Lemonade Stand Stories

Latest Episodes:

Sarath Prabhakar, Amazing Musician and Victor over drug abuse Oct 19, 2021

Show notes

Sarath. Sweet Sarath. How I love this guy. As you can tell from last names, Sarath and I are brothers. I'm 5 years older, and we have been blessed to have a great relationship our whole lives. Sarath and I were raised by the same parents but have lived two very different lives. Our paths are finally crossing after years of being on two different journeys. While my life consisted of being obedient to parents because of fear, Sarath rebelled. He hated authority. He hated restrictions. He wanted to create his own rules. He admits that oftentimes this led to disaster. Sarath got involved in drugs over a decade ago and that ruined his life for a very long time. He talked about his suffering and everything he did to survive. Sarath finally saw he wanted a desperate change in his life and went to treatment centers for help. He is now a completely changed man, being 4 years clean. He has incredible light in his life and loves to help people anywhere he can. He is very articulate and intelligent in his thoughts and wants to share his light. Although I knew a glimpse of his story, on the podcast we dove deep and I got to hear so many details of his life. It was truly incredible for me. Hope you all enjoy it.

Greg Trimble, Founder of Lemonade Stand & Yalla, 4X Author, and Great Culture Enthusiast Sep 29, 2021

Show notes

Greg Trimble is one of those people who does things. I know that sounds pretty vague, but there's a lot of people out there who don't do things because they're afraid the outcome might not live up to their expectations. So to expound a little, when Greg has a cool idea, there's no back burner for him to throw the idea on to be tackled later, he just does it. He's already started plenty of businesses, written several books, and written tons of blogs.
One of his most treasured lessons he learned from a tech company he created in college. He learned the importance of building a strong and healthy culture at the foundation of a company, which is what he practices currently at the digital marketing agency he founded, Lemonade Stand!
Greg is such a great guy, I love our conversations! If you haven't had the chance yet to read his books, you're missing out! Check out his website for all of his books, blogs, and any future updates!
I hope you enjoy this uplifting episode as much as I did!

Ganel-Lyn Condie, Speaker, Best Selling Author, and Host of the Middle Sep 07, 2021

Show notes

If Ganel-Lyn and I could get a dollar for the many times our names have been butchered by others, we would probably have billions of dollars in bitcoin. From talking about having braces in our adult years to feeling we are in the middle of heavy stuff, our podcast was so filled with light and joy because we discussed so much of the author of Light and Joy. Ganel-Lyn doesn't shy away from her spiritual faith, because it is at the root of who she is. And she is an absolute delight to be around. She is filled with so much knowledge and was dropping truth bombs after truth bombs. We had such a fun time discussing the things that truly bring us joy and lift us out of despair. When Ganel-Lyn lost her sister to death by suicide, she felt the lowest of the lows. Getting out of that was no easy task, but in the process, really came to know her Maker. We have had a really fun time chatting and hope you really enjoy this podcast!

Brandon Mull, Author of Fablehaven, Dragon Watch, 5 Kingdoms, and a bunch of other cool books Aug 24, 2021

Show notes

Although Brandon and I haven't known each other for a long time, I feel like we have become brothers from another mother. We met just over a month ago and learned that we felt so aligned in so many different ways. And as I got to know him more, I sensed that he has one of the purest hearts of the people I know. He just wants to do good. He always had a vivid imagination and figured out a way to turn his imagination in a very successful career as an author. His story of "The Other End of the Hippo" and "FableHaven" are just incredible. Today we chatted about his journey becoming an author, from writing books that no one ever wanted to publish to selling over 2 million books worldwide and creating experiences that people can latch on to. As an avid reader, I have been such a fan of his works so it was really a privilege to chat with him about the things that mean most to him. His 5th book in the Dragon Watch series comes out October 26th and concludes the Kendra and Seth story that he penned back in 2006. We talked about his books, the wrecking balls in life that made him lose hope, and the healing power of God that brought life back to him. Such a great time chatting with this man. Enjoy!

Rachel Nilsen, CMO at Thirst, on "treating employees even better than customers." Aug 23, 2021

Show notes

"We treat our employees even better than we treat our customers." - Rachel

Seems like radical advice, but the infusion of positivity in the lives of the employees is one of the main reasons Thirst is expanding and growing at the rate that they are.

It's not just about the specialty drinks and snacks. It's about the experience the customers have when they walk through the door. An experience, only genuinely happy employees can give. With that mindset, and the power of free social media, Thirst has exploded.

Rachel sat down with me at the Lemonade Stand and shared some of her secrets as to why Thirst has been exploding in business, especially during times when the world was shutting down. She and her partner Ethan, who also happens to be the CEO, have found a great rhythm working together. She said the secret to their success is also to have autonomy in their relationship and empower each other all along the way.

