Devin created a CBD coffee start-up called SteepFuze, and he sold his company to Willie Nelson - or, Willie's company, anyway - just before the pandemic.
I love this story because it's a candid look about the ups and MANY downs of starting a product-based business in a highly uncertain market.
Despite so many challenges, Devin came out on top and with an outstanding story to tell.

Ep. 134 - Shiloh Johnson: Small Biz. Tax Tech at Scale
Future Optimist
01/13/23 • 54 min
Shiloh Johnson is the founder and CEO of ComplYant, a digital tax assistant platform that’s raised over 10 million in funding to date.
Shiloh’s personal journey is incredible, which you’ll soon find out, but the upshot is this: in her time as CPA, she noticed that many—most?—small business owners were making the same mistakes.
She soon realized that there was a gap in the market and got to work building a platform to help business owners such as myself be a little less stupid. Ok, the stupidity part just applies to me, but everyone could use a little help.
This episode is great for anyone who’s thinking about starting a business or bringing an idea into the world.

Harrison Broadhurst & Chris Rännefors are Co-Founders of BatBNB, a highly innovative and unique start-up saving the bats. If ever there was something or someone in need of a massive PR campaign, it’s bats. Bats and their role in our planet have been so profoundly misunderstood, and things have only gotten worse for them in recent years. My guests today created a start-up around bats that saw them succeed on Shark Tank, get big backing and create a highly successful company around something they are passionate about.

You might not know this, but machine learning can be used to detect patterns in our speech that can help us diagnose mental health issues like depression and burnout faster.
In a world where therapists are scarce and expensive, applying AI to the massive mental health problems facing our society today is an incredibly exciting frontier.
We discuss the implications of emerging tech on some of our most pressing problems.

Ep. 147 - David Dellal: Solving the Yearly $9.5 Billion Worth of Ice Damage to Rooftops
Future Optimist
03/03/23 • 53 min
David Dellal is the Co-Founder & CEO of Floe Inc, a cleantech startup developing a smart solution to prevent the extensive, costly water damage caused by ice buildup on buildings' roofs in the winter.
You know what I love? I love learning about amazing solutions to problems that I never knew existed, such as the fact that $9.5 billion in damage occurs due to ice on rooftops each year in the US alone.
Not only that, de-icing as an entire industry is archaic, harmful, and wasteful, meaning that it’s a huge sector ripe for eco-disruption.
David recently made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and his idea was conceived in MIT and perfected at Yale, so I’m looking forward to a great conversation with an extremely smart dude.
