Starting Small: Recent Episodes
Cameron Nagle
Starting Small, is a podcast hosted by entrepreneur Cameron Nagle. Tune in, as Cameron interviews CEO‘s, founders, and entrepreneurs, discussing the stories on how their organizations and businesses were created from the ground up.
Charlie Clifford grew up a self-described "scrappy Jersey guy" in a town of 5,000 people, and won his first entrepreneurial prize in sixth grade: a watch, for out-hustling a classmate whose dad rigged the contest by buying magazine subscriptions wholesale for his medical office.
After business school at Indiana University, he joined one of the first Peace Corps pilot programs recruiting MBAs — sent to Peru to work with small businesses under a Stanford professor who'd later teach Nike's Phil Knight. He came home with $10,000, invested it in a scrappy import operation selling handcrafted South American leather goods, and in 1975 broke off to start his own company focused on travel bags. He named it TUMI, after a Peruvian ceremonial knife.
The brand's real breakthrough came when Clifford shifted from leather to black ballistic nylon — a fabric built for flak jackets — manufactured through a partnership with a small shop in Vidalia, Georgia. Bloomingdale's 59th Street flagship picking up the line put TUMI on the map. A conversation with a longtime retail partner, who told Clifford he had "so much product" he should just open his own stores, led to the "side-by-side" concept and eventually freestanding TUMI locations. By the 2000s, TUMI was the brand road warriors carried through airports worldwide, and it went public in 2012.
Clifford left the company in 2004, when the private equity partners who'd taken majority ownership after 9/11 decided to sell. He spent years distributing other people's luggage brands before realizing he wanted control over the product and the story again. In 2017, he and his former TUMI EVP Larry Lein founded ROAM — American-made, hand-assembled, and built around a philosophy that's the opposite of TUMI's black-on-black uniform: total color customization, so no two suitcases look the same.

This episode is brought to you by Panasonic. I just installed their WhisperGreen Select on a recent project, and I've gotta say — it's not what you picture when you think "bathroom fan." Panasonic's been in the ventilation game for decades, and this thing is proof. It's whisper quiet, ENERGY STAR certified, and you can customize it — airflow settings, LED lighting in five different color temperatures, even Wi-Fi and motion sensor add-ons if you want to get the best out of your new fan. It's a small detail in a home that makes a real difference. Make sure to check them out now at us.panasonic.com
Adam Wexler played fantasy football since seventh grade — and turned that habit into a $4.15 billion exit. He built his first company out of a dorm room at the University of Georgia, launched a music discovery platform called Go Rankem in Athens, then pivoted into B2B SaaS with clients like Holiday Inn, IHG, Home Depot, UPS, and Coca-Cola before he ever touched sports.
In 2015, he incorporated Side Prize. When the fantasy sports market collapsed under regulatory pressure that same year, he rebuilt from a shoestring budget and relaunched in 2017 as PrizePicks — built on a "stupid simple" premise: get sports fans in and out of the app in under 60 seconds. He ran it as CEO for a decade, scaled it into the largest daily fantasy sports platform in North America, and in 2025 sold a majority stake to Allwyn International in a deal valued at up to $4.15 billion — without ever raising venture capital.
Rather than ride off into retirement, Wexler went back to where he started: music. He's now CEO of The Hidden Jams, a nonprofit platform funded by $5 million of his own money that crowdsources deep cuts and hidden gems from artist catalogs

Sound is one of those things that makes or breaks a hosting experience — and we finally got it right.
We went with KICKER KB6 speakers mounted above the deck. Full-range, weather-resistant, built to throw sound across an open space without losing quality.

If you're setting up an outdoor space for your home or business, and the audio isn't dialed in yet, start at Kicker.com.
Nick Stenson cut his first head of hair at 12 years old, in his mother's Chicago salon, with zero training and a customer's grandson in the chair. He was on track to become an orthopedic surgeon before realizing his mom was doing the same thing doctors do — changing how people carry themselves — one client at a time. He opened his first salon, Caviar Salons, in 2001, eventually running two locations and over 50 stylists. From there he became a creative director for L'Oréal and JCPenney Salons, styled Lady Gaga, Fergie, and Ashley Tisdale, and spent nine years at Ulta — starting with a team of seven and leaving as SVP of Services and Store Operations over a team of 400, after four promotions. In 2022 he launched Nick Stenson Beauty, a luxury haircare line built around aloe vera and creatine instead of ingredients nobody can pronounce. The brand is now sold at Ulta, Macy's, Nordstrom, and Amazon, with a professional distribution arm reaching salons nationwide. Twelve SKUs, all mix-and-matchable, no separate line for curly, straight, fine, or thick hair — just what your hair actually needs.

One family recipe has grown into one of the fastest-rising brands in ready-to-drink cocktails. Inspired by her mother's gin, lemonade, and mint summer cooler, Meredith Mills-Merritt founded The Original Southside with a vision to bring premium ingredients, elevated branding, and transparency to a category that had long prioritized convenience over craftsmanship. Leveraging her background in prestige beauty, she obsessed over every detail—from developing a proprietary gin to creating a cocktail that's certified organic, vegan, gluten-free, and 10% ABV. That attention to detail has fueled remarkable growth.
Since launching in 2024, Southside has expanded into more than 20 markets, landed on shelves at Whole Foods and Total Wine, increased shipments by more than 370%, and continues its national expansion through Meijer, Rouses, and more than 90 additional Whole Foods locations. Beyond the product itself, Meredith is reshaping conversations around alcohol transparency as co-founder of the Clean Alcohol Collective, advocating for clearer ingredient standards across the industry.

What started as two college friends chasing side hustles and building an Instagram account called @Sauce has grown into one of the most recognizable premium food brands in America. Today, TRUFF can be found in more than 17,000 retail locations nationwide, with an innovation pipeline stretching far beyond hot sauce.
Co-Founders Nick Guillen and Nick Ajluni join Starting Small to share how they set out to create the "Cîroc of hot sauce," spent nearly two years perfecting their original recipe, and turned a digitally native brand into a retail powerhouse. They unpack the early days of packing orders themselves, landing on Oprah's Favorite Things in year one, pioneering viral food content, and recently refreshing the brand with new packaging, Mild Sauce, and a line of Aioli & Dipping Sauces.

