      <title>Troy Arntsen | Crafting a Luxury Candle Brand with Voluspa</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Troy Arntsen, co-founder and president of Voluspa, transformed a simple idea into a global luxury candle brand renowned for its exquisite scents and impeccable quality. Hailing from Minnesota, Troy was a self-described "daydreamer" who defied expectations when he traded a promising engineering career for the world of essential oils. His decision, met with initial doubts from his family, was fueled by an unshakable entrepreneurial spirit.</p><p>In 1999, armed with only a few thousand dollars and the unwavering support of his partner, Troy relocated to Southern California with a dream to create Voluspa. What began as a humble kitchen operation—where late-night candle pouring was the norm—evolved into a global brand, with Voluspa candles now sold in over 80 countries. The company’s success stems from its commitment to using premium, natural ingredients and a dedication to elegant design, setting it apart in a market saturated with generic offerings.</p><p>Troy’s engineering background proved invaluable as he developed Voluspa’s signature coconut wax blend, a unique innovation that remains central to the brand's identity. Over the past 25 years, he navigated the complexities of scaling a business, from building a team to mastering the e-commerce landscape, all while staying devoted to his family.</p><p>Today, Voluspa is a leader in luxury home fragrances, with Troy still passionately steering the ship. His journey from a small-town Minnesota dreamer to a successful entrepreneur is a powerful testament to the importance of pursuing one's passions, upholding core values, and building a business with integrity and perseverance.</p><p>*</p><p>The Founder Hour is brought to you by Outer. Outer makes the world’s most beautiful, comfortable, innovative, and high-quality outdoor furniture - ALL from sustainable materials - and is the ONLY outdoor furniture with a patented built-in cover to make protecting it effortless.

At 14, Taylor signed with IMG Models and began her whirlwind journey in the fashion industry. With her mother by her side, she navigated the complexities of the modeling world, learning to balance work and personal growth.

As Taylor&apos;s modeling career soared, she became a familiar face in major fashion shows and campaigns. Her work with Victoria&apos;s Secret became a significant part of her journey, participating in their iconic fashion shows and growing alongside the brand as it evolved over the years.

Throughout her modeling career, Taylor found a constant companion in her dog, Tate. This Labradoodle became more than just a pet; he was her soulmate and teacher, showing her the meaning of unconditional love and responsibility. Tate accompanied her to photoshoots in New York, becoming a beloved mascot in the fashion world.

Tragically, Tate&apos;s battle with lymphoma opened Taylor&apos;s eyes to the gaps in the pet care industry. This experience inspired her to create Tate &amp; Taylor, a company aimed at revolutionizing the pet space. Through this venture, Taylor seeks to blend her experiences in fashion and social media with her passion for pets, creating a platform that offers curated products, educational content, and a supportive community for pet owners.

Today, Taylor continues to balance her successful modeling career with her entrepreneurial pursuits. She&apos;s set to return to the Victoria&apos;s Secret runway later this year, while also working tirelessly to grow Tate &amp; Taylor.

      <title>Joe Gebbia | The Creative Force Behind Airbnb and Samara</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Joe Gebbia's journey began in Georgia, where his early interest in sports led him to work as a ball boy for the Atlanta Hawks. However, his true passion lay in art, earning him the nickname "art guy" in school as he spent countless hours drawing from comic books. This passion led him to the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where he discovered industrial design and the work of Charles and Ray Eames. A pivotal moment came when a professor doubted his art project, but Joe secured school funding and proved the professor wrong, showcasing his early entrepreneurial spirit.</p><p>At RISD, Joe met Brian Chesky, and he felt an instant connection, believing they would create something significant together. After graduation, Joe moved to San Francisco and convinced Brian to join him, leading to the creation of Airbnb. Faced with skepticism and rejection from investors and law firms, Joe drew on his art background to reframe challenges as opportunities. This resilience paid off as Airbnb became a global phenomenon, changing how people travel and connect.</p><p>Joe's journey at Airbnb taught him invaluable leadership lessons and underscored the importance of creativity and innovation. His artistic sensibility helped him approach problems with a fresh perspective, leading to the creation of Samara, a venture focused on reimagining home design. After Airbnb went public, Joe branched Samara out as a separate company, recognizing the potential in the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) space.</p><p>Beyond Airbnb, Joe relocated to Austin, Texas, becoming a minority owner of the San Antonio Spurs and aligning his entrepreneurial pursuits with his passion for sports. Committed to making a positive impact, Joe is passionate about causes such as homelessness and environmental sustainability. He also helped establish the Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity, reflecting his commitment to fostering creativity and innovation.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Michelle Wahler is an entrepreneur, business leader and mother. In 2005, she co-founded the active lifestyle company Beyond Yoga, where as CEO, she built the product and brand from the ground up.

