“If you shouldn't be the CEO, don't be the CEO. There's a lot of baggage that comes with being the CEO or the COO where you're like in charge of all the people or in charge of moving the business forward in a way - make sure you're really the person that should be at the helm of the company” — Jenny Thompson This week Sachit (@sachitgupta) chats with entrepreneur Jenny Thompson. Jenny is the founder and CEO of SafetyPIN. She is a mission-driven business leader and natural-born marketer who knows how to build and promote companies for the benefit of shareholders, employees, and customers. Her skills include strategic business development, customer acquisition and retention, win-win negotiations, marketing strategy, business "pruning," and idea-driven marketing and product development. She spent 20 years at The Agora Companies, most as the CEO of NewMarket Health. During that time, she grew the company from $2 million to $70 million, oversaw the migration of the company's marketing from 100% direct mail to 100% online, and was responsible for 14 brands. Jenny left NewMarket to start SafetyPIN Technologies, an innovative trust badge that incorporates criminal history and an exclusive behavioral assessment. Designed mainly for the gig and sharing economies, as well as dating apps, SafetyPIN lets you see – at a glance – if someone you met online is safe to meet offline. She's also the creator of the 3-Day Business Cleanse, a novel process that helps companies get “unstuck” using a review, eliminate, and rebuild philosophy.

On our 40th Episode we have Jenny Thompson, CEO and Founder of SafetyPIN Technologies!   Today Jenny will share with us her story on how she went from working for nonprofits to for profits, and then pivot in her life that began her next season of life which led her to create SafetyPIN.  Jenny also shares a lot of information in regards to background checks and screenings that I was not familiar with.  This helped to deepen my understanding that many of the things I thought were set in place for safety checks are not as thorough as I had believed them to be.   You are for sure going to want to lean in to hear Jenny’s story as she highlights her passions of marketing and starting SafetyPIN Technologies.   #JennyThompson #SafetyPIN #SafetyPINTechnologies #BackgroundChecks #BRÜUSH #Bruush #AnaLuisa #Jewelry #SavedbytheCity #PodcastRec #NoWrongTurns #ChicagoPodcast #StorytellingPodcast #StoryAndPassion       Jenny Thompson -- Safety Pin Website - https://www.getasafetypin.com/  Insta- https://www.instagram.com/safetypintech/  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/safetypintech  Linkedin - linkedin.com/in/jennythompson-safetypin Twitter - https://twitter.com/JCT_212  FOLLOW NO WRONG TURNS POD  Instagram @nowrongturnspod https://www.instagram.com/nowrongturnspod  Facebook @nowrongturnspod https://www.facebook.com/NoWrongTurnsPod   SPONSOR AD   BRÜUSH Brüush is an electric toothbrush that will change the way you think about brushing your teeth.

