There's no doubt that we're all feeling Covid fatigue not only from all the restrictions but from the worry that comes along with this illness itself.  Most of us know someone that has suffered from Covid-19.  As a result, most of our lives have been changed.  We have a new normal.  Many people are working from home that has never done that before. Parents now find themselves homeschooling their children at the same time.  There's little time for self-care, and a lot of people feel like they are in survival mode. This puts together a pretty dangerous situation for millions of people.  If you feel like you are on the verge of burnout or even stressed out to the degree it’s affecting your ability to get through everyday life, this show is for you.  Show Notes How to know if you’re on the verge of burnout Why resting and taking care of yourself is not a luxury Learning to say no Deciding what you need to stop doing The consequences of ignoring the warning signs Tips for making time for yourself Knowing when to let go and how to do that   Be sure to stop by the Louisville Gal’s Real Estate Blog for the full article.     .

Episode 324: In this episode Madelyn and sexologist Eva Clay discuss modern dating while eternally conscious of the pressures of the biological clock, connection, enchantresses, and keeping your embodiment practice in the fore while seeking a life mate. Eva Clay is an acclaimed sexologist and psychotherapist whose mission is to illuminate the ménage-a-trois of soul, sex and science. She's helped thousands of people unlock their innate potential for pleasure, and as a former professor of neuroscience, she bodaciously reminds us that smart is sexy. Her work is an elegant marriage of the profound and the playful, and has been a practitioner of sexual tantra for over a decade. She’s been featured as an expert in major media appearances, is a regular guest on Channel Q and has appeared as a keynote speaker at the Wanderlust yoga festivals. Show Notes: How to be present on dates when the biological clock is ticking? Women learning about their physiology is incredibly empowering and puts them in mastery. "Ditch the Frame" - Replace, "Could he be the one?" with sensual questions of, "What is the tenor or tone of our exchange? How much pleasure do I experience when sharing space with him?" The "frame" creates contraction and anxiety in the body and dims your radiant light. Men do not want to be interviewed as the "baby daddy." Think of a cervix as you embody your openness and desire in your dress, body language, and communication. When setting up dating profiles, rather than the hard edges of, "I don't want this," or, "I don't like this," instead effusively express that which you love, and he will be magnetized to you. Discernment is okay too - evaluate integrity, frequency and vibration, how you feel when you're around them. Study the great enchantresses like Cleopatra to better practice your energetic gifts in the domain of dating.

Sensory science isn’t just tasting, it’s so much more. After all, you have five senses. What about the feel of toilet paper? Or the smell of kitty litter, or the sound of paper crackling. Not only that, but the metrics you use and how you train your panelists all matter when it comes to getting valuable data for your product. Though Sensory Spectrum is a service, I ask Ivy Koelliker, on some tools and tips that either you, the budding food entrepreneur or the food technologist on the bench can use to optimize your prototypes. From cat urine to plant-based meat, this episode has it all. How do these relate? You’ll find out. Special thanks to Kristin Bernardi for not only being a fan of My Food Job Rocks but also reaching out to interview one of many extremely talented colleagues. Why did I choose Ivy? Mainly because her blurb had to do with plant-based meat. Yes, the big secret, I interview people to help me do my job better! About Sensory Spectrum Founded in 1986 by Gail Vance Civille, Sensory Spectrum provides Consumer Research, Descriptive Analysis, Training & Education and on/off site Sensory Services Management. Our research and consulting span a wide range of consumer products and ingredients to include foods, non-foods, packaging, and devices.

She also has a Grand Diploma in the Culinary Arts from the French Culinary Institute. Show Notes How do you describe what you do?: I taste food and I tell people about it Sensory Spectrum Malodor – analyzing and mitigating bad smells Trained Panelists – we hire trained panelists Spectrum Method Training How to taste better?: Remove personal bias, be descriptive, and practice, practice practice. When you practice, taste various different products and be aware of the notes What is the flavor that your company wants? What is the flavor your company wants to convey? Buy top competitor products and see what’s similar and different among them All food companies have plant-based meat divisions What have you noticed about plant-based meat: The top tier companies nail appearance, getting close on texture. Flavor: some are getting close but no one is hitting it exactly. Meat flavors tend to be in the meat broth or mushroom flavor notes. It’s great, but misses the mark National Restaurant Association JUST Egg Did you find out about food science before college?: No. I found out about it during my Masters Rutgers University Culinary School taught me the ways of working and being efficient at work After Culinary School, I decided to get my degree in Food Science and then worked in the sensory lab Dr. Beverly Tepper Food trends and technologies: Sustainability Research Chef Association Griffith Foods Sustainability is a trend Non-traditional Savory options Boba Popsicle Sensory Evaluation Techniques with Gail Civille (owner of Sensory Spectrum) ASTM – Documentation for sensory test protocols Delgado Coffee How do you get into Sensory Science?: Though a degree will give you an edge, some of our people don’t have sensory sciences but you can still get internships or be an analyst. Statistics is very important in Sensory Science Because food is personal, we have to really eliminate the bias of our controls Sensory Spectrum – you can send a quick message

