Doug Evans is the founder and CEO of The Sprouting Company, an early pioneer in the natural foods industry, former paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, and author of the national bestseller The Sprout Book. From building a multimillion-dollar graphic design firm in his early 20s to exiting Organic Avenue in an eight-figure deal, to raising $120M for Juicero—and losing it all publicly—Doug's entrepreneurial journey has been anything but linear. Now, he's on a mission to revolutionize home food production by teaching people how to grow ultra-nutritious sprouts right on their kitchen counter. On this episode we talk about: Why being willing to do what nobody else wants to do creates opportunity Charging what you're actually worth—and how one $25K invoice changed everything The hard lessons of raising venture capital and losing control of your company Turning public failure (Juicero) into personal reinvention Why sprouts may be the most underrated business (and health) opportunity of the decade The discipline required to override laziness, addiction, and self-sabotage Top 3 Takeaways Value your time—and price accordingly. Doug went from charging $200/hour to confidently asking for $25,000 for a single engagement. That shift in self-perception changed his earning ceiling overnight. VC money comes with strings. Raising $120M for Juicero created scale—but also invited control shifts that ultimately pushed Doug out of his own company. Solve your own problem first. The Sprouting Company was born from Doug asking, “What will I eat in the desert?” The best businesses often start as deeply personal solutions. Notable Quotes “If you're willing to do what nobody else wants to do, you'll get the opportunity.” “You can have anything you want—if you're willing to do the work and be patient.” “Something as small as a seed can grow into a multibillion-dollar company.” “Money is there to be made—but you have to create value first.” Doug's Entrepreneurial Timeline (The Good, The Bad, The Ugly) Built a multimillion-dollar graphic design company in his early 20s Walked away from a bad partnership to protect his freedom Scaled Organic Avenue to 10 NYC stores and achieved an eight-figure exit Founded Juicero, raised $120M+ from top-tier investors—and experienced a high-profile shutdown Reinvented himself in Wonder Valley and launched The Sprouting Company, now generating millions in revenue Connect with Doug Evans: Instagram: @dougevans LinkedIn: Doug Evans Company: The Sprouting Company Book: The Sprout Book Travis Makes Money is made possible by HighLevel – the all-in-one sales & marketing platform built for agencies.

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!What does it take for a family photo lab to thrive across three generations and multiple technology upheavals? We sit down with David Buchbinder of Alkit to trace an unvarnished journey from New York City retail counters to a lean, volume-first lab that ships in three days. Buchbinder walks us through the hard calls: expanding into Kodak-branded stores, then cutting overhead and rebuilding around photo printing workflowPrints are steady, but specialty items—buttons, magnets, acrylic blocks, framed and mounted prints, canvas wraps—drive bigger carts when studios use modern platforms to reach parents by text and email. Buchbinder explains why Alkit refused to build proprietary software and instead partnered with GotPhoto, PhotoDay, and Captura, keeping focus on color, quality, and fulfillment while ensuring one-stop support. That choice unlocked direct-to-home ordering, faster cycles, and less friction for photographers juggling schools, sports, dance, cheer, and preschool.Buchbinder also shares a pragmatic take on technology. The lab remains a silver-halide shop on Noritsu lines for quality and throughput, yet stands ready to pivot when the time is right. Meanwhile, the promise stays the same: everything produced in-house in Long Island and shipped withiPhoto Imaging CONNECTThe Photo Imaging CONNECT conference, March 1-2, 2026, at the RIO Hotel and Resort in Las Vegas, NSmart AI Business & Tax Moves: Think Like Kenner French & VastSolutionsGroup.comSmart AI, business & tax strategies with Kenner French.

In this episode, we're kicking off a short series all about pivoting, evolving, and exploring new creative seasons as a photographer. It's so easy to stay siloed inside the same family photography conversations, hearing the same strategies and the same voices. But there is so much to learn from photographers who step outside the familiar and build something new. Today's guest—Nicole Hodgson—is the perfect guest to kick it off. Nicole is a former marriage and family therapist turned lifestyle brand photographer based in Northern California. She began her business photographing families, but over time, her sessions started filling with women who were also building businesses of their own. That pattern nudged her toward a new direction, and eventually, a full pivot into brand photography. In this warm and candid conversation, we talk about: The early signs that her niche was shifting The first steps she took to bring a new direction to life The identity work behind rebuilding a business from the ground up The honest pros and cons of family photography How her past career shaped her perspective as an artist and entrepreneur The confidence it takes to be the face of your brand The power of journaling for capturing new ideas and having confidence with executing on them Nicole shares her approach to a new pricing model for brands vs what made sense for her family clients and the financial logic behind marketing to brands versus families—an incredibly helpful lens for anyone curious about expanding their services. Whether you're considering brand photography, navigating your own pivot, or just wondering what else is possible in this industry, this episode is a reminder that your identity, your opportunities, and your creativity are bigger than any niche. // LINKS MENTIONED // Rebrand with Maddie Peshong: https://www.maddiepeschong.com/brand-photography Episode 18: The benefits of being an introverted photographer switching careers, shooting multiple genres, and more with Caitlin Alohilani Free Resources for Family Photography Education: https://www.leahoconnell.com/learn // CONNECT // Nicole Hodgson Website: www.nicolehodgsonphotography.com Instagram: @nicolehodgson.photography Leah O'Connell Website: https://www.leahoconnell.com Instagram: @leahoconnell.photo

