The DMV (Washington, DC | Maryland | Virginia) Business Show

Join us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The DMV Business Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Sevilla⁠⁠⁠ as we meet Dr. Anita Kulkarni, an award-winning board-certified plastic surgeon and Owner of DC Plastic Surgery Boutique, shares her inspiring story of pursuing her passion and building a private practice in Washington, DC. With a mission to create a safe and comfortable environment for women, particularly in the intimate field of plastic surgery, Dr. Kulkarni emphasizes the importance of personalized care and a welcoming space for her patients.
Dr. Kulkarni was born in New Jersey to Indian immigrant parents and spent part of her childhood in Seoul, Korea. She moved to the DMV area 12 years ago and has been a plastic surgeon in the region since then, including five years in a group practice in Bethesda. She started her own practice in 2018 with a vision to create a practice focused on women's care.
Dr. Kulkarni acknowledges that being a doctor does not automatically make one a good businessperson, and that running a business requires a different set of skills. She faced challenges such as finding out about new insurance requirements and feeling isolated as a business owner. However, she has learned to adapt and overcome these challenges, and has even started a networking group for women business owners, DC Female Business Owners, to connect with others who are going through similar experiences.
The growth of the group has been organic, driven by word-of-mouth and social media, and Dr. Kulkarni is committed to continuing to grow and evolve the group. With lessons learned from her own business experience, she is well-positioned to lead the group and inspire other women entrepreneurs in the DMV area. In an ever-changing industry, finding a niche market can be the key to success. We're going to explore the story of Dr. Kulkarni, who has built a thriving private practice catering specifically to women's needs. With her unique approach to plastic surgery, she has carved out a space where women feel safe, comfortable, and empowered. Join us as we delve into her journey, the challenges she faced, and the valuable lessons she learned along the way.

Join us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠The DMV Business Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Sevilla⁠⁠ as we showcase the inspiring journey of Ramon Tejada, the Co-Founder and CEO of Fresco, a commercial cleaning company, shared his life story and entrepreneurial journey on The DMV Business Show. The conversation highlights his immigrant journey, his experiences as an adult, and the growth of Fresco from a small startup to a successful commercial cleaning company.
Ramon was born in the Dominican Republic and moved to the US as an adult on a business administration scholarship. He spent six years in the DR before returning to the US, maintaining a connection to his culture. As a child, Ramon was an entrepreneur, building and creating things like toys and small farms. This entrepreneurial spirit continued into adulthood, as he enjoyed building and creating things in a digital sense.
Ramon studied agricultural business administration at a community college in Iowa, rather than following in the footsteps of agricultural technicians from his home country. He chose this major to better his living conditions for his family. Despite not speaking much English when he arrived in the US, Ramon was fortunate to have a host family in Iowa that helped him adjust.
After completing his degree, Ramon returned to the Dominican Republic and landed a job, which enabled him to help his family financially. He initially didn't think about returning to the US but was happy to have experienced life in America.
Ramon's journey took a new turn when he started Fresco, a commercial cleaning company, with a friend, Miguel.  Initially, the company served residential clients, primarily friends and family who referred them to other friends. This word-of-mouth marketing led to their first commercial account, which was with a company in Washington D.C. that still remains one of their clients after 18 years.
Ramon Tejada's entrepreneurial journey is a testament to his determination, resilience, and willingness to take risks. His story serves as a valuable lesson for entrepreneurs, emphasizing the importance of embracing cultural connections, identifying a niche, building relationships, and adapting to challenges.

