In this episode, we get a sneak peek into one of Sarah's newest projects (the BPE) and dissect what Original Grain is doing right…and what they're still missing - more specifically, the killer positioning play they're missing out on! We'll use the BPE to break down: The biggest gap in their brand strategy (and how most brands fall into the same trap). Why "handcrafted" and/or “craftsmanship” isn't a strong enough selling point anymore (and what works instead). How to build a true brand enemy—and why fighting The Disposable Age could make Original Grain unforgettable. Messaging tweaks that instantly make a brand feel bigger, bolder, and more ownable. If you've ever wondered how to take a “good” brand and make it truly category-defining, this episode is a masterclass.

Nate Lagos is one of my favorite thinkers in DTC. That's because he thinks as well or better than anyone I know about how to do "brand building" in a way that actually generates profit. Put another way, "brand building" doesn't have to = "money burning." At least not for Nate. On this episode we talk about how Original Grain (where Nate is the CMO) is generating huge growth and profits via brand colabs, working with YouTube creators, and more.

I've never done an episode like this ever before. Nate Lagos's tweet outlining his exact 10 keys to growing Original Grain was so good that I immediately DMed him and said, "Let's talk more about all of these." So that's what we did: from 1-10, we went piece by piece through each of the points on the list and kicked them around. This episode is good because Nate is right about so much. Calls to stop touching your ad account, spend money no matter what, and, of course, make sure you've got that dog in you–they're various levels of wise and counterintuitive. Nate is currently the Head of Marketing at Original Grain and formerly ran growth at Dugout Mugs. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [00:00:27] Nate's tweet about success. [00:06:32] Change in mentality in 2022.

We spend a lot of our lives thinking about what has happened in the past and what we plan to have happen, or worry will happen in the future. I find myself caught in this spiral frequently. As a yogi and a yoga instructor I try hard to be patient with my thoughts and understand the patterns that develop from my past and ultimately influence my present and my future. In yoga, these thought blocks are commonly called Samskaras.I first found out about Teddy Droseros in 2018. Teddy has created an unbelievable project to help adults and children have an outlet to express what they are grateful for in the present. In 2018 Teddy along with a few local business A'Pizza Regionale, Original Grain and O Yoga (now Sky Yoga Studios) came up with an idea to raise money through various promotions to donate gratitude journals to all the students at a local elementary school here in Syracuse. I would encourage you to go back and listen to episode 12 with the principal of that school LaJuan White to hear more about the ultimate impact these journals had on the children.As a result of this we had journals at the front desks of both of our yoga studios for students attending classes to take a moment and put into the world what they are grateful for. It is becoming more and more well known the positive effects that taking a few moments a day to journal or express gratitude for what we have in our lives can have a transformative effect on our over all well-being.Teddy has continued to follow his dream of getting Gratitude Journals in as many places as possible and recently came out with a new book that is a collection of peoples entries. Teddy says about the book “I was curious what would happen if I left a communal copy of the Grateful Peoples Gratitude Journal in my neighborhood coffee shop. This is the story of what happened next…”I am extremely excited to finally have Teddy on the podcast. Make sure to check him out in Instagram @gratefulpeoples and visit his website https://gratefulpeoples.com/ to get your own gratitude journal.

Andrew Beltran is the co-founder of Original Grain watches. We stop by their San Diego store front to get the back story on Original Grain and how they used social marketing and Kickstarter to carve out a niche in the watch market. Originally published October 19, 2018
Andrew Beltran is a Marine Corps Veteran and Co-Founder of Original Grain - a badass watch company that uses sustainable hardwoods and stainless steel to create timepieces that stand out from the crowd. Andrew takes Matt and Dynamite through his story and shares some insight into what drives him to be successful.More from the Original Grain websiteAbout:Inspired by their Pacific Northwest roots - and trusting their instincts to trailblaze - brothers Ryan and Andrew Beltran set forth on a mission in 2013: Create an entirely unique timepiece out of wood and steel.The seamless fusion of all-natural, sustainable hardwoods and stainless steel proved to be an instant and enduring smash, both on Kickstarter and in the wild, but it was the bold stroke to use reclaimed wood - wood with a story - that redefined what one should expect from a watch.Painstakingly preserving the character and patterns ingrained in each piece of timber - be it from Kentucky Bourbon barrels or Yankee™ Stadium seats - means every timepiece is a one of its kind, born to chronicle your accomplishments and built to withstand them.With an unwavering commitment to authenticity, innovation, and next-level craftsmanship, Original Grain has emerged as a world-class creator of watches and accessories, advancing the limits of what wood and steel can achieve.Check out Andrew's Instagram @ajb_11 or @originalgrainSee video of today's interview on YouTube

Corn, also known as maize, is one of the biggest crops in America. It is eaten raw, boiled, steamed, popped, broiled, ground up into flour and even used for fuel. It is a key staple in many diets. It is also a grain domesticated by indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica in prehistoric times. In the book, Beautiful Corn, Anthony Boutard takes a closer look at the history of corn, the botanical composition and the culinary elements which make corn so loved! “Corn is remarkable among the grains because it is used as food from the emergence of the flower buds to the time the kernels are mature. Even among the dry, mature kernels, there is a range of colors, textures, and flavors. No other grain provides such culinary elasticity!” Tune in to this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, as host, June Stoyer talks to Anthony Boutard about the history, cultivation of corn and the culinary uses for corn.
