On episode 18 of Sound BITES we talk with Chris Kinner, founder of Osprey Equity.

Chris walks us through his journey from cognitive neuroscience, hedge funds, bicycles (fun story), running e-commerce business units and starting his own search fund, Osprey Equity. What’s a search fund? Glad you asked, Chris takes us through it with obvious passion for his new entrepreneurial journey! Thanks for chatting Chris.

On episode 17 of Sound BITES we sit down with Adam Constantine, CEO of ACE Creatives. Adam is a people leader, world traveler, and magnetic storyteller. We walk through his journey from professional athlete to entrepreneur leveraging his unique ability to tell engaging stories. We talk about leadership, transitioning from ‘player’ to ‘coach’ and how to manage life changes. We talk about philosophy and what happens when “who you are” changes. It was an amazing story with great advice and a lot of laughs along the way.

On episode 16 of Sound BITES we got the opportunity to talk with Dan Dahlen, Professor at Ohio University and founder of Dahlen Communications. Dan has helped shape iconic brands (Ahem, Wendy’s and Subway) and was influential in some of the most well-known marketing campaigns to-date. It was fascinating to hear his story that spans the agency side, client side, and as a professor and entrepreneur. If we had 3 hours to talk it wouldn't be long enough. Thank you, Dan!

On episode 15 of Sound BITES we talk with Jason Garey, one of the founders of Meridian Financial. Jason walks us through his journey from professional soccer player with the Columbus Crew to running a wealth management firm, building trust with clients and leading in a way that propagates that trust through his team. He tells us how one seemingly small interaction 15 years ago (signing an autograph after a loss) ended up changing the trajectory of his life.

This is a special episode of Sound BITES. We sit down with Andrea Taber. Not only friend and collaborator, but twin sister to part of the nanaochomp team. Andrea might describe herself as an accidental entrepreneur, but we get to unpack her journey that brought her from working at an agency to helping run a strategic creative studio. Andrea walks us through content creation, delivering value for clients, creative concepting for maximum impact, and the decision making that goes into growing a business. A few well placed puns and 45 minutes later we have a great episode with maybe just a bit too much laughing.

This week on Sound BITES we’re doing something a little different. We always ask our guests “What advice would you give a younger version of you, maybe at 18 or 25 years old?” But that section is at the end, in fact it’s the last question. Since we always get good answers and they have been different every time, we decided to stitch a few of them together for this bite-sized episode. Hope y’all enjoy. 

How would you answer that question? We would love to hear your answer.

Sometimes a single conversation can change your entire path. On our 10th episode of Sound Bites we chatted with Liz Clarke, Technical Marketing Manager and Food Scientist at Nitta Gelatin about just that. Liz talks about her path from being curious about food and the supply chain to diving head first into food science and marketing, with conversational pit stops in fermenting, Japanese fashion trends and account based marketing.
