The Most Important Question: Ask “Why” Before Starting a Business

Practical Wisdoms

In our new podcast, we spoke with Thom King, a serial entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of Steviva. After finding success in his own businesses, he explains why asking yourself “why” is so vital before launching your organization. Thom King is an entrepreneur, author, and self-described ‘bio-hacker.' He has made it his life's work to study food science and use his knowledge to help people. Thom is perhaps best known as the founder and CEO of Steviva, one of the largest importers, manufacturers, and distributors of clean-label sweetening systems and natural sweeteners. He founded Steviva as a way to effectively help combat metabolic disease and the “diabesity” (his self-coined term) epidemic in this country by offering clean-label sweetening systems to replace sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup. Thom's ultimate goal is to also develop an online learning center to share his knowledge and fortune by establishing a foundation dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs engaged in new advances in dietary health and wellness.Thom started his businesses – including Steviva – by asking himself a simple but invaluable question: “why?” At Petite2Queen, we often tout how important it is to know your customer's “why,” but how does this concept translate to entrepreneurship? Thom reveals why this question is so important to ask yourself when developing a business. As he explains, you need to know your true motivations when starting a business. Your motivation will determine your success, because it will make the difference between how much effort into it. Further, people can see right through flimsy motivations. Do you just want to get rich? Or do you want to truly help the world? As Thom has said, his business isn't simply something he does for a living; it's a testament to who he is and how he lives his life. He reveals how he enacts this belief in his day-to-day work, as well as how it translates for larger projects. His advice is actionable, and implementing it in your own life can lead to greater successes. While it's clearly important to ask why, there are other things you need to know, too. What are some of the most common mistakes that people make when starting a business, and how can we avoid them? How do we fix things if we make one of these mistakes? In Thom's opinion, this is no such thing as a mistake. The mindset that sees things as “mistakes” can be a harmful one. Instead, retrain your mind to look at this as an opportunity to pivot and fine-tune. From here, Thom then shares some of the key habits and mindsets that entrepreneursneed to be successful. How can we cultivate these ways of being? Thom offers a few actionable ideas, such as writing in a journal every day. If you're not sure how to get the most out of your journaling experience, start with some of the questions Thom suggests on our podcast. They can be instrumental in better understanding yourself and your motivations. Thom also talks about “catalysts” and exponential growth points for businesses. How can we recognize these catalysts? Where can they lead us? Thom reveals some of his catalysts over the years and how he grew from them.Finally, Thom describes some of his role models and who has inspired him. He's all about sharing his knowledge and wisdom to help guide and inspire new entrepreneurs. We hope this podcast provided some tips that will be useful to you as you start your own business.Support the show (https://p2q.link/donate)

Thom King is like some of the other guests we've met in our series of interviews. He is a career explorer-an adventurous soul who sees lots of possibilities and isn't afraid to take a side road if it looks promising. He initially worked in broadcasting. Eventually he managed 5 radio stations and this led to a position with Clear Channel. There he became the regional vice president of sales for the integrated marketing and online division of Clear Channel Worldwide. Though anyone would think he was following a great career path at this point, Thom was yet to feel fulfilled and discover his passion. One evening he was with a friend who had just returned from South America. His friend asked him if he'd like to sample some of a sticky green paste he had brought back with him. Thom was game, and this was his introduction to stevia (stevia rebaudiana), a plant native to Paraguay. Thom became curious about how he might introduce this more natural alternative sweetener into the market, so he began playing with formulations at home every free moment he had. You will hear Thom describe why he was convinced stevia would prove to be a superior product. As he progressed, he found himself immersed and driven. What he was doing was far more engaging to him than the broadcasting and sales work he was doing during his “real” daytime job. As he tells us, his interest and involvement became a “rabbit hole”. He was more and more involved in learning about, and experimenting with stevia. Eventually, he felt ready to start a retail brand. Initially he had to sell his products as supplements as stevia had not yet been approved by the FDA. This meant he could not market it as a sweetener to be displayed with other sugar/sugar-like products. Determined, he went from store to store to do product demos to gain wider exposure. He actually used home recipes and sample baked goods to promote his products at demos. When at long last the FDA finally approved stevia, the possibilities for Steviva, King's brand, opened up. The journey to that point had been long and hard though. He tells Amy there were plenty of times he wanted to quit, but unlike anything else he'd done, this business had given him purpose. He had found career fulfillment. But at one point as his star rose, he felt he needed to “walk the walk and talk the talk”. He was enjoying the good life and packing on pounds. He was advocating for healthier living through use of his products, yet he himself was overweight. It was time for a lifestyle change. He examined what he needed to do by collecting data on his habits and journaling his daily food intake. After a year making modifications to what he was putting into his body, he had lost the extra 35 lbs. he'd been carrying. He decided to turn his journal, and Guy Gone Keto was the result. It was popular, and for a short time, was a best seller on Amazon. The book also lent the extra benefit of boosting sales of his stevia products, and gave Thom “expert” status to those who were inspired by what he had shared with them. Thom King has lots of good advice to share with listeners about pivoting from work that is seemingly mundane to that which one finds exciting and inspirational. You will want to stick around to hear how his open mind, curiosity and marketing skills have led him to self-growth and a harmonious relationship with his world. Topics in this episode: On career happiness: how to create your own “hour of power” How to meditate with intention Why personal data collection and journaling are important tools for personal growth Why giving back and philanthropy matter How harmony makes us feel fulfilled and some ways we might achieve harmony in our own lives. How writing a book has helped his business Links: guygoneketo.com Guy Gone Keto on social media platforms iconfoods.com