Join us on ⁠⁠⁠The DMV Business Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Sevilla⁠ as we showcase the inspiring journey ofPatrick "Sarge" Avon, Owner ofSarge Athletics, I was struck by his passion for fitness and his unique approach to helping people improve their physical well-being. With two locations in Frederick, Maryland and Bethany Beach, Delaware, Sarge Athletics has become a go-to destination for youth athletes looking to get stronger and more confident, as well as adults seeking general fitness, competitive sports, or improved mobility and balance.
Sarge's own personal story is one of inspiration and resilience. Growing up in Upstate New York, he was naturally athletic and played sports as a kid. But it wasn't until he joined the Navy after high school that he discovered his true calling. Serving for five years, Sarge gained a sense of independence and adventure, while working in the medical field prepared him for a career in fitness. With his newfound skills in empathy, attention to detail, anatomy, and communication, Sarge was well-equipped to transition into the fitness industry.
Sarge's entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish the Sergeant's Program, which started with outdoor boot camp classes for men. The business took off quickly, with the client base growing from 5 to over 30 in just a few months. As the business scaled, Sarge faced the challenges of rapid growth, including competition and building a strong brand name. To overcome these obstacles, Sarge had to adapt quickly and learn to accommodate women who wanted to join the program. With limited business experience, Sarge's background in the Navy proved to be a valuable asset, as he learned to navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship.
One of the standout features of Sarge Athletics is their focus on adults aged 50 and above. This age group prioritizes mobility, independence, and strength over weight loss, and Sarge Athletics has developed exercises tailored to meet their unique needs. Interestingly, Sarge found that this age group can benefit from similar exercises used with high school and college athletes, but with modifications to accommodate their physical limitations.
Sarge chose the Bethany Beach location due to the area's demographic changes, with many young families and professionals seeking a slower-paced lifestyle. The location's vibrant and active community, with many residents prioritizing physical activity and wellness, made it an ideal spot for Sarge Athletics to expand its reach.
It is clear that Sarge Athletics is more than just a fitness business – it's a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about improving their physical well-being. With its unique approach to fitness and its focus on adults 50+, Sarge Athletics is a shining example of what happens when passion, adaptability, and a commitment to excellence come together. As we look to the future, it's exciting to see what new challenges and opportunities lie ahead for Sarge Athletics.

Join us on ⁠⁠⁠The DMV Business Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Sevilla⁠⁠⁠⁠ as we meet Mike Manatos, a 3rd generation native Washingtonian who has dedicated his life to public policy, government relations, and philanthropy. As the Executive Director of the Washington Oxi Day Foundation and President of Manatos & Manatos, a government relations public affairs firm, Mike has been involved in various initiatives that promote US-Greece relations, US-Cyprus relations, and religious freedom.
Born and raised in Bethesda, Maryland, Mike grew up in a family with a long history of working with the federal government. His father, a legendary figure in the government relations field, was a pioneer in promoting US-Greece relations, and Mike has followed in his footsteps. Mike's brothers have also pursued careers in politics and computer software, making family involvement in public service a strong tradition.
Mike graduated from college in 1990 and immediately joined his family's firm. He has since worked alongside his father and other brothers, including one who has also pursued a career in government relations. In addition to his professional work, Mike is passionate about philanthropy and has been involved in various efforts, including raising millions and granting over 200 wishes through his work with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
With time Mike has come to realize the importance of giving back to the community. He emphasizes that those who have been given a lot have a duty to give back, and he and his wife partner together on various charitable endeavors. Their children are also involved in these activities from a young age, and Mike hopes that they will learn by example and absorb the importance of giving back.
One of their children has even started her own charitable project, starting a Make-A-Wish foundation chapter at her school. Mike credits these experiences for making him a prouder parent and is grateful to have had the opportunity to raise his children in the same community where he grew up.
The Washington Oxi Day Foundation was started in 2012 during Greece's Great Depression. The foundation's primary role was to promote Greece in Washington and help the country survive the economic crisis. Mike and his organization worked to raise awareness and funds to support Greece's economy, and the foundation played a crucial role in promoting US-Greece relations.
Mike Manatos is a dedicated public servant and philanthropist who has followed in his family's footsteps. Through his work with his service on a number of non-profit boards and the Washington Oxi Day Foundation, Mike has made a significant impact on the community and has inspired his next generation to do the same. His legacy is a testament to the importance of giving back and the power of family involvement in public service.

