In this episode, we sit down with CBS Sacramento news anchor Tony Lopez to talk about communicating under pressure, public speaking, and the changing media landscape.

Drawing on more than 35 years in television news, Tony shares how he stays calm during breaking news, handles unexpected moments live on air, and delivers a clear message when emotions are running high. He also discusses his growing work as a keynote speaker and the practical communication lessons he brings to businesses, nonprofits, and leadership teams.

We also explore artificial intelligence, changing viewing habits, trust in local journalism, and why each of us should be more intentional about the information we consume.

Brandon Robinson opened Tipsy Putt's first location in downtown Sacramento on November 1, 2019. Four months later, the world shut down.

He'd already built and sold a multi-state med spa chain. He'd discovered an indoor mini golf bar in Kirkland, Washington on a packed Monday night and written a $150,000 check for a one-page license agreement to bring it to California. Then COVID took the whole thing to zero overnight.

This is the story of what he rebuilt — a four-location brand with its own
identity, roughly 100,000 app downloads, and a fundraising model that turns investors into opening-day customers.

Brandon and Mark get into the real numbers: why post-pandemic sites do $3-6M where they used to do $6-10M, why chasing Class A real estate was the expensive lesson, how to structure a raise as an SPV per market instead of selling equity in the parent, and the brutal honest math of angel investing.

Then they close on fatherhood, mentorship, and the grandfather who went from 1930s Detroit foster care to one of the top 100 State Farm agents in the country — and why that story is the whole case for supporting veterans in transition.

Jay Ezzell joins the Fatherhood, Finance and Patriotism series for a conversation about raising a strong family, building financial discipline, and appreciating the freedom and opportunity that make America worth protecting.

Jay is the Founder and Managing Director of Natoma Wealth, where he helps families, entrepreneurs, and business owners think through investing, portfolio construction, risk, private markets, wealth strategy, and long-term financial planning.

But this conversation goes far beyond money.

Jay shares what life is like as a father of five, why family dinner matters, how he and his wife Amy built a home centered on communication and accountability, and why kids need to learn responsibility, work ethic, and financial basics early.

The conversation also dives into investing, risk tolerance, market volatility, cash, bonds, Bitcoin, private markets, and how entrepreneurs should think about allocating capital after building or selling a business.

In the patriotism portion of the episode, Jay reflects on his family’s military background, the meaning of freedom, the importance of giving back locally, and why America’s strength comes from opportunity, community, and leadership at home.

Strong families build strong communities. Strong communities build a stronger America.

Success is not just about money.

In this episode of the Fatherhood, Finance and Patriotism series, Brad Frisk shares a powerful way to think about life priorities through what he calls the four cups framework: faith, family, business, and health. For entrepreneurs, fathers, and high achievers, the challenge is not just building wealth — it is learning how to keep those four cups full without losing sight of what matters most.

Brad Frisk, Founder and CEO of Cypress Creek Capital Group, joins the conversation to talk about fatherhood, raising kids, building trust, financial discipline, and the constant balancing act between success and personal growth.

The conversation also dives into the financial side of entrepreneurship, including exit planning, selling a business, building the right advisory team, reducing taxes, QSBS, ESOPs, IPOs, market volatility, and what business owners should be thinking about before and after a major liquidity event.

But this episode goes beyond finance.

It is really about how to think clearly about success, how to align your life priorities, and how to build a life that works not just on paper, but at home, in your relationships, and in the long term.

AI-agent technology is changing startup fundraising, and Pitch Protocol is building a fundraising platform designed for the next era of venture capital.

In this episode, Mark Haney sits down with Rick Spencer and Josh May from Growth Factory Ventures to talk about Pitch Protocol, an agent-to-agent fundraising platform that could change how founders pitch, how investors evaluate deals, and how capital moves in the startup world.

For decades, founders have relied on pitch decks, cold emails, investor meetings, and traditional data rooms to raise capital. But in an AI-native world, that process can be slow, inefficient, and outdated. Pitch Protocol is built around a new idea: what happens when a founder’s ai-agent can package a live data room, connect with an investor’s ai-agent, and help venture capital firms evaluate opportunities faster?

Rick and Josh explain how Pitch Protocol helps founders prepare their company, surface key information, match with the right investors, and spend more time building instead of fundraising. They also discuss how venture capital firms, angel investors, family offices, and startup founders will need to adapt as AI agents become part of the fundraising process.

This conversation covers Pitch Protocol, ai-agent fundraising, venture capital, startup funding, agentic AI, AI-native companies, MCP, data rooms, angel investing, founder diligence, venture studios, and why the traditional pitch deck may be on its way out.

Achieving six figure trading results at 19 years old requires more than luck. In this episode, Alan Cordano breaks down the trading strategy, discipline, and risk-taking mindset that helped him go from $300 in his bank account to over $100,000 in prop firm trading payouts.

Alan is a former Division I football player who walked away from the University of Hawaii, quit football, and chose entrepreneurship instead. In this conversation, he explains how he reached six figure trading success in just a few months, how prop firm trading works, and how he uses AI tools, trading signals, and funded accounts to execute his strategy.

Beyond the trades, Alan shares how he plans to scale his momentum using meta ads, personal branding, and AI. He talks about building Snoozer, growing a trading community, promoting his story online, and using technology as a force multiplier for business growth.

This episode also goes deeper than trading. Alan opens up about leaving football, telling his parents, dealing with doubt, handling losses, finding faith, and learning how to become his own man while building a business at 19.

Distraction is everywhere. Our attention span is getting shorter. And mindfulness may be one of the most important skills a father, leader, or entrepreneur can practice today.

In this episode of the Fatherhood, Finance and Patriotism series, Colin Roe shares a powerful reminder: proximity does not equal presence.

Being in the same room with your kids is not the same as being fully engaged. Being home is not the same as being present. And in a world full of phones, notifications, work pressure, and constant noise, Colin challenges dads to put the distractions down and give their families the attention they deserve.

Colin is a husband, father, Roseville native, and real estate leader with Fidelity National Title. In this conversation, he talks about growing up in the Sacramento region, raising two daughters, the role of grandparents and family legacy, and why gratitude, curiosity, generosity, and presence are values he wants to pass down.

The conversation also dives into real estate, homeownership, sacrifice, financial discipline, and why buying a home is about more than appreciation. It is about stability, family memories, and building something that lasts.

Colin also shares his perspective on patriotism, gratitude for America, civic responsibility, and why the future of the country depends on unity, curiosity, and choosing to focus on what we have in common.

Invest in family first.

Ray Cordano built wealth through real estate, entrepreneurship, and a contrarian approach to life — but his biggest investment has always been his time with his family.

In this episode of the Fatherhood, Finance and Patriotism series, Ray shares how reading Rich Dad Poor Dad shaped his path, why he built businesses to create freedom, and how that freedom allowed him to become a full-time dad. He talks about building a real estate portfolio, flipping homes in San Francisco, raising entrepreneurial kids, coaching sports, and why he believes the next generation has massive opportunity ahead.

Ray also opens up about how yoga changed his life, what he learned from his parents, why he chose to let his kids make mistakes, and how AI could reshape work, family life, and entrepreneurship in the years ahead.

This conversation is about more than money. It’s about freedom, family, responsibility, and what Ray calls the greatest gift America gives us: the opportunity to choose how we live.

