From creating and selling multiple businesses to developing a revolutionary fashion technology company, entrepreneurship has been baked into Deanna Meador’s DNA since she was a little girl.

Deanna  is the Deputy Director at the Wond’ry, Vanderbilt University’s Innovation Center and the CEO of fashion technology company Couture Technologies. 

She began Couture Technologies, alongside her cofounder Dr. Marcelino Rodriguez-Cancio, to empower direct-to-consumer fashion and workwear apparel brands with virtual try on technology, 3D garment creation services, and enhanced data analytics designed to reduce returns and increase conversion rates. Couture Technologies is a National Science Foundation funded company that was recognized as one of the Top 9 tech startups in the world during the 2021 Olympics of Tech and the 2022 Most Innovative Apparel Sales Software Company.

Deanna is a successful tech entrepreneur and inventor that describes herself as never meeting a challenge she didn’t like. Her love of problem solving and the ability to develop solutions that impact the lives of people has driven each of her business ventures. She started her first company during graduate school and grew it to multiple physical locations in 2 states until it was acquired by a larger company. After selling this company, she spent 7 years conducting rigorous education and juvenile justice research for Vanderbilt’s Peabody Research Institute (PRI). During her time at PRI, she was the resident innovator and developed a paperless data collection system for collecting assessment and observational data in the field. This system has been featured in multiple articles and colloquia, including the Institute of Education Science’s showcase entitled, “Using Technology in Research”, and is now in use at other universities across the U.S., South Africa, Portugal, Australia and Sweden. In 2017, she joined 3 other inventors to develop Chalk Coaching, a tool for improving classroom experiences for preschool children through observation and data-driven coaching. The development of Chalk was funded by the National Science Foundation.

We are excited to welcome the first #RenaissanceMan guest to The Renaissance Podcast! Tyler Alkins is an entrepreneur, winemaker, Canadian-turned-Nashvillian, and founder of Love & Exile Wines. He has had an incredible career and founded multiple successful businesses. His story is full of resilience, grit, and passion. Don't miss this week's episode!

About Tyler:

With time running out until he was deported back to Canada, Tyler Alkins had to start a new business or be forced to leave the place he called home in Nashville, TN. So he decided to do what he always dreamed; make wine.

And though Tennessee is better known for whiskey, Tyler saw an opportunity to create a wine that was approachable in its taste, price, and presentation. So he recruited some of the most well-known winemakers from Italy and California to teach him processes perfected over centuries to create a wine that’s expertly crafted and perfectly chuggable.

The wine they create together is brought back to Nashville where it is finished and bottled or canned locally in a winery that Tyler and the small team built in an abandoned car garage less than a mile from downtown called Nashville Urban Winery.

Tired of witnessing talented women put their dreams on the backburner – or worse, completely lose their spark because they were so far in the trenches – Tiffany Napper launched the Upleveler Society.

A Nashville-based Holistic Business Coach and decade-strong entrepreneur, Tiffany is no stranger to the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. But with five successful ventures under her belt, she now spends most of her days helping female founders sidestep years of struggle to build sustainable empires that bring them abundance and joy.

Through coaching and community, the Upleveler Society helps gutsy dream chasers move from side hustle to full-time hustle, from five-figures to multi-six figures by creating a plan that is aligned with their heart and on a clear track for growth.

Not only that, but Uplevelers report having a greater sense of peace, waking up with more energy, and treating themselves with more compassion because they know their value and they are ready to leave their mark. Tiffany believes an abundantly rich life is about so much more than the amount of dollars in a bank account, so well-being is at the heart of the Upleveler Society.

Since launching her entertainment and wellness PR agency in 2011, she has worked with artists, global health companies, film makers, and musicians, including Grandmaster Flash and Elton John. She has run PR campaigns that stretch from Good Day New York to the LA Times and believes knowing how to tell a good story is at the heart of every success story.

In this week's episode with Tiffany, we discuss:

- Tiffany’s impressive starting career with Yamaha

- What it was like working with celebrities like John Legend, Elton John, Sarah McLachlan

- Her pivot to creative entrepreneurship

- Building and running a PR agency and a thriving team

- Her successful entrepreneurial stunt in clear handbags

- Tiffany's role in helping female founders sidestep years of struggle to build sustainable empires that bring them abundance and joy