Visit Kichler.com and discover how thoughtfully designed lighting can completely transform the way you experience your home after dark.
Before Yes Way Rosé became one of the best-selling rosé brands in America, it started as an Instagram account.
Long before they sold a single bottle, Erica Small and Nikki Huganir were building a community around a simple idea: wine didn’t have to be intimidating. It could be fun, approachable, design-forward, and still be high quality.
That audience eventually became Yes Way Rosé.
Since launching the brand in 2018, the duo has sold more than 13 million bottles, grown into the fourth best-selling French rosé brand in the U.S., and expanded into sparkling, canned, and most recently, non-alcoholic rosé.
The newest launch was personal. After both becoming pregnant at the same time, Erica and Nikki searched for a non-alcoholic rosé that delivered the same experience as the French wines they loved. They couldn’t find one. So they spent nine months testing more than 50 formulations to create their own.

Angela Caglia spent decades behind the scenes as one of Hollywood’s most trusted estheticians before launching her own skincare brand. Her career started treating celebrity clients in Los Angeles, including Barbra Streisand, who once asked Angela what her dream was after a facial appointment at her home. Angela told her she wanted to create her own skincare line someday. Streisand’s response? “Why aren’t you doing it?” That moment stayed with her. After years building her reputation through hands-on treatments and opening her Bel Air spa, Angela launched Angela Caglia Skincare in 2016 — combining luxury spa treatments with regenerative skincare science. Most recently, the brand introduced its patent-pending Human-Derived Stem Cell Technology designed around exosomes, growth factors, and peptides aimed at supporting skin renewal at the cellular level. Her Cell Forté Serum quickly became the #1 selling serum in its category after launch, with unusually high subscription retention for a luxury skincare product. In this episode, Angela breaks down the evolution from celebrity esthetician to founder, how skincare has shifted from surface-level beauty to longevity and regeneration, and why trust matters more than trends in luxury wellness.

Long before SIMPLi hit shelves at Whole Foods, Sprouts, Erewhon, and Wegmans, Sarela and Matt were traveling globally working directly with farmers to source regenerative organic ingredients and rebuild transparency at the root level of food production. What started as a sourcing mission eventually became SIMPLi — a pantry brand focused on traceability, regenerative agriculture, and proving that better food systems can scale without cutting corners. In this episode, Sarela and Matt break down how they built relationships with farming communities around the world, why most consumers have no idea where their pantry staples actually come from, and what it takes to create a mission-driven food brand in a category dominated by massive incumbents.

Thank you to this episodes mid break sponsor, Terramor Outdoor Resort. I just got back from Terramor Outdoor Resort in Bar Harbor, Maine, and I have to tell you — it's the first time in a while I've genuinely felt reset.Terramor is a luxury glamping resort with 64 upscale tent accommodations tucked into the woods near Acadia National Park. The food was incredible, the amenities were dialed in, and their guy, Omar, took us through this private saltwater immersion experience in nature that I did not see coming — cold, but completely shifted my body and mind - followed by a robe and hot tea right on the ocean.
It's one of those places where you're fully immersed in nature, but you're not sacrificing comfort. You just... decompress.
If that sounds like something you need right now, go check them out, they’re open May-October and whether with the family, special event,couples retreat… you have to take my word on this experience— TerramorOutdoorResort.com.
Lauren Corugedo grew up watching Chef Merito operate like a hidden gem in Los Angeles kitchens long before the rest of the country caught on. Founded in 1985 by her Cuban immigrant grandfather, Chef Merito started with a single carne asada seasoning and built a loyal following through word of mouth, neighborhood markets, and authentic flavor that didn’t compromise to fit trends. Now, nearly 40 years later, the brand has expanded far beyond Southern California — landing in Costco, Amazon, major retailers, and even Dodger Stadium — while still staying rooted in the same recipes and cultural identity that built it in the first place. In this episode, Lauren shares what it’s like stepping into a second-generation family business, modernizing a legacy brand for a new generation of consumers, and balancing growth without losing authenticity.

Dr. Kyle Landry wasn’t trying to build another skincare brand. Before Delavie Sciences, he was doing postdoctoral research at Harvard studying extremophiles — organisms capable of surviving radiation, extreme heat, and even the vacuum of space. That research eventually led him to a microorganism connected to NASA and the International Space Station that could withstand conditions most life forms couldn’t.' What started as a government and biosecurity research project turned into something completely different: a patented skincare ingredient called Bacillus Lysate. Today, that ingredient sits at the center of Delavie Sciences — a company bringing space-tested biotechnology into consumer skincare. Their Aeonia serum became the first biological cosmetic recognized as Certified Space Technology™, with studies showing major increases in hyaluronic acid production, hydration, and skin elasticity.

Working full-time while studying for a professional certification, Peter realized the real problem wasn’t intelligence — it was the format. Most working adults were trying to study late at night, squeezed between jobs, bills, and family responsibilities, using outdated materials built for people with unlimited time. So in 2012, before “edtech” became a category everyone chased, Peter and his co-founders built a simple mobile study app to solve their own problem. None of them were developers. None were designers. They mocked up the first version in PowerPoint, pooled together less than $2,000, and launched an app that sold just two copies on day one. That app became Pocket Prep. Today, the company has helped more than 8 million learners prepare for over 140 certification exams across healthcare, IT, cybersecurity, finance, and the skilled trades — quietly becoming one of the most widely used study platforms for working professionals. In this episode, Peter breaks down the early years of building Pocket Prep, why consistency beats cramming, and how mobile learning changed the way adults prepare for high-stakes exams.

Thank you to this episodes mid-break sponsor, Eclife Premier.
I recently installed their 30-inch Canyon vanity, and it completely changed the look of the bathroom. The fluted wood finish, the clean design, the storage — it honestly looks way more high-end than what you’d expect at the price point.
What I liked most was that it showed up ready to go. No complicated setup, no hunting for separate pieces that hopefully match.
Eclife has vanities in all different sizes and styles, whether you’re redoing a powder room or a full primary bath.