The District Attorney’s office, local security, police leadership, and the fight against crime all play a major role in whether a community feels safe enough for families, businesses, schools, and neighborhoods to thrive.

In this episode, we sit down with Placer County District Attorney Morgan Gire, Placer County Sheriff Wayne Woo, and Rocklin Mayor Dave Bass for a conversation about public safety, accountability, law enforcement, and what it really takes to build a community where criminals think twice.

They discuss why safe communities attract families, businesses, investment, and opportunity — and why consequences matter. The conversation covers retail theft, Prop 36, fentanyl, homelessness, public trust in law enforcement, school safety, AI, social media, and the role parents and citizens play in protecting the places they love.

We also discuss the justice system and the importance of experienced, fair, and accountable judges. Dave Bass, currently Mayor of Rocklin and a Deputy District Attorney in Sacramento County, is running for Placer County Superior Court Judge, and the conversation touches on why judicial elections matter and how judges impact public safety, families, businesses, and the broader community.

If you care about safety, leadership, accountability, and building communities where people can thrive, this is a conversation worth watching.

Fatherhood, finance, and patriotism — three things that shape how families are built, how futures are protected, and how communities stay strong.

This conversation with Marcus Haney launches a new series centered on the values that matter most: showing up as a father, taking responsibility for the future, and loving America enough to strengthen it from the inside out.

Marcus is a Marine veteran, entrepreneur, father of five, and leader of AllegiantVETS, one of the largest SkillBridge operators in the country. In this conversation, he shares lessons from military service, fatherhood, entrepreneurship, and helping more than 20,000 service members transition into civilian careers.

The discussion gets personal — from raising kids in a blended family, to discipline and respect in the home, to investing in yourself, buying real estate, coaching football, honoring those who serve, and building a legacy that outlives you.

Strong families build strong communities. Strong communities build a stronger America.

What if cancer could be treated without destroying the rest of your body?

In this episode, biotech founder Brad Niles (CEO of ARIZ Precision Medicine) breaks down a potential breakthrough in cancer treatment—one that targets cancer cells with precision instead of the “poison everything” approach of traditional chemotherapy.

In early testing, his team saw:
👉 90% cancer cell kill rate
👉 With only ~10% impact on healthy cells

If that holds up… it could change everything.

We dive into:
• Why chemotherapy hasn’t changed much in 100+ years
• What “RNA-based precision medicine” actually means (in plain English)
• How scientists are targeting the genetic drivers of cancer
• The long road from lab discovery to human trials
• Why AI is accelerating drug discovery faster than ever

This is one of those conversations that makes you think:
Are we closer than ever to beating cancer?

In this episode, we dive into one of the most overlooked strategies in entrepreneurship: buying businesses instead of starting them.

Kasey Cotulla, owner of Delta Print Group, built a $65M+ company (on track for $75M+) not by launching startups—but by acquiring and scaling existing businesses across Northern California.

Starting as a forklift driver in a Sacramento print shop, Kasey worked his way up, eventually buying into a struggling company during the Great Recession. From there, he executed a powerful M&A (mergers and acquisitions) strategy, acquiring more than a dozen companies and building one of the largest commercial print and mail operations in the region.

In this conversation, we break down:
• Why buying a business can be smarter than starting one
• How to find and evaluate acquisition opportunities
• Financing strategies (SBA loans, seller financing, partnerships)
• How to integrate and scale acquired companies
• Lessons from building a $75M business in a “mature” industry

If you're an entrepreneur, investor, or operator looking to grow, this episode will change how you think about building a business.

What does it really take to build a custom dream home?

In this episode, we sit down with Paul and Rachel Hills—award-winning designers and builders behind some of the most impressive high-end custom homes in Northern California, Tahoe, and beyond.

From architecture and construction to interior design, they walk through what separates an average home from a truly exceptional one.

We also explore a unique project involving the construction of an underground bunker, complete with a secret door and a Browning vault door designed for security. Built with the help of a specialized bunker construction company, this hidden bunker showcases the level of planning, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that goes into high-end custom builds.

It’s a fascinating look at how far custom home design can go—combining functionality, creativity, and long-term thinking into one cohesive vision.

They told him it couldn’t be done… but Mathew Magno built a company that’s transforming how cities, universities, and hospitals manage parking.

In this episode, the Co-Founder and CEO of Japa shares how his frustration with spending 20–30 minutes searching for parking turned into a smart parking startup now used by major institutions like UCLA and UC Berkeley—and expanding across the United States.

Japa is redefining parking with real-time data, sensors, and AI-powered insights that help drivers find parking faster and help organizations optimize their parking infrastructure. In some cases, Japa has helped cities avoid tens of millions of dollars in new parking construction costs—while helping people park up to 50% faster.

If you’re interested in startups, smart cities, AI, or building a company from scratch, this conversation breaks down what it really takes to go from idea to national scale.

In this episode, we cover:
• How Japa uses smart parking technology, sensors, and real-time data
• The true cost of building parking (up to $40,000–$50,000 per space in California)
• How cities and universities optimize parking without building more structures
• What it takes to scale a startup across campuses and major institutions
• Lessons from proving doubters wrong and building something “impossible”

Mathew Magno’s story is a reminder that entrepreneurship is about solving real problems—and having the conviction to keep going when others say it won’t work.

Defense technology is advancing rapidly, and the rise of the autonomous drone is at the center of the latest wave of military innovation. In this conversation with Jeffrey Wright and Alistair Xhayet of SplashOne, we explore how new startups are rethinking aerial combat and the economics of modern warfare.

SplashOne is developing an autonomous drone designed to hunt and intercept other drones in flight. As drone swarms become more common on modern battlefields, traditional missile systems can be too expensive to keep up with the scale and speed of these threats.

The team behind SplashOne believes the future of military innovation may come from reusable fighter drones capable of intercepting hostile drones repeatedly rather than destroying themselves like traditional missiles.

Jeffrey Wright, a recently retired military strategist specializing in drone warfare, and Alistair Xhayet, who helps lead operations and growth at SplashOne, discuss why the battlefield is shifting toward autonomous systems and how startups are driving the next generation of defense technology.

In this conversation we discuss:

• Why cheap drones are reshaping modern warfare
• The rise of the autonomous drone in defense technology
• The economics of drones versus traditional missile systems
• Military innovation coming from startups rather than large defense contractors
• How systems like Roadrunner are influencing the next generation of drone defense
• Why AI and autonomy will define the future of aerial combat

Whether you're interested in defense technology, autonomous drone systems, startups, or military innovation, this discussion offers a look at how engineers and founders are building the next generation of aerial defense.

What does winning look like to you?

“The best businesses are built on a good idea and solid strategic planning.”
In this episode of The Mark Haney Show, Ivan Katrenyak — CEO of IMKAT Homes, one of California’s leading ADU builders — explains why both idea and execution matter, and why neither works without the other.

Ivan shares how strong business mindset, disciplined strategy, and relentless follow-through helped scale IMKAT into a $50M ADU business by age 28, while simultaneously leading a growing faith movement through United Church and United Revival.