We had a great chat today and am now thirsty for their beverages. That was an incredibly terrible pun, but you get the idea. Enjoy the podcast!

Will Beck, survivor of the Colombine HS shooting tragedy and focusing on what's most important in life Aug 03, 2021

Show notes

Warning: This podcast does get dark. Will goes into detail about what he witnessed.
--
Will Beck is an extraordinary human being. And this was a very extraordinary podcast. Normally I chat extensively with my guests regarding their line of work, how they got here, etc. But Will went through a very horrific incident that he opened up to me about. In 1999, the world was shocked to hear about a public school shooting at Colombine High school in Littleton, CO. It was unheard of and terrifying. Will was a sophmore in Colombine HS at the time and went through the ordeal. From seeing people get shot to barely making it out himself, Will has a fresh perspective of hope from the entire incident. Senseless tragedies like this help us very quickly see what is most important in life. Grateful Will was able to come and share his story.

John Moyer, Writer, Director, and Certified Hypnotist Jul 28, 2021

Show notes

If you grew up watching LDS movies like Singles Ward, RM, and Mobsters and Mormon, you will have heard of John Moyer's name. John wrote those movies and directed Mobsters and Mormon as well. But John as led a very eclectic and cool life. In addition to writing and directing, John also spent years as a stand up comedian. He noticed however that audience members started to dwindle but showed up in groves whenever a stage hypnotist showed up. He then pivoted and declared that he was going to be a stage hypnotist. He did so, and crushed it. But along the way, John started to learn about the true power of the mind. Especially when he attempted suicide. He realized the depression he suffered came from the stories his mind was creating. Understanding this from a new point of view, he started to learn how the mind could be rewired, and as a result, experience a different kind of life. He became a certified hypnotist, meaning one who could actually help people through hypnotherapy. He created a youtube channel that exploded and has helped many, many people around the world. One of John's mantras is "Circumstances don't matter, only your state of being does." Grounding himself in a positive state of being, he started to watch as rough circumstances in his life faded away and positive experiences came into his life. He is now married to the woman not of his dreams because he couldn't even dream of her being that amazing and wonderful. He is continuing to make a positive impact wherever he goes. Glad we got sit and chat about life!

John Maxim & David Cline, Creators of the epic $20K+ Utah Treasure Hunts Jul 23, 2021

Show notes

In 2020, two friends hid $5,000 dollars in the mountains of Utah, leaving cryptic clues to lead locals on an epic four-day treasure hunt. The motivation behind the hunt? Simply to get people outside and having fun after months of COVID pandemic quarantine.

In 2021, they raised the stakes to $10,000—and left a series of clues that took seventeen days to solve as thousands of people raked the hiking trails along the Wasatch Front.
In 2022, they went even further and are giving away $20,000 in a treasure chest, that is, if you're clever enough to solve their riddle 😉. Now this isn't even the craziest part, they're not doing just one hunt for 20k, but 3 separate treasure hunts throughout the year, each with a chest of 20,000 dollars waiting at the end!

So who was behind these epic treasure hunts? John Maxim and David Cline, two Salt Lake City residents and business owners. John is a real estate mogul and house flipper, and David is an author and investor. Our host Charan Prabhakar talked with them about their experience planning the hunts, how this year’s adventure exploded to get international attention, and the unexpected ways these treasure hunts have inspired individuals and brought families and communities closer. Have a listen, and enjoy!

Travis Chambers, CEO of Chamber Media Jul 20, 2021

Show notes

What does a nice 15 mile walk teach you about life? For Travis Chambers, it is what real living feels like. Travis has had an incredible imagination and has loved making things go viral through social media marketing. This eventually led to him founding Chamber Media, where their ads have helped many businesses thrive! And his company has also helped me stay employed as an actor, which has been incredibly amazing. But Travis has faced lemon after lemon in his career. He is looking for ways to simplify his life. To find more joy. For him, that means focusing on today more than ever. It means taking time to have real experiences with his family, just hanging out. We had a great insightful convo today. Enjoy!

Steven Hoffman, CEO of Founders Space Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

When the chairman of Sega calls to design video games for them, Steven Hoffman had no choice but to drop everything and go. Sounds like a crazy adventure, but this just skims the surface of Steven’s reality. Steven has gone down the path of many different start ups. Some have been wildly successful and some have failed miserably. In those failures, he learned that so much of his suffering came from the negative script he was playing over and over in his head. He learned that there were many voices going on in his head and he had the power to turn down one voice and amplify another. Doing so, his life started shifting dramatically. He didn’t overly place his value on the success of his company. He focused more on how he would act and react to the things life through his way. Currently he is the CEO of Founders Space, One of the top incubation companies in the world. He loves seeing future entrepreneurs succeed and is so open to chatting with everyone. Seriously reach out to him. He will respond back! We had a great time chatting on this podcast.
