Cory Warfield is the co-founder of ShedWool. ShedWool is an employee scheduling and workforce management software company. What that means is they help staff at companies fill a shift or take on an additional shift. So if someone works at a restaurant they don't have to call all their buddies to see who can cover for them. They can put it in the ShedWool schedule and someone can pick up the shift easily. Early on they were able to work with companies like IBM, American Airlines, BP, Four Seasons and several other high-profile companies. Cory worked in the hospitality industry for years where he saw the need for a scheduling app. He is also the co-founder of Mentor You Global which is a pro bono consulting platform.  Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: [3:20] Jeremy introduces his guest, Cory Warfield. [5:30] Where did the idea for ShedWool come from? [11:40] What caused Cory and the ShedWool team to change their price model? [15:00] Cory talks about their early free model. [20:00] How client feedback helped Cory make a positive shift in the business. [23:00] Cory talks about connecting with high profile corporations. [28:00] What was the post that Cory wrote that went viral? [32:00] Tips for growing your following and professional network. [35:30] How does Cory decide which industries to target? [38:50] Cory talks about ShedWool working with Moonrise. [42:00] What is Mentor You? [50:00] Why did Cory eventually accept outside funding? Who did he hire first? [54:00] A low moment in business for Cory. [57:00] Why Cory turned down a buy out offer. [59:20] Closing thoughts from Cory. In this episode… Did you know that one of the most complicated aspects of the hospitality industry is creating and navigating the shift schedule? Managers and employees stress about their shift schedule more than almost any other aspect of their job. What is the solution? On this episode of Inspired Insider, you’ll hear from innovator and entrepreneur, Cory Warfield. In his conversation with Jeremy, Cory opens up about how he got the idea for ShedWool, why they decided to change their pricing model, how they were able to connect with high profile organizations, tips for growing your network, and much more. You don’t want to miss a minute of this engaging episode featuring Cory’s story! Pain points often show you where innovation is needed. There are so many great ideas out there just waiting for someone to realize that there is no need to settle for the way things have always been. Cory Warfield leveraged his twenty years of experience in the hospitality industry to address an issue that bugged him and his industry peers for years, the shift schedule. Cory was convinced that there had to be a better way to handle the constant frustration over staffing issues, so he went to work on a solution. It wasn’t long before the vision, and the groundwork for ShedWool, Cory’s solution to shift scheduling issues started to form. Solving a problem is one thing: finding the right price to charge for the solution is another thing entirely. Cory’s dream was to offer ShedWool as a free solution, but he soon realized that there wasn’t a clear path forward for the financial viability of his solution without a pricing model. While Cory was able to get some high profile organizations to try ShedWool early on, the free aspect of the platform caused some businesses to hold back, not knowing if it would go the distance. Now, they’ve created a reasonable pricing model at ShedWool, and the brand is thriving. What can you learn from Cory’s experience with the pricing model? One of the best ways to make a name for your brand or business is to expand your personal and professional sphere of influence. Many business leaders are turning to LinkedIn to make these connections and grow their profile. As he increased his engagement on LinkedIn, Cory started to notice his profile rise and his circle of influence expand. Is there a secret to Cory’s expanded reach? Not really. Cory simply took the time to engage with influencers on LinkedIn by liking and commenting on their posts; he also took the time to create content that caused people to engage with him. Do you want to expand your reach as Cory did? If you needed to expand your reach right now, what would you do? Where would you start? Thankfully, Cory was kind enough to share his tips for growing your network. Get to know your network personally. A little extra attention goes a long way! Step up your engagement efforts! You can’t expect to grow your reach by sitting on your hands. Put in the time. The truth is, you’ll need to devote time to this if you want to achieve your goal. This is just the start of Cory’s insights on this topic. Make sure to follow Cory on LinkedIn and learn from his brilliant perspective!

Alex Bates has been learning to adapt his thinking and his approach to life from a young age. He remembers having to fight with his brother for a time slot in front of his families only computer and adjusting to new situations when his family moved from city to city.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: [2:00] Jeremy introduces his guest, Tim Sinclair. [4:00] Where did the idea for Ringr come from? [6:00] How did Tim gather the team he needed to create Ringr? [8:20] What was Tim’s pitch to investors? What did he discover with his research? [10:30] The difference between feedback from radio hosts and podcast hosts.