Shahab Elmi didn’t come from the wellness industry. He came from building and exiting companies — from telecom retail to media — before turning his focus to something much bigger: fixing a broken supplement industry.
In 2019, he stepped into Cymbiotika with a simple idea — people shouldn’t have to guess what they’re putting into their bodies.
What followed was one of the fastest rises in modern wellness. Cymbiotika went from a single product to a full line of liposomal supplements, generating millions in revenue early and eventually scaling to over 100 million supplement packets sold worldwide.
The company grew rapidly while staying focused on transparency, bioavailability, and rebuilding trust in a space known for low-quality products. That approach helped drive massive retention and positioned Cymbiotika as one of the most talked-about brands in the category.

Sandra Powers Murphy spent decades building a career in finance — running her own firm, working with institutional clients, and raising six kids along the way. She wasn’t planning to start a footwear company. Then one night in New York, caught in the rain trying to make a train, she had to take off her heels and run ten blocks barefoot just to get there. That moment stuck with her. After years of traveling, networking, and watching her male colleagues move through long days comfortably while she rotated between shoes, she decided to solve the problem herself. That became Scarlett Chase — a luxury footwear brand built on over five years of R&D, combining high-end craftsmanship with orthopedic-level support. The brand launched in 2023, went fully direct-to-consumer, and quickly found traction with repeat customers who hadn’t found anything like it before.

Thank you to this episode’s sponsor, Aluminum Artisans.
They make handcrafted aluminum sculptures — everything from wildlife pieces to custom designs for homes, offices, and outdoor spaces.
I’ve got their brown bear here in the studio, and the level of detail stands out right away. I’ve looked EVERYWHERE and you kept coming across 2 things. Either look very cheap or are outrageously expensive. I was super impressed at the incredible quality and value of Aluminum Artisans. Check them out - The work speaks for itself…

Mary Hagen knew early she wanted to build something — launching her first business at 20. Today, she’s the CEO of Colossal, a company that’s quietly reshaped how fundraising works. Since joining, Mary has scaled Colossal by over 1000%, helping generate more than $207 million for nonprofits like the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Baby2Baby, PAWS, and the James Beard Foundation. But the real shift is how that money gets raised. Instead of relying on a few major donors, Colossal built a model around digital competitions and community participation — turning thousands of small contributions into millions raised. In this conversation, Mary breaks down what it actually takes to grow a purpose-driven company, why she believes leadership is about showing up — not just saying the right things — and how modern fundraising is moving away from exclusivity toward something far more accessible.

Julian Tcherassi didn’t start Magiktea trying to compete with traditional tea brands. He found something most people had never heard of — palo azul, a tree bark used for centuries as a natural kidney remedy.
When brewed, it does something unexpected. It turns bright blue in the light, thanks to its high concentration of polyphenols — with studies showing it contains up to 8x more antioxidants than green tea.
That discovery became Magiktea — an alkaline, caffeine-free tea built around function, not just flavor.
Today, Magiktea is stocked in over 1,000 retail locations, including Erewhon, Vitamin Shoppe, Bristol Farms, Lassens, Chamberlin’s, and Fruitful Yield — growing quietly in the better-for-you beverage space.

Thank you to this episodes mid-break sponsor, Birdieball. It’s not your typical carpet mat — they use this aerated foam and turf setup that actually gives you a true roll, so the ball stays on line and reacts like a real green. You can customize the size, adjust speed, even add breaks and different hole setups — so you’re not just mindlessly hitting straight putts, you’re actually working on your game. I’ve got mine set up at home and it’s just made it way easier to get reps in consistently. If you’re trying to tighten up your putting without getting to the course every day, go check out BirdieBall at https://www.birdieball.com

David Thurston didn’t set out to build the fastest-growing hair color brand in professional beauty history. But that’s exactly what happened.
As the founder of Pulp Riot, David created a brand that shook up the salon industry — bold colors, artist-first culture, and a community that felt more like a movement than a product line. Just 23 months after launch, Pulp Riot was acquired by L’Oréal for $150M.
The day the deal closed, David was sitting in a Jersey Mike’s when a bank notification popped up: $85M had just hit his account.
Seven years later, he and his wife Alexis are back building — this time with Danger Jones, a brand that blends hair color, fashion, and film into something entirely different from traditional beauty companies. No corporate playbook. No venture capital. Just creativity, community, and a belief that artists deserve a brand that actually represents them.
In this episode, David shares the full story behind Pulp Riot’s meteoric rise, what really happens after a life-changing exit, and why he decided to start over — building Danger Jones from scratch across 43 countries.

Thank you to this episode's mid-break sponsor, Morelux.
If you’re someone who practices at home — golf, baseball, or really any ball sport — you know how hard it is to find gear that’s actually built to take a beating. That’s what impressed me about Morelux.
They sent over one of their heavy-duty frame and net setups, and the first thing I noticed was the build quality. Their systems use thick steel frames and high-density mesh designed to absorb serious impact — not the flimsy nets that wobble or tear after a few sessions.
It’s been perfect for our space. Super quick to set up, incredibly sturdy, and honestly just makes practicing way more fun.

Christine de Wendel spent more than a decade helping scale two of Europe’s biggest startup success stories — first at Zalando, then as COO of ManoMano. Both companies grew from early-stage startups into multi-billion-dollar businesses.
But at 40 years old, with three kids and years of scale-up experience behind her, Christine decided it was time to build something of her own.
That idea became sunday — a simple but powerful solution that lets diners pay their restaurant bill instantly by scanning a QR code. What started during the chaos of COVID quickly turned into one of the fastest-growing platforms in hospitality tech.
Today, sunday processes billions in payments each year and is used by restaurants around the world — from independent spots to major dining groups like TAO, Boqueria, Bareburger, and La Pecora Bianca.
In this episode, Christine shares the full story behind sunday: moving back to the U.S. after 15 years abroad, starting a company with a restaurant operator friend during the pandemic, raising $25M in just weeks, and building a company now processing billions in payments.

Mark Lee started MarqVision while earning his J.D. at Harvard Law, convinced that brand protection was about to break. Counterfeiting and IP theft had grown into a $3 trillion global problem, but enforcement still relied on manual takedowns and fragmented systems. He believed AI could change that.
Five years later, MarqVision has raised $90M, doubled revenue in a single year, and is now trusted by 350+ global brands including LVMH, MLB, MrBeast, Lush, Allbirds, Casetify, Panda Express, and Stüssy. The company is helping brands move beyond reactive enforcement toward measurable “cleanliness” across marketplaces — a shift Mark believes will define brand protection in 2026 and beyond.