Join us on ⁠⁠The DMV Business Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Sevilla⁠⁠⁠ as we meet ⁠Elizabeth (Liz) O'Donnell, the Founder and CEO of Aaliyah in Action, a non-profit organization providing bereavement support to families who have experienced baby loss shares her personal story and journey. As a former elementary teacher, Liz's life took a drastic turn after the stillbirth of her daughter, Aliyah.
Liz shares her experience of being pregnant with Aliyah and having a seemingly healthy pregnancy until she started feeling reduced fetal movement at 32 weeks. Despite being told that Aliyah had no heartbeat, the hospital was unable to find a cause for the stillbirth. It was only after sending the placental slides to a researcher at Yale that they discovered Aliyah's placenta was not functioning properly, causing her death. This traumatic experience led to a significant change in Liz's life, and she now advocates for better prenatal care and supports other parents who have experienced stillbirth.
Liz reflects on her experience with stillbirth and the emotional toll it took on her. She wishes she had known earlier that her baby's growth was abnormal and that more tests could have been done to detect the issue. She believes that the healthcare system prioritizes costs over saving lives, as the US is not willing to invest in costly NICU care. In contrast, other countries, such as Manchester, perform more tests, including measuring the placenta, which could have benefited her.
Liz is dedicated to preventing stillbirths and supporting families who have experienced loss. She is frustrated that measuring the placenta during an ultrasound takes only 2 seconds, but insurance codes prevent it from being a routine practice. Liz has found solace in her work as a teacher and through therapy, but she acknowledges that navigating her daily life without her daughter is a lifelong journey.
Liz O'Donnell's personal story is a powerful reminder of the importance of advocacy and support for families who have experienced baby loss. Her work with Aaliyah in Action is a testament to her dedication to preventing stillbirths and supporting those who have gone through this traumatic experience.

Join us on ⁠⁠⁠The DMV Business Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Sevilla⁠ as we showcase the inspiring journey of Scott Parker. Who has built a reputation for himself as a savvy businessman in the DMV (Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia) area with a knack for identifying opportunities and turning them into successful ventures. From his humble beginnings as a bar owner to his current ownership of multiple brands and companies, Scott's journey is a testament to the power of hard work, perseverance, and strategic decision-making.
One of the key factors that contributed to Scott's success is his ability to connect with customers. He emphasizes the importance of being present and building relationships with patrons, which helped him establish a loyal following and build his reputation. This approach has been particularly effective in the service industry, where customer satisfaction is paramount.

For instance, Scott's dog daycare business, Playful Pack, has gained a loyal following in the DMV area. By providing a unique and welcoming experience for pet owners, Scott has built a reputation as a trusted and caring entrepreneur. Similarly, his barber shops, Bearded Goat Barber, have become go-to destinations for men seeking a high-quality haircut and a relaxed atmosphere.
Scott has also learned the importance of financial discipline and resourcefulness. When he started out, he reinvested his own capital and used bank loans to fund his businesses. He has also worked with investors, but recognizes that this approach can be limiting. By bootstraping his businesses, Scott has maintained control and flexibility, allowing him to adapt to changing market conditions and make swift decisions.

However, Scott has also experienced his fair share of risk and failure. He notes that it's crucial to build a larger nest egg and save for the future, as even successful entrepreneurs can face uncertainty and downturns. Scott's advice to young entrepreneurs is to focus on building a stable and sustainable business, using a combination of their own capital, bank loans, and investors.
When asked if he would start over from scratch, Scott emphasizes the importance of having a solid foundation and a safety net in place. He advises young entrepreneurs to consider buying an established small business, as it can be a lower-risk and more sustainable option. Scott also recommends exploring service-based industries like HVAC, plumbing, or landscaping, which often have lower overhead costs and a proven track record of profitability.
Scott's journey is a testament to the power of resilience and adaptability. Despite facing setbacks and failures, he has continued to evolve and adjust his approach, ultimately building a thriving business empire. By sharing his experiences and insights, Scott hopes to inspire and inform the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to scale your business, Scott's experiences and lessons learned can help you to stay focused, adapt to changing market conditions, and achieve your goals.

In this week's episode of The DMV Business Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Sevilla we have ⁠McKeever (Mac) Conwell,II⁠, Founder and Managing Partner at ⁠RareBreed Ventures⁠ out of Baltimore, Maryland!  He is from Baltimore and played sports growing up but was really good at math and science, played football and was in the robotics team and engineering club.  Mac's entrepreneurial journey started in 2010 when he and two of his best friends decided to start a company.  In 2012 it started to take off, they got into two accelerators and a few years later sold the IP of the technology to a Fortune 100 company.  He immediately founded a second company right after, that ultimately failed and shares what he learned from that experience and the difference between his first and second startup.  You are always learning, you either win or you learn.   It is not easy being an entrepreneur and he mentions how hard it is, it's a long game and it's a hard game to play.  He started the first and only state backed pre-seed fund for women and minorities in the country here in Maryland called Builder Fund at TEDCO.  Mac provides great valuable advice to anyone interested in investing in the venture world today, and shares how he sources his deal flow and that the most important thing to him is creating an outsize impact!
