Business Advisor and Marketing Strategist Cynthia Nevels is on the show and she's making it her mission to educate the startup community about Equity Crowdfunding. She has started Thinkcrowdfund.com to bring together investors and businesses. This is in addition to her technology and business management consulting firm, Integrality.

In this episode, we learn about the focused process Cynthia tackles every project, and the amazing opportunity in the Equity Crowdfunding space.

Crowd funding is gaining more and more traction, but the majority of the press certainly goes to the reward based version, like what Kickstarter and Indiegogo have created.  But there is some serious money and attention being placed these days in the equity crowd funding space.  My guest on the show today, Cynthia Nevels, besides being a serial entrepreneur, is an expert in this space and she’s made it her mission to teach startups all about it.

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.

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.

The word Drone is definitely a hot buzz word these days.  It causes fear in some folks, excitement in others, and everyone pays attention when it's being discussed.  My guest on the show today, Chad Frazer, is definitely someone you’ll want to pay attention to.  He’s one of the key organizers of the North Texas Drone User Group.  We dive into the latest in drone technology as well as his background as a mechanical engineer and his time in the military that gives a him a very unique take on all of this.

If you’ve been involved in any way with the Startup Community here in Dallas, then you probably know something about the Dallas Entrepreneur Center, a hub of collaboration and resources for startups.  Our guest on the show today, Trey Bowles, the co-founder and CEO of the DEC is quick to point out, though, that they are just one of many such hubs here in the metroplex.  And that’s exactly how they like it.

If you’ve listened to very many of these shows, then you know that some of my favorite stories of startups involve the founder doing something he or she never in a million years thought they’d be doing.  Today’s show with guest Michael Simmons and his company, Oyster, is the epitome of that.

So how does someone who thought they’d spend their life in the military end up running a marketing agency that brings its clients wildly different perspectives on how to market themselves? We find out in this episode.

But first,  today’s show is sponsored once again by the great brewing artisans at Urban Blend.  Located in the West End, they have been caffeinating the startup community in Dallas with gusto.  And if you can’t get to them, they can still get their magnificent coffee to you.  That’s right, go to ubcoffee.squarespace.com and find out how.

I’ve had the good fortune to visit with Michael on a number of occasions outside of this interview, and he never ceases to impress me with his perspective on not only marketing, but business in general.  I hope you got that same sense about him after this interview.  Reach out to Michael and let him know you saw him on the show.

And the show is also sponsored by TheSharpGentleman.com - where else can buy awesome clothes, learn how to be the most attractive guy in the room, get pushed into being bold, and even save your marriage - all in one spot?  Blake Hammerton is a powerhouse of manners, style, and charisma - and he’s synthesizing all he is at his site:  TheSharpGentleman.com.

I am so impressed with this guy.  What a treasure chest of knowledge to help us all go out and build our networks.  Reach out to Jason at BeExtraordinary.tv.  Let him know you saw him on the show.  I’ll have links from the show at startupdallas.co/31 as well as the video version of this (for those listening right now on iTunes and Stitcher).

And drop me a line at [email protected] or on Twitter @StartupDallasTV.  Let me know what you thought of the episode and what else you’d like to hear about on the show.

Thank you to our sponsors Urban Blend and TheSharpGentleman.com.  And as always, this show is powered by MagicProductionGroup.com, specializing in video marketing and live corporate events.

And if you liked this episode, please make sure you head on over to iTunes and subscribe.  You can also find us on Stitcher.  I’ve got a lot more great interviews on the way.  And please, leave us a review.  It’s a huge help in the show getting discovered and in front of more folks.

Also, if you’re in the Dallas area and you want to meet up, you can join me in North Dallas at the Coffee House Cafe every Tuesday morning for the Dallas Open Coffee Club where my co-host, Aimee Bentson and I host an hour of talking tech, startups and digital lifestyle.  You can find us on Meetup.com and search BigDOCC.  If you’re closer to downtown, this group’s founder, Michael Sitarzewski hosts his Tuesday morning meeting at 1700 Pacific.  Either way, you’ll meet and get to know some great folks in the startup community.
