Even in Viral Ideas, Real Horses they discuss if green hay is always a better choice. Tune in!When it comes to feeding your horse, consistency matters—but so does knowing when to improve. At Tribute Equine Nutrition, formulas aren't changed often.

And to mark the rollout, Tribute has added a little excitement. Golden tickets—worth up to a year's supply of feed for one horse—have been placed in random bags as the updated formulas are released.For anyone wondering where to start, Tribute's team offers a free, personalized feeding plan tailored to each horse's needs. They'll guide owners through the process—and for those new to Tribute, the first bag is shipped right to their door, free.

He started his first company at 16 in high school, started The Zombie Run generating 1.4M in 9 months using Facebook advertising, grew Viral Ideas to 200 clients in 3 Years David Feinman- Early Entrepreneur David found that a job outside of entrepreneurship was not for him.  It was too stifling and wasn’t what he wanted to do. He was already successful and wanted to continue on that venture. “We started Viral Ideas and Flixation when I was in college and started out as a couple small projects and now 4 years later we have clients based all over. ” - David Feinman On-Demand Video Editing By putting their ears on the ground and listening they noticed there was a lot of waste in the video editing arena.  There was excess footage left on the hard-drive doing nothing. They started turning it into videos for clients. “We started approaching clients and saying with all this extra footage we have why don’t we turn this into videos.” - David Feinman Flixation Clients can bring in raw video and Flixation turns it into a final product.  They can bring in videos off their phones, cameras and Flixation puts on the finishing touches.  The hardest part is when a client isn’t for sure what they are looking for. Processes must be set up to extract the direction of the video for the creative editing to begin. “Through Viral Ideas and Flixation we have 2 definite processes that extract that from them whether they know it or not.” - David Feinman To hear more about David’s entrepreneur success, download this episode now.

At the young age of 16, where most kids are out playing video games or trying to attend their friends sweet 16 parties, Zach Medina created Shockwave Entertainment. Which was a party planning and entertainment company that helped teenagers and their families with their parties. At the early of his career, Zach didn't know he was an entrepreneur. As a kid, Zach was always looking for ways to make money, even before his first official business he decided to become a caddy. In which as a kid 7th grader, he carried golf bags that gave him $50 a day! He thought "shoot, I can do something here!" Next, eBay came out and like any hustler/young entrepreneur would do, he started selling stuff on the platform. He would buy broken iPods, fix them, and then later resell them for profit. Not once during this time, Zach thought he was an entrepreneur. It didn't dawn on him until people started calling him one. During his time at high school he ran track. There he met one of his first DJ's that helped him start his business. Zach is grateful for his first official business (Shockwave Entertainment) because it kept him out of trouble. Every weekend, Zach was doing something for his business and basically got paid to party. Shockwaves Entertainment was created in junior year of high school and during college he then started an app called Fixation. (Which is now more of a hobby than anything else.) Zach had no idea what he was doing, when he first built the app. The app itself was a video story telling app. There were a lot of struggles but he went ahead and presented it to his target market. He realized from feedback that the app did too much. Update after update he failed and went back to the drawing board. Finally landing on Viral Ideas which is where he spends his sweat equity on today. #Timestamps 00:30 Introduction 2:20 Passion 4:45 Struggles With His App Idea 7:00 Biggest Failure 11:00 Resources 15:00 Life As An Entrepreneur 20:00- Start Small, Stop Asking For Money, and Be Humble 23:30- ICE CREAM!