Dave Munson didn’t launch Saddleback Leather with a business plan. He was living in Mexico, burned out from ministry work, when he designed a leather bag he couldn’t find anywhere — simple, rugged, built to last. A local craftsman made it. Strangers kept stopping him to ask where they could get one. He went back, had a small batch made, and started selling them one by one.
That small run turned into Saddleback Leather Co., now known worldwide for overbuilt bags backed by a 100-year warranty and a philosophy that products should be strong enough to be fought over when you’re gone. Dave went from selling on eBay to owning his own factory, collaborating with brands like Toyota and Major League Baseball, and building a loyal following of more than 250,000 customers who value durability over trends.

Steve Schwartz didn’t start Art of Tea because tea was trendy. He started it after watching Western medicine fail his mother. That moment sent him down a path few founders take — studying Ayurveda, working in herbal pharmacies, traveling the world to source botanicals, and learning how plants affect the body at a deep, functional level.
Art of Tea began in a living room, blending by hand, making just enough money to survive week to week. Today, it’s an award-winning tea company trusted by the White House, Caesars Palace, Wolfgang Puck, Slack, and The Peninsula Hotel.

Eric LeVine didn’t set out to build a startup. He was a Microsoft engineer during the dot-com boom who just wanted to keep track of the wine he owned. So he built a simple spreadsheet — an “Excel for wine” — to organize his own cellar. Friends started asking for access. Then friends of friends.
In 2003, Eric put the tool online. That side project became CellarTracker.
Today, it has 10M+ users, tracks over $21B worth of wine, and has quietly become the most trusted platform in the wine world.
In this episode, Eric walks through turning a personal itch into global infrastructure, why obsession with data and community mattered more than monetization early on, and how CellarTracker now uses AI to help people know when to drink a bottle — not just what they own.

After years running a packed West Hollywood fitness studio and launching multiple FitTech products, revenue flattened, Justin Norris' health slipped, and the business stalled. A single cold plunge changed everything. The clarity he felt stepping out of the water sparked a pivot that would take LIT from a traditional fitness brand to a design-forward recovery company now backed by pro athletes and top investors.
Today, LIT is redefining the recovery category with premium cold plunges, infrared saunas, and turnkey solutions for gyms, studios, and hospitality groups. In this episode, Justin breaks down how he rebuilt the business from the inside out — the mindset shift, the product decisions, and the bet on recovery becoming the next wave in wellness.

At 22 years old, Eugene Kang bought a tiny jerky business from an 80-year-old butcher he met on a road trip. It was doing about $500K a year and relied entirely on private-label production. Over the next fourteen years, he rebuilt everything — the brand, the manufacturing, the product strategy — transforming it into Archer, one of the fastest-growing companies in meat snacks.
From navigating USDA operations as a first-time founder, to unlocking national retail doors through a licensed Sriracha SKU that flipped early “no’s” into “yeses”, Eugene grew Archer into a projected $500M brand by 2026, with 90% YoY growth in 2024. In this conversation, he breaks down the operational grind, the rebrand from Country Archer to Archer, and how sticks became the engine behind one of the biggest category expansions in modern snacking.

When Michael Jacobson took over his uncle’s barely-profitable flower shop in 2018, many saw a sinking business — he saw potential. Through a mix of technology, obsessive customer care, and operational discipline, he turned what was doing roughly $600K a year into a $9.5M+ powerhouse. Today, French Florist isn’t just surviving — it’s preparing to scale nationally through franchise expansion. In this episode, Michael walks us through the behind-the-scenes rebuild: from modernizing outdated systems, rethinking margins, and making flowers a product people rely on, to proving that even a flower shop can be built like a high-growth business.

Mark Newman has spent his career fixing broken systems. At just 20, he co-founded HireVue, a company that reimagined hiring through video interviews, scaling it into a platform used by millions worldwide before its acquisition by Carlyle Group. But it was his own experience in a hospital after the birth of his child that sparked his next fight—taking on the healthcare system. Today, as founder and CEO of Nomi Health, Mark is building a new operating system for healthcare, already touching over $100B in employer healthcare spend, serving millions of Americans, and proving costs can be cut in half without sacrificing care. In this conversation, Mark shares the grit of his early ventures, how Nomi scaled through the chaos of the pandemic, and why he believes employers—not insurers—hold the keys to healthcare reform.

She bootstrapped the brand, protected it via early patents, and slowly built a passionate fanbase.

In this episode, Emily shares the constraints she embraced, how she pushed through manufacturing dead ends, and how she designs with purpose and durability in mind.

Michael Fisher was making gummy worms in his kitchen during COVID when he realized candy hadn’t been reimagined for today’s consumer. With no food science background, he started experimenting—less sugar, no artificial dyes, and all the nostalgia of sour gummies.

From a Kickstarter launch in 2023 to landing in retailers like Foxtrot and Hy-Vee within months, Rotten has grown fast by pairing bold branding with better-for-you candy that doesn’t compromise on taste. In this episode, Michael shares how he built Rotten from scratch, why brand world-building matters in CPG, and what the future of candy looks like when it’s fun and functional.

After a career in venture capital and running e-commerce at The Wonderful Company, Jordan Bass set out to reinvent the occasion of “cracking a cold one.”
In 2020, he co-founded HOP WTR—a sparkling water infused with hops, adaptogens, and nootropics—crafted to deliver the refreshment of a beer without the booze, calories, or regret. Launching DTC first, Bass and his team quickly proved demand, then scaled into retail within months. Early partners like Erewhon validated the brand, while flavors like Blood Orange became cult favorites.
Today, HOP WTR is one of the fastest-growing names in non-alcoholic beverages, serving a generation of “enlightened overachievers” who want better choices without giving up the ritual. In this episode, Jordan shares how he turned a personal need into a category-shaping brand—and why momentum matters more than overthinking.

