In recent years, Ruggable's machine washable rugs have become a bona fide hit product, but the company is anything but an overnight success. Founder Jeneva Bell's story is an agonizing tale of false starts, setbacks and roadblocks—it took almost a decade of effort to get Ruggable off the ground. Today the company employs hundreds across three factories, and drops regular collaborations with top designers like Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Jonathan Adler and Justina Blakeney. On this episode of the podcast Bell tells host Dennis Scully about how she found the resilience to get through hard times, why reading memoirs beats looking at social media, and why there's more to success than just hard work.This episode is sponsored by Four Hands and SuryaLINKSRuggableDennis ScullyBusiness of Home

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
It's Friday! As we close out the week, we're covering a push by VW workers to join the UAW, how dealers are choosing pessimism, and the buzz about peach fuzz.Show Notes with links:Crossing a notable benchmark, the UAW has crossed the 30% support threshold at Volkswagen's Chattanooga facility, signaling a major shift in its organizing efforts.Now that they've reached 30%, those who signed the cards will become more public to gain more support. If they reach 70%, it will trigger a vote. And don't be surprised if you see Shawn Fein show up. This progress is part of a larger push by the UAW to unionize 13 non-union U.S. plants, targeting nearly 150,000 employees across various automakers, including Tesla and Toyota.Volkswagen's Chattanooga plant has a history of narrow votes against UAW in 2014 and 2019, amidst strong opposition from local lawmakers.After the campaign, VW told employees, “We prefer to continue our direct relationship with you, working together as one team,” the New York Times reported at the time."Times have changed and our time is now," the UAW stated in a new video, highlighting their recent successes and motivating workers towards unionization.Cox Automotive's Q4 Dealer Sentiment Index reveals a growing pessimism among auto dealers, as they face a comedown from previously favorable market conditions.Franchised dealers expressed the worst market sentiment since the second quarter of 2020, with a current market rating of 49, reflecting a shift from heightened profitability to more normal conditions.The survey, including responses from 561 franchised and 475 independent dealers, indicates a significant decline in optimism, with a more pessimistic outlook for the upcoming quarter than the current one.Key challenges identified by dealers include high interest rates, economic concerns, and market conditions, with a notable shift away from previous inventory issues.From the AutoNews article: But Cox doesn't think a threat looms on the horizon. Instead, Smoke said it attributes the negative sentiment to "moving away from the best years" in dealer history. Sales won't be an issue. Dealers are lamenting being squeezed on pricing and profitability.Pantone has announced "Peach Fuzz" as its 2024 Color of the Year, symbolizing comfort, kindness, and tenderness, in contrast to the turmoil of recent years.The color marks Pantone's 25th anniversary of its Color of the Year program, which began in 1999.Collaborations include products like Motorola phones and Ruggable home items in Peach Fuzz shades.Pantone's choice reflects a year-long market study, finding peach tones in fashion, cosmetics, and home decor.Laurie Pressman of the Pantone Color Institute emphasizes the color's role in offering solace: "It's things that we're looking for that color can hope to answer."Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

Then it's your time to shine! Head on over to the reviews, leave Kelly and Lizz five stars, and let them know what you love about the show! In today's driveway dumps, Kelly and Lizz lament the decline of comfort shows and suggest giving Schitt's Creek a chance. The gals are loving the Beckham documentary and are all about the power of a documentary to rebrand a celebrity. Lizz is loving the drama sans romance on Surviving Paradise and Kelly's almost done reading the Four-Hour Work Week. “That goes dummy hard” is today's millennial word meaning exemplary or high quality. This one might be good to know, but Kelly can't imagine using it anytime soon. Kelly's waiting for Boden Black Friday deals and Lizz has her eye on Ruggable rugs. But…when do the good deals actually arrive? No one knows. In the meantime, Lizz is upping her silicone mold game and made a skims haul, Kelly ordered a muted camo vest and Kizik shoes for George, and both placed orders at Express. You've probably seen caraway cookware pop up on your Instagram at some point because their kitchenware is so aesthetically pleasing.

In industry news, Kelly has the flip side of last week's report: the worst resale value cars. Unsurprisingly, luxury Maseratis and BMWs top the list. The 2025 Ram 1500 is reinventing the wheel with a generator for towing, and Lizz has opinions about it. A real life Carpool mom who owns a F150 Lightning writes in with her real experience and real cost numbers. ‘Jen' is in her single mom era and looking for a ‘hot mom' car on today's advice segment. Kelly recommends the Toyota Four-Runner, BMWX3, and Atlas Cross Sport. Emma writes in with today's ditch the drive-through, pizza casserole. Cut up a roll of pillsbury biscuits and top with a mixture of a 14 oz jar of marinara and your meat of choice. Cover with mozzarella cheese and bake at 375 for 25 to 30 minutes. → To share your ditch the drive-through recipe with us, call (959) CAR-POOL and leave us a message! → Do you have a story to share about your little one who was gone too soon?