This conversation explores:
• Why a great idea without strategy fails — and why strategy without vision stalls
• How effective idea execution drives real business growth
• The role of faith, clarity, and conviction in entrepreneurial leadership
• Why systems, people, and planning matter more than hustle alone
• What “winning” actually looks like when purpose and performance align

Whether you’re building a company, investing in real estate, or sharpening your leadership edge, this episode delivers entrepreneur motivation, practical insight, and a powerful growth mindset.

Even after losing his sight, this visionary still paints a vivid mental picture for every project he touches.

In this episode of The Mark Haney Show, James Kubel, founder of JK Engineering and Electric, explains his unique approach to design — from “graphic design” and product design to complex electronics — guided not by sight, but by imagination, structure, and timeless design principles. His story proves that creativity doesn’t depend on vision, and that innovation has no bounds.

James is an accomplished electrical engineer, inventor, and entrepreneur who lost his vision due to diabetes in his 20s — but never lost his drive to build. From rebuilding a car at 15, to designing speech-synthesizer technology used by the blind community and organizations like the FAA and Lockheed Martin, James has spent decades turning challenges into breakthroughs.

In this conversation, James shares how he designs technology by “painting the picture in his mind,” why he refuses to accept the word can’t, and how accessibility-driven inventions often lead to unexpected real-world impact far beyond their original purpose.

This episode dives into:
• Designing electronics and products without sight
• Using imagination and design principles to solve complex problems
• Assistive technology, accessibility, and innovation

Building wealth is one thing. Making it last—for your family, your business, and the next generation - is something entirely different.

In this episode of The Mark Haney Show, Mark sits down with Jay Ezzell and Alec Fisher of Natoma Wealth, a locally owned fiduciary wealth management firm built specifically for business owners, families, and institutions.

Jay and Alec share how Natoma Wealth helps clients:
• Build wealth intentionally
• Invest wisely through changing markets
• Avoid catastrophic financial mistakes
• Plan across generations - not just lifetimes

They explain why independence matters in wealth management, how multigenerational planning goes far beyond inheritance, and why entrepreneurs need a very different strategy than traditional investors.

This conversation is about clarity, stewardship, and designing wealth that supports the life you want - today and decades from now.

Kids today don’t just need places to play — they need positive environments where they can learn, compete, and grow. That’s what the National Academy of Athletics is trying to restore.

In this episode, CEO Aaron Locks and Area Captain Marcus Tolibas break down how their talk.teach.PLAY!® method gives kids the same lessons many adults learned growing up on playgrounds, parks, driveways, and neighborhood courts — life skills like confidence, teamwork, communication, sportsmanship, and effort.

Aaron shares how legendary coaches like John Wooden and Dale Brown shaped the method he now teaches to coaches across the country. Marcus brings the local perspective — showing how Sacramento communities are rebuilding youth sports by focusing on fun, fundamentals, and character over trophies.

Together, they explain why kids quit sports, how to keep them engaged, and why parents should be asking more questions about how their kids are being coached, not just what sport they’re playing.

🌟 TOP TAKEAWAYS
• Why kids aren’t learning life skills in many modern youth leagues
• The difference between “coaching drills” and actually teaching kids
• What talk.teach.PLAY!® looks like during a real practice
• Why competition still matters — and how to teach it correctly
• How recreation departments and schools can rebuild community through sports
• The #1 thing parents should ask before signing their kids up

Today, on Veteran’s Day, we’re honoring the men and women who never stopped serving.

In this conversation, we sit down with Jeremy Thompson and Ian Boeye from the Special Operations Association of America (SOAA) — an organization fighting to ensure America’s elite warfighters are never forgotten, neglected, or left behind after their service.

SOAA is doing what most people don’t realize still needs to be done:

• Advocating for Special Operations forces in Washington
• Mobilizing rescue operations in crisis zones
• Supporting medical and psychological recovery for veterans
• Rebuilding the pipeline of American service and leadership

This isn’t politics — it’s patriotism.
This is about love of country, brotherhood, and the belief that America is still worth defending.

If you know someone who has served — share this episode with them today.
Let them know they are seen.
They are appreciated.
They are not alone.

What if you actually knew where every sprinkler line, valve box, tree, drain, wire, and irrigation zone was on your property?

That’s the problem that Arik Levy set out to solve when he built YardPro — a GPS-based property mapping and maintenance app designed for homeowners, landscapers, and property managers who are tired of guessing what’s underground.

Arik isn’t new to solving real-world problems.
He’s a serial entrepreneur, the founder of Laundry Locker and Luxer One, which scaled nationwide and processed over 250 million package deliveries before being acquired by ASSA ABLOY. After exiting, Arik didn’t retire — he doubled-down on his purpose: solving unsolved problems.

In this conversation, Arik and Mark talk about:
• How YardPro maps irrigation, utilities, and landscape assets with GPS accuracy
• The evolution from “just a tool for my own property” to a scalable company
• The journey from founding to exit to starting again
• The role of Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) in leadership, purpose, and growth

If you're a homeowner, landscaper, property manager, or someone who hates wasting time figuring out where things are buried, YardPro might just change the game.

AI is completely changing how people find and engage with brands — and traditional marketing strategies aren’t enough anymore. In this episode, I sit down with Josh Hanosh, VP at Three29, to unpack how artificial intelligence, machine learning, and new AI tools are reshaping marketing, search, and lead generation.

We talk about the rise of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) — why it’s different from SEO, how AI “thinks,” and how brands can position themselves to be discovered when no one is “Googling” anymore. Josh shares practical tactics for optimizing your site for AI bots, building smart backlinks, leveraging FAQs and question clustering, and future-proofing your marketing strategy.

We also explore how AI is driving massive productivity gains, freeing teams from repetitive work so they can focus on creativity and strategy.

💡 What you’ll learn:
• How AI and machine learning are changing the buyer journey
• How to use AEO to get your brand discovered
• Why clean schema and backlinks matter more than ever
• How AI tools can give your team a real productivity edge

This week on The Mark Haney Show, I sat down with Dr. Luke Wood, President of Sacramento State, and I’ll tell you — this conversation will change how you think about higher education.

Dr. Wood isn’t just running a university. He’s rebuilding what college looks like. Under his leadership, Sac State has launched the nation’s first Black Honors College, introduced a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in AI and Business Management, and created Combat U, a one-of-a-kind collegiate pathway into boxing and mixed martial arts in partnership with UFC legend Urijah Faber.

We also talked about entrepreneurship, the future of career opportunities, and how the Carlsen Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship is helping students turn ideas into businesses that fuel Sacramento’s economy.

And of course, we covered the big energy around sports — from the push toward FBS football at Cal Expo to a men’s basketball team now coached by NBA star Mike Bibby (and featuring Shaq’s son on the roster).

Dr. Wood’s philosophy is simple but powerful: “Bite down on the mouthpiece and go.”
That mindset is transforming Sacramento State — and inspiring a new generation of leaders, innovators, and doers.

Have you ever been faced with supporting a grieving employee or co-worker? Have you ever had to manage your own grief while continuing to lead?

Margo Fowkes, President of On Target Consulting and Founder of Salt Water, joins Mark to talk about the important and often avoided topic, grief and loss in the workplace.

Inspired by her son Jimmy who passed away in 2014 after an eight year fight against brain cancer followed by the death of her mom a year later, Margo initially launched Salt Water, a website that provides a safe harbor for those who have lost someone they didn't think they could live without.

