What You'll Learn in this Episode:

How to invest over a period of time.
How to get into the investor mindset.
How to learn to invest on Rapunzl.

Quotes:

"I think the first thing, if you're curious about the stock market or think this is something that you wanna do, it's to first start to educate yourself and start to read. So you don't necessarily have to just go invest tomorrow." (4:58)

"I think that a lot of really successful investors, unless you're a hedge fund manager or something like that, you're not necessarily thinking about how am I getting rich overnight. A lot of the best investors are doing this for a long period of time." (10:16)

"We need to go on a road trip and meet our potential users, find out where they're at, and we were figuring out other streams or other mediums to market the platform, digital ads and things like that. So what we did is we bought a van we wrapped it in the Rapunzel logo and we drove to the colleges around us." (13:17)

About Myles Gage:

Myles is the co-founder of Rapunzl and an advocate for financial education especially for individuals in underserved communities. Attending Ariel Community Academy on Chicago's south side exposed him to the stock market at a very young age, as financial literacy was the crux of its curriculum.

That's why, subsequent to graduating from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Myles developed Rapunzl with his highschool friend, Brian Curcio. Together they designed and developed an app that addresses the three roadblocks that prohibit many from understanding the stock market: fear, exposure, and accessibility.

Organizing Your Sales Using CRM with Jeroen Corthout Oct 17, 2022

What You'll Learn in this Episode:

How to use a CRM
How to close people in sales.
How to use CRM as a solo entrepreneur.

Quotes:

"Know when to follow up, organize yourself so that you follow up at the right times so that you don't forget about customers, otherwise you will disappoint them." (07:54)

"Really figure out first what you need. Then do some Googling around and and see which CRM solves your issue. Then make sure that your team likes using it, because if they don't feel good about it, then you'll be paying for a CRM that goes unused." (13:28)

"This doesn't have to be a huge discussion but there needs to be some discussion. You need to plan things together, look at things together, a lot of businesses skip that." (14:49)

About Jeroen Corthout:

Jeroen Corthout is the co-founder of Salesflare, a simple but powerful CRM that automates updating your data so you don't have to. Jeroen had to use a CRM system in his job and hated how much effort it took to keep everything up to date. And if you didn't, your CRM quickly became useless.

He also realized that a lot of salespeople tracked deals outside of the CRM because they didn't want to be hassled by management until the deal was further along. He came up with the idea of a sales tool that could build off the data that was already there, make better use of automation and rely less on people having to manually update information. He built it not as a replacement but as an extension for a CRM application.

In a short amount of time, Brent was able to expand his business, hire a team, and (most importantly) spend quality time with his family while still working hard and helping others. While Brent invests in many different types of real estate, his favorite investment strategy deals with buying and selling vacant land, and he enjoys sharing his expertise in this area with his coaching clients.

Learning the World of Crypto Currency with Jeff Sekinger Sep 12, 2022

What You'll Learn in this Episode:

How to invest in crypto currency.
How your business should adapt to crypto currency.
How to use smart contracts.

Quotes:

"The thing you need to separate is, we're no longer investing into companies, we're investing into protocols and that's really a piece of code and a lot of 'em can replace, you know, agencies, and companies. We're starting to see things being used as as an actual currency." (8:40)

"I think smart contracts will be important for the author to have ownership over what they are writing and publishing. And we see this with music as well, when artists release their albums, they can really own a larger piece of their albums." (17:08)

"So I think if banks are not, coming around to it and accepting crypto, regardless of regulation, regardless of the current infrastructure that's in place, they have to adopt it because if they don't they'll die. I really think that the best technology is always gonna prevail." (22:22)

About Jeff Sekinger:

Jeff Sekinger was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but was raised in Columbus, Ohio after his family relocated when he was five years old. From a young age, he always had a knack for the business and finance world as he grew up with entrepreneurs for parents. When they divorced, he noticed the financial toll his family's finances took. He developed his drive for financial success after seeing both sides of what money can do.

While working at J.P. Morgan, he started writing business plans for startups as a side hustle. He noticed startups also needed capital to start and operate their ventures and quickly jumped into the credit niche. Simultaneously, Jeff began building his personal brand on Instagram, teaching the exact strategies he was using in the business and on himself to break out of the financial hole he dug himself into. After declaring the outside business activity, the bank denied his side hustle and social media presence. Jeff took this as a sign to pursue his passion and left the company in late 2018.