You are listening to episode 236 with Lisa Donovan, Writer, Baker and author of Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger. She’s a James Beard Award recipient for her writing in Food & Wine. Her publisher, Penguin Random House asked me to interview her so that means this podcast, has made it! Anyways, something to note is that we as professionals love to script our lives. Especially early on. By this age, I want to be vice president of this thing, or that thing, you know who you are. But what if you couldn’t? What if you had to fight to just survive? Or what if opportunities come as they show up? Not fall into your lap, but rather finding opportunities and then working relentlessly to get them? That’s Lisa Donovan’s life. A ballet dancer, art reviewer, baker, and now, writer. As I go through my professional journey, if I decided to stay the course, I don’t think I would have been where I am today. I wouldn’t have a  podcast, have started my own company, or have moved to all of these amazing cities. Something to chew on. This interview shows Lisa as an unstoppable and creative force technically, but her new memoir, Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger showcases the struggle of being a single mother and the struggles and successes of being a woman in the restaurant industry. Take note on how we describe the technical process. On the surface, Lisa’s skillset can be considered art, but art has a technical process and something to think about, is how you can put art, in your technical process. Show Notes How do you describe yourself?: It changes quite a bit but I haven’t worked in professional kitchens in a while. Now, at this moment, is writer first. Has your writing been beneficial for your baking?: Each has a technique and a process until it’s “put on the menu”. There’s a nuance for each and you use the same parts of your brain. When you edit, you have to put everything on paper and then cut out the rest. You have to create a central story and some stories might not make it and needs to cover the themes Sometimes the rewarding feeling is having someone personal read your book What got you into baking?: Survival honestly. I had to do it at night when the kids were sleeping. Eventually, I got a job as a server and persisted in baking Rhodesian Ridgeback How did you get into writing?: As reviewers came to try things, I would ask them about what they do and how they did it John T Edge – Founder of the Southern Foodways Alliance Kat Kinsmen How are you surviving lockdown?: I want to try to make things that are just beautiful and I’m thinking a lot about it James Beard Award: Dear Women: Own Your Stories – Lisa Donovan Sean Brock Kitchen Parnassus Books Now Serving in LA Instagram: Lisa Donovan Website

In 2012, Yannick Agnel dominated the 200 Free at the London Olympics. So when he abruptly retired at the age of 24, it was a shock to the swimming world. He left to pursue his other curiosities. Today, living in Paris, Yannick is the director for an esports academy, just finished his first novel, and will lead the French broadcasting team for Tokyo 2020. Show Notes: How do you have such great English? Can speak a little bit of everything. "I don't like to study, I like to learn." - Yannick Agnel Pre-2012. Watching him in 2000, Ian Thorpe was his first memory of swimming. Grew up in Nimes. Moved to Nice swim for Fabrice Pellerin. What was training like? Swimming with music that would have specific tempos. "Technically speaking, I think it was one of the best squads in the world." - Yannick Agnel Didn't start lifting weights and doing serious drylands until he was 16, 17. Fabrice is a master technician -- the best in the world. We did stuff in France that nobody did back then. We swam on Sundays. Coach-Athlete Relationship: it can bring great success but not enduring success. Leading up to 2012 how were you mentally. Finding a balance between swimming and life by going to business school. Beating Phelps in the 200 Free at the EDF meet in 2010. "I never let anyone beat me ever no matter what shape I'm in." - Michael Phelps Arriving at the Olympics Yannick wasn't afraid. His training partners already prepared him and he knew his worth. Anchoring the gold medal winning 4x100 Free Relay. "Relay Culture". Fabien Gilot. Amaury Leveaux was our Dennis Rodman. Using practice goggles at the Olympics prevented Agnel from seeing past Ryan Lochte. Dropping the 400 Free made all the difference. Camille Muffat. Danas Rapšys. Sun Yang. Bob Bowman. And much more!

