The post Hello world! appeared first on Travis Chappell.
Paul Chambers (@paulcchambers), a seasoned entrepreneur who embarked on his business journey in fifth grade, is the co-founder and CEO of the Subscription Trade Association (SUBTA) and the renowned event SubSummit. His career in the subscription commerce sector spans over 20 years, garnering him recognition from numerous domestic and global media outlets. Paul’s entrepreneurial footprint began with establishing a digital marketing agency, a web hosting service, and managed IT services businesses. Two of these three ventures have been lucratively exited, with the third still actively providing services today. Adding to his versatile business portfolio, Paul spent over a decade in the retail and food industry. His past roles include owning and managing Dale and Thomas Popcorn franchise locations across Metro Detroit. He is an investor and partner in Capri Pizza, based in Southfield, Michigan.
Further enhancing his retail acumen, Paul played a pivotal role in developing and marketing Captiva, a fast-growing consumer packaged goods pain relief product, now available in CVS stores nationwide. Outside the corporate world, Paul is a dedicated firefighter serving the City of Troy.
What Travis and Paul Discussed:
How Paul started SubSummit 2016 as a small event for subscription box companies to network and share ideas. It has now grown into the largest subscription-focused conference in the country, with thousands of attendees across industries like SaaS, memberships, etc.
Why, when hiring, look for values alignment first? Skills can be taught, but core values are much harder to change. Go beyond just interview questions to get meals and drinks and hang out in informal settings. Listen to your gut instinct when something feels off about a person or situation. Your subconscious is processing millions of data points from your experiences.
As fathers, Travis and Paul aim to set an example through business and other pursuits that minimize the gap between the men their kids see them as and who they are.
Why does bringing on someone intimidatingly skilled and experienced force founders to check their egos? It’s better to have someone tell you what to do in areas where you’re weak than pretend you can do everything.
Rapid problem-solving and leading teams under pressure are skilled Paul has developed as a volunteer firefighter that transfer to business. Pushing yourself physically and mentally keeps you sharp.
If you want to learn how to build an audience from scratch, hire all-star team members, and set an example for your kids, don’t miss my conversation with Paul Chambers. We covered how he went from hosting small networking events to running the largest subscription conference in America. Paul also shared his unique approach to finding employees who align with his values by going beyond just interview questions. As busy entrepreneurs and fathers, we discussed the importance of minimizing the gap between the men our kids think we are and who we truly are. Paul even revealed how volunteer firefighting keeps him mentally sharp and physically fit as he solves pressure-related problems. So, if you want actionable insights on leadership, hiring, networking, and parenting, listen to this episode!

The post FREESTYLE FRIDAY | Jeff Fenster and Travis Chappell Answer Burning Questions appeared first on Travis Chappell.
Jeff Fenster(@fensterjeff ), an entrepreneurial dynamo, Fenster firmly believes in the power of camaraderie and enjoyment in building successful ventures. He is intensely committed to nurturing groundbreaking start-ups that showcase both vertical integration and revenue-stimulating innovation, alongside developing highly capable leadership teams to catalyze the growth of thriving brands.
As a trailblazer in the quick-serve restaurant industry, Fenster founded Everbowl , a rapidly burgeoning superfood brand rooted in Southern California, back in 2016. Everbowl is now nationally renowned as an ascendant force within the sector, democratizing access to affordable, healthy superfoods for all. With a steadily expanding network of retail outlets in Southern California and Arizona, Fenster is the driving force behind Everbowl’s extraordinary growth, with ambitions to proliferate the brand on a nationwide scale via both retail and superfood-infused Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) products. In his successful expansion of the brand, Fenster has pioneered the adoption of innovative strategies to enhance Everbowl’s revenue-generating efficiencies across areas like operations, procurement, supply chain, and construction.
As a motivational mentor and adept team architect, Fenster is committed to fostering a vibrant company culture where the mantra is “make friends and have fun”. Fenster also maintains an active role in community advocacy, generously dedicating his time and resources to support his local community.
What Travis and Jeff discussed:
The societal expectation for teenagers to have a clear idea of their life path, despite their limited life experience and perspective, Jeff shares his own experience of feeling unfulfilled and unsure in academia, nearly dropping out of college, and realizing after law school that he didn’t want to pursue his original goal.
How Jeff has learned the value of being ‘change ready’ and believing that when deciding whether to pivot or persevere, one should play out both scenarios and decide which outcome they’d rather live with, underlining the value of a college degree not in specific skills acquired, but in demonstrating commitment and adaptability.
Why Jeff thinks that while marketing has the potential for scalability and high earnings, he believes that sales is a more crucial skill, especially for entrepreneurship and leadership, as it involves persuasion and effective communication, which can be applied in various situations.
How Jeff leveraged relationship capital and sales acumen to establish a successful digital marketing agency in partnership with renowned SEO expert Neil Patel, eventually leading to substantial personal financial gain.
Jeff’s passion for health and wellness, eventually deciding to disrupt the industry by founding the Everbowl chain of wellness-focused restaurants; his unique approach to business expansion involved developing an in-house construction company to reduce build costs and timeframes, demonstrating an entrepreneurial mindset to identify and solve problems, which played a significant role in Everbowl’s success and rapid growth.

With so much money on the line when it comes to selling your business, you need to get it right. And you can't get it right without understanding your BUYER.

Many podcasters turn up their nose at the idea of charging guests to appear on their shows. Will charging a guest hurt your artistic integrity or make you a “sell-out”?

“Obviously, just like my parents, I hope my kids are happy, make the NBA, and make a ton of money. But if they don’t, I have to prepare them for life, not only how to be good men and leaders, but at the same time, that business sense, because now more than ever, there are millions of dollars waiting at the palm of your hand. You just have to know how to access it.”

"I’m never going to make you do anything that you don’t want to do. I’m never going to try to convince you to do something that you don’t want to do. It’s not my place in life. My place in life is to respect you as I expect you to respect me. And I think if we go back to that, a lot of these problems we have will start to diminish."