They have spent many years working for traditional luxury brands, the dubious manufacturing, and retail markups did not look right to them. Ana Luisa wanted to write a more beautiful story from beginning to end—starting with recycled materials whenever possible, transparent business practices always, and small-batch designs that are kind to our Earth.   Ana Luisa creates sustainably-crafted pieces that bring joy to those who wear them, and to those who make them, with the conviction that luxury can be enjoyed without excess. One piece that I enjoy wearing is the Ana Gold necklace.  It is perfect for layering, could be worn by itself or I can add a pendant to it as well.   Today we have the code NOWRONGTURNSPOD10 which you can use for 10% off your next order Check out www.analuisa.com.     PODCAST RECOMMENDATION    This week I want to share with you a podcast called Saved by the City.  I found this podcast through following Katelyn Beaty and her book called A Woman’s Place: The surprising truth about why God intends every woman to work.  In the podcast Katelyn is joined by her co host Roxy Stone to chat about various topics from fashion to dating to shattering the glass ceilings.     Roxy and Katelyn grew up in the white evangelical American heartland. Both were warned moving to a supposed bastion of secular culture would be dangerous to their faith. While navigating a city where people sleep in on Sunday mornings and the chaste motto “true love waits” isn’t a thing, the two have found a renewed, vibrant faith that has been both strengthened and stretched in the metropolis.   PODCAST LINK: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/saved-by-the-city/id1557930520  Music Credits: Wholesome Music from https://filmmusic.io "Wholesome" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Proud and loving dog owner, Jenny had a shocking experience when the pet sitter she hired off Craigslist stole money and faked her own death. Realizing other people were having the same experiences (and worse!) when hiring dog walkers, babysitters, and handymen, or using home sharing and ride-sharing companies, she developed the idea for SafetyPIN Technologies. After consulting with experts in technology and criminal behavior and profiling, she began to pull the pieces together. She then left her career of 20 years as a CEO for a health and wellness company to bring her idea to life. I wanted to find out more about the story behind SafetyPIN Technologies and the new universal trust badge that's been approved by the former White House security chief and forensic profilers. Jenny Thompson joins me on my daily tech podcast to share her startup story. We also talk about her mission to transform the security level of the sharing economy, which included a unique behavioral review that is proving to be unmatched. Jenny Thompson is a mission-driven startup executive, author, and natural-born marketer who has documented success in building brands from scratch and driving measurable growth to benefit shareholders, employees, and customers alike. Today, as Founder of SafetyPIN Technologies, Jenny has developed an innovative background check methodology that offers a universal trust badge for approved applicants, verifying peace of mind for the national sharing economy. Prior to SafetyPIN, Jenny spent more than two decades supporting the Agora Companies, including her role as CEO of NewMarket Health. During that time, she grew the company from $2 million to $70 million, oversaw the migration of the company's digital marketing transformation, and was responsible for 14 brands. Jenny is also the noteworthy creator of the 3-Day Business Cleanse, a novel process that helps companies get "unstuck" using a review, eliminate, and rebuild philosophy.

In 1996, Jenny Thompson made one of the most important decisions of her life: To leave her Dilbertian job and answer an ad in the Baltimore Sun (That’s an actual ad in an actual print newspaper!) for a marketing manager. Soon after, she joined the team at Agora Inc. where she began her career with the company at The Oxford Club.   In her first year there, she tripled profits. On the heels of that success, the owners asked her to take over the fledging health business. After just 10 months in that role, she increased the bottom line 500%.   Over the next 2 decades, Jenny introduced over a dozen newsletters, launched 4 supplement lines, and acquired a skincare company. At its peak, her business marketed 18 newsletters, more than 70 dietary supplements, and 8 skincare products to more than 1.2 million customers and prospects around the world, averaging 18% growth annually during her tenure.   In 2016, with the business projected to hit $70 million, Jenny made the decision to let the next generation take over and go out on her own. After 6 months consulting in the same market, she decided she wanted something “newer.” So, knowing nothing about technology, Jenny focused all her energy on a new software startup. SafetyPIN created a virtual trust badge that’s designed to make the internet a safer place for all of us. With SafetyPIN holders currently in 39 states, Jenny is working to build awareness and make “Do you have a SafetyPIN?” part of every conversation in the sharing economy.   *** Connect to Lou Diamond: www.loudiamond.net Subscribe to Thrive LOUD: www.thriveloud.com/podcast

If you have spent any time online interacting with new people, you know it can be a questionable experience. Is the person you are talking to the person they claim, or are they possibly a St. Bernard that got ahold of a phone? There is absolutely no great way to tell. That question becomes even more important when you are considering inviting the person into your life, either as a date, a client, a housekeeper, babysitter, or more. That is where SafetyPIN Technologies comes in. Their platform allows a person to generate a third-party verified account that shows that they are likely a safe person. Think of it like a background check that you perform on yourself, but you only share a verified status with others. The recipient does not get to see the results of the check, they only get to see that you have a verified SafetyPIN. This idea creates an environment of protection for both individuals: the sender's privacy is protected and the recipient's safety is protected. So, how does it work? Let's say you want to be a house sitter, and you sign up on an online platform for people looking for house sitters. Before you do, you go get a SafetyPIN. The company will ask some questions about you to be able to do research. This will include SSN for a background check, as well as personality-type questions to look for problems. Once the process is done, if you are deemed to not have major red flags, you will receive a personal identification number (PIN), that you can share with prospective clients of your house sitting business. If red flags are found, you will not receive a PIN. SafetyPIN is already supported by some big-name services, like LinkedIn, Bumble, HomeAway, and Nextdoor, and the company plans to expand their partnership network over time. You do not need to be on a supported platform to request a PIN from someone else, though, as you can verify right on the company's website.