In this episode… Why is it so difficult to have clear conversations using technology like Skype and FaceTime? You’d think that with all of our innovation over the years that we’d be able to speak with someone without all static and interference that accompanies those services. On this episode of Inspired Insider, you’ll hear from radio host and entrepreneur, Tim Sinclair. In his conversation with Jeremy, Tim talks about his where the idea for Ringr came from, how he built his team, what the development process was like, challenges he has faced along the way, and much more. Don’t miss a minute of this fascinating episode featuring Tim’s story! Did you know that most profitable ideas come from solving a common issue that many people struggle with? It’s true! From the creation of vacuums to other household products like the personal computer, ideas come from someone saying, let’s find a solution. For years, Tim Sinclair was dissatisfied with the sound quality and the lack of clear conversations he could have with guests as a radio host. The idea for Ringr knocked around in Tim’s head for several years until he was finally ready to make his idea a reality, the only problem was, he wasn’t a tech guy. Soon, Tim went to work gathering a team that could help him come up with the technology that would be needed to facilitate clear conversations on the Ringr platform. Tim knew the problem and he knew how to lead and inspire people, but that was it. Once he got the people in the room who could build Ringr, he went to work connecting with his network and figured out what the next step of the process would need to be. Thankfully, a wealthy friend put Tim in touch with an angel investment group who took a chance on Tim and the fledgling Ringr platform. After they started to bring in the right people and get the funding they needed to get the idea off of the ground, Tim joined an incubator group called, Ocean Accelerator. This experience with Ocean wasn’t just a class here or there, or even a meeting via Skype, joining the Ocean Accelerator meant that Tim would have to move 250 miles away for the next six months. Talk about going from zero to sixty! Looking back, Tim points to this experience with Ocean as providing critical information he needed to lay the foundation and set Ringr up for long-term success. Tim’s journey building Ringr wasn’t a stroll in the park; startups never are! Along the way, they’d have to figure out how to price their services and deal with competition. Eventually, Tim and his team landed on a free trial version of their service alongside tiered pricing options. Initially, Tim wanted to provide a free version with unlimited use, but that concept wasn't feasible from a profitability standpoint. Today, Ringr is on solid ground providing clear conversations for thousands of users daily. What can you learn from Tim’s journey with Ringr?

[8:45] How losing 75 pounds helped Sayan gain self-confidence. [12:30] When did Sayan end up quitting his finance job? What systems did he put in place in his business? In this episode… When was the last time you invested in self-development? Is it an area that you take seriously or one that you’ve neglected over the years? Many leaders neglect this important aspect of development at their own peril. On this episode of Inspired Insider, you’ll hear from entrepreneur and innovator, Sayan Sarkar. In his conversation with Jeremy, Sayan opens up about the lowest moment in his career, how self-development helped him persevere, challenges he has faced on his journey, and much more. Don’t miss a minute of this interesting episode featuring Sayan’s story! Self-development isn’t just a nice thing to do when you have free time available; it is a critical aspect of the healthy growth of any leader. Do you have any self-development goals that you’ve been working on? For Sayan Sarkar, self-development is what helped him stay the course when in some of the lowest moments in his career. Looking back, Sayan points to reading books like “Think and Grow Rich” and “Psycho-Cybernetics” as instrumental in his growth as an individual and as a business leader. These days, Sayan relies on self-development a little less and balances his approach with a good dose of healthy personal and professional relationships. Do you have a system in place to build on your success and eventually free yourself up to do what you are best at in your business? Few leaders can make the shift from a small-sized operation to a medium-sized operation simply because they are unable to scale their business and create the systems they need to succeed. Where will your business end up? Is it destined to stay small or will you do the hard work that is necessary to scale your business in a positive direction? Sayan Sarkar wasn’t sure if he would have what it takes to scale his business, but eventually, he was able to put the right systems in place to get the job done.

