Employers Mentoring Urban Youth with Gary Rabine

Learn how and why someone working in the mailroom in a company can make a direct connection with the CEO? Learn about the power of sharing your goals and aspirations with lots of people. Action Steps: Contact CEOs that might be on board with this project that are givers. Explain Gary’s idea and get them to make a commitment Get in touch with folks in the urban community that are givers and get them committed to the project. As an example, you could go into a community, gathering just 5 to 10 of the right community members that would be committed workers. Organize an event where they can meet with powerful CEOs. This is a great opportunity for younger kids, aged 16-18, coming from rough urban communities to spearhead a project and connect with important people. As an intrapreneur, introduce this project to your company as a way to create a structured onboarding system, something many companies are great need of. Look into creating a "seal" for a special type of corp or business that would use Gary’s system. Study how things work with B corps. What can be applied to this idea? Do a pilot of Gary’s project, starting with just 300-400 kids. By your 3rd year, extend the project to 1000 kids.

He believed he had gained enough experience laboring in his dad's small business that he could do it. Surrounded by college-bound friends one day in a high school cafeteria, one of them asked his college plans and he replied that he'd like to save his money and start a business. A smart-alec friend eagerly termed him a "Ditch-Digger", loudly laughing “Gary's going to be a Ditch Digger”. Motivated by this memory and a desire to walk his own path, 37 years later, Gary Rabine has grown Rabine Paving and many other businesses which are now the Rabine Group of Companies. He co-hosts the Ditch Digger CEO Podcast about stories like his: From "ditch-digger" to the founder/CEO of a national facilities services empire.

The Expensive Water Bottle with Jeff Proctor
Nuggets: Learn how businesses like Jeff’s thrive despite living in a very competitive market. Discover the power of pricing at the high end. Find out how creating a product with marketing in mind can literally change our values and habits. Action Steps: If you have the chops, brainstorm how to implement some of the functionality discussed in this episode.

Try a second and third demographic for the product to get feedback from potential clients. Some example locations/events to visit might be a winery, or a gala event where you can find wealthy people. Alternatively talk to people, who for medical reasons, really need to focus on their water intake.

Domain Naming Helper Software with Garrett Dimon
Nuggets: Learn why now is a great time to find a great domain for a new project. Find out how to start from a very simple mockup, validate an idea and grow it through iteration. Action Steps: Do some market research on power users for domain names, i.e. people who spend a lot of time searching for and creating them. Can you attract enough that would pay a decent amount for a service like this? Find out if you can sustain a business based on power users paying for this. Research business models to find out what would work best. For example, affiliate programs, advertising or charging users at different tiers. Research registrars that you might connect with through an API to validate availability. Find out which registar(s) could be the right one(s) to connect your users to register with. Research the technical challenges of matching against all existing registered domains and storing and accessing the data on which domain name inquiries would be based. Keep in mind there may be "non-technical" ways to get this started. Don't assume you need to have advanced computer science skills. Validate with a landing page builder. But include a really rough version of it that people can play with. For example, generate four input boxes that accept nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs. Spins them all together and gives users a huge list that gives them an idea of what could inspire them. Use this foundation, plus take advantage of tremendous capacity for constant evolution based on user suggestions and your observations to slowly iterate and improve.

How to Start a Software Company with David Hauser
Nuggets: Don’t try to compete with the hundreds of startups working on the same problems for the same industries - do something different How to answer the objection “you don’t understand my industry so you can’t build software for it” by turning it into a strength Leverage your outsider status to build better software by asking childlike questions You don’t need to love the industry to be passionate about your work (e.g. empowering entrepreneurs to succeed) Be “as close to the money as possible” when developing enterprise solutions (help add customers or keep them longer) Enterprise managers are typically risk-averse - understand their motivations and reduce the risk of your solution as much as possible to close the sale Asking for money often surfaces the real pain points - do it before building the solution Don’t waste time trying to convince people who aren’t early adopters You don’t need to be a coder in order to follow this process Sometimes when your customers call to complain, all they’re looking for is to be heard Businesses like these are great to start during recessions - there’s more talent available and companies are looking for ways to reduce costs and increase revenue Action Steps: Brainstorm a “first connection” - a corporate employee you’re connected with that can give you a baseline understanding of the problems in that industry and some credibility when calling others Talk with a minimum of 10 people in a particular industry and identify a theme around the main problems and opportunities in that industry Pre-sell your solution to ensure it’s a real pain that’s worth developing software for Develop an MVP yourself or hire someone else to do so Get feedback from early customers and iterate Follow through on these action steps and email us your results at update@runwithit.fm.