I've recently had an influx of clients feeling frustrated that their business tasks are not getting done and their business is failing to move forward because of it. More often than not I am finding that it is not a matter of ill-fitting employees but rather a lack of accountability. This week's episode 88 of Female Founders Breaking Boundaries is about why stuff is not getting done!Have you ever felt like you were WAY too busy, stressed out, burnt out, and overwhelmed, so you were advised to delegate some tasks to take things off your plate and free up some time? Except, maybe it didn't work. If getting out of the day-to-day in your business was as simple as hiring more people, then why are you still feeling overwhelmed and burned out? You are not alone! Sometimes, simply delegating tasks doesn't work and instead shifts your workload from “doing” to “managing.”I invite you to use the exercise that our own C-Suite clients use to take the first step in turning your team into a well-oiled, self-managed machine- and get you out of the delegation catch-22. Download the exercise here to get started!In this episode of Female Founders Breaking Boundaries, I'm sharing the importance of setting up systems of accountability within your business and actionable steps you can take right now to get your team members on the same page and contributing to the growth of the business. Some of the things I cover in this episode are:Celebrating Jeneva Bell, founder of Ruggable for changing the game and providing a solution for your rugs to clean easier and last longer. Using the accountability chart to assign responsibility to the major functions of the business. Scheduling quarterly meetings to map out where you want the business to go and how everyone can work together to get it there. Implementing weekly leadership meetings to check the progression of goals and identify potential obstacles standing in the way. My thoughts on making sacrifices the sacrifice of our lives in order to get to the top. Thanks for listening! Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of tools, advice, resources, support, and encouragement that resonates with the modern businesswoman and to hear even more about the points outlined above.If you enjoyed this episode, take a screenshot of the episode to share and tag me!

They're like, ‘oh no we've already figured out what your tech stack is going to look like.' And this is months before we signed a contract.

What's the secret behind the runaway success of Dr. Squach, Manscapped, William Painter, Ruggable, Lume, and more? Product design that people love is part of it.They also leveraged FANTASTIC creatives. They didn't just create ads that converted; they had ads that viewers loved. This allowed for scaling. They entered the rare space of being able to scale profitably to 10 million, 20 million, several hundred million views - profitably. Dr. Squatch rode the wave of incredible creatives from a $3 million annual run rate to hundreds of millions in yearly sales. How did they do it? They tapped into Raindrop's creative genius and its CEO Jacques Spitzer. Raindrop is one of my favorite creative shops and the creators of the videos for brands listed above, plus Native (also an OMG Client), Worx, Happy Egg, and more. Here's a look at what we cover in the episode: Why you shouldn't start a video project by deciding what YOU want to say. Follow Jacques advice instead. How you're likely assuming way more attention than your prospects are giving. How ads that scale can completely change the game. What people are really buying when they buy your product. Do shoppers actually care about your why? What branded performance creative is and why it makes scale and brand lift so much easier.

How many times have your rugs been stained with wine or food or they are just dirty.What about pets peeing or pooping on the rug? It is probable that it has happened to all of us seeing that there are approximately 160 million dogs and cats in the United States. This is where a company called Ruggable comes into play. What they have over other r ugs is that they are washable. They have a thin carpet layer made of mainly polyester with a rubber mat underneath.From our research and own experience, these rugs are easy to install and they don't shift. When it comes to washing them, 3' X 5' and 5' x 7' rugs fit into the washer nicely. If you have a larger size they can fit depending on the load capacity.In terms of cost, they are comparable to Target and World Market; we paid $338 for ours. In terms of how they feel you will not get a plush, padded option, so try plush or shag-style rugs if that is your preference. As for the environmental impact, these rugs are made from polyester meaning that they derive from petroleum, so this is not an eco-choice. On the other hand, if you can reduce the amount of rugs that you have to replace over time, then less material reduces the overall carbon footprint.The bottom line is that these rugs have been a long awaited choice that will save you money over time. There's nothing like coming home from a long day or trip to find that your dog left a special present for you.Website:https://www.somethingonmymind.net/Social Media https://www.instagram.com/somm.podcast/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChec5qcZBcGkIhUU3belNDwhttps://www.tiktok.com/@somm.podcast?lang=enhttps://www.facebook.com/somm.podcasthttps://twitter.com/Somm_podcast

The Bad Girls of TSHE are back to share some of their experiences living in proximity to others. Some of our neighbors were great, and some were…less great. The discussion includes the liberal use of “spying windows,” the neighborhood DJ, a couple who wasn’t “grossly canoodling,” a Jesus shrine, Mr. Sensitive, and literal scorched earth. Plus, Ann’s gearing up for Christmas, Hillary has a social scenario where even she feels uncomfortable, Christy’s a jinny pig, and Meredith is feeling a bit frazzled.

On today's show we're connecting with Kim Kuhteubl, the author of Branding + Interior Design. But when we say connect, we mean our minds were blown! We went deeper than just branding; we talked about developing our self-worth and defining our value for our clients. If we don't show up as our true selves, we won't attract our dream clients.

We sometimes feel so compelled to sell ourselves as organized business professionals that we lose the magic of design. We have to stop measuring ourselves against what someone else's success looks like in our industry Kim encouraged designers to be authentically themselves. She also loves attending conferences that aren't immediately related to your industry, she was inspired by the California Women's Conference. She has become obsessed with Ruggable. She couldn't decide between living on the set of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel or the set of Friends.