Michelle built a female-focused organization with an unwavering commitment to inclusivity, diversity and empowerment among both employees and customers. She skillfully navigated negotiations and led her team through the brand’s acquisition by Levi Strauss & Co. in 2021. Post-acquisition, she continued her role as CEO of Beyond Yoga and joined the Executive Leadership Team of Levi Strauss.</p><p>Michelle was awarded Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young in 2021 and as a DEIA Visionary by the LA Times in 2023.</p><p>Michelle is originally from Maryland and began her career while living in New York City.

      <title>Max Levchin | Co-Founder of PayPal and Affirm</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of The Founder Hour, we have an insightful conversation with Max Levchin, a true trailblazer in the tech world. Max’s journey began in Ukraine, where he grew up in a family of scientists who instilled in him a deep respect for knowledge and discovery. After his family relocated to Crimea to escape the fallout from the Chernobyl disaster, Max discovered his passion for programming at a young age. With no computer at his disposal, he began teaching himself to code by writing programs on paper.</p><p>In 1991, Max’s family moved to the U.S., settling in Chicago. It was here that he found his footing at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, a pivotal moment that set the stage for his future success. Immersed in the early internet scene, Max’s path eventually led him to Silicon Valley, where a chance meeting with Peter Thiel at Stanford’s lecture halls sparked the creation of what would become PayPal. Initially conceived as a secure way to store and transfer encrypted data, PayPal evolved into a groundbreaking online payment system that transformed the way we conduct financial transactions.</p><p>Max takes us through the early days of PayPal, sharing stories of tackling complex challenges like document encryption and fraud prevention. But his entrepreneurial journey didn’t stop there. He went on to found Slide, and later Affirm, a company dedicated to providing honest financial products that align with consumers' best interests. Throughout the conversation, Max discusses his guiding philosophy of HVF—hard, valuable, and fun—and how it shapes his approach to building companies that aim to make a positive impact on the world.</p><p>We also explore Max’s thoughts on the future of technology, exploring AI's potential, the evolving landscape of fintech, and the importance of aligning financial interests with customers. Tune in to uncover the story of an engineer at heart, a visionary leader, and a man who continues to shape the future of finance and technology.</p><p>***</p><p>The Founder Hour is brought to you by Outer. Outer makes the world’s most beautiful, comfortable, innovative, and high-quality outdoor furniture - ALL from sustainable materials - and is the ONLY outdoor furniture with a patented built-in cover to make protecting it effortless.

      <title>Joe Kudla | Innovating Athletic Apparel with Vuori</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Joe Kudla is the visionary founder and CEO of Vuori (pronounced VEE-YOUR-EE), a brand that's redefining activewear. Joe's path to success is anything but ordinary, including a career in fashion and modeling that took him to the fashion capitals of Italy and also, accounting.</p><p>However, his entrepreneurial spirit led him back to the U.S., where he faced the challenges of launching his own business ventures, including two failed clothing businesses. Interestingly, the second one was Vuori, but not the Vuori we know today.</p><p>In this episode, Joe shares a fascinating story about a random encounter with a lady who predicted his future life and business success with uncanny accuracy. This bizarre yet prophetic moment set the stage for Joe's next steps.</p><p>Around that time, Joe took up yoga. When he developed a passion for it, he saw a gap in the market for high-quality, versatile men's activewear that seamlessly transitions from workouts to casual wear. This insight catalyzed Vuori, a brand known for its premium, innovative apparel embodying the active California lifestyle.</p><p>Joe talks about the significant milestones in Vuori's growth, including a $45 million investment from Norwest Venture Partners in 2019 and a staggering $400 million investment led by Softbank in 2021, which catapulted the company's valuation to $4 billion.</p><p>Beyond the numbers, Joe delves into his core values of clarity, well-being, and the power of the mind, emphasizing the importance of community and how Vuori aims to bring people together.

She later opened Azami Sushi Café, gaining fame for her omakase menu.

