About Alden Mills
With more than 40 years of experience failing and succeeding in a vast array of different environments from sports, military, and business to nonprofits and community action groups, he learned success is driven by one vital factor—leadership—of oneself and others.
The first person Alden learned to lead was himself.As a weak child with asthma, doctors insisted he limit physical activity and avoid sports. Instead, with the mindset instilled in him by his mother that “no one defines what you can and can’t do, but you,” he went on to become a National Collegiate Champion rower, earning Gold and Silver medals at the Olympic Festival, and a Navy SEAL who was top of his class.
Alden’s personal successes.As Alden achieved personal successes, he repeatedly grew into leadership positions. He became captain of his collegiate rowing team, was promoted three times to Navy SEAL platoon commander, and ranked #1 platoon commander each time.
From a young age he amassed notebooks of invention drawings.One of those ideas became the wildly popular Perfect Pushup and today he holds over 40 patents worldwide.
Global fitness powerhouse.He turned a single invention into a global fitness powerhouse in over 70 countries with multiple products, leading Perfect Fitness to become the fastest-growing consumer product company in the country, with over $95 million in sales in just three years. He has since founded and served on multiple companies’ boards in retail hard goods, consumable products, and service-based businesses.
Unstoppable LeadershipAlong the way, Alden cultivated a methodology that develops people into congruent and authentic leaders who successfully build teams and create cultures that are unstoppable regardless of the situation, industry, or environment.
Today Alden Mills is known as one of the leading business thinkers in America and spends his time helping others learn and implement the three levels of Unstoppable Leadership. He is the bestselling author of Unstoppable Mindset, Unstoppable Teams, and Be Unstoppable. Through speaking, coaching, writing, board advisory, and teaching, Alden

Manish shares his journey from growing up in rural Kentucky to working at Google to becoming a successful venture capitalist in Silicon Valley.
Manish shares his lessons learned from his time at Google and how they shaped his approach to venture capital.
About Manish Patel
Manish is a Silicon Valley veteran who solves problems at the intersection of business, technology, and human experience. He follows his passion for technologies that address deep needs and evolve to products which become part of everyday life.
At Google, Manish was fortunate to lead and collaborate with teams that designed, developed, and scaled products with global impact including Google Ads, TV, and Maps. In addition, he built a few products that were brilliant failures. He also worked closely with the co-founders on special projects including running Google’s corporate strategy and goal setting process: OKRs. As the company scaled from private to public, Manish held several other strategic roles and spent significant time overseas as Google established its global presence.
After Google, Manish joined Highland Capital and helped expand the firm’s offices in California. Manish is certainly the “accidental” venture capitalist but grew to love the craft. He focuses on early stage investing. Manish was able to partner with a number of exceptional entrepreneurs over the years who have scaled their businesses to public companies and multi billion dollar acquisitions.
Manish's passion for building extends to many aspects of his life. He has taught in the Stanford School of Engineering for years as well as serving as a Fellow at the University of Toronto - CDL. He was also recognized as a Distinguished Fellow by IDEO CoLab. And when he can, he loves to find excuses to go to his local machine shop.
Manish has spent his career at the edge of innovation as an operator, inventor, and as a venture capitalist. He deeply believes in the idea that the best products, those that truly impact us, shift from being novel technologies to becoming commonplace, disappearing into our daily lives.

Pickles. They're crunchy, tangy, and a staple in sandwiches, burgers, and snack plates worldwide. An pickling originated thousands of years ago, with evidence of cucumbers being pickled in the Tigris Valley as far back as 2030 BC, primarily as a method of food preservation.
Throughout history, pickles have been enjoyed by various cultures, with notable figures like Cleopatra and Julius Caesar appreciating their flavor and perceived health benefits. This widespread appreciation helped spread pickling techniques across continents, adapting to local ingredients and tastes.
In recent years science has shown that eating pickles are good for you and can increase your athletic performance in many ways.

