Steve O'Dell is the Co-founder and CEO of Tenzo Tea, a DTC organic matcha tea company.

Steve's roots are deeply entrenched in entrepreneurship, and he is an investor in multiple startups, including Jibby Coffee.

In this episode… In the digital world of ecommerce, where customer satisfaction reigns supreme, increasing lifetime value (LTV) isn't a choice — it's a necessity. What can you learn from brands that have leveraged this metric to accelerate business growth? Steve O'Dell, a seasoned ecommerce growth expert, highlights the importance of providing a better customer experience to retain customers longer. Focusing on existing customers can boost ROI, so understanding and applying LTV metrics is essential. LTV measures the aggregate value of all customers, and increasing LTV impacts marketing strategies, profitability, budget allocation, and customer service expenditures. To boost LTV, Steve's company uses a variety of strategies. As a startup, Steve quickly addressed objections, tracked them through surveys, and then experimented with bundles, subscriptions, and product iterations to modify or improve products. By analyzing LTV, they were able to make adjustments and increase sales, which led the brand to increase its LTV by 50% within two years. Join host Raphael Paulin-Daigle in this episode of the Minds of Ecommerce Podcast as he interviews Steve O'Dell, the Co-founder and CEO of Tenzo Tea, on the impact of lifetime value on ecommerce growth. Steve shares Tenzo's blueprint that increased LTV by 50%, his ecommerce journey, and how to address objections head-on. This insightful conversation provides valuable takeaways for anyone looking to refine their ecommerce growth blueprint.

Mitchel is weer hard aan het flippen in deze NFT Wereld podcast!!! Natuurlijk worden daar profits gepakt die je kan bekijken in deze podcast, maar ook zien we dat hier een strategie achterzit. Namelijk om een zo hoog mogelijk airdrop te ontvangen op de Tenzo marketplace. Het grote nieuws deze week was natuurlijk de langverwachte bridge van Y00ts naar Polygon die super smooth is verlopen. In de podcast hebben we het erover hoeveel de floorprice van DeGods zou stijgen na de bridge naar ETH. Een leuk nieuwtje was de integratie van ticketmaster die tokengated NFT's aanbiedt in de vorm van tickets. Dit zou een grote stap kunnen zijn als usecase voor de daadwerkelijke integratie van NFT's. Dat en nog veel meer in de NFT Wereld podcast! Sit back, relax en pak er een lekker NFTheetje bij ;) Mitch & Joël

Tenzo Tea is considered as the Tesla of Matcha, according to Steve. It is the perfect ingredient for continuous energy without the crash and other adverse effects that coffee can cause because it is ethically sourced and uses only ceremonial matcha. Steve would drink 4-5 cups of coffee a day and feel jittery, have stomach pain, and other adverse effects as a result of the coffee. Steve also discusses the remarkable Tenzo Tea story, in which they met their source practically by accident and built a close friendship that has lasted to this day. Tenzo's development narrative and how they've been able to produce basic creatives that have yielded volumes for the bra is also a big part of DTC. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/genius-juice/support

“Whose story was I living?” - Blu Today's guest on Onken Radio is Blu, a friend I met at Arkana who is defying expectations at every turn. Blu also goes by Blu Cosmic Eagle and she served in the Royal Air Force before trying magic mushrooms for the first time and starting her journey as a curious mystic. When she learned that she would gradually lose her hearing due to an incurable hereditary disorder, she bought a guitar and went traveling with it. Now an accomplished musician, Blu had to work through her own shifting identity alchemy to reach the point she's at today where she sees her hearing loss as an invitation to listen deeper. She encourages others to turn their traumas own into their greatest gifts in her recent TEDx Talk where she shares the amazing story of how she moves through the world. In this episode, Blu explains what it looks like to live to blow your own mind. We also discuss what it was like for Blu to lose her hearing, the difference between prayer and performance, and why she wants everything in her life to be beautiful.

Robbie Page takes us on his journey from playing professional volleyball to founding Tenzo Tea, a matcha green tea company, specializing in organic and ceremonial matcha from Japan. Page takes us back to the beginning, explaining how he and co-founder Steve O'Dell came up with the idea for a matcha green tea company (3:25), which all started when they were playing collegiate volleyball together at the University of California, Los Angeles--an experience that assisted them in entrepreneurialism (10:26). Page then dives into everything there is to know about matcha green tea (13:02), including its lack of popularity when they first started the company in 2016 (14:35). He recalls bootstrapping their way through the first year of starting the company (20:38) and how they ultimately got the product into coffee shops in southern California (27:02). He talks about Tenzo's go-to-market strategies, including e-commerce (32:07), and its current mix of revenue between direct-to-consumer and wholesale distribution (40:37).

