After owning his landscape construction business for over 10 years, GoMaterials’ CEO and co-founder Marc Elliott had experienced first-hand the headaches related to poor quality materials, last minute order changes, product availability shortages, and late deliveries. He shared his experience with long-time friends, who jointly realised that if Marc had experienced those challenges, other landscape designers would as well.

They had identified a gap in the landscape construction business. GoMaterials was born out of the need to resolve these challenges for the landscaping industry.

Today, GoMaterials represents a modern way for landscape construction businesses to source wholesale plant materials for the their projects.

EPISODE 23: 24 Good Deeds

Starting in October each year, individuals and corporations begin thinking about surprising those close to them with holiday gifts. Recently, one of the more popular gifts has been advent calendars. By now, most of us have seen an advent calendar. Hiding behind numbered doors are treats or surprises that are only revealed when the door is opened. Traditionally, you are only allowed to open one door per day in December.

I’ve seen advent calendars promoting tea, chocolate and even whiskey. But none of these come close to accomplishing what the advent calendar from 24 Good Deeds does.

Based on an idea originating in Germany, for as little as $24, purchasing a calendar directly supports 24 charitable projects—six from each of four four key areas (health care, education, nutrition, and the environment). The charities and their projects are reviewed and approved by an independent advisory board, and must adhere to extremely high standards to be selected.

Behind every door, every day, individuals can see good deeds take place in the world.

Now that’s a holiday gift worth sharing.

As serial entrepreneur Paul Baron was looking for the next big thing, he came across a new concept: vertical printing. It was an idea new to America but known for years throughout Asia, India, the Middle East, and Europe. The idea of painting indoor and outdoor murals inexpensively for artists and building owners, appealed to him. To print on walls of any surface material, reliably and accurately, appealed to him.
