Joseph Woodbury had his future planned out. With a prestigious job lined up at Bain & Company after college, he was on the fast track to a secure, high-paying career. That all changed when his co-founder came to him with a simple yet groundbreaking idea born from a personal frustration: Why pay a fortune for a commercial storage unit miles away when there are empty garages, sheds, and driveways in every neighborhood? Joseph decided to turn down his corporate job and risk it all on this new venture, a choice that would lead to the creation of a revolutionary platform in the sharing economy.That simple idea evolved into Neighbor.com, the "Airbnb of self-storage," a tech startup that has now expanded to all 50 states. The platform connects people who need storage with those who have extra space, creating a powerful stream of passive income for hosts. From the average homeowner earning thousands a year by renting out an empty garage to a middle school teacher making an extra $30,000 annually from her loft, Neighbor.com is turning underutilized property into a cash-flowing asset. Some hosts are even scaling their operations into seven-figure earnings, proving that your unused space holds incredible financial potential.In this episode, Joseph Woodbury joins Ryan Atkinson to break down the business growth model that's disrupting the $40 billion storage industry. Listen in to discover how to audit your own home for profitable spaces, the secrets to building a successful marketplace from scratch, and the strategies to generate thousands in truly passive income. If you're looking for your next entrepreneurship idea or a new way to build wealth, this interview will show you how to find opportunities right in your own backyard.Takeaways:- The company was founded after a co-founder's poor experience with traditional storage, inspiring Joseph Woodberry to turn down a prestigious corporate job at Bain & Company to launch the startup from college.- As the "Airbnb of self-storage," the platform enables hosts to earn truly passive income by renting out their unused space, requiring only about 30 minutes of management per month on average.- Hosts can generate substantial revenue, with earnings ranging from thousands of dollars annually for a simple driveway to over $120,000 a year for those who optimize larger properties.- The platform allows for the monetization of almost any space imaginable, from residential garages and lots to larger commercial properties and even the parking lots of churches.- Neighbor.com builds trust by being a safer alternative to traditional facilities—with much lower break-in rates in residential areas—and by backing it up with a $1M host guarantee and up to $50k in renter protection.- A constant focus for the business is solving the "chicken-and-egg problem" of acquiring enough local hosts (supply) to satisfy the demand from renters in every new market. - Joseph's key advice is to build a business around a problem you are passionate about, viewing the startup journey itself as an invaluable experience that makes you more hirable, not less.- A key feature is the "Smart Pricing" tool, which uses machine learning to automatically adjust listing prices to help hosts maximize their income with minimal effort.- The company's growth was accelerated by the cultural shift created by pioneers like Airbnb and Uber, which made consumers comfortable with peer-to-peer business models.- Despite being active in all 50 states, the company's biggest remaining obstacle to future growth is widespread brand awareness, which takes years of word-of-mouth to build.Tags: Tech Startup, Tech Ventures, Entrepreneurship, Passive Income, Business Growth, Neighbor.comResources:Start Your Business Today: links.upflip.com/43YNzum Connect with Joseph : https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephwoodbury

Ryan has a cool trip planned with friends on the Aquarius Trail hut to hut next week. 6 days in Southwest Utah with Nebraska friends and no logistics work required.June retail sales PeopleforBikesBright spot is inventory stabilizing across the channelI'm joining a PeopleForBikes webinar later this month to discussJune is typically the high point for sales, but this year the month was very soft. Bike shops were -11% in total sales dollars for the monthBicycle sales -13% and unit sales were -17%Higher unit prices and shift toward more expensive electric bikesBike prices are still falling, but not at the same rate as unit sales. 29” wheel mountain and most road categories are showing some of the best price stability - likely a reflection of returning category health and new product releases. Bicycle repairs are an essential revenue source for shops. June saw the highest YOY increase in bike shop service/repair dollars since 2020, but that's paired with the lowest number of service orders in eight years. While service departments are bringing in increased revenue, there's a bit of caution mixed in as fewer bikes are likely being worked on. Chart in the email tells a clear story on long term trends.

Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast. And my guest today is Ryan Atkinson, the CEO and Co-Founder of Spacebar Visuals, a company that specializes in animated videos that make your sales funnel convert better. Ryan, welcome to the show. Thank you so much for having me, Steve. I appreciate the energy. I'm excited to spend this Friday with you. So yeah, thank you for the opportunity to come on. Well, it's great to have someone who is much younger than me, because obviously you're going to bring the entrepreneurial energy. I hope I still have some, but I still want to feed off of yours. And I'm really curious about how you get into starting a video production business and what are the success factors in your space anyway? Yeah. So how do you get into a video marketing business? My story goes back to about November, 2022. I always wanted to be an entrepreneur. I grew up with entrepreneurial parents. So I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur. So, I'm scrolling on Twitter of all places and I come across a tweet. His name's Brandon and he's like, I want to start an agency. I want an operator/co-founder/CEO to help run this thing. Message me if you're interested, send me an email with the title like Spacebar Visuals. So I saw that and my eyes lit up. I'm like, oh my gosh, this might be a phenomenal opportunity. So, I sent him an email, sent him a personalized video, basically just covering my background of like, hey, I've worked at HubSpot, I've worked at health tech companies and sales and marketing roles, and I'm super interested to help you do this. And so, we met over Zoom and basically three ideas that we had in mind was one, a ghost writing agency, two, a newsletter growth agency, or three, a video marketing agency. And both of us have like a media background and we're both interested in media and like B2B. So that's ultimately how we landed on Spacebar Visuals of all places came from Twitter. So yeah, it's a pretty funny story to share now. This is really interesting because it sounds like neither of you had a clear idea of what you wanted to do. It wasn't like you had an idea and said, okay, let's create a business around it. It was more like, let's find a partner who's interested to be in business and brainstorm what to do together. Yeah, it basically came to like, what are our strengths? So we came together, it was like, what do we know best? And we know best selling to B2B clients. And both of us are interested in media. So, we knew we wanted to be around those two avenues because that would just give us the greatest opportunity or greatest possibility to actually succeed is when we're going to align our strengths on the actual idea. So going into it, I wouldn't say I love video marketing, but now I love video marketing. I'm very grateful and very blessed for what I'm able to do now. Yeah, that happens. Whatever you specialize in, you get to understand it at a deeper level, and if you're curious, you're gonna grow to love it. Exactly. That's pretty cool. So what are the success factors in video marketing? What does it take for a video marketing business to be successful, different, and get clients and grow? It takes blood, sweat, and tears. No, I'm just kidding. That's a given. Yeah, that's a given. That's a given with any startup, but when it comes down to it, what we're graded on, what we're judged on,

Look back at April data and help share some actionable items for helping retailers capture more business Ryan was back in Colorado last week and saw a lot of our team based out of there. We did a pinball happy hour on Thursday, a gravel ride on Friday, and went to the Supercross race in Denver on Saturday. We are stoked about the big software enhancement we released last week. The product detail pages now have a super modern visual interface for customers to select size and color variations. The shopping experience is comparable to REI. We expect to see an increase in add to cart rates just in time for summer website traffic. Looking at the bike industry, most retailers and suppliers are putting a lot of weight on the market performance in May. The spring was pretty erratic and we're looking for stability entering the summer.Promising indicators coming out of April.Google search volume for bike shops has been steadily growing on an expected seasonal trend after a slowdown in March.Google search volume for “best bike” was at the highest level in the last 18 months in the first week in May. This is great news about consumer demand but it's also noteworthy that volume for this term is outpacing “bike shop”. This consumer shift to online shopping is continuing - it isn't going to retreat after COVID. The long term trend is holding, growing about 1% share of total retail sales every year. April website traffic for bike shops using Workstand was up 9% over March and up 11% compared to last year.Average Order Value online in April was up 12.5% compared to last year as more consumers are buying bikes online.Paying attention to headlines about supplier financial health. Obviously Trek's cutbacks earlier this year were eye opening but I trust that their leadership team is more than capable of managing through the situation. The news about Kona was more troubling because the company is up for sale. Kona is an important brand for our customers and I'm hoping that the right buyer comes in and stabilizes the company.What's coming up next NBDA webinar with Suzie and Ryan this FridayRyan attending the NBDA Retailer Summit next weekClient Success Summit in June Be sure to email your questions to podcast@workstand.com.

