Carolyn Lowe, ROI Swift

– The Sharkpreneur podcast with Seth Greene Episode 419 Carolyn Lowe

Carolyn Lowe founded ROI Swift in 2015 to help emerging consumer brands get expert help in Amazon, Paid Ads for Facebook/Instagram, and Paid Search. So many smaller businesses were being taken advantage of by paying agencies big dollars for no results, and Carolyn thought that was wrong. Her team grew an apparel and footwear company from $0- 12M in 18 months through paid Facebook and Instagram ads. Carolyn’s goal is to help 1000 brands grow profitably. So far, they have helped 102, so she is 898 away from retirement!

Carolyn once won $10,000 on the radio and wished she saved it to invest in Google or Amazon two decades later. After leaving Dell, she founded ROI Swift to follow her passion of helping emerging businesses grow. She is the mother of two children and has her pilot’s license, though no time to actually fly anymore.

Garrett Gunderson, Wealth Factory

– The Sharkpreneur podcast with Seth Greene Episode 411 Garrett Gunderson

Garrett Gunderson is Founder and Chief Wealth Architect of Wealth Factory, a lifelong entrepreneur, keynote speaker and a New York Times best-selling author of Killing Sacred Cows: Overcoming the Financial Myths That Are Destroying Your Prosperity. He has dedicated his life to educate and serve hard-working, honest business owners.

Garrett comes from a 4th generation coal mining family, raised in rural Utah. His great-grandfather left Sangiovese, Italy to escape government corruption and excessive taxation.

His company, Wealth Factory, helps self-made business owners and entrepreneurs who understand hard work — but who haven't been given the proper financial tools to build lasting wealth. Because even though Garrett's great-grandfather understood the value of hard work, he never got to enjoy it. And without proper structures, hard work is like eating soup with a fork. You keep busy but stay hungry.