Jim visited our studio to talk about how he, his team and the Synapse School community built a school from the ground up with an innovate approach to education.
The best way to describe what Synapse is doing is educating Change Makers by focusing keenly on Social-Emotional Learning, innovation and leading edge academics.
Their teachers, who are as committed as they are remarkable, build classroom communities and relationships based on trust, an essential ingredient in teaching and learning, while they cultivate in their students curiosity, creativity and risk-taking.
Most importantly, they are about helping human beings be better human beings.
Listen in for this fun, "educational" conversation.
ABOUT JIM EAGEN
Jim Eagen believes that when schools and their leaders focus less on what to change and more importantly, embrace constant change in order to develop the critical skills of implementing change, transformation in education is possible. Jim has enjoyed a wonderful 35 year career in independent schools, first as a student, then as classroom teacher, coach, and administrator, and now, in his 11th year, as the Head of School at Synapse, a one-of-kind K-8 lab school in Menlo Park with a signature project based curriculum and brain-based framework.
Synapse has grown exponentially in size and impact under his leadership and has earned a reputation for being a place where students, teachers and families thrive in large part due to Jim’s vision and energy.
When not at Synapse, presenting about Synapse, or talking to just about anyone who
will listen to him about Synapse, he can often be found on a ride, on a run, or laughing and learning with his wife, dog, and their two kids, a college senior and a high school senior.

**About Troops in Contact
Mission: Save Close Air Support** (CAS)
The Problem: the Air Force is cutting Close Air Support and breaking faith with troops.
In the 2023 budget the Air Force revealed a 5-year plan to eliminate its A-10 CAS aircraft without an adequate replacement and to cut TACPs/ JTACs (Terminal Air Control Party Specialists/ Joint Terminal Attack Controllers/ Air Ground Integrators) by 50%.
If successful, this plan would kill the CAS profession and cripple America’s CAS capability.
Ground troops would be supported, if at all, by CAS amateurs in a small expensive fleet of fragile aircraft that are far less effective. In Low Intensity Conflict, that will cost lives. In Major Combat Operations, it risks losing battles.

Ali shares her founder's story of how she went from an idea, to a stapled together template for the first Modern Picnic lunch bag, to a fast growing brand that is sold in luxury stores like Saks Fifth Avenue.
This episode educates, inspires and gives you an edge to win in your business and in your life.
About Ali Kaminetsky
Forbes Next 1000 List-Maker, Ali Kaminetsky of Modern Picnic, disrupted the cooler industry in 2018 when she created a lunch box created for the cosmopolitan working woman. The chic, functional, sustainable, vegan leather lunch box has been celebrated by over 200 media outlets, including Forbes, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Oprah, The Today Show and more.
Since its launch, Modern Picnic has grown into a multi-million dollar business with roots in charity, women’s empowerment, and their commitment to creating innovative, multifunctional products.
Ali began the entrepreneurship journey right after graduating from college, working in the retail industry. She would bring her lunch to work everyday because of how much faster, cheaper and healthier it was. However, she quickly realized she did not have a chic or functional way to do so. When she googled “lunchbox” she saw options for little kids and men, but nothing for women who wanted to look good or do good. It was clear the outdated lunchbox needed a makeover, and from there, Modern Picnic was born.

Nison shares he and his wife's (Amie) story of how they've been able to build Emma Justine Color & Extension Lounge and earned a spot on Inc Magazine’s Best Places to Work in America.
From selling their house and moving into their parents, to niching down their business, offering not common benefits in the salon business to other not so common things they've done that has separated them from their competition.
About Emma Justine Color & Extension Lounge
Over the years, with the help of their beautiful and loyal guests, the Emma Justine Tribe took great pride in upholding the salon's mission statement by “Creating a one-of-a-kind salon experience that is led by a team with exceptional talent to ensure every guest feels Bold, Beautiful, & Confident!" Emma Justine Salon continues to set the bar for what it means to be experts in the field. Focusing on complete transformations and complex coloring services can only be achieved through proper training, special attention to detail, and an individual guest approach that is not bound to a time-limited appointment.
With this type of sincere focus, the Emma Justine Tribe has built a strong reputation, bringing about a heavy responsibility that is passionately executed.
In the first year of opening, the salon received the Nationally Distinguished Salon of the Year Award, a recognition that they attribute to the trust their guests have put in them. They have also been featured in several magazine articles that showcased their work and talented team. In 2022, Emma Justine Salon received another award and was named to Inc. Magazine’s Annual Best Workplaces List. This list is the result of a comprehensive measurement of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company culture. We humbly realize that none of this would be possible without our loyal guests.
In addition, with the help of their loyal guests, the salon makes monthly contributions towards disaster relief work, as well as other charitable contributions.

