Tower Farming & Cannabis Business w/ True Garden
- BRT S02 EP03 01-17-21 (50)
What We Learned This Week:
Guests: Troy Albright, Rph of True Garden (f 2013) & Rx Formulations
https://truegarden.com/
True Garden Tower Framing & greenhouses has a location in Mesa, AZ. They have local grown food distributed to local restaurants and markets. Troy's background is as a chemist and pharmacist who worked in alternative medicine previously.
They sell Tower Farms, and advise on their use both personally and for business (also advises Cannabis companies in U.S. and Europe). This tech uses less water, less land, and grows clean food. Example is the Greenhouse of 5000 sq ft, that grows 1 acre of food on 1/9 the land size.
True Garden is home to the first-of-its-kind facility. It is operated by solar power and produces local, living produce available year-round in the hot desert regions of Phoenix and the Southwest US.
They are the first high-tech greenhouse in the U.S. capable of producing most cool season food crops year-round—even in the scorching desert, where temperatures reach 120 degrees during the day and 90 degrees at night during summer months. The greenhouse uses very little energy in the winter months by operating in a naturally vented mode.
During the hotter summer months, the greenhouse utilizes a combination of smart and efficient technologies to affordably keep the greenhouse at optimal temperatures, both during the day and night. If we can grow in the desert, we can help you grow anywhere!
The patented vertical aeroponic Tower Garden® technology is made from some of the best food grade plastic available on earth. Their plastic is FDA food grade compliant and free of harmful components commonly found in today’s agriculture-grade plastics. Additionally, they designed the Tower Garden® product for decades of use!
The plastic is several times thicker than almost all hydroponic products available on the market today. The plastic is also completely opaque, keeping all sunlight out (which naturally inhibits algae growth), and is UV stabilized for outdoor protection.

Alan covers the Cannabis industry, from investing ideas to news. He discusses AZ legalization in 11/2020, the Cannabis farming industry, from indoor to out-door, and green houses. Alan breaks down the Cannabis product, what is used for smoked product vs extracted products.
No interstate commerce on pot, so a distributor must grow and operate in 1 state, maybe 3 – 5 years away
Indoor – high quality, high price, controlled
Outdoor – natural, less expensive, elements issues

Start Your Business New Year – Networking & Recruiting
- BRT S02 EP02 01-10-21 (49)
Things We Learned This Week:
Guests: Gelie of Networking Phoenix https://www.networkingphoenix.com/
https://www.linkedin.com/in/gelie/
Entrepreneur - Community Leader - TEDx Presenter - Mentor – Momma
Networking Process & Tips:
The Importance of Relationships
Relationships and Reputation: Not just who you know, but who knows you. Build your network before you need it
How to use social media to connect, and the don’ts of the whole process
Use Ice Breakers to build connection and establish commonalities and likeability
Gelie is a Russian immigrant that came to the US in 1989. After working in the corporate world, she started Networking Phx on 1/1/2008, in midst of economic crash, as a source to connect netwkg events, pre-social media
Gelie hosts weekly Friday networking calls virtually
Tips - Relationships and Reputation: Not just who you know, but who knows you. Build your network before you need it
Ian Freeman – Vertical Move
https://www.verticalmove.com/
https://www.linkedin.com/in/ianthefreeman/
Ian Freeman talks Recruiting Basics - Benefits to using a recruiter, process for recruiting, & the Value of Relationships and contacts in business.
Pandemic 2020 gave excuse to Co’s that wanted to Level up and trim bad employees, bottom 10%. This created lots of job supply and demand goes down - stay at your job if you have one, and go job searching later in 2021, when there will be lots of competition for jobs. Co. always pays for recruitment service, but if Ian places a CIO at a Walmart, for example then that CIO may hire Ian for their recruiting needs or future hires
Verticalmove
Our ongoing success and existence has been defined by a simple, but unique approach that defies the industry-standard. First and foremost we thrive on building lasting personal relationships with everyone we come in contact with each day. Equally as important is our pursuit to become the most knowledgeable experts in our given area of expertise along with upholding traditional ethics and privacy.
Relationships are the essence of our business
We’ve built a sizable portfolio of clientele from relationships that were established more than twelve-years ago. Reminiscent of our first hire in the industry, an Engineering Manager at Macromedia, this individual still solicits our assistance when building new teams or when she’s looking for the next ‘big thing’ herself – more than a decade later the relationship is still strong.
Headhunting versus Recruiting
We have always considered ourselves as being Headhunters rather than Recruiters. We do not rummage through resume boards searching for that proverbial needle in the bottomless haystack. Find one good resume and its safe to assume that twenty other recruiting firms have found the same individual. No thanks; we’d rather avoid overly competitive situations by identifying professionals that are passive and not announcing their availability to the masses via the Internet. Most of the individuals we either place in contract or full-time assignments are ninety-percent likely to have found their prior position(s) through us as well.
Tips for a Recruit -
High EQ, Asks Qs, prepare for the process - if a client (recruit) presents well, this represents on Ian's Reputation
LinkedIn – update your profile with specific skills for recruiters to find you, it is your public resume, so use proper keywords that describe jobs, especially if you have a niche skill
Who should use a recruiter? –
Exec, C Level, VP, etc., or have 7+ years experience or specific niche skill, If you have Little experience (less than 5 yrs) or entry level, then no

