Her products combine stylish, functional design with a strong dedication to environmental and social impact. According to Pallavi, her products appeal to people who care not only about what's on their plates, but what's in their plates. Founded in 2019, the brand delivers elegant yet eco-conscious alternatives to single-use plastic and paper products—everything from plates and bowls to patented straws—designed for both everyday use as well as upscale events. Sold on Amazon, Walmart, Wayfair, and in local markets, Dtocs has captured attention far and wide, earning the prestigious NEXTY Award for Innovation at the Natural Products Expo East and being named a finalist in Shark Tank's audition rounds. According to one article dated May 1, 2024, Dtocs had achieved $1.8 million in cumulative revenue since 2019 and the company reported having sold 10 million palm leaf tableware units at that point in time. Pallavi has also been honored as a 2023 Influential Businesswoman and an AI Innovation Excellence Award recipient, recognized on the INC 250 Female Founders list, and most recently awarded the Clearco 2025 AAPI Ecommerce Excellence Award, which spotlights Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) founders in the e-commerce space. Under her leadership, Dtocs has secured a place in SEED SPOT's Retail Brand Accelerator and has been celebrated by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as a CO‑100 Customer Champion. Dtocs' mission goes beyond sustainability. By sourcing materials from rural India, the company empowers local farmers and artisans—particularly women—while supporting educational and vocational initiatives through partnerships like Anmol Sahara and “Greater Than PDX” in Portland.

Jonathan shared the personal journey that led to founding Llongterm, and how their technology allows AI to retain meaningful context across interactions.

At the heart of its innovation is hypochlorous acid (HOCL), a powerful yet natural disinfectant that Matt Condon, Founder of Emerald Prairie, describes as “nature's disinfectant.” In today's episode, Matt shared how his company is challenging the status quo with products that are effective, safe, and eco-friendly.HOCL isn't new. In fact, it has been around since World War I when it was used to treat soldiers. “It is an incredibly powerful antibacterial disinfectant,” Matt explained. “It would be ubiquitous throughout the country and the world if not for the way the chemical industrial complex evolved.” Emerald Prairie has found a way to scale the production of HOCL, offering a solution that's “made by your body” and safe enough to spray on your hands or even in your mouth.What makes Emerald Prairie stand out isn't just HOCL's effectiveness; it's the company's commitment to transparency and environmental impact. “All of our ingredients are on every label—nothing hidden,” Matt said. He added that the products not only avoid harming the environment but actually benefit it. “The best thing that can happen to hypochlorous acid is it gets to the water system because it kills the biofilm.”Emerald Prairie's business is thriving. The company has seen a surge in subscriptions, which Matt described as resembling the “proverbial hockey stick.” This growth, he believes, reflects customer trust and satisfaction. Emerald Prairie's solutions are produced in Kansas, reflecting the company's commitment to local manufacturing.To scale its impact and reach, Emerald Prairie is raising capital via a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder. This approach aligns with Matt's mission to connect directly with customers and investors who share his vision.Emerald Prairie isn't just selling safe cleaning products; it's starting a movement. By replacing toxic chemicals with solutions that are safe for families and the environment, Matt and his team are proving that you don't have to compromise safety for effectiveness. This is your chance to join a revolution in home care—by supporting Emerald Prairie, you can help make the world a cleaner, safer place.tl;dr:Matt Condon explained how Emerald Prairie's products use hypochlorous acid to deliver safe, effective cleaning.The company's all-natural solutions are environmentally beneficial, improving ecosystems instead of harming them.Emerald Prairie is scaling operations with local production and growing customer subscriptions rapidly.Matt revealed his passion for building purpose-driven ventures that align with his values and mission.The company is raising funds via regulated crowdfunding, inviting supporters to invest in its growth.How to Develop Turning Passion Into Purpose As a SuperpowerMatt Condon's superpower is his ability to transform passion into purpose-driven business ventures. He explained, “I've been so fortunate in my career to go through…efforts where I wasn't really focused on the sales revenue as much as doing something…that the world needed.” This approach, he shared, reflects a belief that “capitalism is the most powerful engine of good in the world.” For Matt, success comes from aligning his passions with businesses that create meaningful impact while maintaining financial viability.Matt shared how his passion for solving real-world problems led him to create a network of clinics providing top-tier healthcare to workers like farmers, firefighters, and police officers. Drawing inspiration from his roots in a farming community, Matt realized that the quality of care available to professional athletes could and should be extended to laborers. He built clinics that offered advanced healthcare solutions, improving outcomes for countless individuals in physically demanding jobs. This venture not only succeeded financially but also changed lives, exemplifying how passion-driven businesses can create profound impact.