The company is the leader in providing high quality pressure fryers and branded food service programs for over 65 years. “Broasting” is a unique cooking method developed in 1954 when Broaster's inventor and founder L.A.M. Phalen combined the principles of a pressure cooker and a deep fryer into one commercial cooking appliance. The results – in quality, flavor and cooking speed – were revolutionary.Only restaurants and food service providers that are licensed to use genuine Broaster Company equipment can offer “broasted chicken” on menus. Protecting that trademark and licensing is important to the Broaster Chicken team. In many restaurants, broasted chicken is a champion menu item and sold to restaurants as a featured menu item. Broaster Company has been a global business for as long as the company has been incorporated. The company has a distributor in the Middle East for the past 60 years.  /*! elementor - v3.19.0 - 07-02-2024 */ .elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}QUOTES /*!

His name is Jay Cira and he is the Ceo of broster company Jay say hello and tell us a little bit about yourself. 00:14.42Jay CipraHey, how are you Mike how you doing um, first of all, thanks for the opportunity one whenever I get a chance to spend some time with you. It’s exciting but also the opportunity to talk about broster is great. So thanks for the opportunity and inviting me on your show here. Um. Groster company. So I’ll tell you a little bit about myself I’ve been with grocester company for 19 years now so long time can never imagine that I was going to be part of an organization this long but it’s it’s been awesome and it’s been awesome run and looking forward to another 20 years or so so it’s ah the broster company. Is actually a very interesting company and something that you know you think of a you know small business within the us. You know you think it’s fairly simple but it’s a little bit more complex than a lot of people think and that’s because we do a lot of different things. Um, broster company started back in 1954 when it was first organized and the way we got. Our started is ah there was a gentleman by the name of Lewis Phelan and Lewis Phelan was basically an inventor turned businessman and he worked for companies inventing products such as Monsanto. Good year. He worked as part of the Panama canal project et cetera and some pretty cool things. Um, but back in the 20 s he found himself running the Taylor company I think everybody here probably has heard of the Taylor company. The softa of ice cream machines that you see at most fast food restaurants et cetera. But. 01:37.99vigorbrandingUm, and hope. 01:41.93Jay CipraHe ran that organization for several years and actually from there also started something I want to say it’s like Zesto zestomatic or something like that which is another custard machine but he started that and it ended up turning into a a franchise drive-in so anyways, with that. In 9052 53 he was in the midwest and anybody who’s in knows in the midwest especially Wisconsin Minnesota Iowa Indiana it is supper club country and wherever you go not too many people know about supper clubs anymore. But there’s still are some around. And I tell you I still frequent with them because ah they got great food and talk about comfort food. They got it and a lot of them. There have ah their fish rise and their their fried chicken and while at 1 of these supper clubs Lewis ah decided to come up with his own method and what he did was. You know what we can make a better fried chicken and he took a pressure cooker and an open fryer and in 1953 he patented the first commercial pressure fryer into the us. So that’s kind of where we got our start way back when um, I’m gonna say shortly thereafter. He. I’ll developed his own marining encoding so he had a specific taste profile at the same time I think people may have heard of ah colonel Sanders. He was doing something similar. But yeah and Lewis developed the marinade and codings known as ah chickite marinade and slow bro. 02:58.80vigorbrandingSo. 03:13.83Jay CipraAh, coding which is still used today to make genuine brocery chicken. So that’s kind of where we got our start and you know we’ve been running our business through a couple different ownerships I’ll just state on that real quick. Ah alco standard company owned us and some other food service equipment companies. 03:16.23vigorbrandingVery cool. Nice. 03:33.65Jay CipraAnd then this ownership group. Ah we’ve had it since 1990 1991 yeah 03:38.40vigorbrandingWow! Very cool. So I mean I’m going to back up a little bit because it’s intriguing to me First of all I mean you know we always talk about restaurants or cpg and the combination thereof So yours is is ah is a piece of equipment and it actually kind of. 03:53.66Jay CipraUm, even. 03:54.53vigorbrandingTranscends and kinds of slides around into it’s not a franchise but it kind of becomes a program and we’ll talk about that in a second I want to go back to supper club. So like what’s the difference between a supper club and a restaurant like tell me more I’ve never been to a supper club I’ve heard about them. You know, um what? what is it is it actually a club I mean as crazy as that sounds. 04:10.70Jay CipraWill know it. It is just it is the old school um restaurant in the Midwest and basically it’s ah if you want to go in if you go in hungry, you’re not going to come out hungry. That’s for sure. It’s just an old school restaurant. 04:12.99vigorbrandingAh. 04:16.94vigorbrandingOkay. 04:23.16vigorbrandingGot you. 04:27.42Jay CipraWhite tablecloth restaurant. So back in the day they were the higher end restaurant which has since been replaced by a lot of the different you know che steak place et etc but people would go out there for big celebrations and when they were going to go out in the town and they wanted to have a good dinner. They went to the Supper Club but the thing that’s interesting about the supper clubs in the Midwest is you would walk out there and or sit down and immediately you would have a relish tray which would have everything you would have crackers you would have cheese and then everything you ordered would come with a soup a salad the meal. 05:03.12vigorbrandingWow. 05:03.88Jay CipraAnd a deserve. So and everything was included and it was basically you pay for that and that’s what you get and you basically would look around and all your neighbors would be there for their big meals of the week as well. 05:07.97vigorbrandingHe. 05:15.72vigorbrandingVery cool Next I’m in the Midwest you know how next time I slide into Boyoid I’ll have to find a a supper club. So that’s that that’s ah. 05:19.50Jay CipraWe got 1 right there called the butterfly club and we like to take people there. It’s awesome. Absolutely. 05:25.20vigorbrandingAh, and I assume they they sell broasted chicken of course of course. Excellent. Okay, so you know ah the the other thing that’s really intriguing to me is and and I kid you not like you know, um um um I was a kid I grew up in Hershey Pennsylvania and somehow I knew the broster name I mean. You know there’s there’s baked chicken. There’s fried chicken. There’s but somehow I knew broasted and I mean how did it permeate like how would I know that like you know were restaurants serving it. How did that all kind of come to be. 05:54.51Jay CipraWell, you know it’s interesting and again it all gets its stem from the midwest or I’ll say the ah ah the what do I want to say up upper central part of the US so if you were to take the dakoas over to Ohio go down probably to Kentucky that is where the broster market is. 06:07.84vigorbrandingUm, got you. 06:11.82Jay CipraAnd what’s interesting is we’ve really found is people have moved moved outside of the midwest. That’s how the name spreads and while that is our strongest market that we have um what we see are people start to move outside of the us and that’s where the brand starts to build and the brand recognition starts to build. Actually what’s interesting is we had a partnership with a larger chain restaurant and they were selling and I’ll just jar it. It was called Bob Evans roasted chicken. We did a branding thing and we were in all their stores and what was interesting is they did their studies. 06:41.65vigorbrandingFrom her. 06:51.28Jay CipraThey found that when they had broasted on the menu compared to just Bob Evans chicken on the menu. There was a lot more market recognition and brand recognition and people were going into the restaurants more where they called it broasted so it’s got a name. It’s good. There’s something about that name broster that. 07:03.91vigorbrandingHere. 07:09.70Jay CipraNot everybody can really put. Ah you know, get a handle of what it means or what it stands for but they know it and that’s what drives people to try it. 07:17.90vigorbrandingNow are there are are restaurants using that name now to to to enhance. Ah I mean we see like ah co promos with like say a Jack Daniels chicken or things like different things on menus or you know ribs or whatever you mean are people using roasted as a as a marker and paying for a trademark there. 07:24.31Jay CipraThat. 07:31.46Jay CipraNo absolutely they are using it as a marker and we we like to call that as grocery chicken is a a champion menu item and what a lot of people will do with that is they’ll take a section of the their menu. And they actually describe the cooking processt etc and what it means and then they’ll have whatever meals that they serve there but they will use broster on their menu once like so I’m from you know I live in Chicago land area. Our our companies inloit. But um, you know a lot of people have Vienna beef for hot dogs on their signs in Chicago. 