The band is back together! Ryan is back and will join us each month to share key takeaways from current inventory data, talk about big-picture topics in our industry, and answer your questions.Higher total sales amounts (by the dollar) in 2023 but lower total unit salesThe most recent report from PeopleForBikes provided some summary information about 2023. Last year's market value was nearly $1 billion over pre-pandemic markets. A lot of people rightly point to the dollar growth coming from a higher average selling price, meaning dollar growth is outpacing units. 4% decrease compared to 2022 but a 7% increase over 2019 Electric bikes now make up 20% of total bike sales.What's happening now?Look at more recent data, we're paying careful attention to the December through February data. Important key metrics have turned the corner across the network. Total online sales are up about 11% and site traffic is up about 10%. Most of 2023 was down relative to the prior 12 months but that trajectory is changing.What are the areas of growth in our industry? What's doing well?A lot of the growth we're seeing is coming from bikes - largely electric, 29" mountain, and sport/performance road. Heavy discounts in those categories is achieving the intended result of increasing total dollar sales volume.Interestingly, discounts in sport/performance road are actually driving up the ASP for bikes in the category. But who's doing well?While the largest dealers continue to drive most of our sales volume, in February we saw the first significant uptick for the small and medium sized retailers. Crystal ball time - how is 2024 looking? Can we make any predictions? Sizing up the IBD channel right now suggests that 2024 is going to be a tough year. Google Search Data, ridership data, and the sales of consumables like chains and nutrition indicate that people are interested in and riding bikes. Retailers on the whole are running their businesses pragmatically and relying on just in time ordering to stay flexible. Okay, you've taken us through a number of ups and downs…how can retailers take action to make a positive impact on their sales? My one piece of advice to our customers is to stay very active with your marketing. Be sure to email your questions to podcast@workstand.com.

On the latest Patrick Jones Baseball podcast, my guest is Ryan Atkinson, current pitching coordinator at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, owner of Performance House, and former MiLB pitcher in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization. Ryan went from undrafted out of the University of Cincinnati, got a real job working at a hospital for 12 months, and then decided to try out for an independent team. He made the Independent Team Evansville Otters, and less than two weeks later, the Arizona Diamondbacks signed him as a free agent. Ryan massively improved his Fastball command in a 2-year window. In his last season at the University of Cincinnati, he walked 45 batters in 71 innings. In his first full season of professional baseball, he had 60 BBs in 141 innings. The reason: Fastball command We discuss how to improve a pitcher's command, what Ryan changed over that 2 year time period, and the importance of discipline and hard work over a long period of time.Timestamps for Ryan Atkinson [3:39] Game Changer [5:28] Getting Confidence [7:33] Mental Side of the Game [12:13] Breathing Practice [15:05] Mechanical Changes from College to Pro-ball [17:37] Learning [20:03] Released Early[23:13] Regrets and Retirement[29:02] Surprises from a Coaches Stand Point [31:45] Bio-Mechanics [35:05] Structuring the Process [40:37] Time Frame[46:32] VisionFollow Ryan Atkinson on Twitter: @OldSport_34Ryan's gym in KentuckyFollow Ryan on InstagramPatrick Jones Baseball:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pjonesbaseballTwitter: https://twitter.com/pjonesbaseballFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/pjonesbaseballLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-jones-b388a484/Website: https://patrickjonesbaseball.comNewsletter: https://www.patrickjonesbaseball.com/blog Hosted on Acast.

In this session we are speaking with Ryan Atkinson about his vast experience working across the globe as a cinematographer. Ryan has spent 12 years filming wildlife and science filmmaking for the likes of the BBC Natural History Unit, Netflix and National Geographic. His work has taken him to over 50 countries on 6 continents, specialising particularly in polar and mountain environments and has seen him join expeditions of all shapes and sizes; from a 20 strong team abseiling into the world's most active volcano, to months spent following polar bears across the Norwegian pack ice, and long solitary hours on skis looking for foxes amongst the Canadian wilderness. No stranger to expedition hazards, he gets very cold hands after experiencing ‘minor' frost nip in -37 degrees, has been medevac'd following a scorpion sting in Tanzania, and has ongoing adventures involving jungle fungus. Having also volunteered for 8 years as a member of mountain rescue, his life took a slight turn with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Swapping tropical jungles for concrete jungles in 2021, he's now about to finish training as an emergency medical technician with London Ambulance Service, with a particular interest in trauma and critical care and a view to progressing onto his paramedic training in 2023. Ryan hopes to have a long and fulfilling second career ahead of him, combining clinical learning and work within NHS Ambulance trusts, with expedition medicine, photography and far fewer scorpions.

