Today I've got on Jordo Mederich. Jordo is a husband, father, and business owner. Jordo is the founder of DropFunnels, which is an all-in-one marketing solution to get you online with a website in minutes. I wanted to have a discussion with Jordo because his approach to balancing entrepreneurship and fatherhood is one that I agree with, and I was curious as to how he can find that balance. All of us, whether you are a business owner or not, are looking for some type of freedom and flexibility so that we can be with our families as much as possible. And yet, we also have this other side of us that wants to achieve and excel in the workplace - and finding the balance between these two is usually messy business. Today Jordo and I talk about his journey to becoming an entrepreneur as a father, some of the lessons he has learned along the way, and how we can strike that balance between being a high performer and a great father.

Discipline, routines, habits, and self development are key to growth. And growth enables you to show up as a better person than you were before. But sometimes we can take it to the extreme - sacrificing family time to “pour into ourselves”. At the end of the day - our job as Dads is to sacrifice what is important to us for what is important to the family. You need to be “filling up your cup” so that you can show up for your family, but never at the expense of your family. Today we talk through one strategy called “dad hours” to help put a frame around personal development as a Dad.

On today's episode we've got on Andrew Michinard. Andrew is a partner in the company Trybe Labs. Trybe was founded to make measuring your blood simple and effective. They run diagnostic tests on your body to address the causes of poor output and suggest a supplemental response to optimize performance. They give you the tools to up your game in all areas of everyday life. I first connected with Andrew a couple of months back, after having a terrible experience with a traditional doctor's office trying to get my bloodwork analyzed. I knew there had to be a better way to track my most important levels - and struck up a relationship with Andrew. When we're in our 20's, we hardly ever think about our health… but now that we are Dads, our focus shifts to longevity - ensuring we are going to be around for years to come for our family. Knowing your vital health metrics, like cortisol, DHEA, and testosterone ensures that you can take a proactive approach and take charge of your overall health. Today, Andrew and I talk about: The importance of focusing on health longevity for Dads What key health metrics we should be tracking Why testosterone levels in men have dropped and what we can do about it How making time for yourself first is so important Check out Trybe Labs on Instagram HERE.

With a diverse background as an electrical engineer and investor, Troy LeMaile-Stovall leads TEDCO, the State of Maryland's early-stage technology investing organization. Troy discusses how TEDCO seeks to help early-stage entrepreneurs overcome their natural shortages in time, talent, and treasure.
Key takeaways: --Your limit to opportunities is your own mindset. --Founders should build their network consistently over time. It will help you understand the fundraising journey, and bring you honest feedback about how long the journey will take. --Early stage investors are "founder evaluators" more so than "business evaluators". Help them believe you have the network, skills, grit, intelligence and flexibility it takes to get you to the Series B and beyond. Mac Concell - Rarebreed Ventures Mckeever E.

Anyone who has ever cut their finger while cutting or chopping food may want to thank RJ Batts, the 15-year-old inventor of Tip Tough®, a simple and inexpensive way to protect professional chefs and home cooks from injury. When RJ was 12, he became consumed with the idea that there had to be a way to help his dad, a professional chef, protect his hands. Bob would often come home with painful cuts and bandaged fingers which sometimes kept him out of work. A year later, 3-D printouts in hand, RJ was accepted into the Young Entrepreneurs Academy at the Salisbury (MD) Area Chamber of Commerce and formed his company, Picklehead LLC. For months he went to classes and on field trips after school, learning how to set up a business, find funding, craft a pitch, and bring the Tip Tough® to market – all while attending middle school and playing on his soccer team. In October 2016, RJ received start-up funding from the Shore Hatchery Competition at Salisbury University (beating out grown-ups from 30 businesses) for a Second-Place award of $15,000. Then, TEDCo awarded Picklehead the Rural Business Innovation Grant for the design and prototype phase of the Pro Chef Tip Tough® in stainless steel and the Home Chef Tip Tough® in molded plastic. In March 2017, RJ was featured as the youngest inventor to present a product at the International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago, and was chosen to pitch to Home Shopping Network. Since then, he has brought his product through the manufacturing and packaging process while honing his skills as an entrepreneur by attending the inaugural HSN’s American Dreams Academy. RJ’s business is driven by 3 core values: Families and friends should be able to get into the kitchen and prepare, fresh healthy meals safely. Food is love and memories are priceless. Our products will be made in the USA because we believe in local jobs for local people. Give back to the community by encouraging students to invent and start their own businesses. RJ speaks at local schools and career fairs and works with the Young Entrepreneurs Academy, Junior Achievement, Halo, and the MD Food Bank. tip-tough.myshopify.com The Inventors Launchpad – Roadmap to Success Series is presented by Inventors Launchpad in beautiful Tampa Bay, FL and hosted by Carmine Denisco.

On this episode of Bootstrapped, we talk football with Grip Boost founders Matt Furstenburg and Chanda Arya. As a former NFL player, Matt was familiar with the shortcomings of football gloves. After receiving half a million dollars in seed funding through organizations such as TEDCO and VOLT, the founders iterated for almost 2 years. With NFL's enormous budget, they appeared the segment to target. Instead, Matt focused on the less famous segment of sports teams—high school athletics, which makes up 95% of the market. Five years later, Grip Boost is sold in 70 stores across the US, selling apparel for football, baseball and golf.
TEDCO is one of the most successful examples of how governments can participate in the business of startup companies. In this episode we talk about what TEDCO is, what they do, and the plans for the future of startups in Maryland.