At n/naka, Nakayama creates exquisite, seasonally-inspired dishes, making it one of L.A.’s toughest reservations. The restaurant has been on the Los Angeles Times’ “101 Best Restaurants” list annually since 2013 and has garnered widespread media attention. Nakayama was a James Beard Foundation Award finalist for Outstanding Chef in 2023.

Sustainability is key at n/naka, with 70% of ingredients sourced locally. Nakayama’s kaiseki philosophy highlights natural flavors and seasonal purity. During the pandemic, Nakayama and her wife, Carole Iida-Nakayama, launched n/soto in West Adams, starting as a takeout restaurant and later becoming an izakaya-inspired eatery.

      <itunes:summary>Inspired by frequent trips to the Sierra Nevada Mountain range, Ken Grossman founded Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. in 1980 and today it remains family-owned and operated. What started as a homebrewing hobby eventually grew into a well-honed craft, and later, one of the largest independent breweries in the U.S.

Ken built the first brewhouse by hand in Chico, California after scouring salvage yards and defunct dairies to find the tanks, pipes, and valves he needed. The original brewhouse, which still exists today, first brewed a stout but was quickly followed by the Pale Ale that would change the course of American craft brewing and inspire countless brewers to explore the curiosities of hop-forward beers.

Today, Sierra Nevada is highly regarded for using only the finest quality ingredients and has set the standard for craft brewers worldwide with innovations in the brewhouse and in its sustainability efforts. The pioneering spirit that launched Sierra Nevada now spans both coasts with breweries in Chico, California and Mills River, North Carolina. Sierra Nevada is famous for its extensive line of beers including Pale Ale, Hazy Little Thing®, Torpedo® and a host of seasonal, specialty and limited release beers.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Marc Lore is a serial entrepreneur and self-made billionaire renowned for his innovative ventures in e-commerce. From an early age, he harbored a passion for growth and risk-taking, wanting to be a farmer when he was 4 years old. While not a farmer in the traditional sense, Marc's entrepreneurial journey mirrors the same principles of cultivating and nurturing ideas into successful enterprises.</p><p>Marc has founded and sold several companies, notably Jet.com, which was acquired by Walmart for $3.3 billion in 2016, and Diapers.com/Quidsi, acquired by Amazon in 2011 for $550 million. In 2021, he founded Telosa, a proposed $400 billion futuristic city he envisions to be a model for urban living with a focus on innovation, sustainability, and quality of life. In the same year, he also launched Wonder, recently raising $700 million to build curated food halls offering a diverse selection of top chefs and restaurants nationwide.</p><p>Marc's approach to entrepreneurship emphasizes building mission-driven cultures, prioritizing customer value, assembling exceptional teams, and empowering them to achieve ambitious goals swiftly. His evolution from "mercenary" to "missionary" reflects his transition from pure profit-driven ventures to a deeper commitment to fostering startup ecosystems and guiding fellow founders through the challenging startup landscape.</p><p>Marc is also the owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx basketball franchises, along with partner Alex Rodriguez. Driven by a desire to push boundaries and support the next generation of entrepreneurs, he continues to inspire and empower others with his wealth of experience and strategic insights into building successful businesses.</p><p>***</p><p>CHA-CHING!

Beyond his corporate ventures, Scott has been deeply involved in philanthropic and educational initiatives. He co-founded Curriki, an online platform providing free educational resources to students and educators worldwide.

As Chairman Emeritus of LittleHorse, Scott continues to be engaged in the tech ecosystem, offering guidance and support to emerging companies.

Despite initial skepticism, Curt’s persistence and vision propelled Dippin&apos; Dots to success, earning it a place as a beloved staple at theme parks, stadiums, and malls globally.

With his entrepreneurial spirit and determination, he continues to inspire aspiring inventors and entrepreneurs alike, proving that with creativity and perseverance, even the most unconventional ideas can become a sweet success.

