the founder of Oransi based in Blacksburg, USA, the final five questions: What does Peter believe is the hardest thing when growing a small business? Smaller firms frequently lack resources like money, a team, and brand names with instant credibility and trust. Peter emphasizes how crucial it is to research the market and understand what your company's product or service is because, as a small business, you may not be well known. Peter's favorite business book is “This is Marketing” by Seth Godin. He also listened to How I Built This with Guy Raz. He talks with type of bigger business individuals to get their story asks questions and gets the essence of what the path was for a person in establishing their firm. Peter finds reading and watching keynotes to be of utmost significance in terms of professional development. He focuses a lot of his time and energy on the marketing side of things because that is where his interests lie. Peter suggests an effective tool for small business growth is mastering communication and coordination. And so Slack is one that they use just to help remote people communicate really well together, as well as the folks at their office. Finally, if Peter could go back to day one of starting out, he would advise himself to bear no fear. He also shared that it feels like in your 20s you have 50 years to work and you don't have to crush it on day one. Because it's a long process and it takes longer and costs more than you think to get there. Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course.

In this episode of Somebody Gets Me, I am joined by Peter Man, CEO & Founder of Virginia-based Oransi, a leading air purification company known for its efficient, intuitive, and reliable products. Peter, proudly identifies as autistic and is on a mission to raise awareness about autism in order to improve the lives of others. He discusses the stigmas that come with being autistic and how society can work towards changing them, stressing the importance of embracing one's differences and focusing on their strengths to achieve success. Peter touches on the challenges faced by the autistic community, specifically the high unemployment rate. He believes that the problem lies not with autistic individuals, but with the neurotypical hiring process that is not inclusive. The interview process is often designed for social extroverts, which makes it difficult for those who are not wired in that way to succeed. He offers support to those Neurodivergent individuals who need help navigating that aspect of the business world. Peter encourages a mindset of diversity and inclusion to help solve complex problems and emphasizes the need to have awareness about oneself and society in order to set proper expectations. Throughout the episode, the speaker shares their experiences and insights gained from being a part of the autistic community, highlighting the importance of compassion and self-love. Ultimately, the episode serves as a call to action for society to be more accepting and accommodating of those who are different than the historically perceived norm. ----------------------------------------------------- Peter Mann is the CEO & Founder of Virginia-based Oransi, a leading air purification company known for its efficient, intuitive, and reliable products.