Now, she has published her new book, Leading through Loss, a practical guide that includes specific tools and actionable ideas from a collection of leaders who have had to navigate grief at work. Margo’s compassionate, knowledgeable, and practical approach to this topic provides a valuable resource to help leaders build supportive organizations beyond offering the standard “bereavement leave.”

Join Mark for this engaging discussion with Manvir Sandhu, Co-founder, and CEO of Zennify, an award-winning technology consulting firm and platinum Salesforce partner based in the Sacramento region that enables clients to drive change through digital transformation.

Manvir left his corporate job of 19 years in 2012, and he and his co-founders Nathan Mueller and Jesse Barker set off to do a project in Haiti - solving a vaccine spoilage problem.  Bootstrapped and pressed for time, they designed and developed a cloud-based Salesforce IOT solution to track and manage temperature data, and, within months, the entire country had a potential solution to protect the vaccine supply. Post-go-live, their solution was published in a leading global medical journal as the WHO and UNICEF's gold standard for developing nations.  As a result, Zennify was born.   

Over the last 8 years, Manvir and the team have grown Zennify into an innovative and impactful company recognized as a “Best Place to Work” by the SBJ and with Manvir listed as a 2021: Most Admired CEO.  Manvir’s love of people and his passion for the transformative role that tech can play in a company and a community shine through in this conversation.  And, he drops quite a bit of knowledge and experience about what it takes to grow a team, culture, and a successful business.  This is a don’t miss an episode!

From seeding ideas to scaling technologies that solve global challenges, capital is a critical component to catalyzing and commercializing innovation.  Grants – including $750B of Federal dollars – are a unique, non-dilutive part of the capital stack that can play a powerful role in funding this work. 

Unfortunately, there are significant issues around efficiency, transparency, traceability and equity in the distribution of grant funds that result in a lot of waste and unrealized potential. Enter Sedale Turbovsky and the team at OpenGrants who are building a solution to efficiently connect funders to grant seekers, searchers to grants, and grant consultants to opportunities…and that’s just the beginning.  

OpenGrants is also a part of the Growth Factory Accelerator. During this segment, Sedale shares a little about his company building and fundraising journey including the approach he's taking to engage a broad pool of investors and build community around his transformative work.

Join Mark as he and Sedale dig into what OpenGrants is today and talk about the possibilities Sedale is working to create as he envisions the future.

Scott Drummond, President, and Founder of Party Center Software has a winning mindset, a successful track record, a passion for entrepreneurship, and a desire to pay it forward.

His entrepreneurial career effectively started with the launch of a web design firm in 1998 (pre-Google) when he was just 1 year out of high school! In 2005, Drummond and his wife purchased a small indoor children’s play center called Bounceopolis, Inc. in El Dorado Hills and later they expanded and moved it to a new location in Folsom. Through operating Bounceopolis he realized that there was no viable online event booking and management tool for the Family Entertainment Center (FEC) industry. This led to the creation of Party Center Software, an online point-of-sale and event management software for the FEC industry. Drummond sold Party Center Software in 2019 to a PE firm Aquiline Capital Partners LLC and continues to run the company as the President and Founder.

Mark and Scott cover a lot of ground in this engaging conversation as they explore how early life lessons can shape the willingness to take risks, the courage to commit to winning (and learn from losing), and the heart to mentor the next entrepreneur in line.

From the romanticized college drop-out to the mid-life corporate exec who makes the leap, startup founders come from a wide range of backgrounds. Is there an ideal path to becoming a successful entrepreneur? In the episode, I talk with Sabya Das, a partner at Moneta Ventures, who shares his journey from pre-med student at Berkeley to interning at tech startups, and then becoming a partner at a Sacramento-based Venture Capital firm. Sabya offers his perspective on the importance of mentors and networking when exploring any career path and the value of working in a company before starting your own. He also talks about how a founder’s journey may come into play as investors evaluate the team’s experience in both business and the industry they are addressing.

Entrepreneurs are the heroes of the American economy and now, more than ever, they are on the front-lines in the battle to revive our economic vitality.  

For the past 7+ years, I’ve shared my passion for entrepreneurs via this podcast, my investing activity, as president of Entrepreneurs Organization and more.  In the wake of COVID, I am excited to dive into efforts that elevate the importance of entrepreneurship as a key component of our regional economic development strategy.

Joining me for this episode are several local leaders and boots on the ground community builders who have spent time in the trenches supporting our local founders.  Meet my teammate, Monique Brown, who is driving one of our new efforts to build a nonprofit accelerator called the Growth Factory; Laura Good and Jeff Bennett of StartupSac who have spearheaded everything from Startup Weekends to Startup Happy Hours and much more; and Cameron Law who is leading the charge at the Carlsen Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Sacramento State with dynamic new programs and partnerships in support of entrepreneurs on campus and beyond.

We discuss the opportunities for growth in our region and how entrepreneurship plays a key role.  Interested in learning more or getting engaged?  Contact us here: https://tinyurl.com/vb48ft98

For first-time founders, in particular, raising capital can be a daunting task. Just learning the what, when, and hows of venture funding is a challenge. Then, factor in the mindset piece. Taking other people’s money to fuel your vision can feel weighty or as Chris Peacock, Founder and CEO of Aquaoso say in this episode, “terrifying.” So, how do founders overcome their fears, create a plan, find investors, and negotiate terms all while building a company? Join me for this insightful discussion with two local CEOs, Chris Peacock of Aquaoso who just completed a $2M seed round, and Trifecta’s Greg Connolly who is in the process of raising a Series B, to learn how they have thought through and executed on their funding road-map.

Originally a term used to describe investors in Broadway shows, "Angel" now refers to high-net-worth individuals who invest their own money in exchange for equity in an entrepreneurial company (unlike venture capitalists, who invest other people's money). About $24B is deployed via Angel Investors in the U.S. each year. While these investments are high risk, they can be high reward. Several reputable studies show an average return of 2.6x investment in 3.5 years. In addition to capital, many Angels, who are often experienced business leaders, also invest their time and expertise to support the founder. This model of "smart money" ie: cash + support has proven to be both effective and critical to helping very early stage businesses get off the ground. Today, I have the honor of talking with 3 local and very experienced Angels about their journeys as investors in the Sacramento region. John Peters, Michelle Hallsten, and Ken Tallo, all of whom are part of a local investment group called the Sacramento Angels, discuss the value of angel investing, why and how they got started, and some key lessons learned along the way.

Starting a business in Sacramento has become easier with entrepreneurs having access to multiple programs and resources. Building and scaling that business is still hard. In addition to raising capital, which is a challenge, founders also need support in finding customers and building operational capacity. 

In this episode, I am joined by Steve Boyle, Founder, and CEO of Essential Aero, and Rick Spencer, VP of HaneyBiz and co-developer of The Sacramento Growth Factory (SGF). We explore how Essential Aero has benefited from SGF, and how the experience is different from other business-building efforts Steve has had in Sacramento. We also dive into why Sacramento is so well-positioned to be a great testbed for companies like Essential Aero, especially in establishing a Center of Excellence for aviation safety, operations, and developing infrastructure for Urban Air Mobility. 

If you are an entrepreneur, investor, or a corporate or government leader, join me for this episode as we explore how we can win together by creating an economic engine for our community.