Bio-tech is messy because life is complicated. A lot of attention is given to computers sequencing genomes, but some of the most advanced and important work is done by studying and using other living things to make our own lives better. Kenta Yamato co-founded Kaico to commercialize a technique that uses silkworms to manufacture small-batch custom proteins. And Kico is involved with everything from veterinary medicine to Japan's search for a coronavirus vaccine. We also talk about the challenges or creating startups based on university technology and the one e-commerce model in Japan that just won't go away. I think you'll enjoy the conversation. Show Notes How to get proteins from a silkworm (It's not fun for the silkworm) Why silkworms, in particular, must be used The importance and uses of small-batch, custom proteins The start of a silkworm startup The most common (and least successful) Japanese e-commerce model Why it's so hard for Japanese universities to spin-out startups How Kaico silkworms are part of the fight against covid-19 How to scale a silkworm startup Links from the Founder Everything you ever wanted to know about Kaico Friend Kenta on Facebook Connect with him on LinkedIn A Kaico video explainer Leave a comment Transcript Welcome to Disrupting Japan, straight talk from Japan's most successful entrepreneurs. I'm Tim Romero and thanks for joining me. Today, we're going to be talking about worms. No, no, wait, don't go, I promise this is going to be really interesting. Today, we're going to sit down and talk with Kenta Yamato of Kaico, a Kyushu-based startup that is using silkworms to rapidly produce custom small-batch innovative proteins that are used for bio-research, medicine, and they play a part in Japan's search for coronavirus vaccine. It's a fascinating process but admittedly one that's not particularly fun for the silkworms themselves. We also talk about the most popular and most unsuccessful e-commerce business model in Japan, the challenges Japanese universities in spinning out startups, and we even cover some practical solutions to that problem. But you know, Kenta tells that story much better than I can, so let's get right to the interview. Interview Tim: So I'm sitting here with Kenta Yamato of Kaico, a company that uses silkworm to produce specific protein used in medical tests and vaccine, and thank you for sitting down with me. Kenta: Yes, thank you for me and I have a very pleasure to explain our company's story. Yeah, thank you very much. Tim: It's great to have you on the show. I tried to explain very briefly what Kaico does, but I think you can explain it a lot better than I can, so at like a high level, what does Kaico do? Kenta: We started Kaico two years ago in 2018. Kaiko means silkworm in English. Maybe you know silkworm can make silk for clothes, but we will use this kaiko silkworm for making proteins. We are a startup company from Kyushu University and our products are many proteins, the protein the other companies cannot make because it is difficult to make it. We make this protein by silkworm. Tim: So if I understand the basic process, you inject the silkworm with a virus containing the target gene, and then it makes the proteins as part of its silk, and then you extract the proteins from the silk? Kenta: No, no. First, we'll incorporate the gene of target protein into baculovirus, so this baculovirus is safe for us humans and animals, but baculovirus damage to only silkworms and we will insert this recombinant baculovirus into silkworm and their body can make the specific protein in their cell, and finally, we'll collect and purify the body liquid from the silkworm. Tim: Okay, so it's not from the silk, it's from the silkworms themselves that you extract the proteins. Kenta: Yes, we don't use silk. Tim: Okay. So why silkworm? Is there something about silkworms that makes it easy to generate protein...

At some level, we all want to be successful. Yet success can have ill-effects. On this episode of Breaking Bread, Brian Sutter and Fred Witzig tackle this topic of success. Approaching the topic from a historical, clinical and biblical perspective helps provide insight into this “success” we all want. Show Notes: How healthy is my success? Success should promote humility. Success should not promote arrogance. Success should promote thanksgiving. Success should not promote entitlement. Success should promote a dependence on God. Success should not promote an independence from God. Success should promote a healthy mind. Success should not promote out of balance. Success should promote good relationships. Success should not promote negligence. Success should promote a healthy view of God. Success should not promote misconceptions of God. Success should promote a high view of people. Success should not promote a condescending view of people. Success should promote joy.