In 2016, after his time at Dippin’ Dots, Curt started a new company called 40 Below. Using the same freezing process as Dippin’ Dots, 40 Below takes classic food and beverage items and elevates them into unique, novelty snacks using cryogenic technology. Brands include frozen coffees, teas, whey proteins, as well as, margarita, strawberry daiquiri, and piña colada mixers.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Jonathan Neman is the Co-Founder & CEO of Sweetgreen, the mission-driven restaurant brand that serves healthy food at scale. Jonathan and his co-founders and fellow Georgetown classmates Nathaniel Ru and Nicolas Jammet started Sweetgreen in 2007, opening their first location in Georgetown, DC, just three months out of college. The trio were disappointed with campus food options. Their vision is to be as ubiquitous as traditional fast food, but far more transparent and honest.</p><p>Sweetgreen raised its initial $375,000 of startup funding from investors including the three founders' parents, Joe Bastianich, Seth Goldman, and Washington's Latino Economic Development Center. In 2013, it accepted a $22 million investment from Revolution Growth, a venture capital fund founded by Steve Case.</p><p>Sweetgreen's corporate headquarters moved to the Los Angeles area from Washington, D.C. in 2016. As of September 2023, it had 221 stores in operation in 18 states and the District of Columbia.</p><p>Tune in to the episode to learn about Jonathan Neman's story and how it led to Sweetgreen.</p><p>*</p><p>CHA-CHING!

What began as a small copy shop in Isla Vista, California, grew into a global phenomenon with over 1,000 locations worldwide before being acquired by FedEx for $2.4 billion in 2004.

Throughout our conversation, we&apos;ll delve into the fascinating details of Paul&apos;s incredible journey. From his early days printing term papers for college students to navigating the challenges of scaling a business, Paul&apos;s insights are invaluable. He&apos;s not only a successful businessman but also a college professor and a passionate advocate for education and philanthropy, founding the Orfalea Foundation to support children and families in need.

The biggest fortunes aren’t made on Wall Street. They’re made way before startups hit the stock market. Consider Mike Walsh, a name just like any of ours who invested $5,000 into Uber. And that investment money? It grew to a staggering $24,827,400!

      <itunes:summary>Anne Wojcicki is an innovative biologist and the co-founder and CEO of personal genomics company 23andMe.

In 2006, Anne saw a need for creating a way to generate more personalized information so that commercial and academic researchers could better understand and develop new drugs and diagnostics. The result was 23andMe, which provides genetic testing for individuals curious about their ancestry and genetic makeup.

It was named &quot;Invention of the Year&quot; by Time Magazine in 2008, and in 2013, The Fast Company named Anne “The Most Daring CEO.”

We spoke with Anne all about her upbringing and the story of how 23andMe came to be.

      <title>Roham Gharegozlou | How Dapper Labs Pioneered the NFT Movement</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>If you’ve been on Twitter or read any news about the world of crypto in the last 6 months, you’ve probably heard of NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. At a basic level, an NFT is a digital asset that links ownership to unique physical or digital items, such as works of art, real estate, in-game items, music, or videos. Some of the most popular NFT projects include CryptoPunks, Art Blocks, Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoKitties, with more and more launching every day.</p><p>In this episode, we sit down with Roham Gharegozlou. He’s the founder and CEO of Dapper Labs, the team behind CryptoKitties, Cheese Wizards, NBA Top Shot, Flow Blockchain, and more, and an early pioneer of the NFT movement. Formed in February 2018, Dapper Labs was spun out of Axiom Zen, a venture studio that Roham launched, to bring the benefits of decentralization to the first billion consumers through the power of play, fairness and true ownership. The company recently raised a funding round of $250 million at a $7.6 billion valuation.</p><p>We covered a ton of topics including Roham’s upbringing and early career, how he fell into crypto and NFTs, why he created CryptoKitties, his vision for the future, and much more.</p><p>SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER & STAY UPDATED > http://bit.ly/tfh-newsletter</p><p>FOLLOW TFH ON INSTAGRAM > http://www.instagram.com/thefounderhour</p><p>FOLLOW TFH ON TWITTER > http://www.twitter.com/thefounderhour</p><p>INTERESTED IN BECOMING A SPONSOR?

      <itunes:subtitle>David Rubenstein is the co-founder and co-Executive Chairman of The Carlyle Group, one of the world’s largest and most successful private investment firms with over $217 billion of assets under management, which he started in 1987. 

In this episode, we spoke with David about his humble beginnings growing up in Baltimore, what it was like working at the White House during the Carter Administration, how he started The Carlyle Group with zero investing experience, his philosophies on life and thoughts on leadership, being one of the original signers of The Giving Pledge and the impact he hopes it can make, his unique approach to fundraising, and some of the biggest business mistakes he’s made throughout the years.

His new book, “How To Lead”, where he shares his interviews with world leaders and CEOs such as Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, and many others is available now everywhere books are found.

