Episode 064 - Year One w/ Amy Lund (The Dough Lady)

This week's episode is my Year One episode with Amy Lund! She's seen massive growth and constantly had lines wrapped around the corner for her incredible sweet rolls from The Dough Lady. She knows a thing or two because she's seen a thing or two. And with all that experience, she was kind enough to talk to us about what she did when she launched and everything she would do in the first year if she were to restart today.
Some of the important action items for growth she discusses are:

How to create a personal relationship with your customers to build brand loyalty
The importance of creating easily replicable processes in order to manage labor costs and your time expense (your most valuable asset)

To learn specifically how she would do this, as well as many other amazing tips, listen to this episode now!

Episode 066 - From Career Lawyer to Million-Dollar CEO w/ Monte Deere (Kizik)

I just flew home from across the country today. While I was going through security I actually saw an advertisement posted right before the security entrance advertising the company from today's episode. It's Kizik, and they make hands-free shoes! It was brilliant marketing and specific targeting of people who may think about buying their product for the future (taking off your shoes for airport security is a hassle). This was just the perfect example of having your marketing dollars work smarter for you.
Monte Deere is the CEO of Kizik, and I had the opportunity to sit down and talk a little bit about Kizik as a whole, and his own personal journey. He had been a lawyer for his entire career before joining Kizik as the CEO, and since he joined they have really taken off. His story is amazing, and he's just a stand-up guy. I'm looking forward to you hearing this week's episode of Freedom to Fail.
