    Jason Fried challenges your thinking on fundraising, goals, growth, and more

    Jason Fried is the co-founder and CEO of 37signals, the maker of Basecamp and HEY. 37signals is a very different kind of company. With fewer than 80 employees, they have over 100,000 customers, generate tens of millions of dollars in profit each year, and have no investors, board, or any plans to ever raise money or sell the company. In our conversation, we explore a path many tech founders never consider—bootstrapping. We discuss:

    • Why he and his team prioritize profit above all else

    • The unexpected challenges with raising venture capital

    • The “Shape Up” framework for building products

    • Why, and how, to foster a gut-driven culture

    • Jason’s thoughts on why work should not feel like war

    • Advice for starting a bootstrapped business

    • The philosophy behind Once, 37signals’s new line of software products

    Priority Bicycles: Dave Weiner

    Priority Bicycles: Dave Weiner

    Priority Bicycles founder Dave Weiner quit his job as a software CEO to pursue a risky idea: building a new kind of bike. In 2014, he started sourcing parts to make his first low-maintenance model, with a rust-proof aluminum frame and a carbon fiber belt drive instead of a chain. Dave was able to keep costs down by selling DTC, but had to scramble to meet demand when his first Kickstarter campaign yielded 1500 orders. From there, Priority pedaled forward steadily, adding new models, and partnering with hotels to provide low-maintenance bikes for guests. Today, after weathering the extreme whiplash of Covid and a debilitating bike accident, Dave is optimistic that Priority will keep growing, with 25 current models and sales of roughly 25,000 bikes a year.

    Alli Webb ON: How to Embrace Imposter Syndrome & Ways to Take Small Steps Towards Big Success

    For some, success is elusive while for others, it’s years of hard work and dedication.

    But how can one truly and effectively achieve success?

    How can we be as successful as the leaders we look up to?

    Today, in the On Purpose podcast, Jay sits down with New York Times Bestselling Author, Alli Webb. After spending 15 years as a professional hairstylist, in 2010, she pioneered the Drybar concept, a chain of hair salons known for blowout services that quickly expanded nationwide. Jay and Alli go in depth about what the journey was behind creating a business to eventually selling the company for $225 million! Alli’s remarkable journey has landed her on the cover of Inc. Magazine, Fast Company's "100 Most Creative People in Business" list, Fortune magazine's "40 Under 40," and more. 

    Alli and Jay explored the messy truth about starting something new– whether it’s a business or a relationship. They also talked about the importance of intuition and paying attention to red flags in entrepreneurship and the role of passion and love for what you do. 

    You will also learn about how Alli balances her personal and professional life and the difficulty of navigating and ending a marriage. Remember that sometimes, we won’t always have the ‘perfect ending’ in our stories, and that’s okay. 

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    • The messy truths of entrepreneurship
    • The importance of acknowledging imposter syndrome and using it as a source of motivation and growth
    • The challenges and risks associated with starting and running a business
    • How to take feedback as a gift
    • How to cope with life changes and challenges

    Remember that the most beautiful masterpieces are often created from the messiest of beginnings.

    Drew Lyon: Redefining Business Success Beyond Money

    Drew Lyon is a visionary entrepreneur and a fierce advocate for change through entrepreneurship. As the CEO of Focused Energy, Drew spearheads a team of fractional operators, bringing tactical, strategic guidance and driving tangible results for scaling companies across diverse industries. In our conversation, we explored the essential elements that drive businesses to success and the common pitfalls that many companies inadvertently fall into. A crucial point he emphasizes is the dangerous "lies" businesses often tell themselves, illustrated by his insightful examples, such as a business unknowingly bleeding cash due to a whopping 20% churn rate. Drew notes, "Most businesses and business leaders have a certain perception of their business…Most times they've been telling themselves great lies."

    With a keen eye for detail, Drew sheds light on the nuances of achieving Product Market Fit and the importance of unit economics in the path to profitability. One powerful takeaway from our chat is the significance of understanding the underlying story behind the numbers. As Drew rightfully points out, "Venture capitalists, PE firm, they're not stupid…It has to be simple. Just because it's simple doesn't mean it's easy."

