Send us a textAbout This EpisodeShawn Nelson, founder and CEO of the Lovesac Company, defines boldness as a state of mind that is as constant as we push ourselves to make it. He maintains his bold edge by deliberately seeking situations that challenge him. When faced with seemingly impossible vertical climbs, in dirt biking and in real life, he applies his philosophy: "If it has been done, it can be done. And why not me?" This same mindset helped him transform a simple beanbag chair into a publicly-traded company now worth billions. What makes Shawn's journey particularly valuable is his transparency about struggle. He openly shares Lovesac's bankruptcy experience, which he calls his "MBA in a box," and shares so many of the other lessons he has learned in his latest book, Let Me Save You 25 Years. Shawn also challenges listeners to be bold enough to be honest about what truly motivates them, rather than pursuing status symbols or others' definitions of success. Tune in for an inspiring episode that will encourage you to make you own bold path forward.  About Shawn NelsonShawn D. Nelson is the author of the best-selling book Let Me Save You 25 Years: Mistakes, Miracles, and Lessons from the Lovesac Story. He is the founder and CEO of the Lovesac Company, which designs, manufactures, and sells such furniture as modular couches and bean bag chairs. Nelson holds a BA in Mandarin Chinese from the University of Utah and a Master's degree in Strategic Design and Management from Parsons, The New School for Design in New York City, where he later became an instructor. Additional ResourcesWebsite: shawndnelson.comInstagram: @shawnoflovesacLinkedIn: @ShawnDNelsonCheck Out His Book, Let Me Save You 25 YearsSupport the show-------- Stay Connected www.leighburgess.com Watch the episodes on YouTube Follow Leigh on Instagram: @theleighaburgess Follow Leigh on LinkedIn: @LeighBurgess Sign up for Leigh's bold newsletter

Guest: Amanda Sloop, AuD., CCC-A - This episode explores the clinical research progress, from the spark of a question to study design, subject recruitment, writing/analysis, and eventually conference submission and publication.

Co-Founder of Deem Journal, designer Nu Goteh was born in Liberia and came to the US with his family as a refugee at the age of 3. His first career ambition, as a model son of African parents, was to become a doctor / lawyer. But as a sneakerhead, skater, and early-adopter of the internet, he kept making opportunities for himself in marketing, promoting, and graphic design. He even landed a job at Puma while he was only a Sophomore in college. After successful roles at Red Bull and Sonos, he was comfortable in his talent for adding value and creating desirability for brands, but uncomfortable with being fast-tracked to the top of “cool black guy stuff,” a pigeon-hole that felt too small for his aspirations and skills. So he went back to school for a Master's in Strategic Design and Management. Now, as a founding principal of Room For Magic, Nu is using his unique talents to address complex creative challenges and facilitate equitable exchange between brands and communities. As if that weren't enough, Nu along with Marquise Stillwell and Alice Grandoit (his partner at Room for Magic), have founded Deem Journal, a deeply thought-provoking publication centered on design as a social practice. Now, with issue 3 Envisioning Equity, recently released, Deem is leading the way in presenting meaningful narratives around the process of design, and helping us all grow, heal, and imagine new possibilities in the process.

On this week's episode on the show, Travis is flying solo as Josiah is returning from his trip to Sweden. However, he was able to get a last minute guest to agree to come on the podcast and share his knowledge of branding and design. Andy Zenz of Robots Love Balloons has been helping people with strategic branding through purposeful graphic design for over 15 years. He is a wealth of knowledge and even helped Travis design the packaging for his most successful private label product several years back. The discussion covers a lot of ground, but a theme that seems to weave throughout the interview is the contrast between "quality" and "quantity" when it comes to print on demand. While there is room for both, it's a valuable question to ponder as you move forward in your POD business.