An accomplished businessman, television producer, filmmaker, and author, Thom King began his life journey in Colorado (via Wisconsin), where he studied marketing at the University of Colorado.

In 1992, King founded Southwest Multimedia as an incubator for developing businesses that fit the vision and sensibilities upon which the company was founded — to support aspiring entrepreneurs and small businesses in cutting-edge, zero-carbon-footprint technologies and concepts. In 1999, King founded Steviva Brands. When not envisioning a new stevia blend to help replace the amount of sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup used in food products and food prep, Thom spends much of his time learning and thinking about people's dietary needs and ways to help improve what we eat. If King isn't coming up with new and exciting ways to prepare food for friends and family, he is working on a ketogenic diet.

Part CEO, part personal development wonk, and part biohacker info geek, Thom King is a self-confessed serial entrepreneur. While his favorite book list contains many success-oriented and personal-development classics, the classic definition of achieving success (e.g. make a lot of money) is not what inspires or motivates King. He follows more of a “you aren't doing well unless you're also doing some good” line of thinking. King's company has been built around the simple principle of “do the right thing.” His book, Guy Gone Keto, describes his journey towards better health and teaches you a way to be more conscious of what you put into your body.  It's available for sale on Amazon in both the printed and Kindle versions. Thom joins Mitch today to discuss better eating, how sugar is destroying our health and the journey Thom took to get to all the great things he is doing today.  You can also watch a video of their discussion on our YouTube Channel. Founded by King in 1999, Steviva Brands Inc. is one of the largest importers, manufacturers and distributors of clean-label sweetening systems and natural sweeteners. Emulating such renowned entrepreneurs such as the Wright Brothers and Steve Jobs, King started his company by first asking the critical question, “Why?” Based on the understanding that it's only by determining the “why” of what you want to do that you can achieve lasting success, King's business isn't simply something he does for a living. It stands as a testament to who he is, what he does and how he lives his life. King's “why” is simple. A bit of a foodie and health nut, food has always been a passion for King — particularly high-quality food that makes the planet a healthier place and maintains a level of sustainability. He founded Steviva as a way to effectively help combat metabolic disease and the “diabesity” (his self-coined term) epidemic in this country by offering clean-label sweetening systems to replace sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup.

In this episode, Thom King reveals his secrets to building a hugely-successful company and having optimal health so you can be the best version of yourself.  About Our Guest: Part CEO, part personal development wonk, and part biohacker info geek, Thom King is a self-confessed serial entrepreneur. While his favorite book list contains many success-oriented and personal-development classics, the traditional definition of achieving success (e.g. make a lot of money) is not what inspires or motivates King. He follows more of a “you aren't doing well unless you're also doing some good” line of thinking. King's company has been built around the simple principle of “do the right thing”. In 1999, Thom's personal passion for food and his concern over the explosion of metabolic disease led him to found Steviva Brands known as Icon Food, with a mission to help food manufacturers replace unhealthy sugars in their products with natural options. With 20 years of R&D work, Thom has helped hundreds of manufacturers improve the quality of their products. In recent years, his passion for food and optional health has intersected with his embrace of a ketogenic (low carb, high fat) diet. During the show we discuss: ● What makes a successful entrepreneur ● How to build a business with ‘why' ● Key habits and mindset needed to be a successful entrepreneur ● Important things to know before pursuing entrepreneurship ● Why drive and determination are essential with running a successful business ● Smart ways to win competitions ● Why a lot of people failed to start or grow a business ● Common mistakes when starting a business ● “Catalysts” or exponential growth points for business ● Importance of a business plan ● Should you or should you not use venture capital to grow ● How to use crowdfunding to grow ● Why self-care is important to your success ● Best way to market your product ● What makes a successful marketing strategy Show resources: http://thomking.com/ https://www.guygoneketo.com/ https://iconfoods.com/