In this episode, I talk with Matt Rollens, the Founder and CEO of Dragon Glassware, an innovative lifestyle brand offering a variety of handmade, artisan glassware for the home and kitchen.  

Born and raised in the Sacramento region, Matt attended Sac State graduating during the great recession.  Facing a tough job market and with the encouragement of family and friends, he was inspired to start his own business - Dragon Glassware.  Dragon Glassware stemmed from Matt’s realization that while people are often passionate about what they drink, they are not always happy with what they are drinking from. He decided to solve that problem and is winning with high-quality glassware, beautifully designed and backed by amazing customer service. 

A digital native and passionate about the world of online retail and e-commerce, he shares how he was able to grow his company online and through Amazon.  He also provides insights on how to leverage social media and digital advertising to drive brand awareness and sales.  If you want to learn more from someone who’s been there, listen to the podcast!  And, if you need a cool gift for the holidays, check out his website below :

Can you use your mission to create a better world?

I often talk about Rockstar Entrepreneurs. As far as legends go, Elon Musk is at the top of the mountain for Entrepreneurs. So, it often surprises many people to learn that he wasn’t the Founder of Tesla. In fact, he was their fourth CEO.  

In this episode, we meet Marc Tarpenning, co-founder of Tesla, and Venture Partner at Spero Ventures. Marc takes us through the early days of Tesla, and shares some of the key lessons on the importance of co-founders, getting feedback from investors, and how he defines success (and it is not money), including how Marc is working on making a better world by investing in companies who are aligned with his personal mission.  

We also talk about how COVID has introduced an opportunity for entrepreneurs to raise money and NOT be in Silicon Valley, and how to tie your mission focus with your investment pitch. Whether you want to create a world-changing company or want to know how to persevere through the difficult days of starting and scaling a business, this conversation is full of great examples and lessons learned.

With all the challenges of this year, we can tend to overlook progress. For most businesses in the US, leaders are taking a hard look at their diversity shortcomings, and why making diversity part of their strategy is good for business. As these companies outline their path, they are intentionally designing the policies and systems that will combine the collective capabilities of people from different genders, races, sexual orientation, those with disabilities, and more. In this episode, I talk with two leaders who are driving forward progress for woman in business and organizations where diversity is no longer optional. Krista Snelling, EVP, COO & CFO with Five Star Bank, and Preet Kuar, CEO of Pacific Staffing and Pacific ExecSearch. Krista and Preet share their journeys to leadership positions, and how they are using their experience to develop mentorship, community, and business programs. They share how this focus has changed hiring practices, decision making and the benefits their businesses are seeing from committing to continuous improvement for diversity.

2020 has turned into a year of crisis and hardship for many. When it seemed that we couldn’t take any more, our state was engulfed in historic wildfires. Whether we are dealing with a pandemic, social injustice, or disaster like wildfire, it can be hard for young people to imagine a world that is getting better. However, from ashes, something new can grow, if we build it right. 

In this episode I am excited to talk to Dr. Gina Warren about how young entrepreneurs can create a better world and specifically how she is inspiring the youth in the inner city to begin their entrepreneurial journey.  Dr. Warren is a co-founder and executive director of the Neighborhood Wellness Foundation.  We discuss how growing up locally in the Sacramento area inspired her to become involved with the community programs and activities she is currently supporting, and how you can help make a difference with the entrepreneurs of the future.

Many people would say we live in difficult times. I would say we live in a time of opportunity. Change starts with your mindset, and how you apply that mindset to a problem. When most people discuss a topic like gun ownership, they feel social pressure to take a side. Unfortunately, that mindset, many times, can mean we are not talking about solutions. In this episode, I sit down with Jesse Meeker and Brandon Banks, the founders of the Placer Sporting Club. We discuss a wide range of topics relating to gun ownership in these times. Brandon spent 8 years in the Marine Corps and Jesse was a Military Police Officer while serving in the U.S. Army, as well as a civilian police officer in Arizona. They share how their military backgrounds helped them develop their business and the opportunities they see for responsible gun ownership, training and community involvement. Positive change starts with a conversation. I hope this conversation helps our community see opportunity, where others see problems.

Is Health the NEW Wealth?

As an entrepreneur, we hear regularly that winning requires commitment to our dream, perseverance, hard work and some luck. What happens when the work gets really hard, and we don’t have a personal foundation of health? As COVID changed my routines, it opened up space for me to explore this question.

This episode is the start of a new track for the Mark Haney Show, where I share my journey towards a more holistic approach to entrepreneurship. Every few episodes I will take time to discuss my personal lessons, and include expert guests to help guide us toward a better understanding of how to build a foundation of health (regardless of your stage as an entrepreneur), so you can endure the tough times and be able to enjoy the challenges and success.

How can you get started on a journey for building your foundation of health to prepare for the entrepreneurial battlefield? I am joined by Rick Spencer, Vice President at HaneyBiz, as we open this track and learn about my journey and some of the pillars of health I have established and am now exploring.

If this episode inspires you to be part of the movement, and you believe, like me, that entrepreneurs are the answer to our future, message me so we can join forces to support building truly great companies in our region.

What if Sacramento was nationally known as a Tier 1 region for entrepreneurs to start and grow companies? 

As the HaneyBiz team launches the Sacramento Growth Factory (SGF), I sat down with Rick Spencer from our Leadership Team to discuss how SGF provides founders with a customized growth program designed to achieve tangible high priority milestones.  Every engagement is fueled by the hands-on support from our seasoned team combined with expertise from our committed network of vendors, advisors, corporations, government agencies and investors. 

There is no question that our region has seen progress to support entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, the feedback we receive from the entrepreneurs who I have invested into directly is that they continue to struggle to connect with capital and customers in the region. In this episode, you will hear our thoughts on how business and community leaders will need to support entrepreneurs so that our region can create meaningful opportunities for this generation and generations to come.

Rick and I are back for the fourth and final chapter of my entrepreneurial journey. In this final episode we will be talking about the importance of have a strong inner circle and how to attract the right people into yours.

My inner circle helps overcome fear, doubt, and uncertainty in this crazy world of entrepreneurship. I don't think I would have been able to accomplish half of what I've done if I did not have the right people around me. They help me feel a little less afraid. 

How are we supposed to attract these people into our lives though? Rick and I talk about the three things you can do as an entrepreneur to have the rock stars out there take notice, buy into your dream, and will run through any brick wall with you to make it a reality.

I have always been a big dreamer. From the time I was a kid to this very day. I remember laying in bed talking to my younger brother almost every night about the day we would have the 10,000 sq ft house, circular driveway, and all the toys to go with it. 

Today in part 3 of my entrepreneurial journey Rick Spencer is diving into the BIG dream I am trying to make come true today. If a dream is not big enough I am simply not motivated enough to make it a reality. And let me tell you, this one is even big for me. I have never been more motivated to make a dream come true.

How do you learn to lead a business? There are more books, classes and podcasts than I can count that offer to answer this question. For me, it took painful business mistakes to find my ability and voice to lead.

In this week’s podcast, episode 2 of a series where I am interviewed, I share my personal story on how I scaled a video surveillance company from 25 to 200 Million in annual revenue. Most importantly, I relive the mistakes, like how I lost a star performer and other team members to a competitor by managing from the press box. I also offer perspective on how entrepreneurs and business leaders can learn from my story.

