He talks with Derek about his entrepreneurial journey, defining success, and his experience in "the tank".In 2014, Basic Outfitters co-founders Laura and Michael Dweck married and moved into a cozy apartment in NYC. It was quickly obvious whose clothing collection would take precedence in their precious and limited closet space. Michael's eclectic and long-time accumulated sock and underwear assortment would have to go and be replaced by a fresh, new and curated collection of basics.When it came time to refill his drawers, Michael was faced with the choice of expensive designer products or cheap, generic and poorly made basics, both of which would entail a stressful shopping experience. Michael and Laura recognized the overwhelming need for superior and affordable men's essentials offered to customers in a convenient, easy-to-use way. And thus, Basic Outfitters was born.Learn more at www.basicoutfitters.com

Pat Yates is the President and Owner of Happy Feet Slippers, a novelty business providing high-quality, comfortable house shoes for the entire family. The slippers garnered nationwide attention after a 2014 appearance on Shark Tank, where he struck a deal with Robert Herjavec. Since then, the company's grown into a multimillion-dollar e-commerce operation. The deal led to licensing agreements with DreamWorks, NCAA, NFL, and Disney. By 2015, he formed a relationship with Mark Daoust, the Founder of Quiet Light, where he now serves as one of the broker's mergers and acquisitions advisors. In this episode… Happy Feet Slippers started as a kiosk retail venture over 25 years ago. Today, the slipper company is a global success thanks to an appearance on a popular TV show. Soon, more opportunities followed when the founder, Pat Yates, signed lucrative licensing deals with prominent brands. Although licensing helped elevate his company, the experience was the start of a new lesson in business for the seasoned e-commerce entrepreneur. If you're an established business owner interested in licensing your products, Pat advises doing your research first. To license a product involves giving another company rights to your intellectual property to produce and sell. Leveraging license agreements has benefits, such as passive income, brand recognition, and acquiring new customers. On the contrary, there's a risk of intellectual property theft, losing control of your brand, colossal licensing fees, and profit loss. In this episode of the eComm Breakthrough Podcast, Josh Hadley interviews Pat Yates, President and Owner of Happy Feet Slippers and Business Broker at Quiet Light, to discuss the complexities of licensing. Pat talks about protecting your brand, his various licensing partnerships, and the steps to acquire licensing. Pat also switches gears to discuss mergers and acquisitions, offering sage advice on exiting a business.