The Episode in 60 Seconds Before the pandemic swept the world, there were rumblings. There were rumblings about an economic downturn. Plus our culture was already beginning to debate many topics. There were tremors showing up on the business Geiger counter. In this episode, we listen back to a prescient interview with Dr. Jeff Cornwall, a professor from Belmont University and a B2B tech (medtech) executive, recorded at the end of 2019. We discuss and comment on: The economy and the implications of the volatility of the market How CMOs should lead knowing that there will always be a future crisis just over the horizon How companies should view the changing generations. Millennials have buying power and Gen Z is graduating college. How the soul of a brand should (and should not) address cultural change Marketing lessons learned during the pandemic   Our Guest Dr. Jeff Cornwall is the inaugural recipient of the Jack C. Massey Chair in Entrepreneurship and Professor of Entrepreneurship at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. He served as the Director of the Center of Entrepreneurship at Belmont from 2003-2013. Dr. Cornwall has spent more than forty years as a serial entrepreneur and teacher of entrepreneurs. In the 1970s he started several small businesses and was involved in various family ventures. In the late 1980s, following several years in academics, Dr. Cornwall co-founded Atlantic Behavioral Health Systems in Raleigh, N.C. and spent nearly a decade leading the company as President/CEO. After growing to more than 300 employees, he and his partners sold most of their healthcare holdings. After the sale, Dr. Cornwall decided it was time to return to the classroom to share his experience and knowledge with aspiring entrepreneurs. Dr. Cornwall remains active as an entrepreneur with the digital content venture he co-founded in 2014, Entrepreneurial Mind, LLC.

(https://bdacademy.pro/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Headshot-Andy-Salkeld-101-1.jpg)Andy Salkeld is a former accountant (Big 4), corporate financier and business intelligence specialist who seemed to have it all. But Andy lives with depression and has been suicidal. Now an investor co-owner of a small business, he speaks and writes openly about mental health and depression in professional life. Shownotes: How we often introduce ourselves as what we do, not who we are, which doesn't always create honest conversations How the perceived stigma of mental health affects professionals like accountants The competitive 'Darwinian' nature of professions that involve the mind - the survival of the fittest The huge pressures accountants are under in building their career, and why any sign of weakness can be detrimental How good or not accountants are at handling change, disruption and pressure Much of a professional's self worth, identity and acceptance is wrapped up in what they can do, not who they are How accountancy is like football in being a performance business with massive pressure to get results How accounting firm leaders and cultures are rarely equipped to deal with admissions of mental health and stress In a data driven industry, it's hard to make decisions about complex emotions inherent in mental health How a greater acceptance of mental health and liberation of views has led to a better understanding of the impacts In accounting firms, people (and leaders) do genuinely care but don't always know how to help with mental health The importance of sharing your struggles and vulnerabilities in work situations, especially if you're in a leadership role Nobody has all the answers, especially in times of great disruption and uncertainty One example of the chain of events that might lead someone to take their own life The song lyric that turned a suicidal depressive's life around to now helping other professionals deal with mental health The role of therapists and counsellors in helping you articulate complex emotions and situation (https://bdacademy.pro/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/andy_salkeld.png) When not working, Andy loves playing board games, listening to ska and pop-punk music and cooking.

You would expect that event-focused startups would be some of the hardest hit by the global pandemic and lockdown, and for the most part, you would be right. But Peatix is one event startup that adapted fast and is now actually thriving during the lockdown.  We've talked with Taku Harada before, and if you have not done so already, you should check it out. It's a great conversation and there is no overlap with today. Today we talk about how startups can pivot and survive during the pandemic, why having too much money can be a curse for startups, and we dive into what's gone wrong with Japanese B2B SaaS startups. It's a great discussion, and I think you will really enjoy it. Show Notes How an evets company pivots during Covid-19 What makes a good online event Will people play for online events What will be the long-term behavioral changes from the lockdown The surprising secret to scaling a social network Tips for Japanese who want to run an international startup The trap of startups having too much funding What's wrong with Japan’s SaaS companies Why Japanese enterprise has too much influence on startups The importance of an ecosystem is not what you think  Links from the Founder Everything you ever wanted to know about Peatix Friend Taku on Facebook Follow him on twitter at @takumeister Petix on YouTube Leave a comment Transcript Welcome to Disrupting Japan, straight talk from Japan's most successful entrepreneurs. I'm Tim Romero and thanks for joining me. Today we get a chance to sit down with (at a very safe social distance) with Taku Harada the founder of Peatix, and we’ll talk about how this particular event planning and booking company is not only surviving but thriving during this covid crisis. And hey, this is the very first DJ episode I’ve released, where I’ve interviewed someone over video conference.  Oh, I’ve recorded a few interviews that way them before, but I’ve always found something lacking. Something impersonal and not fully connected when you talking to an image on a screen rather than a person in the same room. But this time was different. Maybe because Taku and I are old friends, or maybe just because we all, myself included, are getting more used to living our lives online. So we’ll be doing more interviews this way, at least until things return to the way they were in the before times. This is actually the second time we’ve had Taku on the show, but this is all new information, and I strongly encourage you to go listen to the other interview. It’s a great discussion about the things no one ever tells you when you first start your startup. I’ll have a link to that episode up on the site But today we are going to talk about how to build, and expand, your customer base during lockdown, some things you should know about fundraising right now, and what the hell is wrong with Japanese B2B SaaS companies. But you know Taku tells that story much better than I can, so let's get right to the interview. Interview Tim: So, I’m sitting here with Taku Harada of Peatix, the event ticketing and promotion service. Thanks for sitting down with me. Taku: It’s great to be back, I guess. We talked several years ago. It’s nice to see you again. Tim: Likewise, and we’re being very appropriately socially distanced here, you being in New York. Taku: Very much. Tim: Yeah. Yeah, actually, you were one of my very first guests on the show and that was, man, almost six years ago now. Taku: Was it six years ago? Tim: Yeah, 5 ½, six years. Times change. Taku: When was it, 2013 or so? I’m curious to find out what I had said back then, if it matches up with the way I’m thinking right now. Tim: Yeah. We finished off a bottle of wine at the old engine yard office in Tokyo. Taku: Yeah, an Ebisu, right? Tim: Yeah. Now, it was a really great interview and we’re not going to cover the same ground again today although I mean,