Whether you are looking to be the best leader possible, or just want a more intimate look into my story, I hope my mistakes can be your lessons. If you do learn something, don’t forget to pay it forward by sharing, liking and subscribing.

The tables have been turned and I have found myself in the hot seat. This is the first of a four part series where my teammate Rick Spencer, HaneyBiz's Vice President, sits down to get the full story of my entrepreneurial journey. 

We go from my first entrepreneurial venture when I was a boy to vision/mission we are trying to make a reality today and everything in between. This four part series will be jammed packed full of lessons that I have learned from starting, scaling, and selling different businesses throughout my life.

This first part starts with the lessons that I learned on the baseball and football field that I have carried with me into everything I do. We then dive into the lessons that I learned during my paper route as a kid, the most important lesson I learned when working for my family business (it involves me breaking a $1000 refrigerator), and finally what I learned from making a pivot from video stores to video surveillance distribution. 

These lessons that I learned early on in life have shaped me into the entrepreneur I am today and have been a major reason for the successes I have had.

As business owners we need to put processes/systems into place so as we scale we don’t lose the quality of our product/service while rapidly ramping up the quantity. In order for us to make the best decisions quickly during this time of rapid growth our communication needs to be better than ever. The communication we have with our leadership team, with our employees, and with our customers/suppliers.

In this episode, I sit down with Charmaine Magale and Yvette Rincon, two of the four founders of one of my portfolio companies, Legado Whiskey. All four founders are either employed full time elsewhere, or are running another business(es). Most people struggle with starting and growing a business with 100% of their time and focus, so how have these four women been able to get this company off the ground only being part time?

Charmaine and Yvette share how they have accomplished this by creating communication systems and processes. These processes have allowed them to make their meetings more efficient, productive, and are laying a strong foundation for when they are ready to scale.

We also talk about the brand they are building, how they are building it, and why their brand is so much more than a bottle of whiskey. I put my investor hat on and you will get an inside look at what types of questions an investor would ask a company raising money.

What you will learn in this episode:

Craig Hettrich, the President of The Hettrich Group, talks about some very simple concepts that business owners can do now to adapt their strategy in challenging times. 

Craig's main message is FOCUS ....on your best customers with your top tier skill and how you can adapt your strategy to help your best customers face their issues and challenges...along with the Leadership style required 

In challenging times ...many business owners try to diversify what they are offering in the pursuit of holding on to revenue...if this ties into their top tier skill then yes by all means but if they are just fair to good at the proposed additional offering then it is going to be tough sledding and a drag on precious current resources ....when they should be focusing more on and sharpening and adapting their top tier skill... strategy and value proposition to their best customers

Here are the basics...and 5 key take aways

1) Focus on your top tier skill (what you do better than almost anyone in your space) Are you clear on your top tier skill?  Believe it or not many companies are not.  I have a process for teams to gain clarity around that.

2) Focus your sales, marketing and service on your Best Customers.  Do you have Core/Ideal customer profile(s) that are based on your top tier skill?  I have a process for teams to gain clarity around that

3) Adapt your strategy to increase your differentiation, retain your best customers and set the foundation to grow.   Spend some time walking in your Core/Ideal customer's shoes ...what are their biggest issues and challenges right NOW...in their industry with their customers ...and will you have to adapt your strategy and offerings to add value in helping them overcome these issues and challenges.   Any adaption of strategy should tie back to your top tier skill as a company.  My thinking is that this adaption of your strategy may well add your differentiation and strengthen the competitiveness of your strategy ....and help with retention of your best customers as well as help your convert new customers.

4) Utilize strong Interpersonal Skills to lead your team - I will talk about the best practice way to lead your teams...e.g. time to lead your team with strong Interpersonal Skills...self aware, team aware, culture aware etc

5) Don't do this alone!!!   CEO Peer Groups AND the help of a CEO level Executive Coach and Strategic Advisor (yes I do this so it is an indirect plug)

As business owners, we run into many obstacles. Adding family to the mix can create a few more obstacles to overcome. I have heard countless horror stories about family businesses that fail because they don’t separate work from the family. For instance, many hire, or even worse, pass on the company to a family member just because they’re family. And because family members have different dreams for the future of the business, there is often conflict in decision making. How can you avoid these problems?

Raley’s is a family owned and operated business celebrating their 85th year of business and is in their third generation of family ownership. Only 12% of family businesses make it to this point. So, I asked Mike Teel, the chief visionary officer of Raley’s, to help me answer these questions for you.

Raley’s and the Teel family have not been immune to the common problems that family businesses face, but they have acted and responded to these issues in a way most don’t even think about.

Mike talks about how he left the company after college in order to develop the skills necessary to earn a leadership role one day, instead of having it handed to them. When all five family members, who were board members, did not see eye to eye on the future of the company they brought in a trusted third party to facilitate how to move forward with both the family’s and company’s best interest in mind.

Mike shares other stories of how his family has been able to solve the problems they have faced as a family business. It takes this kind of outside thinking to grow a family business that not only stays in the family, but also is able to keep the company mission a higher priority than the family’s wants and desires.

This is the type of thinking it takes to build a family business that defies the odds and continues on for generations.

What you will learn in this episode: Mike gives family business operations tips and strategies and shares the challenges he faces running a third generation family business with 12,000 employees and 2+ Billion Dollars in revenue (4:39) Mike shares why he left the family owned business the first time and why that was beneficial to him eventually leading the family business management. (8:36) Mike talks about family business operations management and how tough it is to lead family members to a position of leadership and the trait they need to have in order to do so. (17:50) Mike shares how important having a trusted third party to help facilitate major decisions around how the family should move forward with the business is to the future success of the company. (21:02) Mike talks about how he and his family successfully navigated the potentially turbulent waters of creating a family business operating agreement and buying out all of his sisters in order to have control of the company.

Sacramento Metro Chamber CEO, Amanda Blackwood and her team have been integral in a highly coordinated effort between local businesses, elected officials, and state and federal agencies to provide information about and access to emergency resources for our small businesses and non-profits. The headlines from our conversation with her:

SBA Disaster Loan Program -- CA is one of the first states to receive funds. They are making application and qualification as easy as possible so -- Get in the pipeline - APPLY NOW. They are funding loans of up to $2M.

Keep calm and use your resources: There are resources rapidly coming online to support small business owners and their employees. Take advantage of them as soon as you can.

Check back regularly: The situation is changing rapidly. So, continue to check in and follow up. What you didn’t qualify for yesterday, you may qualify for tomorrow. Or, there may be new resources available.

Take care of yourself and others: Local coordination has been inspiring and effective. If we keep committed to taking good care of ourselves and others, we will get through this together and emerge stronger!

Isn’t it frustrating when you pour your heart and soul into content for your customers and all you hear is crickets??

There is so much noise on social media. How are we supposed to grab the attention of our customers? Yell louder and longer than everyone else? Spend thousands of dollars on ads?

To help me answer these questions and more, I invited three time Emmy Award winning journalist, Kellie DeMarco to join me on the show. After 20+ years as a journalist/news anchor, and at the top of her game, she decided to take the leap and start her own business. She is now taking her wealth of knowledge and expertise and is helping small businesses share their stories in a way that moves people to action.