He launched Gardyn, a direct-to-consumer hydroponic system that lets anyone grow fresh produce indoors with minimal effort and zero green thumb. Since launch, Gardyn users have grown over 3.5 million pounds of food, saved 60 million gallons of water, and eliminated 1.9 million pounds of food waste—all from their own kitchens. In this episode, FX shares how he turned a simple idea into one of the most innovative companies in home agriculture—and how technology can actually bring us closer to nature, not further from it.

They raised $10M, shipped to 40+ countries, won Best of CES, and built a loyal customer base that actively shapes the product.
This is how a former engineer brought a dead product back to life—and built one of the most trusted names in sleep tech.

Emily Hosie spent over a decade inside some of the biggest names in off-price retail—Saks Off 5th, Holt Renfrew, and TJX—before launching REBEL, the first curated marketplace for open-box baby and home goods. After a year of being turned away by brands unwilling to admit the waste, REBEL secured major partners—and then a defining moment came. Bed Bath & Beyond and buybuy BABY filed for bankruptcy, and REBEL was tapped to process the returns. Overnight, volume surged and the tech had to scale fast. Today, REBEL processes 70,000 SKUs a week and operates a 300,000 sq. ft. facility in North Carolina. They’ve saved over 25 million pounds of product from landfill—all while becoming a go-to platform for Gen Z and millennial consumers looking for trusted brands at up to 50% off.

Mike Lombardo didn’t come from food and bev. He was a college student, Army National Guard soldier, and drummer chasing big ideas. But when his high school swim teammate Kayvon began managing ulcerative colitis by mixing prebiotic tea, everything changed. The two co-founders started bottling it out of a brewery in New Jersey—selling to one Whole Foods, cold-brewing by hand, and making just $18K in their first year.
Then COVID hit, and they scrapped everything. In 2021, they relaunched as Halfday: a better-for-you iced tea with 3–5g of sugar, 8g of prebiotic fiber, and branding that reimagined the Arizona and Snapple classics they grew up on. They pitched their first retail account from a hospital bed, filled their first PO with 60,000 cans in six weeks, and packed boxes themselves to make it happen. One press article brought in $10K in DTC sales overnight.
Now, Halfday is stocked nationwide, building a brand that stands out in one of the most competitive categories in CPG.

Berk Bahceci left a career in antitrust law in Washington, D.C., to build something deeply personal. Born in Turkey and raised around olive groves, Berk saw a massive blind spot in the U.S. market: despite being one of the top producers in the world, Turkish olive oil had no brand recognition on American shelves. So, he built one from scratch. In this episode, Berk shares how he vertically integrated Heraclea—from grove to bottle—and became the world’s first Fair Trade certified olive oil company. We talk sourcing, scaling without a single customer, and why flavored oils like garlic and lemon are flying off shelves.

Staff started with a plunger—yes, a plunger—designed to be bold, colorful, and functional, a far cry from the bland utility items most of us keep hidden away.

Charlie shares his process of bringing this vision to life, from early sketches and prototypes to finding the right manufacturers.

In this episode I'm joined by Bartosz Skwarczek of G2A. He started G2A in 2010 with a small team and a big idea—create the world’s largest digital marketplace for gaming products. What began in a small room in Poland with just six people has grown into a platform serving over 25 million customers in 180 countries. Today, G2A is the largest marketplace for digital goods, from games to software and gift cards.
Bartosz shares how he made bold moves, from navigating tough early days in the steel industry to betting on the digital gaming market when it was still in its infancy. He talks about the risk of shifting from a store model to a marketplace in 2014—something that most people thought was impossible. But Bartosz and his team believed in their vision, and it paid off.
Now, 15 years later, G2A has become an industry leader, and Bartosz is still looking ahead—focusing on AI, building stronger partnerships with influencers, and expanding into new markets.

In this episode I am joined by Austin Maxwell of Kanga Coolers, the worlds first iceless cooler for your case, keeping beverages cold for up to 7 hours. The co-founders all had expensive coolers that could keep their drinks cold for 3 weeks, but never used them to keep their drinks cold for 3 hours!
They were too bulky to carry, and getting ice each time was a hassle. So, they would just grab a cold case from the store and just drink it as it got warm.
That’s when it hit them: if they're already getting a cold case from the store, why not just keep it cold for the entire time they're actually going to enjoy it? The concept behind the Kase Mate was born: a soft cooler that slides around a cold case of beer, and keeps it cold for up to 7 hours without the need for ice.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Stacy Madison, founder of Stacy's Pita Chips, America's top selling and most renown pita chips. While running her food cart "Stacy's D'Lites", selling sandwiches, Stacy thought of an incentive idea for her customers. She began to make and passed out pressed pita bread "pita chips", motivating customers to hold in the sometimes long wait lines.
As time progressed, demand for Stacy's Chips began to outgrow the cart, leading Stacy to specialize in selling strictly the chips. While there were many bumps with packaging, shipping logistics, and retail placement, Stacy realized the growth potential and continued to pivot to what worked best. Finding massive success in sales and retail expansion, Stacy's sold to PepsiCo in 2006.
Today, Stacy can be seen running her company, BeBold Bars, selling energy bars high in whole grain with protein from plants.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Ryan Laverty, co-founder of VIDE, ready-to-drink vodka and tequila sodas, without the unwanted sugar and carbs. Both students at Penn State, Ryan and his co-founder Sal, noticed a large void in the alcoholic beverage market. With heavy demand around seltzers, consumers truly weren't aware what was actually inside, due to lack of brand transparency.
Taking this into account, they went on to create VIDE, a drink that is transparent, convenient, and made with quality ingredients. When drinking VIDE, expect to have the same great seltzer taste, without the throat numbing from oversaturated carbonation.