    However, what truly sets Drew apart is his unwavering mission to aid others through entrepreneurship. His daily grind, waking up at the crack of dawn and putting in the work, stems from his profound belief in helping others. He poignantly shares, "Money always follows passion. But understand, why do you wake up in the morning? What change are you making?" A sentiment that is not only inspiring but also contagious.

    Join us for this insightful episode to learn more about the intricate balance of passion, understanding your business, and the art of persistence. Dive into the depths of entrepreneurship with Drew Lyon and discover the transformative power of believing in something more than money.

    Have you ever resented someone from keeping a secret from you?

    Do you often put other people's feelings before your own?

    In this incredibly vulnerable episode with Kerry Washington, we dive into the complicated nature of family and generational trauma. We learn about how both compassion and pain co-exist. We explore how to receive and react to challenging news. This episode is one that you definitely do not want to miss if you have ever dealt with navigating familial relationships and dynamics.

    In this episode we dive deep into what it means to step into your authentic self and the tools needed to do so.

    Today, I welcome multi-platinum, award-winning singer, songwriter, actress, and activist Becky G. The 26-year-old global superstar's long list of achievements include four Latin GRAMMY nominations, four number one hits on the Billboard Latin Airplay Charts, and her debut album Mala Santa (October 2019) is certified 8X Platinum in the United States. In June, Becky released her latest single “La Nena” alongside Gabito Ballesteros giving fans another glimpse of what’s to come. 

    Becky G did not hesitate to dive deep into the heart of authenticity and self-discovery. We start by awakening to a deeper sense of self, shaking off those social constructs that keep us from being our authentic selves. It's a reminder that it's perfectly okay to embrace who we are and find happiness in that authenticity.

    Throughout our conversation, we explore the importance of creating spaces where our uniqueness is celebrated, not just tolerated. We also touch on the idea that it's alright if not everyone likes us - what truly matters is staying true to ourselves.

    • How to embrace your uniqueness
    • How to take risks for success

    • How stay focused on your goal

    The Psychology of Decision Making: Strategies for Better Choices

    The Psychology of Decision Making:  Strategies for Better Choices

    Today, we're diving deep into the fascinating world of decision-making because, let's face it, we make choices left and right every single day. Some are as big as deciding to tie the knot or have kiddos, while others are as small as picking out the right T-shirt color!

    So, what's the secret sauce to making the best choices for your life? Well, I've got some fantastic tips to share with you:

    1️⃣ First things first, let's talk about finding your "North Star." It's like setting your life's GPS to what truly matters to you. What do you want your life to look like, and what's your ultimate purpose? Let's align your decisions with that guiding star!

    2️⃣ You've got skills and talents, right? So do I! But it's essential to choose paths that align with your North Star, not just the ones that bring in the big bucks. Trust me; fulfillment is the name of the game.

    3️⃣ Speaking of fulfillment, ever noticed how some choices just feel right deep down in your gut? Well, there's actual science behind it! Your gut feeling, or intuition, is a powerful decision-making tool linked to your enteric nervous system. It's your second brain, and it's worth paying attention to!

    4️⃣ To make even better choices, try the "10-10-10 rule." Ask yourself how you'll feel about a decision in 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years. It's like peering into the future to see if your choice stands the test of time!
     

    5️⃣ Lastly, remember to pause and reflect. Give your brain some time to shift from emotional reactions to logical reasoning. This simple step can save you from impulsive decisions you might regret later.

    I get it; we're often drawn to logical thinking, but sometimes our feelings and intuition are our secret superpowers. When you blend gut instincts with critical thinking, magic happens! 🌟

    So, join me on this incredible journey of self-discovery and better decision-making. Hit that subscribe button, leave a comment, and let's embark on a mind-blowing adventure together!

    Air Lease Corporation: Steven Udvar-Hazy

    Air Lease Corporation: Steven Udvar-Hazy

    Before Steven Udvar-Hazy was out of high school, he started working as an airline consultant. You could do that sort of thing back in the 1960’s, if you knew the industry—which indisputably, he did. Born in Communist Hungary, Steven was obsessed with aviation at an early age, memorizing plane serial numbers and schedules for fun.  In his early 20’s he started his own small airline in California.  But he quickly learned the big money was in aircraft leasing, so at the dawn of the jet age, he started his own leasing company. Today he runs Air Lease Corporation, which has made him a billionaire, and given him the resources to finance the dazzling extension to the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum in Virginia - named of course, the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.