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Identify Problems You're Passionate About Solving: Focus on challenges that resonate with your values and experiences.Take Calculated Risks: Embrace risk as part of the journey to create meaningful impact.Build Around a Mission: Ensure your business aligns with a core purpose beyond profitability.Engage Support Systems: Surround yourself with people who believe in your vision and can provide encouragement.Stay Focused Amid Noise: Cut out distractions to concentrate on what truly matters.By following Matt's example and advice, you can make turning passion into purpose a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileMatthew (Matt) Condon (he/him):Founder, Emerald Prairie HealthAbout Emerald Prairie Health: At Emerald Prairie Health, our mission began with a discovery—not of a new chemistry, but of how to finally unlock one that scientists have trusted for over a century. Despite its unmatched safety and proven performance, this powerful solution was kept on the sidelines—overlooked or suppressed by chemical giants who saw HOCl as a threat to their legacy products. We saw something different at EPH. Using our proprietary water purification process, we developed a way to produce this chemistry in its purest, most stable, and effective form—and bring it to market at scale. Today, we're helping families protect their loved ones and lead the next generation of wellness—through cleaner, safer, and more sustainable alternatives for home and body.Website: emeraldprairiehome.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/emeraldprairiehomeBiographical Information: Matthew J. Condon is a nationally recognized healthcare entrepreneur, thought leader, and advocate for transparency and innovation in the healthcare system. As the Founder and former CEO of Bardavon Health Innovations—a leading healthcare data analytics company transforming Workers' Compensation—Matt combined his deep industry insight with a passion for disrupting outdated care models. Prior to Bardavon, he founded ARC Physical Therapy+ in 2003, growing it into one of the Midwest's largest PT networks with over 100,000 annual patient visits. In June 2024, Matt stepped down as CEO of Bardavon and began his transition into founding Emerald Prairie Health, a consumer health company delivering safe, science-backed alternatives for home and body care. He was the youngest Chair in the 120+ year history of the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and has been honored as a regional Ernst & Young “Entrepreneur of the Year” finalist, named to Ingram's “40 Under 40” and “Rainmakers” lists, and featured on the Kansas City Business Journal's “Power 100” list of the region's most influential business leaders.X/Twitter Handle: @theMattCondon Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/matthew-condon-86905412Instagram Handle: @mcondon0730Support Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Andy Ruben is the Founder and Executive Chairman of Trove, a re-commerce technology company that powers branded resale programs for major labels like Patagonia, Lululemon, REI, and Levi's. Before Trove, he spent a decade at Walmart as the company's first Chief Sustainability Officer, where he launched global sustainability efforts, led omnichannel and private-brand strategies, and integrated e‑commerce — including the rollout of grocery delivery. Ruben founded Trove (originally Yerdle) in 2012 and introduced the first branded resale platform with Patagonia's Worn Wear in 2017, helping advance the circular economy across more than 150 global brands. He advises BCG and Earthshot Ventures, serves as Lead Independent Director and ESG Committee Chair at Zevia, and has been featured on NPR, TED, and testified before Congress on sustainable business practices. In this episode… Most brands sell products once and lose the customer until their next full-price purchase — often years later. In today's economy, that leaves businesses vulnerable to rising acquisition costs, volatile supply chains, and growing consumer demand for sustainability. So, how can companies reclaim the value of their products, strengthen customer relationships, and stay competitive in the circular economy? Andy Ruben, a sustainability expert and retail pioneer, shares how brands can tap into the hidden inventory in customers' closets by implementing buy-back and resale systems. He explains how branded resale builds loyalty and trust, reduces acquisition costs, and attracts new customers. He emphasizes the importance of starting small, using technology to streamline trade-ins, and designing programs that reinforce the brand's core values. Andy also reflects on his entrepreneurial journey, including hard-earned lessons about building a startup, pivoting business models, and executing founder-led sales in the early stages. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz interviews Andy Ruben, Founder and Executive Chairman of Trove, about transforming retail through branded resale and the circular economy. Andy shares his startup origin story, the evolution from peer-to-peer to B2B, and insights on customer retention. He also discusses business development missteps, his leadership experience at Walmart, and why speed and focus matter most when launching a new venture.