08:02.67vigorbrandingHere. 08:06.45Jay CipraAnd for the same thing at these restaurants and the way we’ve always sold 2 restaurants is this is your champion menu item and it’s worked for people. 08:15.54vigorbrandingAnd it’s Amazing. So I Want to talk about sort of that that brand that Trademark. Ah, it’s a piece of equipment. It’s a broster so we have broasted chicken I can’t really think of ah and maybe I just I can’t think of another brand tied to a machine that is part of like the trademark. So for instance. Ah, we we have you know kettlec cooked Chips. We don’t It’s not ah Trademark Kettle. It’s just they say they’re kettle cook obviously in in food marketing when you have a descriptor with it. It just makes it better I mean you know you know healay and sea salt or whatever you know like it always sounds like it’s Better. So. 08:43.72Jay CipraUm, right. 08:50.60vigorbrandingUm, is there something else out there that that has like ah is like a broster or that we would know that you know you hear a name tied to it. It just seems so unique to me. 08:56.59Jay CipraWell, it’s a little bit different and I want to take a step back here because it broster isn’t tied to the equipment alone. Okay, and like I said when it was a personally when we were you know incorporated 1954 it wasn’t just the equipment. It was the equipment and the marinities and codexs. 09:03.58vigorbrandingOkay. 09:14.84Jay CipraSo Basically what it is is if you want to call yourselves or say that you’re using Broster chicken or serving broster Chicken. It has to have this it starts with the marinades and the coatings actually uses the fryer and then you have to use the process that we dictate. On that to actually call it genuine Brocester Chicken. So It’s not just the fryer you want to call it brocester chicken you have to use our Marin needs our coatdings our equipment and cook to our process then you’re able to call Gender Brocester chicken. 09:34.46vigorbrandingGotcha. 09:43.76vigorbrandingVery cool nice that makes a lot of sense then I know it’s it’s interesting because ah because that name is so like I don’t know it’s almost like Kleenex and people just know it. It’s the the brand is is sort of like the product. 09:53.16Jay CipraUm, yeah. 09:57.45vigorbrandingUm, there’s trademark issues I mean people tried to use your name and I know that you have to track that down sometimes in fact I remember there was a time I was driving in the back waters of New Jersey headed to the beach and I saw this big sign. It said the guy said you know I said broasted chicken. It looked like he was handmade so I reached out to you. And I know you’d looked into it so talk about that the trademark protection process and all that kind of thing. 10:20.11Jay CipraSo You know it’s It’s interesting and it’s It’s actually ah, there’s quite a bit of work there and protecting the Trademark. So We do have something that’s out there and like you said earlier a lot of people know what it they know the name but they’re not really sure what it is. And one of the things we found is people have tried to say that broaster chicken is tied to the pressure fryer as you mentioned earlier not only the brocester pressure dryer but any pressure fryer that’s out there and actuality like I said it’s tied to the marinates. It’s tied to the coatings is tied to the pressure fryer and our equipment. 10:46.11vigorbrandingAnd. 10:51.32Jay CipraSo people out there and actually some of our competitors will even say well you’re using fresh fryer just go ahead and call it broaster chicken. You can’t do that. We have broster broasted Genuine Broster chicken and anything around the name Bros Broaster etc is been trademarked by the broster company. So we own all those trademarks. 11:08.31vigorbrandingMe. 11:10.72Jay CipraSo as people go in and may oh let’s just say ah we’ll we’ll be. We’ll be nice, accidentally use the name or sometimes accidentally on purpose use that name. Um, we’ll hear about it and the interesting thing is originally when I first got in the business I’m like So what are our distributors tell us about it. 11:21.49vigorbrandingAh, yeah. 11:29.98Jay CipraOur operators tell us. But how do we hear? we actually get more call from Consumers. Um, than we do from the actual restaurants and our distributors because they go in and said hey we went in for a genuine broaster chicken and it wasn’t general Roaster Chicken I Want to let you know because you don’t want them using their name. Ah your name. Because it’s not the same quality Chicken. So Our consumers are our biggest ah police for monitoring our bread. 11:56.29vigorbrandingThat’s fantastic. That’s very cool and look. You said it started in the Midwest Wisconsin to to be precise supper clubs all that. But you you have a business that’s actually building outside of that I mean Middle East india can can you talk about that a little bit. 12:07.10Jay CipraUm, yeah, we actually we’ve been international business for global business for as long as barster is is been incorporated so to speak. Um, we have distributors I I shouldn’t say as long but quite a long time. We have distributor in the Middle East um that we’ve been working with for I think the past sixty years and we’ve been working in the Middle East I’m going to say internationally we have a strong market in the international in the Middle East we have a strong market in the Australia market and then we have a very strong market in Canada so those are the 3 marks that are really booming for us right now. 12:40.90vigorbrandingUm. 12:46.51Jay CipraAnd what we’re also seeing is just like the us as they get outside of the central us we’re seeing them as they gets out of those 3 areas they’re starting to grow different markets as people are seeing people want western brands and we give them opportunity to get in like you said before. 12:57.27vigorbrandingHere. 13:03.60Jay CipraAh, with a restaurant brand or something that looks and feels like a franchise but it’s not a franchise and we’re able to get into different food service Menues internationally and as people want this western brand they see genuine broaster chicken and they want it and they want to grab onto it and it’s been working very very well for us. 13:07.16vigorbrandingWho. 13:21.15vigorbrandingVery cool. Well I mean let’s but let’s one with that. So ah, you know we we know about restaurant franchises and franchisees franchisors and you know you have Kentucky fried chicken. You have all these but broster kind of goes about it in a different way. So if I have. A bunch of convenience stores I could I could talk to you about a program isn’t that correct. 13:37.98Jay CipraYes, absolutely so. We sell what we call a licensed trademark program and basically what that means is you can go in if you want to use like I stated early the pressure prior our marinades and codings and cook to our process. We will signed a licensed trademark agreement with you. And you’re able to use that and advertise that um at your facility now what we don’t do anymore is allow people to use broster in their name but we do allow them to use on their menu and say serving genuine broaster chickent etc. But it couldn’t be Michael’s broster chicken ah, ah, for example, but um. 14:06.36vigorbrandingYou. Right? right. 14:15.90Jay CipraYeah, so we sell it as a trademark program. We renew that every year with them and through our distributors we make sure they’re doing it right? And if they’re following the program and they’re serving quality chicken then we continue on with that agreement as long as they would like. 14:30.52vigorbrandingYeah, and you don’t want it in the name because if Mike doesn’t do a good job with the product. All of a sudden it really can affect your brand. Yeah. 14:37.40Jay CipraExactly right? pull in a product and you know we’ve had the situation where people weren’t serving to our quality or you know and and the other side where they weren’t properly using Genuine Brocester chicken where we have talked to them and they’ve pulled it off their website pulled it off their menu etc because. Again, we want our brand represented correctly. 14:55.10vigorbrandingUm, yeah, and and it’s amazing because it obviously is a fantastic product so much so that there’s ah, a really large convenience store that really hangs its hat on its chicken I mean. I’m seeing all kinds of advertising about the quality of their chicken and it’s your product Basically right I mean. 15:09.96Jay CipraYeah, so I wouldn’t say it’s our product but it’s definitely using our our equipment our cooking methodology so to speak. But you know royal farms chicken in the I want to say the Norton I shouldn’t say royal farms chicken but that’s actually how they’re becoming more and more known but royal farms convenience stores. Um, they used to just be in the northeast and basically now they’re going up and down the the eastern coast there but they they’re known for their chicken program and we started working with them I’m just going to say five ten years ago somewhere in there and basically have ah. 15:31.52vigorbrandingE. 