Today on DWB, I'm joined by Liz Giorgi, Co-Founder and CEO of Soona Studios, the world's first virtual content studio, helping e-commerce merchants sell more online. For early-stage e-commerce brands, organizing photo shoots can be a pain in the ass, between selecting a location, having the right equipment, and moving products. What I like about Soona, is not only do they offer fresh and affordable photo and video content, but due to the thousands of brands they're currently working with, they have data and insights on best practices for sales and website conversion, which Liz and I discuss on the show, along with the future of the E-Commerce in general. Whether you're an e-commerce brand or not, you can learn a lot from Liz on marketing, branding, and how to think about content creation.Be sure to subscribe to the Dog Whistle Brand Newsletter on Substack here: www.dogwhistlebranding.comOrder my book, “Black Veteran Entrepreneur” here: https://amzn.to/3gme7kgLearn more about Soona Studios here:  https://soona.co/

Way back in 2008, when I had my stationery brand I purchased a light box off of Amazon, borrowed my sister's DSLR camera and spent hours reading photography tutorials on blogs to learn how to use the camera and to get ideas for what my shot list should include! When I say hours, I literally mean dozens of hours were spent trying to learn how to take product photos that would make my brand look polished & professional. And, the results… Well, they were ok.  Not great, but ok.   Then in 2010, I hired a professional photographer to take product photos for me. It was a big investment for my small business but I knew that if I had stronger photography, that I would likely sell more of my product and it would give me content to post on social media. Even with the professional photographer, there were still several aspects of the shoot that I was responsible for like a shot list, styling, and making sure we got everything shot that we needed. I remember feeling a lot of pressure to get it right, because I was investing a lot of time and money into this photo shoot. Fast forward to today and thankfully there is a less expensive & convenient way for you to get your products photographed, styled and edited by professionals. Meet soona, a creative technology company that helps over 15,000 commerce brands with photo and video production.  They are disrupting the industry with their innovative services, creative process, and use of technology. Today's guest is Rikin Diwan, who handles sales & marketing at soona. We're talking about their scaleable creative process and how soona is alleviating pain points for ecommerce brands that need digital assets to sell more of their products. If you've struggled with product photography… this episode is for you. Today's episode is brought to you by our Email Marketing For Product Makers guide.

Ameen Sayani is a popular former radio announcer from India. He achieved fame and popularity all across the Indian Subcontinent when he presented his Binaca Geetmala program of hits over the airwaves of Radio Ceylon.[1] He is one of the most imitated announcers even today. His style of addressing the crowd with "Behno aur Bhaiyo " (meaning "sisters and brothers") as against the traditional "Bhaiyo aur Bahno" is still treated as an announcement with a melodious touch. He has produced, compered (or spoken for) over 54,000 radio programmes and 19,000 spots/jingles since 1951.

In this second ESG takeover episode, Dr. Mairi-Jane Fox, who helps lead ESG at Techstars, talks with Soona CEO and Co-Founder Liz Giorgi and UN-sponsored Principles for Responsible Investment Head of Private Equity Peter Dunbar about different aspects of engaging with investors, including investor diligence, transparent conversations, and discussing ESG practices.First, Liz Giorgi explains the development of the candor clause, and how it benefits startup founders regardless of their identity. The candor clause helps facilitate open, honest conversations about investors' practices, and ultimately allows founders to make informed decisions about who they are taking money from.“That kinda conversation is unparalleled in terms of building a better relationship with that investor and just really understanding who you're going into business with in the long run,” Liz Giorgi said.Then, listen as Peter describes what it means for venture capital firms and investors when they become signatories of the UN PRI. Among other requirements, signatories generally work toward implementing six principles for ESG and responsible investing which founders can consider when pitching to them“Given the requirements of being a signatory and the principles themselves, VC signatories should really be looking to engage with startups and founders on ESG topics and be actively considering them in their investment decision-making processes,” Peter said.Follow Liz Giorgi on Twitter @lizgiorgiListen & subscribe to the Give First podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more.

