  • BE READY TO PIVOT AND ITERATE AT ANY POINT AS AN ENTREPRENEUR! | With Edgel Groves and Honor Belew | The Top Floor

    In this episode, we were fortunate to speak with Edgel Groves, CEO and Founder of PassPass, whose inspiring mission is to keep every business in business! The innovative idea for the business came from a need to scale his existing multi-media company. Thus, NashPass was created, which provides discounts to individual’s favorite places around town for a low monthly fee. Their lightbulb moment was realizing that local vendors loved the idea of creating a community of other local businesses and supporting each other through selling NashPass directly to their customers for a share of the revenue. This became a win-win-win at the pivotal moment of realizing they could help other businesses create a separate revenue stream through rebranding as PassPass, which is now available as an app. Check out passpass.com for more information.

    In this episode of the Denver Top Floor Podcast, Darren Kanthal sits down with Skylar Elisberg, CEO of Wishlist, to discuss the intentional difference between crafting a mantra versus a mission. Skylar explains why perks and benefits alone aren't enough to build a culture where employees want to stay and grow.