15:47.62Jay CipraStarted using our pressure fires and they’re selling more chicken and doing a great job and the partnership that we’ve worked with them and developed with them has been a great partnership because they do serve quality product and as that’s associated with our equipment and what it’s Producing. You know that’s something that we’re we’re proud to stand behind and prior to be partners with people like that now one of the things is we go down this path a little bit. You know as I said before we make our our marinise and coatings we have equipment. Um, we have different food products et cetera. If an opportunity comes up and somebody is serving high quality chicken but they want to use their own recipe so to speak and use their own brand. We do have a strong piece of equipment. We feel. It’s the highest quality pressure out in the marketplace right now. 16:34.16vigorbrandingM. 16:38.83Jay CipraUm, we will partner with those companies while they can’t call it roaster chicken. They can still use our equipment and prepare. For example, Royal Farms chicken. 16:46.44vigorbrandingYeah I mean it’s kind of ah it’s kind of an amazing thing because again, what a great Brand Royal Farms I mean quality product quality stores. Great great ah message and they’re really using your product. Ah, they’re known for your product which is really kind of cool I Just wish you guys could get more halo from the from the. 17:01.42Jay CipraUm, yeah. 17:04.73vigorbrandingThe marketing there because ah you know again, they’re they’re drawing people in with their with their chicken. Um is there is there other products that that I mean I I know that the the machine is not quote unquote pro. It’s ah it. Ah, it’s a pressure friar and it’s a quality product. Is there anything else that you’ve ever heard of people putting in that I’ve I’ve read online of Apple pies. 17:24.22Jay CipraApple pies um breakfast burritos. One of my favorite products. We don’t have it anymore but we used to have ah a frozen food product. What? Ah, there were many cheesecakes all those are outstanding. But if you just talked. You know those are all the healthy items I’ve heard of people ah pressure frying twinkies hot dogs et cetera so you can almost do anything but some of the ones that kind of stand on in my mind are pork chops. Outstanding fish Friday fish fries you’re using pressure fryer all the time ribs ribs. Some ribs are done in the pressure fryer. And being here on a holiday season. 1 of the favorites is ah is turkey. Ah, ah you can’t go wrong with roasted turkey. Um, there is ah there’s definitely a a big call out for you know, looking to get the larger pressure priors that we have and cooking. 18:01.94vigorbranding8 18:16.70Jay CipraYou know up to eighteen twenty pond turkey in there and it turns out phenomenal. 18:20.94vigorbrandingThat’s awesome now. Only in the midwest would you consider ah broster chicken cheesecake and Apple Pie Health food but that’s okay I I respect that I respect I respect that. 18:30.70Jay CipraUm, that’s right look look at me. Ah. 18:34.41vigorbrandingAh, so ribs I know you so you mentioned ribs I know you guys have a smoke Aama Kima Talka it’s another another device another piece of equipment right. 18:43.12Jay CipraYeah, we actually purchased this company back probably about ten years ago and it was started bought the same time broser company was down local homeline. It was a company called smoke aroma and they have ah. Really 2 products and the main product that we are manufacturing and selling right now is called the smoke aroma barbecue boss and it is a pressure smoker and what I liked about this opportunity was it has pretty much the the same functionality as what a pressure firering does. But it’s in ah it but it smokes it smokes products so you could smoke ribs in 45 minutes you can smoke a brisket in 2 hours which normally takes 12 hours and basically it does exactly what the broster pressure friar does is you are but you are using pressure and you’re using the heated had to smoke a product. 19:16.62vigorbrandingYou know. 19:35.76Jay CipraWhich is going to produce a moisture product and cook it in much less time than you would have to be it in an open fire and with the pressure with the chicken or a you know a smoker on the rib side. 19:45.73vigorbrandingNow Will you create another again I Love the whole idea the brosure. It’s It’s like kind of like can create a franchise without franchise fees right? You give people a reason to come to your store or their their restaurant. Whatever and the product’s great. Are you going to do the same thing with smoke aroma is that gonna. 19:53.97Jay CipraMany. 20:04.88vigorbrandingSort of stand on its own or you just slide and slide it in or how’s that going to work. 20:08.46Jay CipraWe we you know that was originally started as an equipment home ah company only and didn’t have a program we have since developed the program for them and that’s called Rock County Smokeouts and we are working with conveence stories I believe we have a couple down in Texas right now. 20:15.35vigorbrandingGreat. 20:25.42Jay CipraThat are using the Rock County Smokehouse name and all the products that we have and we ah had the the rubs and the the different marinates and different things that you can use for the smoke product as well. Um, and use that as a license ratemark program as well. 20:40.47vigorbrandingVery Cool. So what? What do you see as I mean again, we talked about a large convenience store who’s really kind of taken nop pun intended you guys under their wing because you’re you’re promoting their ah I mean they’re promoting their brand through your quality product. Um, what’s what’s what do you see as the future like where where where do you go from here. What’s what’s the the growth opportunity. 20:59.11Jay CipraWell I think the growth opportunity for brosters really focus on Lf Facets of our business Again. We got our start as a program and I still think there’s a there’s a strong opportunity out there for food programs not only in restaurants. So when I say program in a restaurant. Yes, it is a menu item. But it’s kind of you have everything that you need with the broaster name and the broster products to just drop that into your restaurant and you’re going to have a top quality restaurant or top Quality. Ah menu item on your on your menu but food service has expanded so far. Um, that you have convenience stores you have college and universities you have grocery stores, Cetera etc that are looking to put in programs and they’re looking to put in branded programs because it’s something about a a brand that Grabs people’s name. So What were. 21:35.40vigorbrandingMe. 21:51.50Jay CipraYou know one of the main areas of focus is further developing out our programs to truly fit into sea stores grocery stores um college and universities even prisons et cetera different things that we can do to get out there and get out in the food service marketplace and give them an option. The second thing is as we were mentioned before with royal farms we have top quality equipment and our proster proster pressure prior I put against anybody’s out there and so what we’re doing is looking out to and we’re actually I shouldn’t even say looking out people are looking to us. 22:17.91vigorbrandingSee me. 22:28.36Jay CipraFor other options for pressure friers and as they look to us. They see what we do on the program side. They know what our quality of the food that it produces they start looking into it so we are innovating not only from a how to go to market perspective to some of these opportunities but also innovating from our equipment side. And for right now. For example, we we’ve just introduced and we’re putting putting out a new um piece of equipment called the eseries e standing for for efficiency e series twenty four and what that is is. That’s the 8 head pressure frier. Um, but it also has an automatic lift as well as automatic oil management system. So we basically you know in today’s market it’s harder and harder to get labor. So we’re innovating by side and how to reduce some of the labor. So what we’ve done is taken out I mean we used to be able to instill to this day we have somewhere. You drop the chicken in a basket and you have to pick pick the basket out of the oil and then dump the chicken on the side. Well in all cases with the the operational conditions that we have from a people perspective. It’s getting harder and harder to retain people. We’re giving an option where basically you load it on a tray and you push a button. And it goes down into the oil when it’s all done. You push a button that comes out of the oil and all you have to do is pick up those trays and chicken and it’s much easier and faster method for the for the operator. So innovation. Um, and then expanding our our footprint into other food service markets. 24:00.94vigorbrandingThat’s super smart I mean I know like just from personal Experience. We’ve been hired by some of the the world’s largest I’ll say food service ah companies and to your point they want a branded program so they can’t just have a coffee shop on campus they want to have like ah. You know, ah you know petes you know,? whatever Columbian coffee or whatever they they want to brand it to it and experience and what I always found amazing about your product Brand is. It’s already Turnkey I Mean there’s a piece of equipment you buy it. You then? commit quality Product. You have the the seasonings you have the program and you have a name and it’s like like you said franchise without franchise fees. It’s like it’s already known and it’s already going to be a quality product and there’s something that that seems so obvious to me about that that that I really feel has a. 24:37.50Jay CipraYeah. 