    KiwiCo: Sandra Oh Lin

    KiwiCo: Sandra Oh Lin

    KiwiCo founder Sandra Oh Lin took an after-school pastime and turned it into a multi-million-dollar business. After quitting a high-powered job in tech, she dived into doing after-school projects with her kids, like making puppets out of Styrofoam or combining baking soda and vinegar to see what happens. When she discovered that other parents liked these projects too, she decided to create a subscription box company that sent out science and crafts kits every month. She gathered kids in her garage to test-market her ideas, and pitched her plan over and over to investors in Silicon Valley, where her car was “the only minivan in the parking lot.”  Today KiwiCo is the leading subscription box for kids, and has shipped over 50 million crates worldwide.

    If you don't know WHY you're posting... listen to THIS

    If you don't know WHY you're posting... listen to THIS

    SOC... It's something we exercise a lot at my agency, VaynerMedia. It stands for "Strategic Organic Content". So many of us have lost sight of how to capture attention, and the secret is strategy. Why are you posting what you're posting? What's the thumbnail going to be? When are you posting it? Why are you posting on one platform versus another? Being successful on social media isn't a game of holding your breath and hoping it works; it's a game of strategy. In today's episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I'm sharing my Metro Exhibits Fireside Chat. I give a bit of background on how I operate as an entrepreneur and businessman, and then dive into some questions the crowd had. I really hope you enjoy this one! It's always nice to give talks in New Jersey

    Why you need to take your dream job off that pedestal

    Why you need to take your dream job off that pedestal

    Look, we get it. You've landed an interview for your DREAM JOB. But here's the thing - slapping the 'dream job' label on it can bring some serious jitters. 

    In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma are tackling the pressure cooker situation when you're in the running for that golden role. We're all about helping you shake off the nerves and show up as your awesome self. We'll serve up some down-to-earth strategies to shift that mindset, so you can turn up to that interview excited but confident, letting the real you shine through.

    🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Kate “Hi Sarah and Emma, you guys had no idea how much you've helped me in this job search! Before listening to your podcasts, I couldn't even know how to answer "Tell me about yourself". And because of that, I rarely passed the 1st round of interviews. I was scared to tell them where I'm from because my 1st language isn't English and my job is in the legal field. I simply did not know about myself and never reflected on why I wanted to be in this field. But you guys appeared in my life like ANGELS!!! After listening to your podcasts religiously, and I meant RELIGIOUSLY. It makes so much sense why I was so bad at interviewing. I decided to attend a coaching session with Sarah. And OMG was that the best investment I've ever made in myself!!! After the coaching session, I CONSISTENTLY made it to the final rounds of all the jobs that I applied. And I'm happy to share that I finally got an offer!! They offer $20K more than I currently make, a hybrid working schedule and much better benefits. I cannot do this without your help. Please, keep up the good work!”

    FROM FASTCO WORKS AND SAP - Growth Agents: The inside story of Sweetgreen’s rapid rise to the top
    Mitch Reback, CFO of Sweetgreen, is one of the rising corporate financial stars who is helping to take their companies to the next level. When he started, Sweetgreen had 25 stores; today, there are more than 220—and Reback says the company is still in its “infancy.” In this podcast, part of the SAP-sponsored Growth Agents series, Reback takes a deep dive into his role as a growth agent. Capital is the engine that drives growth, and Reback says his job is to make sure the company has adequate capital to grow as well as determining how best to allocate it, including investments in stores, marketing, staff, and technology—or, as he puts it, to push innovation forward in a way that’s capital efficient.

    Bonobos: Andy Dunn (2019)

    Bonobos: Andy Dunn (2019)

    When Andy Dunn was in business school, his housemate Brian Spaly created a new type of men's pants: stylish, tailored trousers that fit well in both the hips and thighs. Together, they started the men's clothing company Bonobos, which became an instant hit due to the pants' signature flair and innovative e-commerce experience. But within a few years, Andy hit challenging roadblocks, including a struggle with depression and a falling-out with his co-founder and friend. Despite many moments of crisis, Andy steered Bonobos to massive success, and in 2017, it was acquired by Walmart for a reported $310 million.