This talk continues Shohaku Okumura Roshi’s commentary on Dogen Zenji’s Tenzo Kyokun – Instructions for the Zen Cook. (Covering the third paragraph on page 37). In the previous paragraph of Tenzo Kyōkun, Dōgen said we should see things not with our common eyes, but we should see things with the dharma eye or Buddha’s eye; and here he’s saying: anyway, we do have a competitive mind. How can we use this competitive mind for our practice? First he said: “If you’re resolute in your intention and are most sincere, you will vow to be more pure-hearted than the ancients and surpass even the elders in attentiveness.” So he said that instead of competing with the contemporaries, the people around you, you should compete with the ancient masters, or elders. This is kind of a tricky thing, an interesting thing. Dōgen said when we really, sincerely want to work as a tenzo, in order to develop or improve our ability to make better dishes, somehow we need to compete; compete with ourselves and compete with others. How can we use this competitive mind to become better? Listen to the podcast for more. This talk was originally given at Sanshinji in Bloomington, IN on September 26, 2007.

This talk continues Shohaku Okumura Roshi’s commentary on Dogen Zenji’s Tenzo Kyokun – Instructions for the Zen Cook. (Covering the second paragraph on page 37). Beginning with the passage studied in this podcast, Dōgen describes the most important point in the attitude of the tenzo. The meaning of Dōgen’s admonition is very clear: don’t complain. The tenzo receives food ingredients from storage, and whatever the tenzo receives, they don’t complain, they just accept things as they are and work together with those things to make them into the best food or dish possible. But if we carefully read the expressions and sentences, what Dōgen is saying is not so simple. Of course, the meaning is to avoid “like and dislike.” But the reason for that attitude is very deep and important within the essence of Buddhist teaching. In the English translation alone, we cannot see that connection. Listen to the podcast for more. This talk was originally given at Sanshinji in Bloomington, IN on September 12, 2007.

Zen demands that we engage our everyday activities, particularly work, as spiritual practice. Few writings describe Zen work practice as well as Zen master Dogen’s “Tenzokyokun,” or “Instructions to the Tenzo” (a tenzo being the head cook in a monastery), so I’ll use this short text to frame my presentation... its teachings about taking care, serving others, appreciating everything, and becoming one with your work are relevant to everyone, no matter what your work or life circumstances.

This talk continues Shohaku Okumura Roshi’s commentary on Dogen Zenji’s Tenzo Kyokun – Instructions for the Zen Cook. (p. 36). Okumura Roshi speaks about the tenzo’s attitude toward his work in the kitchen: the importance of not judging the quality of the ingredients that are provided. Just prepare them carefully, paying attention to the three important things in cooking: quality, quantity, and timing. The tenzo’s life is at the intersection between discrimination and non-discriminating. He receives the food with no judgment and then makes determinations about the best way to use it. This is mind (as subject) and things (as object) working together as zenki – total function. This talk was originally given at Sanshinji in Bloomington, IN on September 9, 2007.

This talk continues Shohaku Okumura Roshi’s commentary on Dogen Zenji’s Tenzo Kyokun (p. 35). Okumura Roshi discusses the importance of cooking the rice carefully and returning the kitchen utensils to their appropriate places. In this way, we can study dharma in our everyday lives—by attending to and valuing things without discriminating mind. This talk was originally given at Sanshinji in Bloomington, IN on June 20, 2007.

Kunagi Peter Carl Faberge poolt Vene tsaari jaoks valmistatud väärismetallist pühademunad on juba üle sajandi kõrgeima luksuse sümboliks ja ülirikaste ihaldusobjektiks, mille hindu suudavad tasuda ainult oligarhid Venemaal ja Araabia sheikid. Reisirada teeb reisi sellesse säravasse maailma, kuhu mahuvad Tenzo juveelimaja erilised ehted, suurima eksperdi Valentin Skurlovi selgitused, Tiina Ojaste munadest intuitsiooni saanud maalid ja Toomas Kuteri poolt Pärnu Faberge Ballile kutsutud maailmalavade artistid, kelle esitlusi võis kuulata ja näha ühel ööl Pärnu kontserdimajas.