Picture this, you're looking to launch a Shopify store for your new product. You sign onto Shopify to set things up, only to realize you have a huge problem you have 0 photos. That's where Soona comes in. Instead of having to do it yourself, Soona takes the stress away. You ship your products to their studio, you join a remote video call, and you only have to buy the assets you like. Photos, videos, and gifs. They've got you covered. In today's episode we are talking with Liz Giorgi, the co-founder of Soona about how they have a waitlist of over 3,000 photographers ready to work with them, the similarity between Soona and Goop, and why she secretly considers herself a witch.

Liz Giorgi got her feet wet bootstrapping her first company. After getting that business acquired she has gone on to launch a fast-growing venture-backed startup that has already raised tens of millions of dollars. Her latest company, Soona has attracted investment from top-tier financiers like Bain Capital Ventures, Union Square Ventures, Square Ventures, and Matchstick Ventures.

Liz Giorgi is a two-time media entrepreneur who challenges the norm. She is Co-Founder and CEO of Soona, a same-day photo and video studio designed to help brands get professional content for less than the price of stock. Previously, she started Mighteor, a production company that was one of the first in the country to provide online video strategy to brands as large as Facebook and U.S. Bank. Giorgi is an Emmy award winner, advocate for women in business, and recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30.  Chapter Summaries0:42 - Introducing Liz4:54 - Creating Soona8:14 - Solving a Problem12:01 - Virtual Photo Shoot Tour15:54 - Dream to IPO17:47 - Big Mistakes & Big DreamsResource LinksSoona.coLiz Giorgi Instagram |   Liz Giorgi LinkedIn Soona LinkedIn   |   Soona Instagram   CONNECT WITH MILLION DOLLAR MONDAY!Follow us on Instagram | Follow us on YouTubeKey TakeawaysWe both just said to each other, there's something undeniable about how much more impact we could have, and we took the leap and started working on selling my first business. We applied to Techstars, which is a technology accelerator. We were accepted to Techstars Boulder. And as the ball kept rolling down the hill, we launched our product in the world. And you know, I'm incredibly proud of that decision, but boy, oh boy, it was scary.We've really decided to turn everything on its head and say, we want it to be as easy as anything else that you do online and take away all these extra decisions that distract businesses from being able to just focus on what matters the most, which is making their product look its best.And so I went about that process, very naive, but learned very quickly that it's very much about convincing people that your version of the future is going to be real.We believe we're building the fastest and most affordable way to create professional content online. We have seen data that says that as much as 97% of the purchase decision comes down to a picture. And so it is really the most important asset. I like to say, it's the equivalent of making a photographic first impression for every single one of your product.

Soona believes that crypto is making meaningful advancements, especially over the past year. Volt is capitalizing on this movement by investing in diverse, innovative founders who recognize the future value of crypto around the globe.

In this week's episode, I speak with Soona Amhaz of Volt Capital. Soona saw the value of crypto from very close when her family lost most of their savings after Lebanon's currency crashed. She immediately told them to move their money to Bitcoin to protect themselves against further currency devaluation and currency controls. She was working on a startup as an engineer while trying to learn about bitcoin and onboard others into the space, and she realized there was very little information about crypto. So she decided to start the newsletter called Token Daily. The newsletter went from being a network of information to a network of people thanks to live events. That's how she got to meet great teams building interesting projects in crypto and see their progress before anyone else did. When she saw big funds come in and invest in the projects she also knew had potential, she realized she had an edge and decided to start her own fund, Volt Capital.