Kelsey became sober in 2015 and officially launched Doughp in 2017 with a deep passion towards providing the best cookie dough on the market.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Sabin Lomac, co-founder of Cousins Maine Lobster, brining authentic Maine lobster nationwide through food trucks and brick & mortar restaurants. Growing up in Maine, Sabin and his family had been absorbed into the seafood space, consisting in memorable items such as the lobster role.
As Sabin departed for California, he quickly became aware of the LA scene... Cheap, inauthentic foods, provided for the typical unaware tourist. When Sabin's cousin Jimmy came to visit, they recalled on the food back home in contrast to California. The childhood picnics, home feeling, and of course the delicious lobster, pushed them to do something about the void in the LA food scene.
In 2012, they launched their first food truck, quickly experiencing substantial lines. Following quick growth and a brand customers gravitated towards, the cousins decided to make an appearance on ABC's, Shark Tank. Landing a deal with Barbara Corcoran, Cousins Maine Lobster has grown the business into a franchise machine, acquiring locations across the U.S.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Raymond Lei, co-founder of Lumina, the world's first studio-quality 4k webcam powered by AI. Growing up with a heavy entrepreneurial spirit, Raymond created his first company, "ooShirts", while in high school. He came across the problem of printed on-demand shirts, to be overpriced, along with an extensive wait time. Solving this problem with "ooShirts" and after massive growth, Raymond dropped out of UC Berkeley to focus on the business full time.
Since then, Raymond launches numerous companies within the printing and E-commerce sector, processing over $1 billion in transactions. Fast forward to 2021, Raymond and his co-founder, Mike, created Lumina out of the visible lack of quality in remote team meetings. When in meetings, the person with the greatest quality video, typically attracts the most attention from the team. By introducing Lumina, they are able to provide a 4k studio-quality webcam, without the excessive need for extra equipment. Now your entire team can have the greatest quality possible, at a low cost and minimal setup. Launching this week (8/24), Lumina is already at $240,000, with 1,420 backers in just two days.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Jaime Schmidt, founder of Schmidt's Naturals, one of the top natural deodorant brands in the world. Growing up with an entrepreneurial itch with running her own garage sales, lemonade stands, and baby sitting, Jaime went on to study business at Michigan State University. Following her time at Michigan State, Jaime worked numerous jobs before she was led to get her masters at DePaul University.
Jaime started making natural products in her kitchen back in 2010. Pregnant at the time, she was searching for a natural deodorant that not only smelled great, but actually worked. Put simply, there wasn’t anything on the market that met her expectations, so she made her own. Thousands of hours of research and hundreds of recipes later, Jaime arrived at her ideal deodorant formula. After taking her formulas to the local farmers market as proof of concept, Schmidt’s spread quickly. After finding much success in distribution and DTC growth, Schmidt's was acquired by Unilever in 2017.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Abby Taylor, founder of Playa Bowls, tropical super fruit bowls, prepared on demand nation wide. Surfing being a major part of Abby's upbringing, various açaí bowls were present at most surf towns she would visit. Taking this into account, Abby and her co-founder, Robert, decided to recreate their favorite recipes with their own twist at home at the Jersey Shore.
They made a deal with the owner of the pizza shop they lived above on 8th Avenue in Belmar, NJ. They bought a blender, a patio table, a fridge & a freezer and set up a makeshift pop up stand on the sidewalk in front of the pizza shop. They spent a lot of time & effort telling their story and educating customers on the benefits of acai. As word spread of this creative & intuitive pop up stand, more & more people stood in line on the side of Ocean Avenue to see what Playa Bowls was all about. After finding much success with this location, they expanded to now over 120 locations nationwide.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Stan Hartling, Founder of The Hartling Group, a real estate sales and development firm specializing in luxury Caribbean condominiums and villas. Growing up in Canada, Stan was nurtured with the mindset where there is no such thing as "no" as an answer. He went on to study accounting at Saint Marys in Nova Scotia, where he went on to become a chartered accountant.
Following a liquidation with an accounting firm Stan aided in growing, he attended an off shore tax seminar in Turks & Caicos. Having a vision that no-one has approached on the island, Stan went on to begin the construction of what has introduced tourism as we see it today, to Turks & Caicos. In 1996 Stan purchased an initial beachfront parcel of land on Grace Bay Beach in Providenciales, on which he planned to develop a 90-unit condominium resort. The Sands opened in December 1998 and today it is one of the most successful resorts in the region with solid year-over-year revenue growth.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Kyle Widrick, Founder of Win Brands Group, a leading DTC platform to build and scale the most innovative customer-first brands in the world. At an early age, Kyle had an adaptation of entrepreneurship. Following his time in college and realizing how challenging it could be to find housing, he went on to create "Post Grad", leveraging ambassadors across various universities, to collect leads for referral. Those referrals were then placed with brokers, in which Post Grad aided in the seeding.
While Kyle has built an extensive expertise in entrepreneurship around his own ventures, he went on to create Win Brands Group. Understanding that the entrepreneurial journey is a long road and you need the right people for support, Kyle created Win to help entrepreneurs and startups achieve greater potential, around all aspects of their business.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Geoff McFarlane, co-founder of Winc, a membership focused wine company, based off of your taste preference. Geoff studied finance and accounting at the University of Denver, in which he had a very unique experience, being in the midst of his father going through a lung transplant. This encounter led Geoff to focus on school, but also have much time put towards family an external ventures.
Following his time with creating numerous business around hospitality and real estate, Geoff and his co-founder, Xander Oxman, became aware of a problem in the wine industry... the long lasting tradition of sharing a glass of wine, isn't exactly consumer friendly around accessibility and experience. They went on to create Winc in 2012 by joining forces with a winemaker, to build a personalized wine club. From a consumer POV, simply fill in your preferences, and a carefully curated membership will be customized to your liking. From there, you can evaluate on the chosen wines, and adjust accordingly on your next batch. Today, Winc is a thriving community of hundreds of thousands of wine lovers that is growing everyday.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Marc Werner, Founder of GhostBed, a DTC mattress in a box company. Marc comes from a very successful and iconic family background. His grandfather created the company Werner, which you most likely own one of their ladders. When his father took over the family business, Werner Co. ended up inventing the aluminum and fiberglass ladder, used all over the world, both for commercial and residential use.
Through the years of being an athlete, Marc had to go through 3 neck surgeries. As you can presume, finding comfort was a challenge, specifically a pillow or mattress that worked for his condition. This inspired him to create Nature's Sleep, a mattress company sold through brick and mortar. Overtime, E-commerce began to erupt and Marc wanted to pivot and enter this new category with a new brand... GhostBed. First launching with their first mattress, the GhostBed Classic (perfect in-between for all sleepers), GhostBed provides a wide range of mattresses for all sleeping preferences... all shipped in a box, to your door. With patented materials and combinations, GhostBed provides top quality products from mattresses, pillows, frames, and more.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Paul Farago, founder of Ace Marks, premium Italian dress shoes, sold DTC. Growing up, Paul was nurtured into a family that also had a passion for the shoe business, where he was grounded into the ins and outs of entrepreneurship. Paul went on to study finance and marketing at the University of Miami, which ultimately led him back to the family business.
After his time at the family business, Paul went on to get a law degree to become a commercial litigator. Though he ventured on this new path, he never truly left the family business, especially given the 2008 financial crisis. With the expertise built both in the shoe business and in law, an obvious issue came clear to Paul... if you want a premium, luxury shoe, there is a painful price to follow. Taking this problem, Paul went on to solve it by discovering a small factory in Italy and collaborated on making Italian leather shoes, with top of the line craftsmanship... Welcome to Ace Marks, luxury footwear, without the middleman markups.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Sashee Chandran, founder of Tea Drops, bagless, organic tea, pressed into shapes, which dissolve in your hot cup of water. Tea has always been a staple in Sashee's upbringing, especially being born to a Chinese mother and Sri Lankan father. She witnessed first hand how the ritual of tea brought people and communities together.