I asked her to share her secrets with us on how to craft a story that captures hearts and makes hands reach for wallets. I am fired up to share this with you because she drops some real value in this episode!

She shares how local news still has a purpose for small businesses and how to get your story covered, tips and tricks on how to get over nervousness and show up like a champ on video, and uses HaneyBiz as an example of how to tell a compelling story.

Some of the most iconic brands in history have become that way because of their storytelling; brand storytelling coca cola, brand storytelling nike. These brands have a brand storytelling strategy that allows their customers to feel a part of something more than just their products.

Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of communication and has successfully captured audiences for thousands of years. So, instead of adding to the noise let’s learn to tell a story that can capture the hearts of our audience.

What you will learn on this episode: Kellie shares the emotions she is feeling from giving up her security, quitting her full time job, and jumping into her entrepreneurial venture (3:15) Kellie shares the key steps that you need to take in order to have the best chance of the media covering your story. (7:01) Kellie talks about the companies that still benefit from local media coverage and how to craft a story that gives you the best chance of getting covered.

Javeed, the co-founder and Chief Medical Officer, has been in the trenches for 9 years building the company’s foundation. AJ Patel, the new CEO, was recently recruited because of his success in scaling Walgreens.

How a local utility company is driving global innovation and fueling entrepreneurs…

SMUD, the 6th largest community owned utility company in the country, like other large corporations at some point in their life cycle, are facing the innovator's dilemma. Their industry is in the process of being disrupted and if they do nothing they could find themselves out of business. Sound familiar? Think Blockbuster, Radio Shack, Circuit City and many other companies that refused to change with the times.

Arlen Orchard, the CEO of SMUD, recognizes they are in the process of being disrupted and is taking action to make this an opportunity for SMUD, entrepreneurs, and the entire Sacramento Region. SMUD is leading the drive, with the help of countless partners, for the creation of the California Mobility Center.

Arlen Orchard, SMUD's CEO, joined me on the podcast to talk about how this initiative was born, why it matters for this region, and why SMUD, a large, community owned organization is investing so heavily in leading and funding this effort.

What energized me the most about our discussion is how the California Mobility Center has put entrepreneurs at the center of their effort – with plans to foster innovation through assets like prototyping facilities, a trained workforce, and an investment fund.

Entrepreneurs are the answer…they solve the world’s biggest problems like the future of mobility and clean transportation…and with the region’s key resources so significantly aligning to attract, support and amplify entrepreneurial efforts, I believe anything is possible!

What you will learn listening to this episode:

Utility companies are being disrupted. They are becoming two sides of the same coin and will be the fuel provider for the future of transportation (2:54)

Why do 95% of us run out of gas, air, and time?

As entrepreneurs it is way too easy to focus 100% of our time on our business. Who has time to worry about nutrition, fitness, and social connections when we are trying to do everything possible to stay in business, or build something that will change the world?

My good friend Jack Crawford, the Founding General Partner of Impact Venture Capital, shares why he believes these things are extremely important. Jack found himself at a point in life when he was spread way too thin, was putting off family time to put out “fires,” and was not making the impact in his business he knew he was capable of.

So, Jack decided to take action and has been researching, testing, and building tools/techniques in order to create the life and business he wants. He calls it his “strategic plan for life.” His strategic plan for life has helped him become laser focused on what’s most important in life and as a result, he is now taking massive steps to achieving his big hairy audacious goals.

In this episode Jack shares all of the research he has gathered, the tools/techniques he uses regularly, and how he actually implemented all of this into his and his family’s lives.

Taking the time to focus on the most important pieces of your life outside your business will help you become more successful than you think, and it’s a lot more fun!

Show Notes:

Jack explains that blue zones are areas in which people live the most happy/fulfilled lives and what makes up a blue zone. (12:40) Where does your brain look for achievement? Focus on your goals and ignore the rest. Train your brain to look for achievement that is meaningful to you. (19:40) Jack shares his morning routine and why it is so important in order to achieve your goals and work and life balance. (24:10) Jack shares why he believes 95% of entrepreneurs run out of gas, run out of air, and run out of time. (28:45) People who experience tragedy usually have an enhanced perspective on life. Jack has been able to manufacture and maintain an enhanced perspective on life by implementing his strategic plan for life. (34:15) Stop trying to do everything. Focus on your goals not others and clean up your to do list by asking what you can defer and what you can delegate. Work life balance tips. (40:15) Jack shares how to accomplish work life balance by leveraging your time (49:45) The tools that Jack uses to build his strategic plan for life to focus on your goals and maintain work life balance.

Are you building an ivory tower kind of culture, or a culture where everyone matters?

Nobody builds a truly great company alone, especially entrepreneurs who are trying to change the world. So, in order to achieve our big hairy audacious goals we need to surround ourselves with the people that will run through a brick wall with us.

In order to attract and retain these rock stars we have to build a strong company culture that our team members will go ALL IN on! The question is, what does that winning culture look like and how do we create one?

In order to answer this question I brought on a man that created one of the best company cultures in the Sacramento area, Dale Carlsen. Dale is the founder of Sleep Train Mattress Center. Dale built up Sleep Train to over 1600 employees, over $500 Million in revenue, gave his employees 25% of the company through an ESOP, and eventually sold to Mattress Firm which was a $117 Million payoff for his employees. 

Dale’s father gave him advice that he has lived by and that he attributes to the success of Sleep Train: surround yourself with great people, treat them well, and make everybody successful. And that is exactly what Dale did. 

Dale shares how he was able to build a strong culture following his father’s advice - What you will learn on this episode; 

(14:25) Why creating a company culture where everyone matters helps make big strategic decisions is important. (16:35) How much transparency a company should have to build organizational culture. (17:45) How he created a culture of ownership and eventually made his employees owners - which led to an 800% growth over 5 years. (19:30) How creating a corporate culture that gave back to their community brought in more customers and more importantly it increased employee retention. (34:05) Be careful of building an ivory tower culture. Create a work culture where everyone is the same and no one is more important. (37:55) Nobody buys into top down culture. Creating the mission/vision/values from the ground up with your team is step number 1 to development strong company culture. (40:25) Creating an organizational culture and leadership that celebrates successes allows the CEO and executive team to get to know their employees even better and strengthen their relationships.  

Dale shares how he DID all of the above throughout our conversation. I could not be more excited to share his wisdom with all of you on how to build a strong company culture.

Raising Capital? Are you prepared for another full time job?

Entrepreneurs, especially those who are raising capital for the first time, often underestimate the time, energy, and commitment required. In reality, raising money is a second full time job and can be a big distraction to running/growing the business.

In addition to daily operations, you will need to make the time to: create your pitch deck, craft your pitch, research potential investors, build relationships with potential investors, pitch to investors, refine your pitch/pitch deck, follow up with investors, attend networking events to meet more investors…

It can take anywhere from a few months to a couple of years to raise a round of funding and during this time investors still want to see growth. How can you do all of this while still moving the needle with your company?

To help me answer that question I sat down with Jared Story, the CEO of Parse Pay, and Anthony Romano, the CEO of eScreen Logic. These two entrepreneurs have been successful in raising capital while continuing to grow their businesses in the process.

They share with us what it is really like to be in the trenches running their company while simultaneously raising capital. In this episode you will learn; how much time is actually spent fundraising vs leading their team, the emotions that are felt during this process, the systems/processes they implemented, and the most important pieces needed to be successful.

