In this episode of The Entrepreneurial You, host Heneka Watkis-Porter is joined by serial entrepreneur, award-winning filmmaker, published author, and tech startup expert Jason Sherman. As the founder and CEO of Bingo AI and Vengo AI, Jason shares how creativity, storytelling, and perseverance are vital for startup success—especially when launching a tech venture without venture capital. Storytelling in Filmmaking and Startups Jason draws parallels between filmmaking and entrepreneurship, pointing out that both require you to build a narrative that resonates with a specific audience. Whether it's a movie or a product, the story behind it matters. He explains that his journey began as a young programmer selling products in school, which laid the groundwork for his ventures today. According to Jason, storytelling helps attract investors and customers alike—especially when it's backed by relatable experiences and data-driven results. Avoiding Common Pitfalls in Bootstrapping Jason and Heneka delve into common mistakes new entrepreneurs make when bootstrapping. A major one, Jason notes, is building too much too soon without proper validation. He urges founders to test concepts first and let market feedback lead the way. While intuition has its place, he believes data should always have the final say. Jason reminds listeners that real success stems from understanding what people truly need—not what we think they need. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • Why storytelling is crucial for both filmmaking and entrepreneurship • The most common mistakes first-time startup founders make • How to validate a product idea before launching • Why chasing tech trends can hurt your startup • The role of AI in boosting innovation and human evolution • Key strategies for building a startup without venture capital • The importance of ethical considerations in AI product development COMMUNITY CONNECTION: Now it's time for our Community Connection segment!

From accelerators to corporate venture capital, most startup support structures fail to deliver. Investor and entrepreneur Andrew Ackerman explains why — and what founders and corporates should do instead. With over 70 investments and hundreds of founders mentored, Andrew brings rare perspective from both sides of the table. Andrew is a serial entrepreneur who has founded two companies, led an accelerator, and now advises startups, VCs and corporates. He's also the author of The Entrepreneur's Odyssey — a novel-style guide to what startup life really feels like. You will learn: Why most accelerators fail: Discover how many support programs offer flashy promises without delivering tangible outcomes like revenue or pilot deals. Rethinking venture capital: Understand why fundraising is often pursued for validation rather than strategic fit — and why most startups don't necessarily need VC money.

In der neuen Folge von Wirtschaft Düsseldorf unplugged spricht Andrea Greuner mit Marco Andersen, Mitgründer von Qualimero.com, über die Arbeitswelt von morgen – und darüber, wie KI-Mitarbeitende heute schon zentrale Prozesse in Service, Vertrieb und Beratung übernehmen. Was vor wenigen Jahren noch Zukunftsmusik war, ist bei Qualimero.com bereits Realität: KI-Mitarbeitende, die nicht nur Aufgaben automatisieren, sondern eigenständig kommunizieren, Entscheidungen treffen und die Kundenschnittstelle neu gestalten – effizient, skalierbar und intelligent. Im Gespräch geht es um: ✅ Wie aus einer mutigen Idee ein Tech-Startup mit echten Kunden und rasantem Wachstum wurde. ✅ Welche Rolle Förderung und frühes Marktfeedback beim Aufbau von Qualimero.com gespielt haben. ✅ Warum KI-Mitarbeitende mehr als Tools sind – nämlich aktive, lernende Teammitglieder. ✅ Und wie sich Unternehmen aufstellen müssen, um diese Zukunft jetzt zu nutzen. Marco Andersen gibt Einblicke in die Gründungsreise, teilt seine Learnings und zeichnet ein Bild von einer Zukunft, in der menschliche Kreativität und künstliche Intelligenz Hand in Hand arbeiten.

I think I'll start my own thing.”Now she runs Benandanti Consulting, helping early-stage startups grow without turning into soul-sucking corporate machines.

What if lasting success isn't about what you achieve—but who you become? In this powerful episode, host Nicole Jansen sits down with Rusty Rueff—renowned tech executive, startup advisor, philanthropist, and co-author of Faith Code—to explore how inner purpose and spiritual identity provide the only truly unshakable foundation for life and leadership. Drawing from two decades of reflection, Rusty shares a compelling metaphor: Are you building your life on a solid platform (faith, values, purpose), or just stacking up flashy but fragile apps (titles, possessions, roles)?

It's not a noun—it's a verb.” “Everything fades… except your spirit.

Tonya Cassidy has been a middle school teacher near Piedmont, North Carolina, for her whole career — and she loves her students. But on the side? She's been running Appaloosa Artisans, her furniture restoration business, creating seriously gorgeous pieces for her clients. And now, with retirement on the horizon, Tonya's getting ready to take her furniture business full-time — which is kind of wild considering how unexpected this whole path was. But if you've seen her work on Instagram, you'd swear this was always the plan.