24:50.63vigorbrandingAh, tremendous opportunity. So it’s ah it’s it’s very exciting so all opportunities I mean like you know we to hear about people. You know you said about some people throw the the turkey and into the pressure friar. Um, do you ever consider you know Thanksgiving was just here people were still like burning their houses down and experimenting with ah. Turkeys and and and hot oil I mean do you ever have ah any thoughts on joining for the home is there ever any kind of consideration making sort of a product that that people might want to bring to their house. 25:19.11Jay CipraI will say we’ve been asked to come up with something but when you’re speaking of 360 degree oil under about £12 of pressure. Yeah, that’s ah, it’s a little bit scary I will be honest I got to share a little secret. Not everybody knows. 25:33.14vigorbrandingAnd. 25:33.58Jay CipraUm, at my house I do have a broaster pressure fryer in our garage I do wheel it outside but it cuts it cooks a mean turkey on the holidays. But yeah, right now we don’t have ah anything for the home use at this point um and a lot of that’s just from the liability perspective is, but. 25:40.76vigorbrandingHow back. 25:48.30vigorbrandingSure. 25:52.80Jay CipraIt sure wouldnt be great I can tell you when I do roll that out of the garage people drive by are placing the orders and I become the ah ah the the chef of the of of the town to produces whatever they want I give me so it’s it’s a lot of fun. 26:00.38vigorbrandingUm. 26:07.65vigorbrandingThat’s fantastic. Well in a way I’m kind of glad you’re not going to make it because my wife personally always ah, whatever, kind of new gadget thing. That’s out there. She buys So I’m gonna have to put an additional my kitchen for all the stuff that we bought and don’t use because we have all these. Sort of things that are supposed to quote unquoteealype your Counter. We don’t enough counter space for all the things that are you know, making stuff. So ah, that’s but that’s probably good news. Well I think that’s the you know it. But it is very cool I guess that that led me to another thought though is ah you know because again I feel like it’s a No- brain or this program. 26:24.42Jay CipraYeah, oh I get it. 26:39.53vigorbrandingIs it is the whole idea of this hot oil pressure cooker is that is that a bit of a hurdle you have to overcome you know, let’s say I have I don’t know maybe I have ah 20 convenience stores. You know I’m not part of the the big chain the national chains I want to put a program in I mean is that ah is that a hurdle for some folks. Do they get nervous about that. 26:55.81Jay CipraYou mean as far as the oil and just the. 26:59.31vigorbrandingYeah, just because it is what it is I mean is it ah is a thing you have to like explain to people because I’m sure I know I’ve seen your products. They’re very safe and and they’re very well manufactured. 27:03.85Jay CipraYeah, yeah I mean to say you know for some of the the smaller operators that are new to food service on the convenience store side. It may be something and maybe a hurdle that they have to get over a bit but once they see us operate once they get their hands on it. 27:12.73vigorbrandingOkay. 27:19.63vigorbrandingUm, evening. Yeah. 27:22.88Jay CipraWe do demonstrations we do tests and evaluations we do different things like that once they get their hands on. It’s extremely safe look at the end of the day if I can operate one anybody can operate one. But no, it’s something you know if they’re not in food service. It could be a hurdle but you know we work with them. We have a. Ah, great team that can really walk them through the process and we have a great training program not only on their site but also in bulllight Wisconsin where we invite in operators. We invite invite in new distributors and we put them through a extensive training class so they can really learn exactly. 27:47.11vigorbrandingHe. 27:58.30Jay CipraNot only how to produce the best product that possible but also how to operate as safe as possible and you know at the end of the day. there’s there’s there’s 1 thing that we’re brought of we’ve never had a situation where anything’s been at the fall of broster and that’s because we build them safe. 28:02.89vigorbrandingVehicle. 28:16.97Jay CipraAnd we build the top quality piece of equipment. 28:17.50vigorbrandingVery cool I mean is there anything else, you’d like to talk like what? what’s your vision for say the next ten years or I mean what are you thinking where what would you like to see happen I mean what where you know where’s your head at what? what are you looking for coming into the new year now what what are you hoping for here. 28:32.25Jay CipraAh, you know I’d like to see proaster everywhere I think you know the the opportunity’s truly out there and we’re talking a little bit about it before is you know how do we take the innovation and and really taking our innovation I should say how but taking our innovation out um in the different areas and really focusing. If. There is a true equipment opportunity. Let’s let’s show them what we’ve developed. We’re proud of what we’ve done since 53 or 54 I should say it’s developed in 53 but like next year seventy years seventy years of groaster is pretty exciting. So as we look into 2024. There’s not a whole lot of ah companies that have been around that long. 28:52.58vigorbrandingAny. 29:02.83vigorbrandingIt is. 29:10.11Jay CipraWe want to get broaster everywhere. We want to continue to expand our footprint into different areas of food service and we want to take the innovation we have from the food, the equipment side and get it in as many kitchens as possible and really just show off roaster. You know one story I Want to share two stories I Want to share is you know. 29:22.40vigorbrandingYeah. 29:28.19Jay Cipra1 of the cool things about roaster you mentioned earlier not a lot of people know exactly what it is that they heard about it. We’ve also had people who basically as people move especially now more and more are starting to move to the Southern States because they want to get on the cold or let’s just say the snowbirds that are going down the Florida. You know they’ll map out their trip and ask where the roaster operators are and that’s where they can go on our operator locator and find that but another one is we just had somebody who was doing a special on a pvf station in which they were going through supper clubs of the Midwest and the person said she had to do Roaster. We said how did you hear about roaster. She goes I grew up on roaster because as a matter of fact, my husband didn’t know what roaster chicken was but that’s what they served at their wedding so we want to continue to build those stories and we want to continue to build the traditions with families. So ah, you know, centered around the broster products. 30:20.30vigorbrandingVery cool all right? So I’ve got 2 questions left very simple I’m always fascinated by ah how often people consume their products so number one how often do you eat broasted chicken or turkey I guess in your case and then the other question is if you had 1 final meal. 30:22.98Jay CipraOkay. 30:34.55vigorbrandingWhat would you eat and where and why and you can’t say Bros did both. 30:37.54Jay CipraWell I’m gonna so I’ll obviously I’ll start with no I won’t say both I’d like to but I won’t but how often do I eat brocester chicken we have a test kitchen. We’re constantly doing different things to either test our equipment or test product. So I’m going to say it’s at least weekly if not more. 30:56.82vigorbrandingThat’s great. 30:56.95Jay CipraI will also say because I’m in the chicken business. Um I do like to taste other people’s chicken just to see what it’s like and so wherever I have the opportunity to stop it and try somebody else’s chicken I definitely will my wife looked at me once and was surprised because we’re at a steak restaurant. And I ordered fried chicken I said he got it test out the competition. So I’ll have it often. But as a matter of fact I just had a piece of chicken broster chicken as I was leaving office yesterday. So I have it quite frequently. Um, as far as my last meal that’s a tough one and I just say it’s a toss up so I’m gonna throw it too. Um, I used to spend a lot of time. My daughter went to northeastern university in Boston and she played ice hockey for their team and while out there I fell in love with 2 restaurants. So I just say there’s 2 places that I would go ones probably would be my you know if it would be my last meal. It would be aben Lewis. 31:35.44vigorbrandingAre. 31:51.83Jay CipraAben louis steak place and I would start with their onion soup. Get a good New York strip and some cream corn to to acompy that. But so there’s also some great restaurants in the north end. But I get just gonna say you know Aben Louis by far is my favorite. 31:52.14vigorbrandingUm, any. 32:07.92vigorbrandingAwesome! Very cool Jay. Thank you so much. The broster story is an awesome one I mean the the challenge is not challenged, but the the goal is just to get the product in people’s mouths because they do. Obviously that’s why people want to copy you. That’s why people talk about you and that’s why people are building their their convenience to our brand around you so that’s congratulations on all the success and 70 years is quite remarkable. So thank you for your time appreciate it. Awesome talk soon. 32:32.92Jay CipraThank you very much like this is great. Thanks again.