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Chandler Vannoy are joined by Dave Milam who serves as the Vice President of Strategic Design at Visioneering Studios. With over 20 years of experience serving churches as well as non-profits, Dave brings a vast level of experience when it comes to helping people create places that not only look visually appealing design-wise but also educates on how your building can communicate your unique vision and story. They also discuss the unique challenges facing churches today when it comes to utilizing their meeting spaces and Dave shares how church leaders can take their space from where they are to where they want to be. BEST QUOTES “You should be able to look at a church and tell what they value. But you can also look at the building and know what they're trying to value.” – Dave Milam “I think the things that the American church values right now is very different than what we valued 20 years ago. The buildings we're living in right now were created 20 years ago. There is this tension that we're wrestling with where 20 years ago, we valued the Sunday morning experience where everybody came in and the building was designed to flip services so seats would be opened back up and parking spaces would free up as well.” – Dave Milam “We're great at saying stuff. But eventually you have to deliver on the dream that you just presented. It's great to say this is our value, but how does that value live itself out in the environment and the hallways?” – Dave Milam “A lot of churches are being very intentional about meeting places for conversation to take place. They usually have space for kids, they have the space for seating in the auditorium, but where are the people going to pause and have a 15-minute conversation? We want those to happen because if they can have those conversations, they are more likely to connect to a small group or go grab lunch with somebody. At that point, they are engaging with the church.” – Dave Milam “If you look at the most engaging environments in your community, a lot of times they have great engaging outdoor spaces. Whether it's the restaurants with the outdoor porch or the coffee shop, they are intentional about what's happening between the parking lot and the building. Those spaces, believe it or not, per square foot amount of money it takes to build those spaces are super small compared to the cost of building a new building. Double your lobby by being intentional about outdoor spaces.” – Dave Milam “One of the critical mistakes that we see lots of churches across the country making is that they have their building, and they're like, there's no possible way that this building could be cool or functional. So, their initial gut reaction is to build new, start over, and trash the whole thing. My favorite projects are the ones where we have limitations, and we get to create great space out of current constraints. Those end up being the coolest and most unique places.” – Dave Milam RECOMMENDED RESOURCES A Beautiful Constraint by Mark Barden and Adam Morgan Visioneering Studios

This week's featured guest is Stacia Service, Co-Founder & Design Director of Magenta Creative.After transitioning from agency life in Minneapolis to working from home (pre-pandemic), Stacia realized she wanted to return to her entrepreneurial roots. So when some friends got together and suggested they start an agency of their own, she was all in! Not only did she love the freedom and stability that only an agency model could provide but she also worked collaboratively with her team to craft a design-first strategy. Today, Stacia leads her team in efficient brand positioning and research that gets to the heart of each unique client's visual marketing needs. In this episode, Stacia shares her design secrets and processes every designer can use to take their work to the next level. Get ready to be inspired! Guest Bio:An entrepreneur at heart, Stacia came from a family that always encouraged her to be a leader and find creative solutions to everyday challenges. Stacia draws her creativity from brands that inspire her but she gets most of her inspiration from walking around on her farm located just outside of Minneapolis. When Stacia first left her previous design agency life in the city she dove headfirst into freelancing from home long before COVID came around and made it the norm. She realized she loved her work but not the obstacles presented by freelancing so she combined her powers with other creatives to form her very own agency. Today, Stacia enjoys building high ROI design strategies and perusing the various vintage shops around her rural town. Key Takeaways:We learn the exact steps Stacia's team uses to prepare spot-on design strategies.Stacia shares her insight into streamlining creative processes. We discuss the importance of collaborative client research. Want to create a tailor made strategy without months of research? Stacia tells all about how she and her team pull it all together. We discover what happens when creatives have the confidence to put their experience together and transform an industry from within.

How do you define yourself? It's a question a lot of us will wrestle with at some point in life, and according to Raven L. Veal, PhD, understanding the answer to this is a critical part of design. She speaks from experience, too -- as both a design lecturer and a strategic design lead, she definitely did not get to this level of success without understanding her truth at a deep level.We started off with a brief introduction about her work at Citi Ventures, and then explored her lecture work at the University of Texas and what she learns from her students. Raven also talked about her mom as her source of creative inspiration, and shared her thoughts on design research, future tech, the role of art, moral imagination, and spirituality in designing technology. Trailblazers like Raven definitely let me know that we're in good hands for the future!LinksRaven L. Veal, PhD's WebsiteRaven L. Veal, PhD on LinkedInRaven L.

Co-Founder of Deem Journal, designer Nu Goteh was born in Liberia and came to the US with his family as a refugee at the age of 3. His first career ambition, as a model son of African parents, was to become a doctor / lawyer. But as a sneakerhead, skater, and early-adopter of the internet, he kept making opportunities for himself in marketing, promoting, and graphic design. He even landed a job at Puma while he was only a Sophomore in college. After successful roles at Red Bull and Sonos, he was comfortable in his talent for adding value and creating desirability for brands, but uncomfortable with being fast-tracked to the top of “cool black guy stuff,” a pigeon-hole that felt too small for his aspirations and skills. So he went back to school for a Master's in Strategic Design and Management. Now, as a founding principal of Room For Magic, Nu is using his unique talents to address complex creative challenges and facilitate equitable exchange between brands and communities. As if that weren't enough, Nu along with Marquise Stillwell and Alice Grandoit (his partner at Room for Magic), have founded Deem Journal, a deeply thought-provoking publication centered on design as a social practice. Now, with issue 3 Envisioning Equity, recently released, Deem is leading the way in presenting meaningful narratives around the process of design, and helping us all grow, heal, and imagine new possibilities in the process.