With all that’s going on, will all the tension in the air, and with all the systemic issues that are being talked about, what if the main solution was to just have dinner with someone of a different perspective? After all, everyone is human and everyone eats and I felt the best way to understand someone is through a good dinner? Eric Adams, Borough President of Brooklyn, New York, believes that a simple dinner can solve a lot of our problems. We’ve had this episode in the bag since March, as in right as everything was locking down, things have changed a lot and there’s no better time to launch it than now because it deals with a lot of issues that is currently affecting the United States. Eric’s had a tough life. Eric didn’t know he was going to be a politician but a terrible string of events changed his life. Eric wanted to be in the computer industry but after he was beaten by the police, he decided to be a police officer and now he’s the President of the Brooklyn Borough pushing a ton of initiatives to make Brooklyn better. This interview is an inspiring example that no matter what your background is, or no matter what type of disadvantages you have going for you, you can strive to fix the problem. Eric brings a great perspective on finding big problems and using unique systems to solve them. One example Eric and I talk about in-depth, is the Breaking Bread, Building Bonds initiative. Another is how he reversed some serious health conditions by altering his diet. Thanks to Andrew Noyes from the JUST Foods team for forwarding this opportunity. If you want to hear more about Eric Adams, I highly suggest listening to two episodes from James Altucher. They go much more into Eric’s life and also gives a great glimpse of not only the life of Eric but how he’s trying to solve the problems that are happening. More Podcasts on Eric Adams James Altucher Ep 509 about Eric Adams' life in more detail James Altucher Ep 596 The Current State of Things with Eric Adams About Eric Adams Borough President EricAdams is also extremely passionate about issues of food justice within the context of racial justice. Diet-related disparities particularly affect racial/ethnic minorities, and the Borough President's promotion of plant-based nutrition in communities of color is an essential tool to tackle these disparities. Breaking Bread, Building Bonds is a new initiative from Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. There will be one hundred dinners across the city, with ten everyday people each from all various ethnicities, identities, and faiths. A particular emphasis will be placed on engaging young people in participating in these dinners, but most notably will involve New Yorkers who are not typical thought leaders or are otherwise significantly engaged in civic life. The goal is to use the tables to have different groups from all over the city sit down and learn from each other. These dinners, which will begin in the early part of 2020, will hopefully empower everyday voices to be new ambassadors of intersectional unity. Show Notes How do you introduce yourself?: I use elected office to deal with crises What’s your title?: Brooklyn Borough President. Brooklyn is the largest borough You didn’t start out being a politician?: I was actually interested in computers NBUF – Police Brutality Why did you go form police officer to a politician?: When I started to dive into it, I found to realize that I have to fix policies and fix the system. 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care When you were running for Senator, who were you, supporters?: Because I was an ex-cop, my relationships in the conservative part of the city did well. What I learned through this journey, we don’t talk to each other so we decided to do a very cool dinner Breaking Bread, Building Bonds Initiative We started an initiative where we would have 100 dinners and have 10 people per dinner and just have people talk to each other. I don’t think people appreciate the lubricating value of the meal How do you choose the people?: We have a link that sorts you out. We have the host get 3 people from 3 different backgrounds. No one can have the same background We look at all backgrounds but we can get specific. For example, Blacks can be Caribbean and Jewish can be Hisidic Can I have an example of a dinner you hosted?: We had 6 people from different South Asian communities. One of them was a Shik, another from Nepal, Punjab, Beijing, Mississippi etc. They explained their food, costumes, praying, and politics How do you break the ice?: We all sit down on the table. We all say a little qquote that states that we will respect each other and not judge you. Did you know 47% of the people in the Brooklyn area speak a second language The students talked to people in China but never communicated with a black person Reflection is powerful not only through external strife but even internal strive Coronavirus was a game-changer and forced us to do a lot of reelecting Wet Markets and Wuhan Food Swamps Food Deserts Hydroponics Meatless Mondays How did you find the time to research the diet that made you re-evaluate your diet?: The first thing I did was believe. When I had diabetes, I had a ton of medications and I would have popped a bunch of pills for the rest of my life In 3 months, I fixed everything At the heart of what I cut out, was Saturated Fat because it clogs your arteries. The biggest producer of saturated fat was meat What do you eat now?: I explore a lot of spices because they do wonders to the body I break my fast with a nice green smoothie, for dinner, lentil pasta with a simple sauce and tofu Burlap and Barrel – Ori Zohar How do people do Breaking bread, building bonds? Especially now where we’re in lockdown?: We are going virtual. Brooklyn-USA.org to sign up for the Breaking Bread, Building Bonds You can also email Eric at askeric@brooklynbp.nyc.gov What do people serve at Breaking Bread, Building Bonds?: It’s so interesting to see what bread people associate with. All cultures have different bonds Why do you love what you do?: If you give back to the universe, the universe gives back to you