On January 9, 1993, 22-year old Gina Marie Neulsein failed to show up for her shift at a Royal Farms convenience store in Baltimore, Maryland. At 19, Gina had a brief affair with married Baltimore City police officer James Allen Kulbicki, which resulted in a pregnancy that Kulbick wanted Gina to terminate. Gina resisted and in September, 1991, gave birth to the couple's son, Michael. In 1992, Gina filed a petition in Baltimore County court seeking support from for their child from Kulbicki, who demanded two paternity tests. A hearing in the case was scheduled for January 13, 1993 and Kulbicki had been ordered to bring a check for approximately $3,000.00 in back child support to that hearing.

This show with Thejus Chakravarthy ranges over a wide variety of topics but along the way we find out about his professional and life experiences in making change in the world. We start with his origins crowning in a cab in Mumbai, India, the ease in which his right shoulder dislocates after a show once upon a time with his hardcore band Lovers and Killers, the joy of Royal Farm (RoFo) fried chicken, and the brilliance of a 'hot now' Krispy Kreme donut. Skipper and Thejus also get into his two books, Brushfire (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rb4cYn4mEMcXxuMApiVZAVRe-aav6lyL/view?usp=sharing) and The Flywheel and The Lever (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EXi1vET4XcgFQp3Nlrjfx-Z4g80Qi4ki/view?usp=sharing) where they get into some of the foundational details, including Henry Ford's creation of the 40 hour workweek, the Stanford prison experiment done by Dr. Philip Zimbardo, Stanley Milgram's experiments on obedience to authority figures, the notion of 'it's always the system', the Ben Franklin effect, Thejus' experience creating an instructional system out of open source technologies, Donella Meadows' essay on leverage points, and Gamergate. See if you can pick out the Seth Godin namedrop. Interesting note about Thejus' previous band — Lovers and Killers, then Caestles, and now Queen Wolf as well as a second band called Infinite Pizza. While he formally left that band about five years ago, they're still making music and he helps with production and occasionally contributes. Here's an audio family tree/playlist: * "An Hour Left of Forever" from Lovers & Killers' 2006 album Tropic of Cancer (YouTube (https://youtu.be/GRSHueeGhUE) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/track/017VkXSXh0xSMHeSEovhx3)) * "William Blake" from Caestles' 2010 album A Treatise of Human Combustion (YouTube (https://youtu.be/_PTS_G0Km6s) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/track/7Hl0Z57U2QTYNeo3eKbviW?si=gUYlELV_SGSTpoGhyd8S5g)) * Infinite Pizza at the Windup Space in Baltimore on July 13, 2014 (YouTube (https://youtu.be/ZlcO41HLTHk)) Queen Wolf (https://queenwolf.bandcamp.com) and Infinite Pizza (https://infinitepizza.bandcamp.com) are both on Bandcamp, if you want to indulge deeper.

Todd Marks is Founder and CEO at Mindgrub, an agency, consultancy, and support company that designs technology for people to transform businesses, creates enterprise mobile apps and web applications, provides digital marketing, and “unlocks human potential.” Winning Inc. 5000's Design/Development Firm of the year five years in a row might suggest that this is a notable tech firm. Yes, but this same company has also won the American Marketing Associations Marketing Excellence Award for Best Branding Campaign. How does this all fit together? A “high school math and computer science teacher” turned technologist, Todd collaborated with friends at his website- and eLearning-focused digital agency in the late-90s. In 2002, he founded Mindgrub as an engineering group writing code: building Flash, HTML, and CSS applications. When Apple released the iPhone in 2007, Todd recognized an important “disruption in technology,” and redirected his efforts to web application development and mobile application fulfillment. Customers soon requested information architecture, leading to larger projects.  Early on, the company ran with agency style, top-down, waterfall project management. Today, it specializes in DevOps/agile product, mobile, and web development; user experience design, testing, and emerging technology utilization; branding, digital and traditional marketing, and application support. It has redefined the meaning of “full-service” agency by reaching back to the very beginning – developing the plan, the strategy and designing the software product and pushing forward to the very end – marketing to make sure the product ends up in the hands of its target customers, and then supporting it. The agency manages the development of a strategic blend of technical projects in parallel with a comprehensive marketing framework. The process? Identify and define application users. Analyze competitors and the market. Conduct stakeholder interviews. Test hypothetical solutions (rapid-prototyping) to build the high-level functionality requirements on the technical side and lower level functionality user stories on the marketing side. Design the software – the information architecture, the product build, the user interface – and then provide the needed support and market the product.  In this interview, Todd discusses the increasingly important role of technology in the marketing world.  In particular, marketing needs automation to effectively manage and move prospects through the customer journey. Todd says COVID took the governor off the business. Today, the virtual workplace means the company can hire excellent talent anywhere – the company has grown from 105 employees at the beginning of the year to 155 with another 30 or 40 contractors.   Todd identifies 7 kinds of business opportunities: Deal Type 1: Go out and get new business Deal Type 2: Change orders to an existing project Deal Type 3: Adding a different service line Deal Type 4: “Support” or upselling (e.g., marketing) Deal Type 5: Adding a second project, same buyer Deal Type 6: Same account, new buyer Deal Type 7: An existing team member goes on long-term retainer  Todd has written and contributed to a number of books including Flash Magic, New Masters of Flash, and Web Design in a Nutshell. He sits on the advisory boards for Loyola University's MBA program, the Maryland Technology Council (MTC) (Chairman of the Board since 2018), and the Northeastern Maryland Tech Council (NMTC). He can be reached at his company's website at: mindgrub.com or on LinkedIn. Transcript Follows: ROB: Welcome to the Marketing Agency Leadership Podcast. I'm your host, Rob Kischuk, and I am joined today by Todd Marks, Founder and CEO of Mindgrub, based in Baltimore, Maryland. Welcome to the podcast, Todd. TODD: Thanks for having me, Rob. ROB: Great to have you here. Why don't you start off by giving us a rundown of Mindgrub and where the business excels? TODD: Absolutely. Mindgrub is an agency, a consultancy, and a support company. We make enterprise mobile apps, web applications, and perform digital marketing, and we excel at unlocking human potential. ROB: Wow. That's a pretty wide range. A lot of people just do the digital marketing part, but you're also, you said, support, and also building applications. Where did you start? Were you doing all of that from Day 1? How did the business evolve? TODD: That's a great question. I really started the business in 2002. I had a startup with some partners in '98-'99, and after September 11th we went our separate ways. In 2002 I founded Mindgrub, and I really focused on Flash application development at the time. It became Flex. I also did some web application development with HTML and CSS. I did that for a number of years; I worked in New York, worked for a Deloitte brand for a little bit, and then in 2008 the iPhone came out. I knew that was a big differentiator. I was working in Chicago at the time. I've kind of glamorized the story, but it was a cold day in Chicago and I got splashed by a cab. Meanwhile, I was going back and forth to Maryland and it was getting warmer and warmer at the time, and I couldn't take the winter in Chicago. The SDK was released in January 2008, and by March I was done going to Chicago. I was also teaching at University of Maryland Baltimore County, teaching instructional technology but working with a lot of technical students on campus. So, I quit my day job, came back to Maryland, holed up in my basement and started making some early mobile apps. We started out as really web application development and mobile application fulfillment, and we did a great job. Engineers. But my clients started to ask, “You do design; can you do a little information architecture?” And I could, so I started to do that as well. Then we found ourselves growing into larger and larger projects, and we evolved from doing a lot of agency style, top-down, waterfall sort of project management to evolving a little bit more into agile. With agile it takes a lot more planning up front, so we found ourselves doing a lot of the strategy and planning, which we call Sprint Zero, but it's really identifying the users of the application, doing some competitor analysis, some market analysis. With those users, we'll do stakeholder interviews, testing, you name it, and we'll inevitably come up with a list of epics, which is the high level functionality they need, and user stories, which is a lower level functionality. From those users, we then design