  • Levi Reed - Co-Founder Eunimart, Ex-Amaazon

    On this episode of the Jason Cavness Experience I talk to Levi Reed - Co-Founder Eunimart, Ex-Amazon We talk about the following and other subjects How he became interested in tech and startups Founder Institute Startup investing Eunimart Levi's Bio I graduated from Wells College in upstate NY, near the dairy farm where I grew up. Both of my parents were small business owners and I had a strong interest in the vein. After working in the wine industry in NY for a couple years and then in government, I studied for my MS in Communications at Ithaca College and started a marketing practice. That got me interested in startups and tech, and ultimately I decided to do an MBA at ESADE in Barcelona. I was fortunate enough to land an internship with Amazon in Luxembourg and then a full time offer after graduation, and in 2016 I moved to Seattle to start at Amazon. I was there for another 4.5 years, mostly leading product marketing teams across several businesses including Amazon Lending, Amazon Advertising, and Devices (Echo). I also held roles with the Retail business and Amazon Launchpad. I left to join one of the largest hearing care companies globally, to build and launch a customer-facing brand. Unfortunately that didn't work out (happy to go into why, it's not sensitive) and I left to join Eunimart as a late cofounder leading marketing, sales, and GTM in the US. Levi's Social Media Levi's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/levireed/ Levi's Email: [email protected] Company Website: https://www.eunimart.com/us Company Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eunimartltd/ Company YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmGtodAnLo8OeKHjgq6dBGQ Company Twitter: https://twitter.com/eunimartltd Levi's Gift "As Eunimart is growing our US presence, we're looking for customers who would be willing to share their experience using the platform to inform a case study. We're offering discounted implementation and service fees to the first five customers who choose to participate. Please contact [email protected] for more information." Levi's Advice I want to reiterate what I said before. I think it's really important to recognize your priorities and recognize your limits. I think it's important to think about limits. Limits are real, and they exist. But they're also typically malleable. As you're growing as a professional, if you're thinking about going into startups. I think it's always an exciting experience to find your limits and test them and then figure out a plan to expand your capacity in certain areas if you want to. I think it's a question of balancing reality with pragmatism with optimism. I'd say that's something that's pretty top of mind for me lately. As I'm finding, I'm testing my own limits and capacities in this new experience.

We will donate to a United Way approved association of their choice for $25. There's an opportunity for a greater donation. Then we also are currently offering between one and three hours of a free assessment, depending on which pillar of opportunity you're looking for, whether it's applications, infrastructure security. We are offering our time and services just to kind of give people a frame of mind whether it's about an insecure incident response plan. Whether it's about an application that they need help with, we're willing to offer that time. James' Advice I had a nice biblical quote that I can't recite from from scratch at this point in time. But it basically alluded to never be complacent when it comes to your personal professional work. There is what you do every day at work and then there's everything you do outside of work. Just don't be complacent. Always be pushing yourself, always drive yourself. But be patient because being impatient can also hinder your drive

Shari also hosts other great weekly zoom topics. Sharri's Advice I'm going to give you a little self soothing tool. When you're stressed out, this is something you could do anywhere. Take your dominant hand and put it firmly on your heart so that you feel your heartbeat. That hand is kind of the most grown up and that part of you is telling your fears, your worries, it's cool, don't worry. But from the inside, you feel that pressure and you can relax. Because it is a way to signal to your unconscious. The way you know your mom or your dad or someone who loved you may have loved would say, it's okay. You don't have to worry and it can calm you down really fast.

Jeff's Advice The last minute wisdom I would give to people and they might have already realized this during the pandemic is that no one knows what they're doing. Nobody knows, we're all just making it up as we go along. You think that you know someone that you think does know what they're doing? If you saw the behind the scenes, you'd realize they're as much of a mess as you are. I think the more we tell ourselves that the more we can empower ourselves to be like, being that no one knows what they're doing. I'm the expert of myself. So I am going to figure out what I want to do and I'm going to follow my convictions.