I wish I could ask you this question face-to-face: How are you doing, REALLY? But more important than me asking you this question, is for you to ask yourself: How am I really doing? In this episode, I want to invite you to a short time of self-reflection with a few questions. I want us to pay attention to our inner world for the purpose of figuring out what we need to move forward in a way that’s healthy for us and for our families.Show Notes:How are you feeling? (SASHET: sad, angry, scared, happy, excited, tender)What’s not working right now? What are the pain points? What are some potential solutions or changes that might help?What do you need to feel like a human?This week’s practice:This week’s practice is to spend a few minutes paying attention to your inner world, to see what it might want to show you. Ask yourself, How am I feeling? What’s not working right now? And what do I need to do in order to feel like a human?Either write down a few thoughts, or talk it through with a friend. If you have some tangible takeaways, that’s great! But if not, it’s enough for now to simply notice and name what you see. That’s a great place to start, and sometimes paying attention to what is true is all we need to adjust our perspective and get a fresh start.More Resources:For more resources to help you connect with God in the chaos of motherhood, visit http://www.lindsaysterchi.com/free/.

Blake Thomas, the founder of Tiny House Coffee Roasters, was one of my first contacts in Austin, Texas and I had a lot of fun getting to know him and drinking his coffee every day when I was working at WeWork. Blake’s story is super impressive and he works really hard at his job. Learn how Blake jumped on board selling coffee during the end of his Peace Corps stint and how he built up a nice little coffee company in Austin. One of the biggest growth opportunities that Blake was able to get was working with the regional team at WeWork to supply his coffee into their offices. The business relationship was so good, that Blake was able to open a coffee shop at a WeWork location on Barton Springs Road. We also get Blake’s perspective on how he’s handling on the pandemic and it’s really tough, but Blake is using his time wisely by innovating new drinks so he can adapt in trying times. The good news, is that this isn’t the first time Blake had to innovate on the fly. Show Notes How did you start Tinyhouse?: Through the Peace Corps.

Summary: ROI is more important now yet harder to measure than ever. Because of the uncertain economic climate, time between spending and making a sale has increased for most businesses. At the same time effort and marketing activities have had to completely change course to adapt. ROI is something every business leader (you and your clients) wants to know for good reason. But unfortunately the answer is not that simple, and we are tempted to sacrifice long term health for short term reward.    In today’s episode we break open the concept of brand value as a return on investment- how building brand equity has a real business case and is just as important (even more) as other activities that may have direct ROI attached to them. It’s important as an agency to have a deep understanding of this concept not only for your clients, but for YOURSELF. Agencies are so-called “brand building experts” yet often their own brand suffers and is perceived as a commodity. When it comes to building a business with a legacy that makes profit and LASTS, we have to find that perfect balance between number crunching and winning the hearts and minds of your customers.    Resources Mentioned:  Hubspot Google Trends   Top 3 Curtain Pulls in this episode: The importance of ROI as a financial measurement will be more important for quick-growth, blitz-scaling companies, while companies that are looking to build for long-term growth should take brand equity into consideration just as much as ROI. It’s important to Practice what you Preach- as an agency, show clients and customers that your brand is about a deeper meaning and message than just making money.  A simple way of measuring brand awareness is tracking how many Google searches come up for any specific brand or company. That is a real-time measure of brand recognition and audience engagement.    For more tips, discussion, and behind the scenes: Follow us on Instagram @AgencyPodcast Join our closed Facebook community for agency leaders   About The Guys:  Bob Hutchins: Founder of BuzzPlant, a digital agency that he ran from from 2000 -2017.