the software, we do that information architecture, we build it, and then we evolved into supporting it. So we have a support team as well, which I mentioned, called Aces. Then finally that full continuum was that we'd market it. We would release software, and a lot of times these enterprise mobile apps we'd put in the store – the clients would say, “We don't have any downloads but it's in the store.” We said, “What marketing did you do?” “Nothing. It's in the store.” “Did you even do optimization for the store?” “No.” Particularly, that store is not optimized. It doesn't necessarily get crawled effectively. There's some dark arts there that you can add some optimization for search engines. But you need landing pages, you need newsletters, you need marketing automation. There's all these additional things. So, we were getting unhappy seeing our clients not successful. We've made apps for Wendy's and Yamahas and Geicos of the world, and they always have tons of downloads. They have millions of people in a database somewhere and they can get hundreds of thousands of downloads. But for our startups that didn't have that marketing automation tool, they don't have a big CRM, they don't have a huge database of prospect users, they have to do marketing. Long story long, we are an end-to-end agency. We do everything from planning, design, development, support, and ongoing marketing. We don't just do it at the agency level, but we also have become a bit of a consultancy as well where we compete against the Accentures and the Deloittes of the world on that kind of channel. I see there's really two camps. There's the Big Four on the agency side, WPP, Omnicom, Dentsu – and the Big Four on the consulting side – Deloitte, Accenture, Booz, and Booz started out as an accounting company and now they're a consulting company. We inevitably play right in between. One of our taglines is that we're a very technical agency, which is our differentiator, and we're an extremely creative consultancy, which is a differentiator. ROB: It's certainly a differentiator, the creativity side. You can imagine there are probably a great number of development shops that – well, a lot of folks can't actually deliver a functioning application. We'll start there. But of those that can, you can see them delivering the application and saying, “Here it is,” and then you get to the customer saying, “What do I do with it? How do I promote it?” But for you to take on that responsibility – it seems like there's quite a shift in responsibility from “I gave you a functioning app” to “I am also accountable for people using it.” Was that a difficult transition to embrace, or was it somehow more natural? TODD: I would say it was a little bit difficult in that we started out as an engineering group, very analytical, writing code. Marketing started out really with advertising and more around the creative marketing – communication planning, branding and identity, visuals. We could always do application visuals, but we never really tackled that advertising piece. But marketing evolved to not just be the visual aspects of marketing, but the technical aspects of marketing. You think about the HubSpots and the Marketos and the Pardots of the world – those have only been around in recent years, and they automate the marketing process. They have APIs, and you can integrate with them and you can pull data and you can set up key performance indicators so that you can create rich dashboards to see how your marketing is performing. You can set up smart lists and you can automatically move people along from one list to another based on their interaction in your software or your marketing products. So, marketing itself has become extremely technical. As a technical company, I saw a lot of advertising and marketing agencies getting left behind because they weren't very technical. So we were able to come in from the technical side, set up the KPIs and the smart lists and the automation, and integrate with the API so that based on user interaction in the app, we can then progress them in the marketing automation software. That was a skill that marketing and advertising agencies didn't have, and the piece we didn't have necessarily was some of that design/advertising creativity. So, we did a couple acquisitions there. We acquired a marketing company that brought communication planning, branding, and identity with them, so we were able to add that competency. Now we're able to do really well on it because we have that full continuum. A lot of times we'll get a customer where we'll come in with a mobile app, but next thing we know, they then want us helping out with their website. They otherwise used a more traditional agency, but they see how technical we are, and creative, and they say, “Can you help with our website? And by the way, we have a kiosk too.” We call that the hat trick. Wendy's, for instance, we designed their mobile app and then we helped design parts of their website. We designed their kiosk. I don't know if you have Royal Farms down there. I don't know if you're more Sheetz or Wawa, but Royal Farms is a pretty big convenience store, and they're also a quick service restaurant with chicken based out of Maryland. Town & Country actually said they were the number one fast food chicken in the world, which is a pretty big accolade. Needless to say, we had a hat trick with them. We designed their mobile app, then we redesigned their kiosk, we've helped with their website. But in that case, they were so confident with our ability that they actually gave us traditional marketing as well. They have a big campaign called the Chicken Palooza campaign, which is billboards and sheets and mugs. We redesigned their chicken icon, which is a classic. So that's a case where we are the end-to-end agency, but we really are end-to-end. We're not just doing their traditional and digital marketing; we're doing their mobile apps, their websites, their loyalty program, integrating with their backend services. And this is all in the vein of marketing, but now there's enterprise application development that is a marketing effort. It's meant to increase sales. It's an app, it's a utility function, but it is also a marketing function. We've gotten good at marketing. ROB: That's interesting. We do not have that chain, but now I'm wishing that we did. It also seems like being in that chair for marketing is helpful to stay top of mind. A lot of times if you talk about a site build or an app build, some people are always working on their app and their site, but some people are much more burst-y about it. They complete an initiative and then they stop. If you were only involved in the technology side, you might not be in the conversation at the right time when they're ready to rebuild. somebody's forgotten, turnover has happened a little bit, that sort of thing. TODD: You're absolutely right. The marketing buyers still consider a mobile app a one-off project, whereas our consulting buyers, they're buying teams for years on end with option years to extend. Where we fill in a nice spot is that we are very technical, but we're extremely creative, so we're able to be that agency of record that can do it all. We'll get large monthly retainers as the agency of record, but within that retainer, it is mobile apps and marketing automation and SEO and banner ads and web micro sites. You name it. It's a very wide mixed variety of stuff that we can do. Whereas to your point, just a mobile shop or just a web shop, if they're just that technical shop, they're considered more of a project fulfillment company and not somebody that you would otherwise give to on a big monthly retainer.  ROB: You've mentioned quite a range of clients. You've mentioned startups and you've certainly mentioned some very enterprise customers. Have you always had that range of client mix? Where did you start out in some of those earlier years? TODD: That's a good question. The first couple clients for Mindgrub were actually large clients because it was myself. I was always able to position myself on bigger jobs and bigger brands and ended up working in New York City and Chicago with big brands for a while. When I started getting some work for the team on the web side, that started really back in 2002 when I founded the company. I always had some independent contractors, some interns, and even though I was in and out of a couple jobs at that point, I always had some freelancing work. And that was just smaller projects in my network, but not my job as the consultant or the day job I worked for, which were these bigger brands. What changed a lot of it is when mobile came out, I'd work with these bigger brands and I jumped ship with all the contracts I had and all these brands and opportunities to go start a business in my basement. I really hung my shingle on mobile. A lot of the marketing I did was mobile, mobile, mobile, “we make mobile apps.” At the time, I also had a product company. I was trying to make a mobile product. I got a lot of exposure to mobile there, so a lot of my network that were the bigger brands were just chomping at the bit to find mobile developers, and they got to me. So on the mobile side, we started working with really big brands. On the web side was a little smaller. Now that we've progressed, we've always actually done more web work than mobile because most mobile apps have a web backend, plus all the