A Tech-Startup and a GI Giant Just Redefined Clinical ResearchWhat happens when the largest GI practice in the country partners with a digital-native startup?You get more than scale. You get a radical redesign of how clinical research works—where trials no longer live on the sidelines of care, but at its very center. On The Scope Forward Show, Dr. Jonathan Ng (Founder & CEO, Iterative Health) and Dr. Casey Chapman (CMO, GI Alliance) announced a first-of-its-kind alliance:→ 80 research sites across the globe→ A shared platform for trial execution at the point of care→ And a vision to restore agency to physicians while unlocking equitable access for patients“It's not about trial volume. It's about raising the standard of care through research.”– Dr. Jonathan Ng“If this was just about ROI, we wouldn't be here. This is about building the future—with physicians, for patients.”– Dr. Casey ChapmanThis isn't a financial partnership. It's a systemic intervention—two years in the making—that breaks through recruitment bottlenecks, removes operational friction, and makes GI a launchpad for drug innovation. I'm excited about this announcement because it signals a shift not just for the organizations involved but for GI at large.Top 10 Highlights:A Historic Alliance: The world's largest GI research network is here—80 sites and growing.Two Years in the Making: What started as “what if” became a deeply aligned mission.Research Where Care Happens: Clinical trials integrated into community-based care.Choosing a Startup: GI Alliance chose Iterative Health for their patient-first, flexible approach.Beyond Tech: Iterative learned that tools alone can't solve broken systems.Focus on IBD & Liver: Targeting the conditions that matter most to real-world GI patients.Success = Empowerment: The goal is a generation of research-empowered GIs.Advice for Startups: Lead with listening, not just tech.Why Scope Forward: A platform aligned with values of physician empowerment.It Was Always About People: Partnership success came from shared priorities—not profit motives.

Omar Alvarez is on a mission to reinvent how we connect—by bringing storytelling back to the heart of technology. With his startup KINNECT, he's doing exactly that—creating a platform that helps people share their life stories, from past experiences to future dreams, in a way that's meaningful, inclusive, and easy to use. Not only has he secured support for his vision, but he's now poised to disrupt an outdated market and drive innovation, building a fresh space where technology meets human connection. With professional experience at some of the world's most iconic storytelling brands like Nike, Levi's, Hilton, and Hims and Hers, Omar brings a unique blend of creative expertise and personal passion to every piece of the KINNECT experience Creating Connections at Work KINNECT creates social spaces for people to connect and drive belonging, whether with your family, friends, or team at work. Each environment is hyper-personalized.  One big challenge–and opportunity–in the marketplace is creating connections in the workforce. How do you feel like you belong when you work remotely or never see the higher-ups? Employees want to know about the people they work with, who their executives are, and who's responsible for big decisions at the company. To be effective at work, you have to feel like you're part of a team. KINNECT is hoping to help bridge that gap. Securing Funding In the beginning, the thought of raising capital was daunting for Omar. The odds were stacked against him. But he didn't let the odds hold him back. At the end of the day, investors are just people. Omar shares his story and the mission behind KINNECT (which was partly inspired by the death of his grandfather), and the right people connect with the product. Some people have told Omar it's unprofessional to share personal stories, but he knows it's important for investors to believe in the founder–and that means being authentic to who he is. To date, he's raised over $400,000 in funding. Enjoy this episode with Omar Alvarez… Soundbytes 6:32-6:43 “I really want to think about all the beautiful and cool things about social media and ways of connection today, but I want to cherry-pick what I like about them and then build a complete opposite direction.”  28:52-29:06 “I was like, All right, I have this amount of money. I have this big vision. How am I going to build an AI that is not going to change the algorithm to focus on behaviors for purchasing, but instead, how can I use the algorithm to actually help people?” Quotes “How do you feel like you belong at work when there's such little information and little ways of actually driving belonging besides like a random Slack huddle?” “To be effective at work, you have to feel like you're part of a team.” “Investors are also people. They should definitely look at the needs for business growth. But why not let someone who is Latino, first-generation, English as a second language? Why can't I just act that way too in building a company that is venture scalable?” Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://www.kinnect.club/ Connect with Omar Alvarez on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heraldalvarez/ Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?

Meet Brandon Davis, the college senior who's turning the collections industry on its head with his AI startup, Interval. While most of his classmates are polishing resumes and stressing over job applications, Brandon is running a growing tech company with multiple employees—all before graduation day.Brandon's entrepreneurial journey began early, watching Shark Tank with his father and seeing ordinary people building extraordinary businesses. From selling fidget spinners to classmates to running a landscaping service as a teenager, his path to founding Interval was paved with the hustle that defines true entrepreneurs. After cycling through nearly 20 different startup ideas during a university incubator program, Brandon and his co-founder landed on a solution that businesses were actually willing to pay for: automated collections.What makes Interval AI fascinating isn't just the technology—it's the problem it solves. Every business struggles with accounts receivable at some point, whether it's from expired credit cards, forgetful customers, or those deliberately avoiding payment. Traditional collection methods are expensive, inefficient, and frankly, nobody wants to make those awkward calls. Interval's AI automation tackles this universal pain point, delivering results at a fraction of the cost of human collection efforts.Perhaps the most thought-provoking aspect of Brandon's story is his perspective on risk. While conventional wisdom paints entrepreneurship as the risky path and traditional employment as secure, Brandon argues the opposite. In an economy where recent graduates might submit hundreds of job applications before landing a position, building your own business offers a different kind of security—one where you control your destiny rather than hoping to survive the next round of corporate layoffs.Whether you're a seasoned business owner looking to improve cash flow or an aspiring entrepreneur searching for inspiration, Brandon's journey demonstrates that success comes to those willing to persist through failures and pivot until they find what works.