The Project EGG Show: Entrepreneurs Gathering for Growth | Conversations That Change The World

Thom King always struggled with his weight before adopting a ketogenic lifestyle. In Guy Gone Keto he details how perseverance and a high-fat, low-carb diet enabled him to drop five waist sizes in a single year. His essential wellness program includes tips for reading and understanding food labels, supportive techniques to make you feel capable and empowered, as well as tasty recipes and easy-to-follow meal plans that will keep you fit and healthy for life. Thom King is the founder and CEO of Steviva Brands Inc., one of the largest importers, manufacturers, and distributors of natural sweeteners. A self-described “bio hacker,” he has made it his life's work to study food science and use his knowledge to help people eat healthier, avoid harmful sugars, and maintain diet and exercise habits that defeat metabolic disease. His company, based in Portland, Oregon, derives its name from stevia, the South American plant extract that is calorie-free yet three hundred times sweeter than sugar, and does not contribute to the combination of metabolic diseases that Thom calls “diabesity.” Watch the full episode here: https://projectegg.co/local-podcast-in-salt-lake-city About The Project EGG Show: The Project EGG Show is a video talk show that introduces you to entrepreneurs from around the world.

Show Topic: Ketogenic Diet- Understanding it with Thom King   Co-Hosts:  Judy Gaman, Mark Anderson, Walter Gaman Guest: Thom King  Segment 1: There are so many diets out there and the New Year is often the time when people decide to make changes to their diet. We decided to do a show today on the Ketogenic Diet and here in a bit, we're bringing on Thom King author of the book Man Gone Keto Funny discussion about holidays in a home of mixed dietary restrictions Hosts discuss different diets they've tried over the course of their lives (best and worst so far) We chose the Keto diet because it is actually published in the medical literature and sometimes used as part of the treatment plan for neurological disorders, epilepsy and some cancers Ketogenic diet dates back to 1923 with Dr. Russell Wilder at the Mayo Clinic using it for the treatment of epilepsy Keto diets can vary, but they mostly stem from the classic Keto diet which rearranges the macronutrients: the fat, protein, carb ratio. In the Classic Keto diet 90% of calories come from fat in a classic Ketogenic Diet, while 6% come from protein, and 4% come from carb The purpose of KETO is to keep the body in a state of Ketosis, which in turn, enhances the ability of mitochondria, the power plants of our cells. This increases our energy and reduces inflammation and oxidative stress. Types of Keto diets include: Classic, Modified Ketogenic, MCT oil Diet, Low Gylcemic Index treatment, and Modified Adkins DOC SHOCK This is so exciting and we have to hand it to the research team at University of California – Berkeley. If you or someone you know suffers from Parkinson's or Seizures, your life may change forever. They have discovered a closed-loop system that can listen to and correct brain waves at the same time and in the same region. It's like a pacemaker for the brain.

He headed companies that promoted healthy foods, yet he was a self-professed sugar addict.  One day in 2016, the pain of it all exceeded the pleasure of maintaining his food addiction and poor health, and he made a change.  Since then, he authored Guy Gone Keto: How to Lose Weight, Feel Great, and Achieve Lifelong Fitness.  Today, Thom's intention is to make an impact on metabolic disease, or what he calls, “diabesity,” promote healthy living and to share that knowledge by paying it forward to others.

He's also a ketogenic lifestyle expert and author of the book "Guy Gone Keto," which will be out in September 2017. Thom believes that Lions thrive in adversity. His story reflects that. In 1999, he ran into an old friend who had just brought back some stevia leaves from Paraguay. While tasting the sweet leaves, Thom could almost taste entrepreneurial success. The kind of success that can also help change people's lives for the better. But on his way to success, he tripped over his own ambition and ran out of money.  In this episode, he tells me the seriously humbling act he had to go through with to get his act together and take his business to the next level. He also tells me of the personal paradigm shift in his own lifestyle he made before he finally started to make money.  [rla-tweet] This is a conversation you don't want to miss. If you need the motivation to make a hard decision or the confidence to jump into the breach, my conversation with Thom will inspire you.