Is ROI a part of that equation?  [0:] Bob: The term ROI means Return on Investment, or the value that we provide to our clients. There is often a void between what we as agency owners value as success and what the client values as success- closing that gap is what we do. [ ] Ken: “ROI is one of those things that you can’t really control as an agency owner- really no one person can control.” [ ] Brad: Often clients see us as their financial advisor- step 1 of that process is asking “What can I expect my return to be.” Sometimes you get clients who have a different idea of success from you, so it’s more difficult to close that gap. [ ] Bob: The agency dilemma- what’s the goal of the company ultimately, and what’s the size of the company. Smaller company means the goals are going to be different, so the expectations of the client is going to be different.  [ ] Brad: Startups are often quick-moving, fast-growth companies. They’re blitz scaling, and “putting the plane together while they launch it”- ultimately just looking for short term investments to get them where they need to be and create the “strong financial narrative of growth” that they need.   Strategies change based on that need of the company. Startups probably care more about ROI than other more established brands.    Identifying what THEY see as success is #1 with any client. [ ] Bob asks: How much of an agency's job is it to teach and push a client toward a better understanding of ROI for their business?  [ ] Ken: “I think it’s required, even for your own well-being as an agency.” You can’t always control what the product is, the price, who the audience is, etc. If you don’t educate, you’re on the hook for things that you can’t control- the client’s expectations, mostly.  “You have to lead that conversation.” Oftentimes you’re being asked to do things by the client that you have no control over, so you need to educate around that. “Here’s how you should be thinking about ROI from our perspective.”  [ ] Brad: Sometimes you get clients whose product really isn’t being marketed to the correct market. Some companies just don’t put the time or effort into establishing market fit. “We see, as collectors of data, proof or evidence that the client's expectation isn’t right to begin with.”  As an agency, you have to be able to say that you can’t help them any further. You can only guide some clients so far. [ ] Bob speaks on how often the expectation is that clients don’t really understand the process.  [ ] Brad adds that oftentimes the clients don’t understand that there are many perspectives and lenses through which to gauge growth- ROI isn’t the only marker for success. And the less educated a client is about these things, the more work there is at the front end for agencies.  [ ] Ken adds: Agencies have to get ROI for every activity that they do- defining the return is important. Sometimes it’s not money or sales.  Having a team member that understands a more holistic view of the business model is so vital- both internally as well as from clients. Until then you’re always going to have a mismatch. [ ] Brad: Often there are specific structures within the setup of the business that are barriers to understanding and education. When part of the businesses activity takes place offline- they get bumped to a salesperson- it’s hard to measure the success of specific digital ads, etc. So it’s important to have a place (Hubspot, Salesforce) where you can measure those successes even once the process leaves a digital platform.  Then you have clients who come to the table very prepared and know the digital world inside and out and there isn’t a whole lot of education that you have to provide. Then there are clients who expect you to be magic and pull ROI out of thin air. [ ] Bob speaks on the “magician” role that some clients expect. Every client, product, demographic is wildly different. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t [ ] Ken adds: Many clients are looking for a silver bullet, a quick fix to get their name out there. But ultimately as agency owners, you’re doing that service because you know more about that than the person coming to you. This is our responsibility- do NOT feed them the silver bullet misconception.  Educate the reality: “There is no silver bullet, so here’s the deal: It’s finding the right experience on your team, doing the right things consistently over time, and being really smart about those so that you build your business and get to that goal you have. That’s the first thing we ask anyone that we want to work with- what is your goal?  Start with a goal. Is it specific, measurable, realistic? If it is, then how do we back out of that and develop a strategy. [ ] Brad: speaks on the experience of marketing something that there is a lot of excitement and buzz around. “It was so easy to market that product, and it was so fun because there was so much excitement behind it.”  It is a whole different experience when the company is in a market that’s slow or the brand new with no competitors, hs no brand equity, doesn't have the money to do what they need to do- and sometimes they don’t even know what they need.  [ ] Ken responds- “So apparently it’s important for them to have a good product Well it turns out it starts with a great product, apparently. And that’s something that you can’t truly control… If you’re working with someone who says I want to get there, you ask okay how bad do you want it? Because the investment that’s required to get there may be more than they have or that they want to invest- money or time.”  [ ] Brad: The biggest reason that businesses go out of business is due to capital. In order for you to be the magician that they request, they have to be willing to reframe their mindset. Steve Jobs quote: “I create products that people don’t even realize they need.”  Apple not only put out products that are incredible, but they educate people about how that product will improve their lives. [ ] Bob asks about brand equity. Scenario, agency comes to the client with: “Well, we may not have hit all the sales goals, but look at all this brand equity that we’ve built.”  Part of our job as an agency is to measure, report on brand equity, and prove that our process is a success with data & analytics.  This might be important to a marketing manager that you’re working with directly, but maybe not the CFO who’s only looking at the numbers.  [ ] Brad speaks on brand awareness vs desire to purchase. You need both to truly succeed- both are a measure of success.  Brand equity doesn't happen overnight- either have a lot of money or time.  Brand equity comes with a strong consumer value.  Another Steve Jobs quote: “Don’t just sell us on the features of your products, but show us how your product is going to change our lives.” If you don’t have those pain points, you’re never going to create an emotional connection to your brand.  Everything about your brand is brand equity- you have to take everything into context. “It’s not just marketing and driving leads, it’s so much more than that.” [ ] Bob adds: “Can you get your potential customer to see themselves in your product?” [ ] Brad speaks on the tribe mindset of becoming a brand fan. The emotional connection to the product is just as important as the product itself.  Consistency of brand awareness in every aspect of the business.  [ ] Ken: It seems like there is a huge focus on the direct response concept of viral brands and viral products. It’s almost discounting the brand awareness method of building a business. The balance is in between the two.  [ ] Brad: It’s an important question to ask, how much human touch does a brand actually have access to? That really impacts the way that you approach the strategy. [ ] Ken: When you compare two business strategies- one company who wants to create a legacy that is around for years and year and years, another wants to capitalize on a craze that will only work for a year or two.  In one situation, there is very little focus that goes into brand equity and the point is to take advantage of the ROI available. And in the other, brand equity is really the focus of what you’re building early on.  “It’s easy to get caught up in the short term side of things… so you really need to define ROI for yourself, and find the balance. If you want to create a brand that will gain success longterm, you do have to measure both the ROI and brand equity.” [ ] Bob: “Our job is to measure it and deliver those analytics back to them. How do you guys measure that?” [ ] Brad shares his for a digital business: Are we creating awareness? Are we getting people excited about the idea of the product?  Are we driving through an appropriate funnel? [ ] Brad expands: The next step is understanding which messages are driving users deeper into the funnel. UI issues, abandoned cart rates, fallout rates, etc.  [ ] Ken shares: On the brand awareness side you’re working on creating emotions in people. How you measure that could be things like engagement on ads, etc.  [ ] Brad: “You have to understand that your lens is different from your customer, as much empathy as you want to have for them…” [ ] Bob speaks about a method of measuring brand equity/brand awareness- just keeping track of how many Google searches come up in a month, 2 months, 3 months. If there is an increase, that is evidence of brand awareness increasing.  [ ] Ken adds that Google Trends is another way to gain a view of brand awareness.  Keywords, phrases that are bringing people to your site can be used to create narratives to further increase that interest. [ ] Ken highlight 1 Takeaway: Practice what you preach- agencies tend to not do this for themselves, tend to not push to build a brand with awareness and emotion.  How, as an agency, can you build a story that is beyond the services you provide?  [ ] Brad adds: We can help clients refine their product as well, based on this brand equity mindset. We see the front lines, so they need to be listening to our perspective.  “You have to decide with your own agency which clients are the right fit for you.”

We are all learning things about ourselves living with this global coronavirus pandemic. One thing I have heard a number of people say is, "I cannot believe how many times a day I touch my face." For me and my one handed life I must say it is how many things I put in my mouth and use my mouth to do things. I have become so aware of how often I use my mouth as a substitute for the left hand I do not have. We do not pay as much attention to something we do all the time until we cannot do it. Touching our face, staying inside, and keeping 6 feet apart are just a few of the things. I use my mouth to hold things, to open bags of potato chips or candy, and even to help zip up my coat. One day I realized when I was about to use my mouth to manipulate something, my one-handed life can make me more prone to get "The Rona!" Thanks for listening! I invite you to share this podcast, offer a comment or leave some feedback. Show Notes: How many times do you touch your face in a day? Noticing the things we have done so much that are no longer safe at this time. My one-handed life can make me more prone to get "The Rona!" Resources: Conoravirus Info – Global Pandemic info.