They also have the Young Innovators Fair which is a K-12 STEM Event where attendees explore the latest in science and tech. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: [1:40] Jeremy introduces his guest, Chad Collins. [3:30] Chad talks about his experience exploring Legos and YouTube with his daughter. [6:30] How did Chad grow his YouTube channel’s subscription and views? [11:45] The very first Brick Fest Live event. [14:10] How did Chad navigate the YouTube channel and working a full-time job? [16:45] Chad talks about that moment he quit his day job. [18:20] What was that first event like? What events have they done since then? [22:10] Where did all the event ideas come from? [25:50] What led Chad to decide to expand the number of his events? [29:50] How did Chad connect with his co-founder? [32:45] Chad talks about the special offering he gave to past event attendees. [36:00] Inviting YouTube influencers to events. [38:40] How Chad’s daughter gets involved at events. [42:30] Chad talks about going to baseball games with his son. [47:45] Writing a book, block by block. [57:45] Chad talks about creating ComicCon for kids. In this episode… What does it take to create family-friendly events for the public? Can you really build an entire business model off of creating events that cater to kids and families? On this episode of Inspired Insider, you’ll hear from business leader and innovator, Chad Collins. In his conversation with Jeremy, Chad opens up about exploring YouTube with his daughter, what led them to create their own YouTube channel, how he ended up planning large scale family-friendly events, and much more. Don’t miss a minute of this fascinating episode featuring Chad’s story! Did you know that some of the best ideas are often discovered during the most ordinary tasks? Little did Chad Collins know that playing Legos with his daughter would end up taking him down the path of starting his own business. After Chad had introduced Legos to his daughter, she started exploring YouTube Lego channels. Soon after that, the two created a YouTube channel of their own talking about Legos, unboxing Legos, and engaging with their audience along the way. From that whole experience, Chad noticed that there was an opening in the event space for families like his that wanted a family-friendly event centered on something they loved like Legos. If you are a parent, you know the struggle of trying to find family-friendly events that everyone can enjoy. There are only so many times that you can take your kid to the local zoo, museum, or park. What do you do when you’ve exhausted all of those options? Looking for a local event that they could take their Lego themed YouTube channel to, Chad discovered that there were none in his area. When they couldn’t find any in-state or nearby events, the idea to create their own event started to germinate in Chad’s mind. Soon, Chad found himself connecting with friends and followers to gauge their interest in a Lego-themed event and then the idea started to become a reality. When was the last time you worked so hard on a project that ended up better than you could have ever imagined? Most people will never know the wonderful feeling that comes from taking an idea and building it into a functioning business. For eighteen long months, Chad had worked his day job, then after dinner spent time on his YouTube channel, all the while planning his first event. You might be wondering when Chad would sleep; he’s likely still catching up on those missed hours. But all of his hard work paid off, and Chad was able to finally walk into his boss's office one day and say those words that every budding entrepreneur wants to say, “I quit.” What can you learn from Chad’s story? Do you ever think of what your legacy will be? That might sound a little morbid or pre-mature depending on your age, but the truth is, everyone should consider how they are impacting the world around them, not just in the present. What started as a fun experience with his daughter, Chad has since built it into a thriving business model. They no longer create YouTube videos together, but Chad’s daughter does play an important role in many of their events. As he considers his daughter’s future, Chad is ultimately focused on one thing, helping her succeed.

While the passage of time seems to paint things in more stark contrasts, it does seem that kids are failing to learn the important lessons of grit and perseverance that previous generations did. What’s the solution? How do we nurture and encourage these tough lessons so children today will learn never to give up? Looking back at his journey, Anthony points to his time wrestling, as a significant period that taught him to dig deep and access the inner strength that he’d need later in life.

Do you believe that your work is helping to improve lives? Do you enjoy the security and comfort that your hard work affords you? Or is there something else that you enjoy that isn’t quite as obvious? For Anthony Constantino, what keeps him going, is the relationships he’s built at Sticker Mule.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: [1:30] Jeremy introduces his guest, Tom Ross. [3:15] Tom talks about the “Dark Side” of the entrepreneurial life. [10:30] How did Tom turn things around for his health and his business? [14:30] What did Tom learn from his father? [19:00] How do you build highly engaged communities? [21:00] What does it take to wow customers? [24:00] Why branding and website design is so important. [28:30] Tom talks about what they feature on Design Cuts. [31:20] Who should be using Design Cuts? [36:15] Creating value for your target audience. [39:00] Tom talks about some of the clients that he has worked with. [41:00] Common challenges in the design community.

[49:00] Tom talks about some proud moments in his career. In this episode… Are entrepreneurs superhuman? That might sound like a crazy question, but the reality is, many entrepreneurs have bought the myth that you can work at a superhuman level without any negative consequences. On this episode of Inspired Insider, you’ll hear from business leader and innovator, Tom Ross. In his conversation with Jeremy, Tom opens up about the limitations of the “Hustle” mindset, what it was like hitting rock bottom, how he built a solid team, why it’s important to provide value to your audience, and much more. Don’t miss a minute of this engaging episode featuring Tom’s story! While entrepreneurs have always been known as the type to push boundaries and live on the cutting edge, there is a difference between that reality and burnout. Have you bumped up against that often hard to define, line? What do you do to keep yourself grounded and safe from burnout? In the early days of his business, Tom Ross saw all the positive results of his “hustle” mindset, but he ignored the negative aspects. Soon, Tom’s health was rapidly headed in the wrong direction, and he had no idea what to do. Thankfully, after an operation and a significant reevaluation of his personal and professional lifestyle, he was able to recover. Do you know your limitations? What is the best way to connect with your target audience? Is it reasonable to expect them to flock to your website or follow you on social media? Do businesses and brands have a responsibility to engage and cultivate a relationship with their audience? According to Tom Ross, it all comes down to providing value. Tom saw support and enthusiasm for Design Cuts grow when he and his team focused on delivering value to their target audience. Instead of an attitude where they expected their customers to flock to them, Tom and his team sought out their audience and provided them with helpful resources. What will you do to stand out from the rest of the competition in your industry? When was the last time you visited a businesses website and found yourself shocked at the lack of functionality and attractive aesthetics? Unfortunately, even in our uber, digitally-focused world, big organizations and businesses fail to understand the value of consistent branding. Tom Ross is passionate about making sure that Design Cuts and other projects he gets involved with, take the subject of branding seriously. In his mind, it is unacceptable for serious businesses to put zero effort into telling their story and connecting with the public in a meaningful way. Every business won’t have a polished and seamless brand as the likes of Apple, but the effort and energy can go a long way to show the public that they care.

