Today's episode is a special one.  This was the first episode of Startup Dallas that we shot in on location in front of a live audience at The DEC (Dallas Entrepreneur Center).

And what better guest to have on for this special episode than Daniel Black, CEO and Cofounder of Glass-Media, a cloud-based, on-demand in-store and storefront projection-based marketing solution for the retail industry.

100% of ticket sales went to The Dallas Entrepreneur Center, a 501(c)(3) non-profit which serves entrepreneurs in the Dallas area, providing a location where they can receive training, education, mentorship, promotion and access to capital in order to encourage and equip the entrepreneurial community to start, build and grow their businesses.  The DEC graciously provided the venue for this event and so much support in the production of it.

Much thanks to everyone who came out for this show and spread the word for us.

And thank you big:

Lauren Zeien and Trey Bowles for weeks of help.

Michael Drake from The Drake Studios was a huge help the night of production by lending his shooting expertise.

Raj Daniels spread the word far and wide to his many, many contacts in the community.

Launch DFW posted a great write up for us and will soon start broadcasting our episodes through their site and beyond!  Look out for that, indeed.

Drizly, a quickly expanding national alcohol-delivery service, helped sponsor the event with some great beers for the live audience.  ***Use Promo Code SUDALLAS for a special discount at drizly.com***

Our long-time sponsor, White Pants Agency helped sponsor this special episode as well, and linked us up with the great folks at Red Bull, who were wonderful enough to provide lots of product for us!

And, as always, this show was powered by Magic Production Group, specializing in live corporate events and video production, and now offering a special Startup Package of video products for new companies looking to get started with marketing videos.  Details coming soon at magicproductiongroup.com.

Welcome to episode 52!  Today I have the privilege of bringing you a deal making rock star, John Logar.  Get out a pen and paper and strap in as John gives you amazing insights into structuring deals and validating ideas quickly.

John Logar is a master deal maker and the person you want in your corner when building your consultancy business. For the last 25 years as a sales professional, marketing consultant, trainer, international speaker and coach, John has helped his clients generate millions of dollars in businesses all around the world in almost every imaginable industry.

In this interview, John goes through step by step on so many tactics for creating new business out of nothing. He teaches us how to not only validate a business idea before you go through the work of building it, but how to even sell it first.

He's also got his own very informative podcast - Business Unleashed.

But first, today’s show is exclusively sponsored by the White Pants Agency - offering professional digital and social media marketing services. Located in the Dallas Design District. Cole, Trevor and Brian are revolutionizing digital advertising for some of the most exciting brands in the world. Their services range from social media management to strategy and analytics.

Take a minute to stop by and talk to White Pants about their signature process of Intelligent Risk. They have combined advertising with data science to make sure their customers get the best ROI for every marketing dollar spent. Not only that, but they are firm believers in disrupting tradition. They love taking brands to places they’ve never been before.

So go to www.whitepantsagency.com or start following them Facebook or Instagram. The White Pants team engage with major brands as well as small startups, and have a ton of wild adventures that you can follow. In fact, the other day I saw them flying a drone with a Ben and Jerry’s ice cream truck, I’m sure there’s a great story there.

That was a blast.  So much useful content there.  Thank you to Joe Payton from Genius Den for the introduction to John.  I’ll have links to reach out to John as well as the video version of this show at StartupDallas.co/52.

Okay, let’s go start something.
