Curt Bear founded LoCo Think Tank, following his departure from a 15-year banking career to pursue his dreams of owning a local-food restaurant. Recognizing the potential of peer advisory in empowering small business owners, Curt sought to transform himself into the entrepreneur he believed he was destined to become.
Instead of opening a restaurant, Curt and his team opted for a food trailer, which they successfully operated for a few seasons. During this time, Curt established a second LoCo chapter, driven by his passion for creating a positive impact in the lives of fellow entrepreneurs. The members of his LoCo chapter encouraged him to focus on the growing Think Tank, leading him to find a flexible job that allowed him to devote ample time to LoCo's expansion.
Embracing this advice, Curt secured a position with Thrivent Financial, a company he admired. As the LoCo Think Tank continued to flourish, Curt's dedication to the initiative led to the establishment of third, fourth, and fifth chapters. Eventually, Curt fully committed himself to LoCo Think Tank, transitioning from his former banking career and becoming a full-time entrepreneur and leader in the Think Tank community. Some argue that this shift occurred even earlier, around the time he bid farewell to his comfortable bank job, showing his unwavering commitment to LoCo's mission.
Story On was founded by Seth Silvers out of frustration with what marketing could be but was not. He realized the brands he loved were the ones focused on improving peopleâs lives and the ones not just making products, but telling stories. Consumers wanted to buy from companies telling great stories but brands were stuck shouting about products.Â
After trying to help too many companies in too many ways, Seth Silvers realized the most impactful work they were doing was in podcasting. Podcasting had become the most effective way Story On was helping their clients and podcasting had become one of the best ways for brands to communicate their passion, value, and stories to their audience. Story On pivoted to exclusively focus on building ca nât-miss podcasts for business leaders.Â