It’s one of our personal favorite books that we’ve read in a very long time and we wanted to dive deep into some of the concepts and stories Jim shares in the book, so we definitely recommend picking up a copy if you enjoy this conversation.

We talked about everything from Jim’s personal story and how being an outcast at a young age helped him as an entrepreneur, how he got into glass blowing and eventually opened up his own studio which he still runs today, hiring Jack Dorsey as an intern at his first company and how their relationship has evolved, how losing a sale at his studio gave him the idea for Square, the evolution of the word “entrepreneur” and what it truly means, experience vs. naïveté when it comes to innovation, how he literally built the Square reader and went against Apple’s rule and regulations, the meeting with Steve Jobs that never happened, how they went up against Amazon and won, managing fear and staying motivated, and what his definition of success is.

In this episode, we talk to Chip about his upbringing and younger years as a troubled student in school, how he was able to make $750,000 at 19 years old working on the Alaska pipeline, what motivated him to have his own business by age 30, his advice for entrepreneurs and anyone who wants to enjoy long-term success, his entrepreneurial journey and what sparked the idea for Lululemon, the evolution of women’s clothing since the 1980s and why he thinks Lululemon was successful, his feelings about the term “athleisure,” how Lululemon gained a cult-like following, why he stepped down as CEO in 2005, what he would’ve done differently had he stayed with the company, and much more.

Chip also shares what he feels is the biggest opportunity in the next 5-10 years and what he’s been up to since leaving Lululemon.

      <itunes:summary>Glenn Sanford is the founder of eXp Realty, CEO of eXp World Holdings, Inc. and Chief Strategy Officer for VirBELA. After being involved with a number of internet start-ups in the 1990s and early 2000s, including a stint at AOL, Glenn started a highly successful real estate career in 2002. In 2006, his fourth full year in the business, Glenn and his team closed over $60,000,000 in real estate almost entirely from online lead generation and was ranked as one of the top 50 teams nationally with Keller Williams. After the downturn in 2008, he and his team developed the first cloud-based brokerage model that uses a 3D avatar-based online office to collaborate and communicate while abandoning the physical bricks and mortar infrastructure normally associated with real estate brokerage. In the last 9 years, since launching with 25 agents, eXp Realty has grown to nearly 30,000 agents in all 50 states and beyond.

In this episode, we chat with Glenn about his upbringing and how he fell in love with technology at an early age, the various jobs he held before starting eXp Realty, what made him a successful real estate agent and salesperson, what inspired him to become an entrepreneur, his thoughts on the current residential real estate market and where he sees it going post-Covid-19, his experience as a public company CEO, and pioneering the future of real estate as well as virtually-distributed work with VirBELA.

In this episode, we discuss Simon’s upbringing and experience in the PR world working with countless brands and celebrities, life as a reality TV star, the importance of building meaningful relationships, launching and building JUDY as well as their recent collaboration with Tiger King, why everyone should prepare for emergencies, and much more.

A little over 3 years ago, Darien met Melanie on a blind friend date. Darien was an architect living in New York, who brought up the idea of an on-demand childcare space with Melanie, a marketing executive. Both women were working mothers who had not found a good solution to childcare. 

Darien and Melanie moved to Los Angeles with their families and set out to solve a painful problem in their lives (and the lives of all other working moms). Brella was born. 

We spoke with Darien and Melanie about how they got the business going, raising $3 million, how Brella is different than other daycare solutions and how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected their business and its trajectory, as well as the impact it could have on developing children at a young age.

His new book, Inquire Within, a powerful and innovative book of poetry and wisdom designed to take your pain and transform it into growth, drops March 31st - you can find more info at in-q.com.

Before her entrepreneurial journey began, Daina found herself working in corporate America for several years after graduating with Master’s degrees in Nutrition and Public Health from Tufts University, all the while having an itch to start her own business.

She finally took the leap after she and her best friend, Vanessa Dew, and husband, Justin Trout, started an “entrepreneur club” to brainstorm potential ideas to pursue. At long last, they decided on selling kombucha - something Daina had been making for many years since her college days - when they stumbled upon the little-known fact that it could help with preventing hair loss. Daina and her new co-founders began brewing batches of kombucha in her apartment, started selling it at local farmers markets, and eventually grew Health-Ade into one of the fastest-growing brands in its category.

In 2020, the company will sell close to 5 million cases, generating over $150 million across 30,000 stores. Tune in to experience Daina’s story of perseverance, grit and ensuring success against all odds.

