Dressed In Overalls: Because Ideas Are Cheap

CAN'T MISS.  Intelligence meets execution.  I couldn't think of a better podcast guest that you have NOT heard of than Zach White, Founder of OACO.   As my "oldest friend", Zach has been someone I looked up to since I was 2 years old.  He has it all and he enjoys sharing his wisdom, his failures, his personal circumstances, and anything that might help you in your life journey. Oasis of Courage is Zach's coaching business which helps engineers become leaders and create career and life transformation, in a way only an engineer could have developed.  Learn more at oasisofcourage.com.

If you like big, audacious goals, then you need to tune in this conversation.

In our first episode in nearly 1 year, we're back with a wonderful conversation with successful serial entrepreneur Mark Cleveland.  As a founder of the Swiftwick apparel brand and Hobby Express retail stores, Mark's experience has taught him many lessons on bringing ideas to fruition.  We learn about his newest venture in Hytch Rewards where Mark is diving into ridesharing and how software + incentives can help solve traffic and congestion problems while reducing the emissions we put out as humans. 

We meet with Nashville, TN entrepreneur Dr. Todd Garrett (you better call him doctor!) to discuss what it takes to build a pharmacy, a DIFFERENT kind of pharmacy, and consequently selling it before he ever thought he would.
Todd gets candid with his experiences, struggles, conversations with his wife, and how his personality is prone to "work claustrophobia". 

Also, should Todd be the new co-host?  Leave a comment or email at [email protected] if you think he should or should not!

(Apologies for the audio quality, our mic did not do well in the echo-chamber we recorded in).

In our first episode, we break down the start-up experience with Elliot Sheen, co-founder of Bind Media in historical Bath, England.  Elliot gets comfortable and vulnerable in sharing about how his personal health issues were timed poorly with the founding of Bind Media, how the catalyst to going full-time into his agency was getting caught red-handed by his former boss, and some warnings about a like-minded co-founder.  Gear up for an insightful, inspirational conversation with one of the best founders out there.

Ideas are cheap. Execution is everything. Thomas Edison once said, "Opportunity is missed by many people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."

There are so many of us that get stuck in our ideas and never execute them into a reality. So, I've set out to make a podcast that would have informed, inspired, and perhaps entertained me when I was younger by chatting with individuals who have actually taken their ideas, put on their overalls, and forced them into fruition!

I'm so glad you're here. Let's enjoy this journey together, and hopefully learn a little while hearing great stories!

Don't ever be shy to offer me your thoughts, comments, and even criticism along the way. I can take it!  Enjoy!
