March 05, 2021 #2054 What makes you “Backable”
I recently read the book written by today’s guest. It’s called Backable: The Surprising Truth Behind What Makes People Take a Chance on You.
I thought it was incredibly helpful because he gave clear steps for how to be “backable,” the type of person that people like, that they want to put their money or careers behind.
I’ve seen so many of these people here in San Francisco that have that “it quality.” We’ll talk about what that is and examples of how people use techniques to become it.
Suneel Gupta is the author; he’s also the co-founder of Rise which was acquired by One Medical.

March 01, 2021 #2052 Ray J – Nearly broke to $116 million earbud business
Ray J, the musician and TV star, wanted to be a tech entrepreneur like you.
He launched an electric bike, but it didn’t go as well as planned. “I wasn’t listening to anybody,” he says of that time. His finances suffered from unfruitful startup attempts.
Then he teamed up with Ray Lee, whose family was in the electrics business, and opened himself up to helpful advice.
Today, he makes RAYCON earbuds. Not only is the company generating real revenue, but it’s products are loved by both celebrities and YouTube tech reviewers.
Ray J and Ray Lee are the founders of Raycon, a wireless audio brand.

Tristan Pollock is the co-founder of Storefront, which allows vendors to find and book pop-up shops, showrooms, galleries, and other event venues.