Notes:
Working in a Newly Remote Environment
Managing Basic Expectations for Stakeholders - It is a new game. Be clear on the new rules and transparent on what to expect from each other.
* Pro-Active Transparency is Key - This is different. Here is how it will impact you. Here is what we are doing to mitigate negatives and manufacture efficiencies. ("Make lemonade.")
How to communicate needs and fast-track urgent matters, & make requests in a world likely without any more paper.
How to be present and proactively telegraph availability in a world where no one can see you, and also appreciate that stress levels (both work and personal) are higher and conversations may be more emotional.
More volume, a ton of change which everyone hates, more stress at home, give people room to vent.
Setting Ground Rules * Importance of understanding that the old way of doing business is over (micro-management is done) and they will need to adapt NOW to the new one, new rules and adaptability
Monitoring Work and Fostering a Positive Team Environment w/ regular face-time with staff. Do not skip this. Almost always video-conference, keep things as human as possible.
More crucial than ever to recognize good work and always be cognizant of the much heavier stress your staff is feeling.Crush negativity immediately if it appears, and work to keep things light often .
TO SUM UP: It is more important than ever to remember that your most important job is to manage your team effectively regardless of how much operational work needs to be done.

Franchise Business from A to Smash My Trash w/ Jon Ostenson
- BRT S01 EP41 11-15-2020
Things We Learned This Week:
Guest: Jon Ostenson w/ Franbridge Capital
https://franbridgecapital.com/
Jon discusses the Franchise industry on multiple levels; from being a broker, to purchasing a franchise, to investing and also the operation side of running your own. He also gives numerous examples of opportunities in franchising. How much does it cost, the buy in process, and realizing franchises are more than just food opps.
Franchising is an industry ripe for both active and passive investments, representing over $2 trillion in annual sales across dozens of sectors. Franchising continues to grow due to demographics, innovative new models, and the proposition for candidates to build businesses with an established brand, support system, and track record.
Franchises is Business in a Box, but you still need people and business skills. Franchises have a high survival rate (upwards of 90%) vs a Startup (5%).
Investing in franchises provides Franbridge Capital with clarity into the performance of other owners within a given company via the Item 19 section of the system’s Franchise Disclosure Documents. This allows FBC with good insights in predicting future returns. Additionally, candidates typically invest their own capital alongside FBC, providing added incentive for future success.
Jon Ostenson is the founder and investor in multiple start-ups, including several in the franchise space. Jon is affiliated with the FCC, partnering with 400 high growth franchise brands. Jon co-founded 10Xfive, which served as both a marketing agency, technology developer, and support provider for multiple franchise businesses. Jon previously served as the President of Services for ShelfGenie, a national franchise company. Jon began his career as a consultant with Accenture PLC, including a six-month stint in India. Jon is the author of “The Franchise Path” and is a frequent contributor to publications such as “The Franchise Journal” and “The Franchise Times”.
What Business Are You In? - McDonalds is a Real Estate Company
Replay Clip from 2/9/20, where Matt talks about the biggest franchise of all, and what their real business model is. McDonalds has built an business empire thru Real Estate, not burgers.
The Dollar Menu is designed to get customers in the door. McDonalds loses $ when people purchase from the dollar menu, it is a Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC). This is also called a ‘Loss Leader’, selling a product at a low cost to get customers. McDonalds then makes money when people buy more, and off return business.
McDonalds is one of the biggest Real Estate companies in the world. The stock is valued on the $37 Billion in Real Estate they own. They make money as a landlord, because the franchisee is their tenant.
The Founder – business movie biography of Ray Kroc. Kroc started as a milk shake salesmen to the McDonalds brothers in California, then went on to create the franchise system we know today. The first President of McDonalds Franchise (Harry Sonneborn) helped Kroc create the real estate model that the franchise was base on, and used to scale to a billion $ company. Internally McDonalds used the Brother’s Speedee Service System created pre-Kroc.
The Question ‘What Business Are You In?’ comes from business consultant Peter Drucker. Business owners need to understand what problem or service they really offer their customers.
Ie – Starbucks is in the Customer Experience business, not coffee, but the atmosphere of drinking the coffee
