How to Win the Game of Consumer Subscriptions with Michael Hurnaus Oct 19, 2023

Show notes

Michael Hurnaus previously worked for Microsoft and Amazon before founding Tractive - market leader in GPS Tracking and Health/Wellness Monitoring for cats and dogs. Michael also angel-invests in B2C subscription businesses.

Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Around 95 percent of success hinges on executing that idea well. The idea contributes only about 5 percent to startups and endeavors, while most of the outcome is determined by effective execution.

2. Pricing is vital for subscriptions, whether in your business or as an angel investor in others. The Choice Factory book is a great resource.

3. Reducing churn is crucial, perhaps even more than pricing. To lower churn, start by offering a fantastic product that engages users.

Show notes

Devan Kline, former San Francisco Giants Player turned Co-Founder and Visionary of Burn Boot Camp and Burn Media Co. Burn is one of the fastest growing franchises in the US.

2. When you have no resources, no mentors, no people. You can lean on books everyday, conversations, being curious, asking the right questions, reaching out to people that you think can teach you something, going on the offense and going to seek that mentorship.

3. Entrepreneurship was all about the craft of training, personal training, inspiring, empowering, transforming people's lives from the inside out, delivering them more value than anybody else could in your sector.

The Secret Power of Kindness with Greg Atkinson Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

Greg Atkinson is an entrepreneur, bestselling author, speaker, leadership and life coach, consultant, and member of the Forbes Coaching Council. His newest book is The Secret Power of Kindness.

Top 3 Value Bombs

1. When we are unified in the goal, in the vision and the mission of how we are going to treat one another with respect and kindness and we're going to treat our customers with respect and kindness, then the sky's the limit. Who knows how successful we can be, but it starts with unity.

2. Try to create kindness in the workplace and to have a healthy culture.

3. When we remain composed and stay calm, we are often better able to be heard and understood. When we respond in a kind way. We gain a better audience, somebody that will listen to us because we diffuse the situation.
