Arguably, two of the most essential elements that an entrepreneur or inventor needs to consider when they’re creating a new product are figuring out why that product is necessary and if that product already exists. Today’s guest recognized a problem, created a new solution, and bootstrapped her business. Nicole Biscuiti is the Founder of The Chestee — the only patented sports bra with built-in collarbone protection. As a former Crossfit athlete and now weightlifter, Nicole realized that holding a massive barbell with heavy metal plates behind your neck actually hurts athletes (and not just the burning they feel in their legs). And thus, The Chestee was born. Owwll Founder Jason Hill and Producer Jaime talk to Nicole about creating and designing weightlifting apparel for women (and men) from scratch. Nicole also shares the importance of building an incredibly trustworthy team…like so trustworthy that you’d give them keys to your home (which is exactly what she did). Listen in… Hoot hoot!

Entrepreneurs are WORK HORSES…to say the least. It’s true. Most have incredibly long days, even longer sleepless nights, and countless people pulling them in all directions. Entrepreneurs are also opportunists, making it difficult for them to say “No,” even if it’s in their best interest. Today’s guest counsels people pleasers, perfectionists, and codependents. Julia Manfre is a licensed mental health counselor and psychotherapist, and she’s the Founder of Self-Care Solutions LLC. Julia is also the host of the Self-Care Solutions Podcast. She visited the Owwll studio to chat with Owwll Founder Jason Hill and Producer Jaime about her therapist journey and how she sees Brene Brown as her mentor. Plus, Producer Jaime shares who was her very FIRST podcasting client (spoiler alert…it was Julia). Listen in… Hoot hoot!

Today’s guest is an expert in the music industry–rising country singer-songwriter, Daniel Mock. Daniel hails from the great state of Alabama, and at just 23 years old, he has found his calling in music. Owwll Founder Jason Hill and Producer Jaime chat with Daniel about how he first picked up a guitar when he was 16, has persevered through the countless “No’s,” and wants to impact the next generation of musicians. Hear about how he learned the ropes of the music and live event industry while taming the hearts and ears of his fans. PLUS, Daniel whips out his guitar and sings a few tunes for your listening pleasure–including a special request from Producer Jaime that was a blast-from-the-past performance from our talented guest. (You definitely do not want to miss that!) Listen in… Hoot hoot!

Age is nothing but a number…right? Well, today’s guests certainly think so. Carlton Washington and Deniz Duygulu are the Founders of 4EverYoung Anti Aging Solutions, a medical health wellness clinic and spa that helps people feel AND look better. These guys believe that getting older doesn’t mean losing your quality of life. Owwll Founder Jason Hill and Producer Jaime chat with them about hormone balance, health equals wealth, and staying persistent. Plus, Carlton and Deniz explain how FITNESS has been like a mentor to them in this week’s “What The Flock?” segment. Listen in… Hoot hoot!

Entrepreneurs come and go. Some of them stay…but many are stars that burn out quickly. Well, today’s guest has been an entrepreneur since he was 14 YEARS OLD, and nothing is slowing him down! Chad Folkening is the Founder of Global Ventures, LLC–a technology-based venture development and investment group. Chad shares with Owwll Founder Jason Hill and Producer Jaime how he went from being a teen entrepreneur (who started a successful handyman company, because he wanted to buy a moped) to a serial entrepreneur. He also explains why it is important to always invest in yourself–especially when you are building your business. Plus, Jason and Jaime share their Owwll app tips of the week! Listen in… Hoot hoot!

Here’s something you probably don’t know…EVERYONE’S going virtual these days, especially since the pandemic. Okay…so maybe you knew that already. But did you know that people aren’t just hosting work meetings, webinars, and classes remotely, but they’re also attending online job fairs?? Today’s guest kept his eye on technology trends as we kept our eyes on all our devices. Army veteran Steve Edwards is the CEO of Premier Virtual, a software company that provides virtual and hybrid event solutions. It primarily focuses on recruiting events like job fairs. Owwll Founder Jason Hill and Producer Jaime talk to Steve about how the pandemic was a catalyst for his company. He also mentions how wrong his haters (many, many haters) were when he first told them he was starting Premier Virtual. Listen in… Hoot hoot!

Today’s Owwll expert is a literal LIFE SAVER. Will Kesselman has over 14 years of experience as a Special Victims Investigator. As someone who has guided more than 1,000 people to safety, Will understands the value of people’s lives and well-being. Now he provides coaching (through the Owwll App of course) for those who are enduring high-conflict divorces and other potentially harmful situations like domestic abuse. And if that’s not impressive enough, Will is the highest-ranked expert on Owwll! He’s clocked in more time consulting people than ANYONE on the app. So it only makes sense to have him on the show (and for you to listen). Owwll Founder Jason Hill and Producer Jaime chat with Will about how he helps victims take back control and achieve power through his business, Control & Power Strategy, LLC. He also mentions the importance of celebrating even the smallest of wins when running your company. Listen in… Hoot hoot!

Do you know how to develop your content-creation expertise? Andrea Ocampo is a multifaceted woman of many talents–TV host, entrepreneur, author, producer, speaker, and branding consultant… just to name a few. And, she has honed her media career (with the likes of the NFL, Travel Channel, Univision, and more) to focus on the value of creating great content that impacts. And, when NFTs started to become a creative entrepreneurship opportunity, she dove in, surrounded herself with experts, began a VERY ambitious NFT project, and became an expert in the space herself. Andrea was Producer Jaime’s second EVER podcast guest, back in 2014, and it is a real treat to have her on the show. Listen in as they relate their shared career growth experiences to Jason. (And, as Jason joins in on the celebration of girl power, haha! Never letting any fear or self-doubt dissuade her, to call Andrea a trailblazer sells her short–because she has simply set media spaces on FIRE. And, the NFT space is her latest lucky victim. In this conversation, Andrea discusses being the Founder/Executive Producer of HBU Media, reveals details of her revolutionary NFT project, and shares how she hopes to inspire women (especially the special young girls in her life) to be fearless trailblazers, too. Listen in… Hoot hoot!

Alright, this is a special one…today’s guest is a public relations pro, eclectic entrepreneur, and marketing MAVEN. Cindy Metzler is the President of Omm Media and Co-Organizer of TEDx Boca Raton. Owwl Founder Jason Hill and Producer Jaime chat with Cindy about helping people reach their goals and the power of amplifying voices. Plus, Cindy discusses her passion project, The Sisterhood for Success, and how she’s inspired by the “ordinary” women she meets. Listen in… Hoot hoot!