    Dang Foods: Vincent and Andrew Kitirattragarn

    Dang Foods: Vincent and Andrew Kitirattragarn
    Vincent Kitirattragarn grew up in a Thai-Chinese-American household, which meant eating congee and lemongrass chicken, while also ordering chicken McNuggets with his younger brothers. He dreamed of opening his own Thai restaurant, but an exhausting stint working at one convinced him that his entrepreneurial path would never be in the restaurant industry. Instead Vincent's Asian-inspired snack food brand, Dang Foods, was born in 2011 when a delicious home-cooking experiment led him to start importing coconut chips from Thailand. Vincent's brother Andrew joined a few years later to help grow the brand through a series of snack product successes—and some tasty but colossal flops. Today, the company sells their brightly-packaged coconut chips, rice crackers, and energy bars in over 10,000 stores across the country.

    Building The Starbucks Empire w/ Howard Behar

    Building The Starbucks Empire w/ Howard Behar
    Despite Starbucks employees seeking to unionize, the company prides itself on being a place that deeply cares about the workers. In today's episode, you will meet the man that helped make that happen.   How often do you get the chance to tap into the mind of one of the MOST SUCCESSFUL CONSUMER-ORIENTED BUSINESS LEADERS for more than 50 years?   Do you want to learn first-hand what it was like to grow STARBUCKS COFFEE from only 28 STORES TO MORE THAN 15,000 stores spanning five continents?   This week’s guest, HOWARD BEHAR, has done that and a lot more.   He is best known for guiding the Starbucks brand for 21 years as President of North America and as the founding President of Starbucks International.  His philosophy of SERVANT LEADERSHIP is memorable for introducing lessons such as “The Person Who Sweeps the Floor Should Choose the Broom” and “Only the Truth Sounds Like the Truth.”   If you want to LEAD OTHERS MORE EFFECTIVELY and EXPERT ADVICE on what it takes to grow your current business exponentially, you must listen to how Howard did it using servant leadership and how you can too.   Howard and I also discuss why and how the right business CULTURE is a primary driving force of any company’s growth.  He reveals some of the policies he implemented to EMPOWER employees to make decisions that put customers first.  Part of this culture also involved recognizing employees, making sure they’re paid well, and that their voices were heard daily.   Let me leave you with two final (and INCREDIBLE) facts.   The systems and practices Howard and others put in place continue to breed success to this day.  Although he retired when Starbucks had 15,000 stores, today, there are almost 33,000 STORES IN 83 COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE.   Finally, and perhaps the most amazing thing of all, HOWARD SHARED HIS PERSONAL PHONE NUMBER AND EMAIL and encourages YOU to reach out and contact him because it brings him joy and purpose.     That’s only happened one other time in all the shows I’ve taped, and quite simply one of the most impressive displays of servant leadership I’ve ever seen.   If you want to know what success is all about, grab a hot cup of coffee and get ready to enjoy a great hour filled with valuable lessons you can use in your own business and personal life.

    Untangling curly job interview questions

    Untangling curly job interview questions
    Picture this: you’re in a job interview, you’ve nailed some answers, you’re feeling confident… and then they hit you with a question COMPLETELY out of left field “if you were an animal, what would you be and why”. Your mind goes blank, you start to panic - what on earth are you meant to say - and WHY are they asking you this question?!

    In this episode we go through the curly interview questions our listeners have been asked. We explain why an interviewer might ask them and what they’re looking for in your answer. There’s no way we’ll be able to cover every curly question you might get, but we’ll show you some basic principles that will make sure you can come up with something!

    Casper: Philip Krim

    Casper: Philip Krim
    In the early 2000's, Philip Krim launched an e-commerce business out of his college dorm, selling everything from window blinds to eczema cream to yes, mattresses. Years later, inspired by online successes like Warby Parker and Harry's, Philip and his partners launched Casper, a DTC company that designed its own mattresses, compressed them into boxes, and helped turn a mundane purchase into an Instagrammable adventure. Within months, sales began to take off; and soon, copycat brands crowded into the DTC mattress space, creating competition and buzz in a previously sleepy sector. (Pun unavoidable) Despite these challenges, Casper's valuation soared to $1 billion in 2019, only to shrink by half for its 2020 IPO. Today, Philip says he's focused on the future, with ambitions to build Casper into a one-stop-brand for all things sleep-related.