individual web work. Fast forward 18 years, mobile always attracted big brands, but web after 18 years also attracted big brands. On the application side, we do a lot with the big brands. On the marketing side, our first acquisition was just over 5 years ago, and we've really grown that team. I'd say our marketing team, when they're just working direct for the client, we've really moved up the chain. But we're a little bit more midmarket. Now, when our mobile and web division nets an enterprise client such as Wendy's or Royal Farms – Wendy's is a little different because we worked with the IT buyer. Even though we did their mobile app and helped design their website and kiosk, we were not necessarily working with the marketing department. They had it together and we were brought in. On Royal Farms, they're a little bit smaller of a business, so therefore we were able to come in on mobile, get the website, get the kiosk, but then they were a small enough company that the same conversations we're having with their head of IT, we're having with their marketing department. Next thing you know, their marketing department is asking us to do some fulfillment, and then it leads into this long-term great relationship where we're fulfilling a lot of aspects from mobile to marketing. So really, to answer that question, the big brands find us because of our differentiators, which happen to be on the technology side, and then they learn that we are good across the board. We are actively trying to push on our marketing side, and I know we just won eight communicator awards and five – some other. I know we're submitting for the Webbies right now. Our marketing team and the creative team, they don't want to be in the shadows anymore. We're winning all these awards, so now we're starting to stand on our own two feet as far as the look and feel. Some of our communications that we're doing, some of the branding that we're doing – these were things that we didn't start with 18 years ago, we really started pushing on 5 or 6 years ago. But because we have the experience working with big brands and they have that trust on the technology side, now we're commanding direct marketing work. For Sylvan, which is a really big online education institution, we did their advertising videos. For ExxonMobil, we did their TV spot. We filmed it, we used Mindgrubbers as actors in it, and there was only I think one or two paid actors that we had for that shoot. We were able to do it all in-house. It's just amazing, some of the things that we're able to do now. I would've never thought I'd be sitting on a TV commercial shoot, which I get to do now, which is super exciting. ROB: That's absolutely fascinating for the variety. One of my advisors was positing to me the other day – his perception was that many businesses, and particularly enterprises, were much more eager to send marketing work to marketing agencies than technology work to technology shops. How do you feel about that suggestion? Do you see truth in it? And is it shifting, if that has been the case? TODD: You said marketing work for marketing agencies and technology work for technology. Did you mean they're more willing to send technology work to marketing companies than they are willing to send marketing work to technology companies? ROB: That they've been more willing to hire a marketing agency while still trying to build a technology capability in-house, and maybe less likely to outsource parts of that. That was the suggestion and perception. How do you see it? TODD: Gotcha. I think you have to look at each buyer, and then when the core IP of the business is. If you had a business that was let's say a law firm, marketing and technology is not anywhere near their wheelhouse, so they would probably subcontract both. But if you're an events company and that events company is more of not a platform play, they're the coordination and they're hosting physical events, and you're a bunch of marketers, you're all about marketing, but you're not a platform event company. So you probably pull your marketing in-house, but at some point you want to go build a platform because now marketing of events is online, and you're not in a good position and Zoom's not cutting it anymore. You would then outsource your technology because you're a marketing core. And even though you're growing and you start to build some products, you still probably at that point would think, “I want to do my marketing in-house.” Let's say you're the opposite. Let's say you're that company that realizes there's disruption in the event space and Zoom isn't cutting it and there's a huge opportunity to recreate that in-person experience. You might go out and build software, and you're not going to be good at marketing, and you're probably not even going to try to do it in-house, or if you do you're going to flail because you're a software company. You build product. So, you should outsource your marketing. I really think it goes back to the buyer and the nature of the work they do and what is core to their IP versus things they should be subbing out. ROB: I can definitely tell you've thought a lot about this, about the buyers, about the organizational structure. As you've grown, how have you thought about helping other people on your team? It seems like you're at a point where you can't be the only one selling, so how have you equipped other people to think about navigating organizations and understanding buyers well? TODD: You got it. I originated pretty much every one of our departments. Now that we're bigger, some of those departments are being created by my other leadership. But sales, I started out, like just about every founder-led company, doing what's called founder sales. I had to sell everything. I started out as an engineer. My first company, I was raised by designers, so I went from growing our engineering department to our design department to our user experience department, accounting, the works. Sales was finally the last department that I had to stand up, and it was founder sales. The first thing I wanted to do was find a second person that could also sell. That individual had to be highly technical, highly creative. They had to be a subject matter expert, and then they had to also be good at business development. Then I was able to supplement helping them with the contracts piece, maybe even giving them some leads that came through our contact form. But at least they could put a solution together and basically sell the work and be personable. As we've advanced, I knew I needed to have a lot more people, so we really focused on process. With any business, it's the product, the process, and the people. We started with the product. We identified what it is we're going to sell. Every year we organized that list of solutions. Some solutions, maybe it wasn't great that year. We decided, let's not push on it next year. Other solutions have been a winner for us, we're doing multimillions in that solution and that market is big, and there's a huge opportunity. Then we'll promote those solutions. Then marketing knows what they're going to be marketing, production knows where they need to do some training, what they need to ramp up. We have solutions. The other thing we have is for every deal, we put together a deal team. Marketing works on the outside of the funnel. They're trying to come up with contacts that could be prospects so those prospects are qualified. In our industry, we're looking at marketing or IT buyers. We have a budget. They probably have some pain points we might be able to identify digitally. But they're qualified contacts. They're making them prospects, they're putting them in Smartlist, they're nurturing them through events, through newsletters. Then our BD team is interacting with these prospects and they're engaging with them. They're having conversations. They're sending personal emails. They're trying to figure out their pain points as well, but is there a solution we can provide to address their pain point? From there, our BD team then, if there is a solution, they then assemble a deal team now. They brought in the lead; they're more than likely going to be the principal manager of that deal. We then bring in a subject matter expert and we bring in a contracts person, and that subject matter expert is either technical or creative or potentially on project management side, depending on where their pain is. If their pain point is in speedy delivery, we need to bring in some project managers to see whether it's feasible given our timelines and resource capacities are the moment. If it's a technical pain point, then we bring in a technical subject matter expert. If it's a creative pain point, we bring in a creative director to really focus on what is the solution. From the solution then, we give them a cost to produce it, a timeline, and a resource plan. Then we close the work, and we've turned our products into a process. Then the thing that is absolutely quintessential is we hire just the best people. We have really good products, really good process, and amazing people, so as a result, we've just been commanding a lot of work. We started the year at about 105, 110. We're 155 employees with about another 30 or 40 contractors. That all started post March. And really, COVID actually took the governor off our business. We had amazing people and process and products, but there were a lot of things that