Upon their return to America, Nick went to boarding school, got kicked out of boarding school, eventually graduated high school, and stole his mother’s credit card to travel to Patagonia for 5 months. That trip changed his perspective and trajectory in life.

After traveling around the world and working various jobs, he randomly ran into a guy wearing a hat in Venice, CA - this is the beginning of Nick’s hat-making days. Nick’s passion and perseverance have led his hats to sit on the heads of countless celebrities, helping accelerate the growth of his brand. His entrepreneurial journey is unlike any other, but the lessons he learned are applicable to all.

We also learn about what Nashville Hot Chicken REALLY is, the wild journey he’s had from being $80,000 in debt to growing one of the most popular food concepts ever, and what’s to come next!

Whether or not you’re a foodie, make sure to tune in for an amazing story and conversation with Chef Johnny!

Ashley Merrill is the founder and CEO of Lunya, a company who makes modern, luxury sleepwear for women. Before launching the company in 2014, Ashley was working at a venture capital firm as well as an online media company when she realized there was a gap in the sleepwear market for women.

Born and raised in LA, Ashley attended UCLA for her bachelors and MBA as well as culinary school prior to working as a professional. She officially launched Lunya by accident while in business school literally as she was giving birth to her first child!

In this episode, Pat &amp; Posh sit down with Ashley to hear about her upbringing, the opportunity she sees for Lunya, the challenges she faced growing the company, their approach to marketing, and what the future looks like for the brand.

We also chat about other exciting topics such as the Japanese concept of Ikigai and the impact it’s had on her life and the decisions she’s made, what it’s like being married to an entrepreneur (Marc Merrill, founder of Riot Games, who we had on episode 42!) while raising children and running a successful company of her own, and her advice for other entrepreneurs.

Tune in for an awesome conversation with Ashley!

Peiman was born in Italy but moved to America at a young age. His parents are Iranian immigrants who ultimately brought their family to America for a better life and more opportunities for Peiman and his younger brother, Noah.

Before launching Madhappy in 2017, Peiman worked as an investment banker in New York for several months after graduating college but quickly realized he wasn’t on a path that he wanted to go down. Over the holidays, while on a ski trip, he reconnected with a couple of friends from high school and discussed the idea of starting a clothing brand - they decided to call it Madhappy (a catchy name that their co-founder and friend, Mason, had come up with a few months prior).

Since then, the four founders (Peiman, Noah, Mason, and their friend Josh), along with their growing team, have gone on to build an incredible community and a brand that stands for something. They’ve put on pop-ups, thrown massive parties, and sold millions of dollars worth of product. In May 2019, they raised a strategic round of capital from high-profile investors such as LVMH, Tommy Hilfiger, and the founders of Sweetgreen.

In this episode, Pat and Posh hang with Peiman at Madhappy HQ to chat about the early days of starting the brand, the mistakes and lessons they’ve learned, and what’s to come for the growing label. They also discuss the topic of mental health and the personal connection to the founding team, how Peiman maintains his own mental sanity while building the next big clothing brand, and his advice to anyone who’s just starting out in the space.

      <itunes:summary>Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Tony Gonzalez, Drew Bledsoe, Warren Moon, Evander Holyfield, Oscar De La Hoya, Lennox Lewis, Patrick Mahomes. These are just a few of 300+ pro athletes that Leigh Steinberg, founder of Steinberg Sports &amp; Entertainment, has represented throughout his 45-year career as a sports agent.

Growing up in LA, Leigh attended UC Berkeley in the late 1960s during the historic Free Speech Movement era. While a dorm counselor, he met Steve Bartkowski, who was the starting quarterback for the UC Berkeley football team and would later become the #1 pick in the 1975 NFL Draft (Steve Wozniak, co-founder and creator of Apple, was also a student on his floor).

Leigh, fresh out of law school with zero professional legal experience, was asked by Bartkowski to represent him and the rest is history. Leigh went on to negotiate the largest rookie contract in NFL history for Bartkowski and has successfully negotiated over $3 billion in contracts ever since. He was also the real-life inspiration behind the movie, Jerry Maguire, starring Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding, Jr. (&quot;SHOW ME THE MONEY!&quot;).

In this episode, Pat and Posh sit down with Leigh to hear the incredible story of how he pioneered the sports agent world and was able to represent such successful talent across several sports, his approach to finding the right athletes to represent, the massive successes as well as setbacks he’s faced throughout his life, and the accomplishments he’s most proud of.