This week we introduce this new type of Up Next episode.The first big note is that our Client Success Team has extended their support hours and will now be available from 7:00am - 6:00pm MST. We talk about retail trends and mention an article Ryan Atkinson shared with us this week from the National Retail Federation that suggests an optimistic holiday shopping season.We also touch on holiday marketing on your website and on social media. Make sure you're promoting the categories and services that matter, front and center on your website. Is gravel your thing? Or eBikes? Make sure that is obvious to your website visitors. What is your staff riding? You and your staff are trusted members of your cycling community and are probably asked for your opinions hundreds of times a month. Sharing that on your website with a Staff Picks section or landing page is a great way to leverage that experience and trust for those customers who haven't been to the store yet.Holiday Premium ContentNovember Marketing Content BlogHoliday 2022 Content BlogLet us know if you have questions we can answer on 10-Minute Tuesdays or in our regular Up Next episodes.

Up Next is our podcast where Ryan Atkinson, Suzie Livingston, and Mark Still from SmartEtailing discuss topics pertinent to our bicycle retail clients, industry suppliers and brands, and service providers in the cycling industry.Before the COVID-19 pandemic, impromptu gatherings around a table or a desk in our office were the norm. Now that we're all working remotely, we have to work a little harder to make those moments happen and that's where this podcast comes in. Short and to the point, we hope to bring valuable information and insights to those involved in bicycle retail, e-commerce, and the supply chain.In this episode, we find our way into talking about loyalty marketing too. What is a retailer to do when they can't get enough product to sell and anything and everything bike-related has demand that far outstrips supply? There's more to it than what happens today. Astute retailers are marketing for tomorrow, for next month, and next year to ensure all of these new bike riders become their lifetime customers.We also publish Up Next on our YouTube channel if you'd like to watch while you listen. Here is our Up Next playlist and a link to this episode.

This episode of the Channel Mastery podcast was originally recorded as a webinar on April 30, 2020 as part of the Snowsports Industries of America Town Hall Thursday series, and can also be found on their COVID-19 hub. Since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis, it’s an understatement to say that we have seen massive shifts in consumer trends, especially in the outdoor active lifestyle spaces. Speaking on the topic with me are Ryan Atkinson of Smartetailing and Ben Barenholtz of Quivers. Both offer incredible insight and broader perspectives to how we must change our businesses to operate and match the evolution of today’s consumer. This episode focuses on foundational pieces to help understand the trends of where consumer behavior is now and where we think it is going. Though we don’t have a crystal ball, and certainly couldn’t have predicted how 2020 has been so far, we do have the ability to recognize the changes and adapt our businesses in real time. Ryan Atkinson is President and Co-Owner of SmartEtailing. He is passionate about enhancing marketing for independent bicycle dealers. With more than 20 years of related experience, Ryan has worked in almost every aspect of the bicycle retail distribution network. Ben Barenholtz is a marketing leader and startup builder, with a passion for e-commerce and physical retail. He currently heads marketing for Quivers, the leading provider of “Fulfilled by Retailer” technology for brands and retailers. Prior to Quivers, Ben was the VP Marketing at Reach Analytics, a consumer analytics software company.
Ryan Atkinson returns to Channel Mastery after a wide reaching webinar with the National Bicycle Dealers Association (NBDA). He is President and Co-Owner of SmartEtailing and talks to us about the importance of evolving when it comes to how consumers purchase not only bicycles, but other products as well. Click and Collect shopping iis on the incline and Ryan and his team at SmartEtailing are helping specialty bike shops keep sales within their communities, ensure consumer accessibility to the products, and help the “shop local” movements for Independent Bicycle Dealers across the country through an online presence. If you’re a specialty business leader getting ready to head into Holiday 2019, this is an episode you won’t want to miss! Ryan is passionate about enhancing marketing for independent bicycle dealers. With more than 20 years of related experience, Ryan has worked in almost every aspect of the bicycle retail distribution network, from turning wrenches at the local bike shop to launching new products for Trek Bicycle Corporation. Before joining SmartEtailing, Ryan founded Harvest Retail Marketing, a leader in marketing solutions for the independent bike dealer. His diverse background has engendered a deep understanding about the challenges facing independent retailers and the importance of implementing marketing and technology solutions to grow those businesses.
In full transparency: I love cycling. I also believe that the bike industry provides a unique purview into a specialty industry that’s mid-gap jump in terms of channel evolution. In today’s show with Ryan, you’ll learn that many independent bike dealers and bike manufacturers are still timid about committing to ecommerce as a channel – for lots of reasons. As we’ve reported in on before on Channel Mastery, you’ll hear once again from this expert that specialty businesses NEED to expand into this realm to continue to serve your connected consumer today.