slowed us down. Driving all over the place and meeting clients physically, we spent a lot of time and energy and money on planes, trains, and automobiles. Also employees. We had a big box office in Baltimore. We also have a bar and restaurant that we use as now a food incubator, but it was a tech incubator as well. And we have a new light manufacturing space coming online. But we thought because we have now these different facilities in Baltimore, we had to have people generally in Baltimore. In a pinch we hired a few remote workers, or we'd have a really good talent that moved remotely. But as soon as COVID hit, I said, “That's it, we're just going to be a virtual company; hire people wherever they live.” We're still trying to keep the same time zone and mostly North America, although we're looking at some points in South America now to start growing some of our own employees – but the governor came off. We didn't have to hire in Baltimore anymore, and it was so much easier to hire when you can hire from anywhere. We've got amazing talent, and not having to drive around and see our clients and get in planes, trains, and automobiles – it gave us tons of time back. All of our numbers went up. Our sales increased, our productivity increased. Our initiatives now, believe it or not, our next training is on how to take vacation. Our team members have taken one week less this time per year, so we're actually retraining them on how to take a vacation and how to eliminate burnout because they've just been so stellar. Needless to say, that's how we've done it. We focused on product, process, and people. In our pipeline, it's very, very systematic. It's no longer the founder anymore. Myself, I'm on the BD team. I have a couple other people that do BD, and I am trying to get out there and be an evangelist and network. When I hear of opportunities, I'm constantly growing our engagement directors – that's what our sales team are generally called – to be subject matter experts in a core vertical. And those verticals for us are obvious things in the Baltimore area – health, cyber, government, education – but then some not-so-obvious things for Baltimore. We're really big into retail and ecommerce and hospitality and support a lot of brands there. We're getting into legal and insurance. We're starting to do some financial services. So we're in a number of industries, and I'm trying to grow those salespeople. And then I'm an evangelist. The rest of our BD team, we're routing them deals. They're either coming inbound or from BD efforts. And then one more thing, just to share this amazing – and I'm a teacher; I started out as a high school teacher. I taught at university. What people will find is I'm very apt to share these things I've learned because it's fascinating. I was a technical guy, and I had to learn to build a sales team. But we even identified all our deal types, and we have sales plays. You have your outside team that tries to go out and hunt or farm and get new business development. We call that Deal Type 1. That's a new account and a new buyer. Then Deal Type 2 is typical stuff. A change order. They want more functionality. We teach all of our client services team and our project managers now who work with our clients to look out for Deal Type 2. That's the change order. You'd be surprised; a lot of times they think from leadership, “You scoped this project out. We should just be able to deliver exactly what's in this statement of work without deviation, or shame on us.” That's not true at all. If the project deviates – and it's certainly not agile, because in agile you can deviate as you go – if the project deviates, work with the client. If they need to come up with more budget, or same budget but you want to swap out some requirements, the change order, it's Deal Type 2. Deal Type 3 is adding a different service line. In our case, we do add support at the end of every contract. We go from the initial build to then going into monthly support. That's Deal Type 3. Deal Type 4 is not necessarily support, but upselling to marketing, for instance. Deal Type 5 is a second project. So we're not just adding services and values to that first project, but we're adding a second project to the mix. Same buyer. Deal Type 6 for us is same account but a brand new buyer with that account. Deal Type 7 is an existing team member now getting an ongoing retainer to satisfy all of the needs of the business. We're trying to get everybody up to that Lucky 7 where we're that agency of record, but it's across the board. Everything from mobile through digital. ROB: Congratulations, Todd. It sounds like it's been a heck of a year. We've seen that same thing with that switch to virtual. We definitely made that decision, and we're seeing good access to talent. We're seeing that talent really appreciates when you're willing to commit to being virtual versus where you're asking them, huddled in their home, to think about somebody moving to where you are. I think people need some relief and they need some permission to be in their own place and thrive there. TODD: You got that right. As soon as we realized it was going to be a virtual world, we said, “If you're a producer, you will never ever have to come back to the office from here on out if you don't want to.” We surveyed them, and half want to come back half the time, and then it's like a bell curve from there. But they shouldn't have to. We can work online. We're very data-oriented as a business, and we found we are more efficient. That said, we're also more disconnected from each other. So as soon as we decided that we wanted to be an online company, we knew that we had to really invest in what that meant. We used to invest in climbing walls and game rooms, and we had a virtual reality holodeck in the office. That was some fun bells and whistles, but it wasn't really what makes culture. Our culture is our passion, our creativity, our technology. It's our grit. Those were the things that we had to really reinforce that we still were about online. And then we had some of the bells and whistles too. We had Wellness Week. We're now doing a Games for Giving, where we're essentially donating for every step that an employee does to get them out of their chairs and moving, which is really important. We do yoga lessons, we have adventure club teams where they go on regional hikes. We're really trying to be a full experience for our team members and to really provide an amazing culture, from who we are and our values and our mission all the way through just having some really killer programming. We're having fun with it because it's a disruptive time. That's what I tell people. With Mindgrub, why have I been successful? I did have my family back here in Baltimore. As I mentioned, I was in Chicago. It was cold there, and I wanted to come home. So I had the need. I had, as they say in the book Outliers, more than 10 years' experience and 10,000 hours, so I had the experience. Ultimately, what was successful for Mindgrub was the fact that the iPhone came out in 2008, and that was major disruption. So that really grew us. Right now we are experiencing another boom because it is another period in our lifetimes of major disruption. I've learned to really make the most of it. ROB: Excellent teaching all the way through there, Todd. I love the way you set up and structured these things for us to learn from. When people want to find you and when they want to find Mindgrub, where should they go to connect with you? TODD: They can go, for Mindgrub, directly to mindgrub.com. And certainly I'd love if anybody reaches out to me on LinkedIn. I think that's an amazing channel for business networking and business relationships. As I mentioned, I started out as a teacher, and I love engagement and answering questions. By all means, I am happy to do so on email or LinkedIn. ROB: Excellent. Thank you so much, Todd, for coming on, and congratulations on everything that's going on – the businesses, the growth. There's a lot to learn from here, so thank you for sharing.  TODD: Thank you so much for having me, Rob. ROB: All right, take care. Bye. Thank you for listening.

HR Happy Hour 281 - Live at Oracle HCM World 2017 Host: Steve Boese Guests: Chris Kiessling, Royal Farms; Yamini Namasivayam, SRI International Recorded at Oracle HCM World 2017, Boston, MA This week on a special episode of the HR Happy Hour Show, host Steve Boese reports from Oracle HCM World 2017 in Boston, and interviews two Oracle customers about their HR and HR tech transformations. First, Chris Kiessling from Royal Farms, a midsize chain of convenience stores in the Mid-Atlantic region talked about the challenges and opportunities that come with modernizing HR systems and processes to support their high-volume, high-turnover business, and set up the company for future growth. Then, Steve was joined by Yamini Namasivayam of SRI International, a high-tech firm that operates in a number of specialty domains. SRI too was faced with modernizing an aging set of HR tools - with the fundamental goal of turning HR technology into strategic and business advantage and driving revenue growth. Both these stories were interesting as they help show how HR and HRIT leaders in the real world are generating value from investments in HR technology.  Thanks to Chris and Yamini for joining the show and thanks to Oracle for having the HR Happy Hour Show at HCM World.