Jeremy and Brandon have a fascinating conversation about the currency that Jeremy created made out of gold, Goldbacks, and how the purchasing power has out performed the the US dollar over the last several decades.
Goldbacks are already legal tender in several states in the United States.
This conversation will have you really thinking about using Goldbacks.
About Jeremy Cordon
Jeremy always had an interest in precious metals. On a whim, he quit a high-paying job to become one of the first full-time employees of the UPMA (Utah Precious Metals Association).
He was able to help grow the organization from 400 members to over 25,000. This enabled him to negotiate himself into his first management position. From there he was able to begin work on his first business, Quintric.
This was a gold-backed crypto project where he served on the board of directors. Ultimately this sparked the idea of a gold-backed currency. Quintric did not take off as hoped and after Jeremy’s exit, he quickly started work on the Goldback Inc.

You'll leave with some tips on starting something from an idea, to product, bootstrapping it and scaling a company with out ever raising a dime.
About Bryan Clayton
Bryan CEO and Co-Founder of GreenPal, an online marketplace that connects homeowners with local lawn care professionals.
GreenPal has been called the “Uber for lawn care” by Entrepreneur magazine and has over 200,000 active users completing thousands of transactions per day.
Bryan has been in the lawn care industry his entire working life starting with mowing neighbor’s lawns in high school to ultimately founding Peach Tree Inc, a market leading landscape company in the southeast and growing the firm to over 125 employees.
In 2013 he navigated the successful acquisition of Peach Tree to Landscapes USA, a national provider of commercial landscape services.
The inspiration for GreenPal was born out of the frustration Bryan observed while operating the landscape business, and how difficult it is for homeowner’s to find, schedule, and pay a reliable small lawn care professional.

Mary joins the show again and shares her experience with patenting her CosmoGlo light, her approach, how she won a lawsuit, how she protects other IP through trademarks and copyright and lots of advice for fellow business owners with intellectual property to protect.
Listen to episode 365 on EDGE to hear Mary's full founder story along with tons of tips she drops for fellow entrepreneurs.
About Mary HarcourtMary is the Founder and CEO of CosmoGlo that makes the industry changing CosmoGlo light for beauty salons.
Mary grew up on the East Coast and was born with an adventurous soul. Between drives to New York and Atlantic City, hiking up waterfalls in Pennsylvania, and going to find the nearest beach, Mary lived life with an exploration mindset from the start.
At a young age, Mary dove into hard work and typically held multiple jobs at the same time. She would keep one job for living expenses, and one for the fun things. Once she discovered her love for travel, Mary got really serious about it.
Over the course of a few years, taking months off at a time, Mary spent all her spare time traveling. She visited 64 countries and hopes to add more!
After settling down in Los Angeles, Mary bought a salon and grew her business over 5+ years into the area’s leading eyelash extension spa. She ran a fully staffed, fully booked, 5-star Yelp-reviewed salon.
With lots of lashing/client time on her hands, she imagined what the perfect light for lashing would look like, what it needed to do, and how to get away from lights made for other industries.
There was not a light made for lashing, and she’d tried everything: makeup lights, photography lights, Ikea lamps... nothing fixed the issues she’d had as a lash artist. She knew that if she was frustrated and struggling, everyone around her must be too.
Mary tried to imagine what that process of building her perfect lash light would be like, thinking to herself, 'I don't come from a manufacturing background. I don't even know what the word means!' Learning that manufacturing is "the skill and process of making things," grew her curiosity and her explorative mind and personality traits took over… Maybe I COULD do this!
Mary knew this lighting idea would innovate the entire industry, and that is exactly what she did. Starting with prototypes in her salon, tweaking them, adding upgrades and changes along the way, it was exciting to see this idea come out of her head and into reality. But... how would she ever find the time to launch her light project while working full time, managing a staff, and taking clients? Where there's a will, there's a way!
When Covid hit in 2020, Mary’s salon was shut down by the state for 9 months. We all know this feeling, and Mary ate a whole king-size bar of chocolate, drank some wine, then cried it out for a week. Next, she got down to business and pivoted - Mary knew lashing would be back, but right now she had the one thing she’d never had: the gift of time and a free schedule. Unable to work, no ability to travel, and a head full of ideas - the rest is history., and the CosmoGlo Light was launched in 2020.
Mary is just like you. She's an artist navigating the world, encountering obstacles, and finding ways around them!
She took an unplanned situation and turned it into a remarkable product. If she can change the world with an idea thought up in a lash room, you can too! You just have to be willing to take the leap and go for it.
