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 Mike Matthews, founder of Legion, the #1 selling brand of all-natural sports supplements. Mike started Muscle For Life, where he wrote numerous best selling books, such as Bigger, Leaner, Stronger. As Mikes influence began to attract much demand in the fitness and health space, Mike was a person many people would lean towards for their own fitness goals.  Being a consumer himself, Mike began to realize the false marketing that goes into most nutrition and supplement brands. Being an influence towards his audience, he put matter into his own hands by creating Legion, a transparent and proven supplement brand. Legion is now amassing over 2 million bottles sold and the results are showing from consumers around the globe.

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.  Make sure to check out VIDE at: https://www.drinkvide.com/   Follow Starting Small: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/startingsmallpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Startingsmallpod/?modal=admin_todo_tour LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/cameronnagle   Support for Starting Small comes from Humanscale, the leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance ergonomic products that help create a healthier work life.

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 Kelsey Moreira, founder of Doughp, cookie dough delivered to your door, ready to eat raw or baked, you choose. Obtaining an opportunity to join Intel for a program, Kelsey began her career in tech at a young age. With the heavy social demands in her industry and setting, Kelsey was confronted with an alcohol addiction, putting a toll on her progress and mental health. Trying countless times to overcome this addiction, Kelsey couldn't seem to cross the obstacle... until she found baking.  Kelsey became sober in 2015 and officially launched Doughp in 2017 with a deep passion towards providing the best cookie dough on the market. After much growth, Doughp was featured on Shark Tank in 2019, and Kelsey was named Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2020.

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. Make sure to check out Cousins Maine Lobster at: https://www.cousinsmainelobster.com/   Follow Starting Small: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/startingsmallpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Startingsmallpod/?modal=admin_todo_tour LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/cameronnagle   Support for Starting Small comes from Humanscale, the leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance ergonomic products that help create a healthier work life.

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.  Make sure to check out Lumina at: https://getlumina.com/   Follow Starting Small: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/startingsmallpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Startingsmallpod/?modal=admin_todo_tour LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/cameronnagle   Support for Starting Small comes from Humanscale, the leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance ergonomic products that help create a healthier work life.

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.