What does it take to build a great business? What sort of leadership do prosperous companies have? How do you stay inspired and stay focused as an entrepreneur? Would it be better to offer more products/services or stay focused on providing the product/service that you do best? As an entrepreneur, these puzzling questions may flash through your mind from time to time. Liz Giorgi, Founder and CEO of both Mighteor and Soona, has contemplated those very questions herself and shares her wisdom on this episode of Industry Alchemist. But first, before you listen, let's give you a little background about Liz's companies. Mighteor creates highly impactful custom video ads; conceivably containing a script, actors, animation, music, and set at a desired location. Mighteor blends the best of every detail together to create a very well-polished ad. For a more casual, custom ad, requiring a swift turnaround that is also affordable, containing skilled photography within the studio or a less formal video production; Soona can get it done in 24 hours and the customer can direct the production from the comfort of their own office! For more information about Mighteor and Soona, please visit mighteor.com and Soona.co. Note: Industry Alchemist is working to comply with city mandates to help slow the spread of COVID-19. This episode was created on 4/2/20 with a Zoom call, rather than our usual in-person interviews using podcast equipment.

Too long; Didn't Listen - • Don't be a jerk. • We aren't responsible for other people's feelings. • If you have to choose between making someone uncomfortable & telling them what you believe to be true, speak the truth. • Open discourse, no matter how "toxic," is preferable to back room political fighting. • These are the consequences of freedom of speech. The threads in question, plus one I only found after recording the episode (unfortunately) by @TheBlueMatt that's related to the discussion. @soonaorlater (Soona) https://twitter.com/soonaorlater/status/1131985122238971904 @nwoodfine (Neil Woodfine) https://twitter.com/nwoodfine/status/1132138203769581568 @TheBlueMatt (Matt Corallo) https://twitter.com/TheBlueMatt/status/1133040768531214338 https://twitter.com/TheBlueMatt/status/988835275605504000 @Excellion (Samson Mow) https://twitter.com/Excellion/status/1133656769538904065 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitcoinaudible/message

Liz Giorgi founded Mighteor, one of the first video production companies focused on creating content for the Internet. With clients including Facebook and the NFL, Mighteor has helped businesses achieve more than 500 million organic views and receive international attention. Now, the Emmy award winning Giorgi is launching a second business called Soona—a same-day photo and video production studio. “It came from years of listening to our customers—whether it’s Facebook or a small liquor store, they all had this problem: they can’t scale content affordably or quickly…We took every idea we had about production turned it on its head and said it’s not impossible to do this in a day.” Described as the Kinko's of content, Soona recently opened in Denver and Minneapolis. Giorgi wants to take it global. “We can completely change the game for how content is made; make it accessible to any brand at any time.” But Giorgi didn’t intend to be an entrepreneur. When she couldn’t find a newsroom job after graduating from journalism school in 2007, she landed a freelance gig with Apartment Therapy and started learning digital content creation. She spent two years at an agency managing web strategy for clients and also helped the University of Minnesota take video to YouTube. Her combined experiences in storytelling, social media and client work led to the creation of Mighteor in 2013. The company now has 15 employees and offices in Minneapolis and Denver. Giorgi talks about her evolution from filmmaker to business leader and how she stepped away, two years in, to learn the difference between a P&L and a balance sheet. She also talks about influencers and the power of social media marketing. “If a brand thinks we have these social channels just to sell, they’re missing the greater opportunity, which is to build trust with an audience and develop a community around your organization.” Having recently completed the Tory Burch Foundation Fellows Program, Giorgi reveals the advice that resonated most as she seeks investors for Soona. “You can never take too long to ensure that someone’s money is the right money for your business,” Tory Burch told Giorgi. After our conversation with Giorgi, we go Back to the Classroom with University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business entrepreneurship professor John McVea and talk about the misconception that business founders are either creative or practical. “A lot of inspiration for creativity comes from constraints,” McVea says. On the flip side, he says, “It’s perfectly possible for people with business training to become part of the creative process.”

Soona Amhaz, founder of Token Daily, thinks sometimes people should ebb and sometimes people should flow. And whether you should start a company depends on the direction of your tide. Soona and Tony discuss media as an important form of leverage, generating serendipity by making things, the ebb and flow of careers, and super chickens (?).
