Lemonade Stand Stories

Trevor is the founder and CEO of Nectar, an awards and recognition software for companies to keep their employees engaged and motivated. 

In this episode, Trevor discusses in deeper detail the trials that he had to overcome in order to build Nectar to where it is today. 

Preferring the term "Trail Blazer" over Entrepreneur, Trevor Larson is doing exactly that. He noticed a need for a path and he is leading the way.

A true lemonade stand story, he shares where he started, the way he felt that supercharged his ambition, and the steps he took along the way. 

To share one of his secrets, he stopped focusing on outbound sales so much and started leaning more towards inbound.  Check out the rest of Trevor's episode to hear the rest of his story and advice!

Ah man. Jono and Alan. Such a privilege chatting with these two. I have known Jono (Jonathan) for 2 decades and Alan almost around the same time. We have had so many memories together, making movies, hanging out, rooming at BYU together; it was a total blast. In 2020 Jono and Alan created the popular YouTube channel Cinema Therapy and it skyrocketed in a way they never thought possible. Their incredible wit and insight have turned the channel into a smashing success, while helping hundreds of thousands of people find healing. When mental health issues were at an all time high, Cinema Therapy brought a lot of humor and gladness into people's hearts. With Jono as the clinical therapist and Alan as the avid filmmaker, the two combined forces to create a beautiful empire. It's awesome to see them do their thing and I couldn't be more proud of some of my best friends having success like this. How we go through this podcast with our collective ADHD is completely beyond me, but the stories we shared has been incredible. Hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I enjoyed doing it!

Growing up in Hawaii, Alan learned very quickly that paradise didn't come cheap. Alan and his family always had a survival mentality. They made ends meet, but just barely. Moving around all the time, finding different jobs; this was the life Alan had known. But growing older, he became fascinated with how money actually worked. Understanding principles of saving and spending less than you make, Alan created a business educating people on the principles of growing your income, without having any proper college education on finance. As he kept practicing and learning, he grew his business to what it is today, stretching his platform across the United States. But despite his incredible success, Alan remains as humble and cool as ever. He defied all odds and created his own path. Seriously check out his work!

Cherstyn had no idea she would find herself in the non profit sector while working in Washington. She had no idea she would be so involved with helping victims of child sex trafficking find a voice and place in society after facing some of the epic horrors they have had to face. And yet, when that call came to her, she knew she had to start. She had to just go. And miracle after miracle lined up and her organization is bringing so much hope to so many. We talked about the need to share humor during such dark phases of life. Turns out it's an absolute vital part to the healing. Fair warning, this podcast gets pretty heavy with the sensitive topics we are discussing, but wow was it powerful. Hope you enjoy and get incredible information from Cherstyn's work.

Tami’s superpower is that she always knew the power of being unique.  Even as a kid, she knew that creating your own path was where you can find authenticity and power.  She created BeUtoFullness to help find their own unique formula for success and joy.  Her creative mind can never stop however, and recognizing the struggles that kids have faced dealing with their own emotions, she created InUpowers to help deal with the epic feelings they have inside themselves.  And it’s so simple and so deep! This animated book is a great resource for teachers to use when helping kids navigate the world of emotions. It’s been such a successful program that sex trafficking survivors have used it as means to thrive after facing such horrific experiences.  Her hope is to turn InUpowers into its own animated series.  It was such a joy to chat with Tami! Enjoy!

Mark Sanborn is an incredible guy. A successful entrepreneur, author, and public speaker, his book "The Fred Factor" has sold over 2 million copies. In it, he talks about his postal serviceman Fred who quietly went above and beyond to make sure his customers got their mail. Fred truly loved people and through his actions, showed his care and concern. It's not what job you do but how you do it. Mark spent a bit of time diving into his book and talked about how to do things genuinely and why you should strive inwardly to be a Fred in all of your interactions. It was awesome getting to know Mark and if you haven't checked out this book, definitely put it on your list!!

Ben and Chad Truman are just outstanding human beings. Period. Growing up in Nashville and seeing levels of success their dad has in the country music scene, they knew the importance of staying grounded despite any success they may have. We talked about the dangers of virality as artists and what placing our values could do there. We also talked about how our weaknesses can be used to benefit our art. Chad shared how he was a bit tone deaf and his ability to sing really came from his ability to turn notes into mathematical equations. Pretty amazing stuff! I really enjoyed getting to know both of them on this incredible level. Hope you enjoy the podcast!

Casey Elliott is one of those people that makes the world that much better of a place, simply by existing. He exudes coolness and kindness. I was shocked that our paths hadn't crossed before due to us roaming around similar circles. I was then even more shocked when I realized his dad is a good friend of mine! We laughed as we chatted about the many random and amazing coincidences that we both shared. Casey talked about the formation of their Gentleman Trio or Gentri, and the path of success that followed. We discussed how art can take a life of its own well after creation and how we need to be careful of the type of art we gift the world. Great times talking with this great man. Hope you enjoy the podcast!

The first time I chatted with Curtis, I was immediately aware of the light in his eyes. You can tell he operates his life with absolute grace. We laughed as we talked about his discovery of entrepreneurship and how that led him to many different ventures. His book, The Entrepreneur's paradox talks about the 16 different pitfalls you face as an entrepreneur. We chatted about proper goal setting and identifying what type of business you are involved in, whether you are seeking to create a lifestyle business, a business that will be acquired, or going for that IPO. We also chatted about summiting Kilimanjaro and how that completely changed his viewpoint on business. So much so, that after coming back a changed man, he completely rewrote his book! This podcast was amazing. So many incredible nuggets of truth! One truth being what happens when you change the question of "what if" to "what is". Great man and great podcast. Enjoy!