Working in Silicon Valley, Sashee, like many others, Sashee consumed some form of beverage, for energy throughout the work day. The process of making loose leaf tea began to interfere with efficiency, simply due to the many steps. Tea Drops was created to eliminate the frustration of tea bags, and get straight to what the consumer wants... a ready to drink, hot cup of tea. Simply open the container, grab a drop, place it in your cup, and enjoy! Tea Drops can be found in over 1,500 stores nation wide along with DTC through their site.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Jeremy Howlett, co-founder of Altra Running, one of the top manufactures of road and trail running shoes. Jeremy grew up in Utah, where he was nurtured with an entrepreneurship mindset for discovery and marketing. As contrary as it may sound, Jeremy was not a runner, nor into running growing up. His aunt and uncle owned a running shoe store, where his cousin began to modify customers existing shoes, to fit their stride needs. Realizing the demand for this modification and no existence in the current market, Jeremy proposed to create and sell these shoes from scratch... enter Altra.
Altra was launched in 2009, partnering with Pulse Labs, an engineering firm at Brigham Young University, and with contract manufacturers in Asia. They were able to create this shoe that enabled runners to correctly form their stride, with the right heel angle. Jeremy and the team quickly found massive success, winning awards in Runners World Magazine, Competitor Magazine, Men's Journal, and more. The company has grew at a major annual revenue growth rate, and has been fully acquired by VF Corporation in 2018.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Julie Smolyansky, CEO of Lifeway Foods, America's largest manufacturer of kefir. Lifeway began in 1986, when Julie's parents, Russian immigrants Michael and Ludmila Smolyansky began making Kefir in the basement of their Skokie, IL home. The cultured dairy drink had been popular in Eastern Europe for centuries, but the Smolyansky family was determined to share their delicious health secret with their newfound home. While finding massive success with Lifeway, Julie's father ended up passing away in 2002, which led her to take over the position as CEO...
With the new position, Julie became the youngest female CEO of a publicly held firm at age 27. Under her leadership, the Company has expanded distribution throughout the United States, Mexico, the UK, and Ireland as well as portions of Central and South America and the Caribbean. Continuing the companies growth, Lifeway went from $12 million in annual revenue when Julie first took over to surpassing $120 million in annual revenue.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Kevin McCray, founder of Kevin's Natural Foods, clean, ready to eat entrees, sauces and seasonings. Kevin battled a severe auto-immune disorder for years. He then turned paleo when conventional medicine wasn't working and that lifestyle change was both the cure and the motivation needed to start Kevin's Natural Foods.
Kevin's Natural Foods is the only natural and health-focused refrigerated entrée brand in the nation. Launching in the fall of 2019, the company recorded $4.5 million in sales during its first quarter. Now being in over 6,000 retail locations nationwide and selling DTC, Kevin's Natural Foods is forecasted to do $100 million in sales this year.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Edgar Blazona, Founder of BenchMade Modern, custom sofas and sectionals, without the typical extensive build time. Edgar grew up into a family surrounded by construction, which ultimately had a direct impact on his future endeavors into design. Not following the tratidtional education route, he then ended up dropping out of high school and pursuing his passion at the time... graffiti art.
Edgar went on to create multiple companies such as Modular Dwellings (prefab buildings for the DIY consumer) and True Modern (a wholesale furniture model). Realizing the issue of custom furniture having extensive build to delivery times, he continued his passion for modernism by creating BenchMade Modern, custom sofas delivered within one month. Choose your desired size, design, and material, and expect a custom sofa to be delivered to your doorstep in no time.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Billy Bosch, Founder of ICONIC, premium, grass fed protein drinks. Following his time studying business management at LSU, Billy went into the the workforce focusing primarily on sales positions. The fast paced lifestyle led Billy's diet to consist of unhealthy, high calorie meals, leading to facing a series of chronic health issues. After consulting with his doctor, it became clear that he would have to partake a pill to aid in his journey, but to Billy, there had to be a better solution...
He decided to seek advice from Registered Dietitian Molly Kimball, who advised him to an alternative solution...clean up his diet. This led him to comprise ingredients towards creating his dream protein drink, a drink consisting in low sugar, high-quality protein source, no artificial ingredients and no sugar alcohols. Today, ICONIC can be found in over 5,000 retailers nation wide, along with DTC, due to being shelf stable.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Jon Richards, Co-Founder of NOMATIC, minimalistic gear with a strong focus on functionality. Growing up, Jon had a passion for entrepreneurship, as he started a service business cleaning the area's garbage cans for a fee. Through this, he was making more in one day, than his friends were making for 40 hour work weeks.
Following his time at BYU and working in corporate finance, Jon and his cousin, Jacob, came up with this idea of a minimalistic wallet. After launching that initial product on Kickstarter, they expected to receive around 50 orders... they happened to land 6,000. Since then, NOMATIC has launched numerous travel products, selling to hundreds of thousands of customers worldwide.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Drew Whited, Founder of Waggin Water, an on-the-go water solution for pets. Growing up in Indiana, Drew didn't have the greatest support from his surroundings and community. Using this as a major motivator, Drew was determined through life, to achieve what he strives for and to prove those who doubted, that he was capable.
Starting his entrepreneurial journey in the alcoholic beverage industry, Drew went on to create DTC and retail companies such as, Feni, Minute Mixology, and Coastal Spritz. While he has found success in this area, he later discovered a major void in efficiency for our pets... a clean, pull and peel water solution, for anywhere. Whether you're at the beach and don't want kicked up sand in your water, the airport, a park... pet's desire the same clean water as you would. Understanding their plastic footprint, Waggin Water has gone Plastic Neutral through its partnership with rePurpose Global, removing twice the amount of plastic waste out of nature as they use. Being such a young company, Waggin Water has found massive retail success over the past year, such as locking in spots with Target, Camping World, 7 Eleven, and more.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Bill Phelps, Co-Founder of Wetzel's Pretzels, an American fast food franchise, specializing in their variety of pretzel types. Growing up in Massachusetts, Bill's father was the creator of the rawhide dog bone. Being surrounded by entrepreneurship and business, Bill went on to study at Middlebury College for economics.
Following his time in college, Bill went on to work with his father, in which he then initiated the businesses selloff to the company Nestle. Following the sell, Bill worked for Nestle from 1990-1994, where he met his now co-founder, Rick Wetzel. While on a business trip to Seattle, the two of them came across a pretzel store in a mall that had fresh pretzels, low cost of goods, but poor marketing. They came to the agreement that they could create something better, and Bill wrote their business plan on a napkin, at a restaurant that night... to open their first store by November.
Today, Bill is the current CEO of Daves Hot Chicken and Rick went on to create Blaze Pizza. The two of them remain close business partners, as Bill is a founding investor in Blaze and they share office space in Pasadena.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Hap Klopp, Founder and ex-CEO of The North Face, one of the world's leading outdoor apparel brands. Growing up in Washington, Hap was drawn to the outdoors and exploration. His family had a company in which Hap later took over and sold following his years at Stanford University.
Following Stanford, Hap realized he didn't fit in corporate business, after numerous interviews requiring dress code and for his real name, "Kenneth" to be used, rather than Hap. He then went on to use the money left from the family business, to purchase a number of existing outdoor product stores, on the west coast. These stores began to expand as they transitioned to become The North Face, and manufactured their own products. From the start, Hap's vision with The North Face was to replace existing clothing with better insulated and lightweight material, that would ultimately allow for further exploration.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Ajay Kori, Founder of Allay Lamp, a therapy lamp for migraine sufferers, using a patented narrow band of green light, discovered by Harvard neuroscientist, Dr. Rami Burstein.