In this episode… As ecommerce giants like Amazon continue their path to increasing control of the marketplace, where does that leave customers?

In his conversation with Jeremy, Stephan opens up about his experience on Shark Tank, how he developed Tower’s branding, what it is like working with Mark Cuban, why he created No Middleman, and much more.

What would you do to make your product or service stand out from all the rest? Stephan Aarstol had the opportunity to feature his brand, Tower Paddle Boards, on one of the early seasons of Shark Tank. Benefiting from that experience, Tower Paddle Boards was able to secure funding and additional investment by Mark Cuban.

It’s true! When you look at the landscape of today’s marketplace you can see that brands are making a massive shift to align with the values of Millennials, chief among those values is authenticity. Is your brand authentic? Is it trying to be something that it is not? As he built Tower Paddle Boards, Stephan Aarstol forced himself and his team to ask this question as they worked to expand the brand and feature new products. Would it make sense for a beach themed brand to put out pillowcases? No! Don’t try to be something you are not, embrace your esthetic, don’t run from it. What would it take to even the playing field and bring more options to customers in today’s ecommerce marketplace? What if there was a platform like Amazon, but instead of Amazon’s best interests at heart, it had customers? Seeing a noticeable gap in the marketplace, Stephan Aarstol went to work creating a new direct to consumer platform called, No Middleman. Stephan and his team have created a searchable directory and online showroom for the worlds best direct to consumer products and brands. With today’s ecommerce landscape, there is no reason why intelligent consumers shouldn’t have a platform they can trust. Learn more about No Middleman by checking out their website, located in the resources section at the end of this post. You’ve heard the adage, “Work smarter, not harder.” What if more businesses actually operated with that concept at the forefront? Would we see more organizations adjusting their business practices around the actual workload instead of a bygone system? Stephan Aarstol thinks so! In his conversation with Jeremy, Stephan talked about his “Five Hour Workday” model that he’s implemented throughout his organization. People thought Stephan was crazy for taking this radical step, but the truth is, it worked! Stephan’s organization embraced this concept and thrived as a result. Could it be time for your company to consider a Five Hour Workday?

Susie Allport is the founder of Susie’s Smart Cookies. Susie started baking omega-3 rich cookies for her family shortly after writing her book, “The Queen Of Fats,” a history of the omega-3 fatty acid research. She used the fact that flaxseed meal, walnuts, and canola oil are rich in omega-3s to adapt favorite family recipes. Soon friends were asking her for her delicious and satisfying treats. Thus a science writer became a baker, and Susie's Smart Cookie was born. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: [0:40] Jeremy introduces his guest, Susie Allport. [4:00] Why is it so important to consume Omega-3 Fatty Acids? [6:00] Susie talks about the cookies she’s created. [8:00] What flavors are available? Where do the Omega-3’s come? [10:00] How did the entrepreneurship society help Susie? Challenges and milestones. In this episode… Did you know that your diet is most likely lacking in essential fats like Omega-3’s and Omega-6’s? The fact is, most Americans don’t consume enough green vegetables or the meat of animals that do. What is the solution? On this episode of Inspired Insider, you’ll hear from entrepreneur and innovator, Susie Allport. In her conversation with Jeremy, Susie talks about why consuming Omega-3 fatty acids is so important, how she created her cookies with essential fats, challenges she has faced along the way, and much more. Don’t miss a minute of this fascinating episode featuring Susie’s story! What if there was a way to increase the level of essential fats in your diet without taking fish oil capsules? Let’s face it, the reason why most people don’t get the Omega-3’s and Omega-6’s that they need is that the foods that are rich in these essential fats aren’t convenient. It might sound spoiled, but the truth is, most of our diet revolves around what is convenient. Recognizing that, Susie Allport and her team went to work on a fast and easy food product that just about everyone would eat, a breakfast cookie. You can learn more about Susie’s cookies by visiting the link to her website located in the resources section. If you wanted to get a delicious and healthy food product into the marketplace, how would you do it? Would you make sure it was the best food product possible or would you focus on marketing and the benefits your product provides? As it turns out, the production process was simple for Susie Allport and her team at Susie’s Smart Cookies. After they got the product just right, they went to work getting it in front of as many customers as possible. That has proven the more challenging aspect of their journey so far.