So, before you start raising money to fund that idea that will change the world, make sure you are fully prepared and know what to really expect. Please SHARE, REVIEW, COMMENT and REPOST to help more entrepreneurs overcome the obstacles in their way and unleash their full potential.

How do you know that your clients will pay for the product you’re developing?

Entrepreneurs are some of the most ambitious people on the planet. When we have an idea that we think will change the world, or solve a problem for a niche market, it can be easy to press full speed ahead and build what WE think the market needs. But, how do we know that the market will actually pay for what we are building?

Too many times I see entrepreneurs building what they believe is the “perfect” product that will “fly” off the shelves without ever talking to their customers. The only way to truly know what your customers want and more importantly, what they will pay for, is to ask them. There is no better time to do this than when you are developing your product. 

Kyle Cobb, CFO of Advanced Farm Technologies and his team are a fantastic example of how to do this the right way.  As a result, they are the first company to bring a robotic strawberry picker to the market. 

Kyle and his team have spent countless hours building relationships with their customers – farmers – spending time in the trenches to truly understand their biggest pain points and concerns with robots picking strawberries. 

Before they even thought about building a robot that rolled down the fields, they had to solve the farmer’s biggest concern, a gripper that wouldn’t ruin the strawberries. They went through 50 iterations of a gripper before they developed one that picked strawberries as well, if not better, than humans. 

After solving one problem at a time, getting feedback from their customers the whole way, they are on the verge of deploying the first ever commercial fleet of robotic strawberry pickers.

Listen to our conversation to learn how Kyle and his team made sure they had the right product market fit, how they made strategic partnerships to help them develop their product, and how they properly used the capital they raised. 

So, before you fully develop the “perfect” product that will solve all your customers problems, get in the trenches with them.

How do investors value companies?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions I get from entrepreneurs and also one of the toughest. It can be especially challenging for earlier stage companies that do not have a financial history they can use to back up the story they are telling investors.

For me, the number one thing I look at when I invest into early stage companies is the CEO. Is the CEO a rock star? Can the CEO make the molecules move and rally people behind their vision? Does the CEO the top three qualities I look for: commitment, humility, and authenticity. If they check these boxes, then I take a look at their company to see if will be a worthy investment. 

To help me better answer this question I brought in two of my buddies who happen to be experts on this topic: Curt Rocca, the founding partner at DCA Capital, and Lokesh Sikaria, the founding partner of Moneta Ventures. They have incredible track records as investors and we are going to find out how they value companies and pick the winners. 

On this episode you will learn investors methodologies for valuing a company, the different factors that affect the valuation of your company, and an inside look at what investors think when they look at potential investments. 

Valuation is extremely important to get right if you want to get an investment. Learn from two guys that look at hundreds of deals every year.

Put Your Money Where Your Town Is!

62% of all new job creation is because of small businesses/entrepreneurs. It’s safe to say that entrepreneurs are catalysts driving economic growth and transforming the communities we live in. So, why aren’t more people looking to invest into the entrepreneurs in their hometown?

Local small businesses sponsor our kids little league teams, create jobs, pay taxes and often contribute in other ways to make our community a better place for everyone. I love my hometown and I want it to be the best possible place for my grandkids to grow up. This is why I only invest in companies that are based in the Sacramento region. 

I invited my VP of Investments, Ian DeWeerdt to talk about our local investment work. Ian recently joined the HaneyBiz team to apply his expertise to investing in and supporting Sacramento entrepreneurs.

On this episode you will learn more about what we are doing here at HaneyBiz. We talk about the types of companies we are looking to invest into, how we are helping entrepreneurs achieve their dreams, and how we are looking to concentrate wealth for entrepreneurs.

Do you love your hometown and want to invest in its future? Watch this episode about how investing in your local entrepreneurs can do that!

There has never been a better time to build a business selling online courses.

Scaling a traditional service-based business can be extremely difficult - you trade time for money and can only serve a finite number of clients. Matt Aitchison, 7 figure real estate investor and host of top 25 itunes podcast, Millionaire Mindcast, solved this problem by creating The Rich Life Academy.  

The Rich Life Academy is an online education platform that was created when Matt could no longer sit down with all of the people that wanted to learn from him about real estate investing. 

On this episode you will learn when to start an online education platform, the fastest and easiest way to start one, the different types of courses you can offer, and how to build an online community.

Is a business accelerator right for me? Startup Accelerators, like Techstars and Ycombinator, have become very popular in the past 5 years. Being able to tap into the knowledge of those who have been there done that when launching and growing a business can be the difference between success and failure.

Sometimes, we just don’t know what we don’t know when growing a business, especially in areas like HR compliance. Nothing can bring a small business to its knees faster than being caught out of compliance. My guest, Kim Silvers, the President of Silvers HR, has forgotten more about HR/staying compliant than most of us will ever know. Kim and I talk about HR best practices that will keep you out of the courtroom and growing your business. One of the biggest topics right now is the new AB-5 law, independent contractors vs. employees, that passed here in California. She breaks down what every business owner needs to know about this law and how to avoid being sued by the IRS. We also talk about a few other topics that can be a problem for businesses if they are not taken seriously; sexual harassment in the workplace, wage and hour laws, and finding top talent during a time of low unemployment.

How are you going to make adjustments to this new law? How will you grow your company with less independent contractors?

Silvers HR is a full service outsourced human resources company that helps entrepreneurs stay compliant while growing their business. If you would like more information about their services and how they can help you, check out their website. https://www.silvershr.com/

At 16:05 Brandon and I talk about how important location is for commercial property when running a brick and mortar business. Brandon makes an important point that by choosing a commercial space for rent with higher foot traffic may be more expensive, but choosing a commercial property for rent that is cheaper and less foot traffic you will be spending that money on marketing to get people to your business.

At 22:15 Brandon shares his experience with commercial lease and business lease. As a startup you have to be cautious and cognizant of what is in your contract. His startup stories about being trapped in two different leases can be avoided by know your long term goal and hiring the right people to make sure all your contracts have your best interest in mind.

On episode 151 I sit down with the Sacramento Kings DJ, DJ Eddie Z. Eddie has had the entrepreneurial spirit from a very young age. We talk about our first entrepreneurial experiences. We both had a paper route and learned to differentiate ourselves from the competition which led each of us to having the most successful paper routes in our area. Eddie, like any good entrepreneur, parlayed his skills of differentiation into his DJing career and this has been a major reason for his success and landing his role as the Kings DJ.

He is constantly finding new ways to set himself a part from the competition. What have you done lately to set yourself a part from your competition?

At 06:27 we talk about Eddie's differentiation strategy. His differentiation strategy example is that learning to play instruments has been a great foundation for his career, but Eddie believes that the biggest differentiation advantage is that he builds his professional network. Most DJ's don't do professional networking and he believes that the professional networking and how to make meaningful connections has been a game changer in his career.

At 08:46 Sacramento Kings DJ Eddie Z and I discuss how the internet is a great tool, but the best way to build your network is to put yourself out there by hitting the pavement and meeting as many people as possible. He shares his professional networking tips if you are not the most outgoing individual. His professional networking solutions for shy people is to find someone that you look up to to help and also build a set of tools that you can use in situations where you feel uncomfortable.