While collaborating with Dr. Rami Burstein, they wanted to find the correct light band that could limit stress on the eyes, that result to migraines. This type of bulb was first estimated to $20,000, until they found a contact who worked with light installation for NASA on the space station, who was able to introduce a precious band at an affordable price. From this, the Allay Lamp was born and has been effective nation wide.

Taking this into account, Wylie returned home and sewed up their first prototype, which evolved to become Rumpl as it is today.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode I am joined by Shawn Nelson, Founder of Lovesac, a diverse furniture company, with their parent product... the Sac; a beanbag-like sac, filled with a proprietary blend of recycled foam remnants called Durafoam.
Growing up in Utah, Shawn was nurtured with a driven mindset, where he diversified in many areas. Shawn attended the University of Utah where he studied both music and Chinese. At 18 years old, Shawn conceptualized the idea of creating a giant sac that served a greater offering than the current average bean bag. After experimenting with a plethora of materials and fillings, Shawn's first prototype grew as a major enjoyment within his friends and beyond. Shawn has reached extensive success with his journey with Lovesac, along with winning $1,000,000 in Richard Branson's 2004 Rebel Billionaire. What started out as an experiment, later turned into Lovesac, a furniture company with over 70 locations, publicly listed on NASDAQ, and features an array of products from the initial Sac to a full Sactional (sectional couch).

This opened up an opportunity for Greg and his wife to start the first mens care brand through DTC that differed from other brands...a uniform price strategy. Each tie was $15 across the board, which allowed for customers to focus more on the design and fit, rather than price diverting them.
Starting The Tie Bar out of their basement, Greg and his wife eventually grew it to over $19 million in annual revenue. Greg eventually sold the business to a private equity group in 2013. In 2019, Greg acquired Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont, where he now operates full time as CEO.

Through conversation, it became clear that excessive seemed to become more effective when in the winter months, due to the unawareness of sweat or fatigue.
Jimmy took this theory to the test with his Co-Founder, Johnny, when they performed a training session in a 38° beer fridge, in Brooklyn. This test inspired the development of Brrrn as it is today.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Joe Foster, the founder behind the legendary brand we all know, Reebok. Born in 1935, Joe Grew up in Bolton, England, right in the midst of World War II. Joe's origin come from his grandfather Joseph, who owned J.W. Foster and Sons, a family shoe business out of Bolton. J.W. Foster and Sons was the pioneer behind creating the track spike, which revolutionized running as we know it today.
After returning from the war, Joe and his brother, Jeff, realized the rise in competitors, who were doing something that J.W. Foster and Sons wasn't evolving with... marketing. Joe and Jeff departed the family business in 1958 to create what is now known as Reebok. Listen as we talk about Joe's upbringing with the family business, Joe's transition to Reebok, and Joe's journey through story telling.

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Justin Schneider, CEO and Co-Founder of Wolf & Shepherd, home of arguably the most comfortable dress shoes. Growing up in Atlanta, Georgia, Justin comes from Korean and German descent, where expectations were high through family members attending prestigious universities. Justin studied architecture at the University of Notre Dame, where he ran track and field, which had much impact on his future endeavors.
After working in design at some of the world's leading footwear brands, Justin realized the void in a comfortable dress shoe that the fast-paced corporate world calls for. Implementing a combination of both casual and formal materials, Wolf & Shepherd was born, a shoes made to work as hard as you do. Wolf & Shepherd shoes were put to the test when a runner ran a half marathon, winning first place and setting a Guinness World Record for the fasted half marathon in dress shoes. In 2018, Justin himself ran the iconic running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, all while wearing a pair of Wolf & Shepherds. Through these physical experiments and collaborations with athletes such as Steve Nash, Wolf & Shepherd is completely revolutionizing the dress shoe industry.