He also shares his thoughts on the parallels between sports and life, athletes as today’s biggest influencers, advice for those who are looking to have a successful career as a sports agent, and the nationwide debate around college athletes getting paid.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Shelby and Sandy are brothers and artists based in LA who are known for creating modern, contemporary art inspired by nostalgia and culture - pretty much their childhood!</p><p>Born and raised in Orange County, Shelby and Sandy were best friends growing up and both had an undying passion for painting and drawing. Influenced by their parents’ interest in art, they always knew they would end up in the creative field.</p><p>When they decided to go all in on their craft in 2013, they took advantage of Instagram’s growing platform and quickly gained attention from high-profile celebrities and collectors who wanted a piece of the action. Since then, they’ve created art for Zac Efron, Nick Cannon, Bradley Cooper, Lucy Hale, and David Dobrik (to name a few) and collaborated with countless brands.</p><p>In this episode, Pat and Posh hang out with Shelby and Sandy at their creative studio to learn about their upbringing, early days of working together, their approach to creating, and where they see themselves headed to next. They also discuss the future of art, what their day-to-day looks like, and what makes them work so damn well together.</p><p>Don’t miss this incredibly interesting conversation with the artist duo who’s making some serious waves and only getting started!</p><p>SUBSCRIBE TO TFH NEWSLETTER & STAY UPDATED > http://bit.ly/tfh-newsletter</p><p>FOLLOW TFH ON INSTAGRAM > http://www.instagram.com/thefounderhour</p><p>FOLLOW TFH ON TWITTER > http://www.twitter.com/thefounderhour</p><p>INTERESTED IN BECOMING A SPONSOR?

      <title>Arman Oganesyan | How Dave’s Hot Chicken Went from a Parking Lot to Nationwide Franchise</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Arman Oganesyan is the co-founder of Dave’s Hot Chicken, a Nashville-style hot chicken joint based in LA which he started with his two childhood friends, Tommy Rubenyan and David Kopushyan.</p>
<p>Before getting into the food and hospitality business, Arman was an actor and comedian who also created videos on Vine and YouTube. After discovering hot chicken following a visit to Howlin’ Ray’s and being inspired by the concept, the three friends got together and started selling their own out of a parking lot in Hollywood in May 2017.</p>
<p>After just a few days of being open and an EaterLA article, Dave’s quickly became a popular go-to spot for locals and started amassing a large Instagram following. After just 6 months, they moved into their first brick-and-mortar on Western Avenue. Fast forward almost a year later, they have some BIG plans in the making including locations #2 and #3 and a nationwide franchise rollout!</p>
<p>Pat &amp; Posh sat down with Arman to hear about his upbringing, how he met his co-founders, founding Dave’s, and the struggles and successes they’ve endured along the way. We also chat about their vision for expanding the concept, how they plan on scaling the business, and his thoughts on the hot chicken craze in LA.</p>

      <title>Dr. Jason Wersland | The Chiropractor Who Created Theragun After a Life-Changing Accident</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Jason Wersland is the co-founder, creator, and Head of Performance Development for Theragun, a percussive massage therapy device being used by athletes and people everywhere for muscle relief and recovery.</p>
<p>Before starting Theragun, Dr. Jason owned a company back home in Utah but realized he was on a path he didn’t ultimately want to be on. At the time, he also went through a divorce, lost his business after being a victim of embezzlement, and had 2 young kids with nothing to his name. He picked up his bags and moved to Los Angeles for chiropractic school, hoping he would discover a new path to success.</p>
<p>After suffering a life-changing motorcycle accident in 2008, Dr. Jason came up with the idea for Theragun and hacked together a prototype of the product at home. Eventually, the business took off after a series of difficult challenges and now offers a revolutionary product that is being used by athletes all over the world.</p>
<p>In this episode, Pat &amp; Posh sat down with Dr. Jason to hear about this story and talk about the multitude of lessons he’s learned throughout his incredible journey to where he is now. This was one of the most interesting stories we’ve heard and we’re so excited to share it with you all!</p>

      <itunes:summary>Rosie O’Neill is the co-founder and CEO of Sugarfina, a luxury candy boutique featuring a collection of artisan sweets from around the globe. Inspired by a third-date screening of the original &quot;Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,&quot; Rosie and her co-founder/fiancé Josh Resnick dreamed up a “candy boutique for grown-ups” featuring the finest confections packaged beautifully in the brand’s signature blue Bento Boxes.