"Regardless of what's happening with kind of the ESG backlash conversation here, especially in the US, our other jurisdictions are coming hard and fast on regulatory…It doesn't matter what's happening in the broader ESG backlash …The other piece is, our corporate customers that have their own set of goals and expectations have absolutely not led up on us on wanting to see us continue to progress and move forward and drive change and help them drive change, because that is their expectation of us as a large scale supplier."

And so kind of the first thing is open the aperture and have lots of conversations with a lot of different kinds of groups. …Shadow, (ask) do you need help with that project?

Most independent agencies lack a compelling story, have no true specialization, and fight to be seen as anything more than a commodity that can be replaced by a cheaper quote. It's a constant struggle to prove your value in a crowded market where trust is everything.But what if your agency's unique story was your greatest asset? My guest, Andor Tobelem from Miami Insurance Brokers, joins me on The Broker's Voice to share the game plan his family agency used to thrive. We get into their incredible journey from Venezuela to Miami, how they built a powerful brand by specializing in the international market, and why their goal is to be on every client's "speed dial" next to their lawyer and doctor. This is a lesson in how to build an agency that is impossible to forget and even harder to replace.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

Sugar is everywhere in the western diet, blamed for epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and other modern maladies. Our addiction to sweetness has a long and unsavory history. Over the past five hundred years, sugar has shaped empires, made fortunes for a few, and brought misery for millions of workers both enslaved and free. How did sugar become a defining modern food and an essential global commodity? In Unrefined: How Capitalism Reinvented Sugar (U Chicago Press, 2025), Dr. David Singerman recasts our thinking about this crucial substance in the history of capitalism. Before the nineteenth century, sugar's value depended on natural qualities: its color, its taste, where it was grown, and who had made it. But beginning around 1850, a combination of plantation owners, industrialists, and scientists set out to redefine sugar itself. Deploying the tools and rhetoric of science, they transformed not just how sugar was produced or traded but even how people thought about it. By changing sugar into a pure chemical object, these forces stripped power from workers and enabled—and obscured—new kinds of fraud, corruption, and monopoly. Taking us to unexplored spaces in the world of sugar, from laboratories and docks to refineries and the halls of Congress, Dr. Singerman illuminates dark intersections of the histories of corruption, science, and capitalism. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars. You can find Miranda's interviews on New Books with Miranda Melcher, wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Mike Gulla, CEO of Adaptive Insurance, whose team is redefining what it means to be resilient in an era of climate uncertainty and operational volatility. We'll explore why now is the time for parametric and adaptive insurance, what inspired the creation of Adaptive, and how emerging technologies like AI, big data, and cloud computing are transforming the insurance landscape. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mike started Adaptive in early 2024 to help businesses build financial resilience against climate change, using parametric-style products and unique data assets. Starting a business comes with many challenges – revenue planning, product selection, and insurance. Our focus is helping owners understand how environmental factors like extreme weather or business interruptions could impact them over time. Power outages show that even with backup systems, grid failures can cause major disruptions – from dark streets to reduced customer traffic. As climate shifts, populations are moving into areas with new weather risks. My focus is on creating innovative insurance products that turn these challenges into opportunities for good BEST MOMENTS ‘The consumer needs knowledge to understand what the things are that are ultimately going to impact their business.' ‘Speed is huge, which is why we use parametric products, a business owner needs to be able to make a decision very quickly after an event occurs. When you combine knowledge with speed it helps them make a better decision for their business.' The insurance industry has suffered from how fast things have changed.' ‘Parametric insurance products are similar to streaming services in that they allow the consumer a new opportunity to have access to a different type of coverage that specifically focusses on something that might impact their business.' ABOUT THE GUESTS Mike Gulla, CEO and Co-Founder of Adaptive Insurance, has over 20 years of experience in the insurance industry and is passionate about transforming how insurance works by leveraging technology and innovative strategies. His career is marked by a commitment to making insurance more adaptive, efficient, and customer focused. Mike's leadership at Adaptive Insurance reflects his vision for a smarter, more responsive industry—one that meets the evolving needs of clients in a rapidly changing world. Known for his forward-thinking approach and dedication to excellence, Mike continues to inspire teams and drive meaningful change across the insurance landscape.
