Your Next Stop with Juliet Hahn

As President, CEO, and Founder of Nasoni, Steve Waddell has an innovative and entrepreneurial background with over 39 years of experience in business, engineering, leadership, and management. From building nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines with Newport News Shipbuilding to contributing heavily to the growth of Reed Integration, Inc, a small business (owned by his wife) into a multi-million-dollar government consulting business, he has developed extensive skills in leading and managing people while managing risk, budget, schedule, and stakeholder expectations.

His desire to make a bigger impact on people's lives as well as the environment led him to develop an innovative bathroom faucet that saves water while improving functionality. Today, the resulting product, Nasoni's award-winning fountain faucet, is an industry-leading bathroom faucet known for product innovation and customer satisfaction. And this past June, he received a Phase I SBIR Grant from the National Institutes of Health for $259,015 to develop a smart, sensor fountain faucet to enable those living with spinal cord injury to live more independently.

A seasoned entrepreneur, he is focused on building key investor relationships and disrupting a highly competitive market. His strong work ethic, results-driven nature, and unique ability to identify improvement opportunities and transform them into functional solutions allow him to accomplish even the most aggressive objectives.

In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. How did Steve Waddell come up with the idea for Nasoni, an award-winning fountain faucet?
2. How has Nasoni helped people with disabilities, and how does it save water?
3. What is the process that Steve Waddell went through to bring his idea to fruition?

Remarkable Quote:

"If the big faucet companies weren't going to do anything about it, I said, I'm going to try to fix it."

Remarkable Quotes

"If I could offer advice to rookie girlfriends coming straight out of college - it would be to value women you meet along the way, because we all get it! Early on, you truly realize the value of the friendships and connections, above all."

"Wyatt is not on social media - but I'm all over it. I engage a lot with Browns fans and just love the back and forth and getting to know Browns fans from all over. Last year, I put out a tweet and said, 'Hey guys, I would love to send out Christmas Cards - DM your address if you want one.' I sent out over 1000 cards! It felt so good and I still have people yell out, 'Thank you for the Christmas Card!'"

"Wyatt is known for his Pancake Blocks and this year we teamed up with Elk and Elk to create the Block Hunger Campaign in support of St. Augustine Hunger Center. Every game Wyatt makes a Pancake Block - Elk and Elk will donate $770! Plus $77 for every point scored. I'm so grateful that we are in a place in Wyatt's career where we can impact our community and give back. We are also planning a Thanksgiving event around the campaign."

Remarkable Quote:

"I grew up seeing my mom take care of herself. But also, I was always fed, my house was always clean, and my dad was always happy. So to see that she was able to do that and still take time for herself, I wanted women in this world and in this Western world to also feel that as a new mom."

Remarkable Quotes

"The truth is people don't just change jobs for the hell of it. Something major is going on and I wanted to know the story of what you were going through. And that's how I learned connection. There's a connection that we have to every single human being."

Remarkable Quotes

"To all current NFL spouses, I would like to share that OTF is a true sisterhood. We are here for you and want to help you navigate through your time in the league and beyond. The NFL is a circle and there is no end to it. There are so many phases - your rookie season, veteran years, transitioning out and life after the game. As you experience each - I promise you - you will find a friend or mentor in Off The Field that will help you along the way. That's what we do."

"The whole purpose of the fashion show is about community. It is to impact community. To find those non-profits, charities and initiatives that are important to that community and leave our mark. Like we did with the HollyRod Foundation in Santa Monica - raising over 75K for Parkinson's Disease and Autism. We have an entire committee devoted to choosing who we impact. We're already out there in Arizona finding those charities. So, when Off The Field leaves Super Bowl LVII - we will again leave our mark. We will again showcase what it looks and feels like when you do for others. To quote Karen Lott, "there's a lot of beautiful depth in the NFL," and that comes from a service heart. I love that.

Jonathan Goldhill is a masterful business coach and personal strategist specializing in guiding next-generation leaders of family businesses to scale up their business as they take control over the leadership and ownership of the family business. Jonathan left New York for California at age 20 after his family's large, privately-held men's apparel manufacturing company—started by his great-grandfather—sold to a conglomerate in its third generation of family ownership. Within ten years, Jonathan had established himself as the go-to expert for entrepreneurs looking to find their version of freedom. Today, Jonathan brings thirty years of experience to his clients advising, coaching, consulting, training, and guiding entrepreneurial and family businesses.