On the last episode, we heard from Rosie about her upbringing growing up in LA and how she fell into a marketing career, working in PR and eventually Mattel, where she became the youngest director of marketing working on the Barbie brand (a childhood dream of hers).

In this segment, Rosie shares the story of how Sugarfina came about, the opportunity she and Josh saw, and the challenges they’ve faced getting it to where it is today.

      <itunes:summary>For the first time ever, we are sitting down for a SECOND time with a guest who has already been on the show!

Brent Bolthouse is the CEO of Bungalow Hospitality Group and the creator of Neon Carnival.

Neon Carnival is dubbed “the official afterparty of Coachella”, although not affiliated with the festival, and is considered one of the biggest private parties in the world with Hollywood’s top celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Drake, Clint Eastwood, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, and Paris Hilton attending in the past.

This year, Neon Carnival is expanding to Stagecoach weekend as well!

Pat &amp; Posh hung out with Brent to catch up and see what he’s been up to in the past year, what to expect from The Bungalow in the future along with some exciting announcements, what sparked the idea for Neon Carnival, and what goes into throwing such a big event.

We also hear from Brent on what he would do if he was in charge of throwing a festival (take notes, Billy McFarland!) along with what he believes is the future of nightlife.

Brent also had a ton of insights and advice to share for anyone who feels stuck and wants to follow their passion in life.

The first episode with Brent, Episode 28, was one of our biggest episodes yet and this one is EVEN BETTER so make sure to tune in!

      <title>Steve O&apos;Dell | Unlikely Likely: Nike Flowers</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Steve O’Dell is the co-founder and CEO of Tenzo Tea, who sources ceremonial matcha green tea powder from Japan to create the healthiest drink on the planet.</p>
<p>Before stumbling upon the idea for Tenzo Tea after a Google search for “what is the healthiest form of energy?”, Steve was a volleyball star at UCLA and ended up dropping out of school to pursue entrepreneurship.</p>
<p>He co-founded Tenzo Tea with his friend after trying matcha for the first time and immediately experiencing the impact it had on his life and hasn’t looked back since.</p>
<p>In the last few episodes, Pat &amp; Posh spent time with Steve hearing about his upbringing and starting Tenzo Tea, his thoughts on the culture of Los Angeles, and what he would do on Day 1 if he was CEO of Starbucks.</p>
<p>In this episode, Pat, Posh and Steve play Unlikely Likely, a fun activity where we pair up an existing company with a random product and Steve says how he would launch that product if he were in charge. Tune in for an interesting conversation with some good laughs!</p>
<p>If you’re interested in giving Tenzo Tea a try, use the code “FOUNDERHOURSUB” for 50% off your subscription of 30 Grams at www.tenzotea.co!</p>

      <title>Matthew O’Connor | Business School to Billboards</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Matthew O’Connor is the co-founder and CEO of AdQuick, a marketplace for buying and selling outdoor advertising.</p>
<p>Matt grew up in Washington D.C. and attended the University of Notre Dame to study political science. After realizing he had a passion for business, he decided to forgo going to law school to start a company called Footprint Free.</p>
<p>To further his pursuit of business, Matt enrolled at the University of Virginia for his MBA. In this episode, he shares his experiences and the lessons he learned while going to business school, as well as his thoughts on if it’s a good investment.</p>
<p>His first business ultimately didn’t end up working out so Matt went on to be an early employee at Instacart, working with the team to launch new markets and improve existing ones.</p>
<p>After leaving Instacart, Matt worked at Amazon in Seattle for a brief time before moving to Los Angeles to start AdQuick in 2016.</p>
<p>Matt talks about what inspired the idea for AdQuick, the early challenges he’s had to face, raising his first 2 rounds of funding (investors include Alexis Ohanian’s Initialized Capital and Tony Hsieh’s VTF Capital), and thoughts on the future of advertising.</p>

      <title>Lilit Caradanian | Passion Project to Makeup Artist Turned Beauty Entrepreneur</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Lilit Caradanian is the founder and CEO of Elcie Cosmetics.</p>
<p>Before launching her own brand, she was a makeup artist and worked in finance prior to that after receiving her MBA.</p>
<p>Upon realizing that working in the corporate world wasn’t for her, Lilit left her job at Disney and took on being a MUA full-time.
