377. Episode #189: When Grit is Not Enough with Dean Guida
On today’s episode of the Entrepreneur Evolution Podcast, we are joined by Dean Guida. Tech entrepreneur and CEO Dean Guida knows there’s a limit to what you can build with grit alone. At sixteen, Dean bought the first IBM PC and fell in love with writing software. He went on to receive a bachelor of science degree in operation research from the University of Miami. After graduating, he was a freelance developer and wrote many systems for IBM and on Wall Street. At twenty-three, he started Infragistics to build UX/UI tools for professional software developers. Seemingly overnight, Dean had to go from early internet coder to business operator—a feat that forced him to learn some of business’s biggest lessons on the job. He immediately began navigating the nuances of scaling a company, hiring and growing teams, and becoming a leader, a manager, and a mentor. Fast-forward thirty-five years, and Dean’s tech company now has operations in six countries. More than two million developers use Infragistics software, and its client roster boasts 100 percent of the S&P 500, including Fidelity, Morgan Stanley, Exxon, Intuit, and Bank of America.

367. Episode #184: Marrying the learner and teacher role with Olly Richards
On today’s episode of the Entrepreneur Evolution Podcast, we are joined by Olly Richards.
Olly Richards had a series of random careers, from jazz musician to English teacher, before eventually starting a blog on his passion – language learning – and growing it into a $10 million business. Today, he writes a newsletter teaching other online entrepreneurs how to scale their businesses to 7+ figures, using StoryLearning as a “living case study”.
As he was scaling StoryLearning, Olly constantly struggled to find other successful entrepreneurs who taught freely how they were growing their businesses. In the end, he had to figure it all out for himself, and committed to, one day, providing mentorship to others looking to navigate the perils of scaling. When StoryLearning turned 10, Olly launched his newsletter, teaching strategy and mindset to scale education companies to 7+ figures.
Olly, from the UK, started his career as a jazz musician in the UK, playing professionally for seven years. He decided that career wasn’t for him, and instead trained as an English teacher. At 28, he took a teaching job in Japan and started a new career, later moving to Qatar and Egypt.
Throughout all this time, Olly’s passion was learning foreign languages, and he taught himself eight languages. While living in the Middle East, he decided to channel this passion into creative output, and started a Wordpress blog teaching others techniques for learning foreign languages. Over the next 10 years, Olly grew his business from fledgling blog to multi-million dollar business, publishing dozens of books and becoming one of the most renowned language companies on the internet.
Today, Olly is involved in multiple successful education companies as an investor, mentor and advisor, but his passion is still teaching and working with others. His newsletter focuses specifically on helping 6-figure business owners make the leap to 7+ figures and beyond.

365. Episode #183: How answering the question “Are you Living Your Best Life?” led to Laura Liotta’s entrepreneurial journey
On today’s episode of the Entrepreneur Evolution Podcast, we are joined by Laura Liotta. For Laura Liotta, there's nothing new about the 'new' paradigm of female leadership. That’s because she re-imagined our way of working over two decades ago when she founded Sam Brown Inc. Healthcare Communications, one of few PR firms bringing together a team of independent agency owners to crowdsource complementary skill sets, collaborate on client work, and generate continual growth through countless economic downturns. Long before Zoom existed to support hybrid work or the term 'work/life balance' was even a thing, Laura was the first person to build a PR agency model with a network of industry experts all working remotely (since 1999!) Her intention was to offer her clients unparalleled senior strategy & service, all while providing her colleagues - many of whom were working mothers - a sense of personal AND professional fulfillment. Nearly 25 years later, Laura & her small-but-mighty team at Sam Brown Inc. are on track to generate billings of ~$15MM in 2023 alone. The agency has represented an extensive list of clients including a blockbuster migraine medication in collaboration with celebrity influencers (does the name Kardashian ring a bell?) and the only plant-derived cannabis drug ever approved by the FDA. Nearly 25 years ago, Laura could have written the guidebook on empowered feminine leadership, intrapreneurship and remote work, and she'd now love to provide your forward-thinking audience with unparalleled wisdom as a seasoned PR strategist and business trailblazer.

363. Episode #182: The journey from a college painting business to entrepreneurship with Kelley Thornton
On today’s episode of the Entrepreneur Evolution Podcast, we are joined by Kelley Thornton. Kelley Thornton was born and raised in Towson, MD. He moved to Brookfield, CT to finish up high school and start his first entrepreneurial pursuit, house painting. With the money he earned from the business he financed his college tuition at the University of Connecticut, where he would meet his future business partner and co-founder of Tiege Hanley, Rob Hoxie.
After college, Kelley entered the Metropolitan New York area workforce as a sales representative in the point-of-purchase display and packaging industry. A few years into his career he was tasked with developing a Chicago presence for his company, Phoenix Display & Packaging, which later became part of International Paper. He relocated to Chicago, IL in 1993 and continued his trajectory to National Accounts Manager and ultimately Regional Sales Manager.
After a successful 20-year-career in the throes of Corporate America, he left the industry to found his second company, Purchase Point LLC. Purchase Point helped CPG companies think differently about their in-store merchandising platforms. Growing quickly with global customers such as Unilever, Mars Wrigley, Bayer, and Pfizer, Kelley brought a creative approach to captivating consumers during the last seven seconds along their Path to Purchase.
Through his experience at Purchase Point, Kelley found the rapidly growing men’s care industry inspiring. In 2016 he stepped away to found his next company, Tiege Hanley, a 6-year-old e-commerce company with the mission of helping men look and feel amazing. The business has evolved from selling three distinct Skin Care Systems to boasting a wide variety of products, including deodorant, bar soap, body wash, and a detoxifying clay mask. Tiege shipped its 1.5 millionth box in July 2022 and has over 350,000 customers worldwide. Kelley is focused on enriching the experience for all customers and guiding men to healthier lifestyles founded on self-confidence.

343. Episode #172: Chris Mirabile on beating the odds
On today’s episode of the Entrepreneur Evolution Podcast, we are joined by Chris Mirabile. As a serial entrepreneur, brain tumor survivor, and the youngest winner of NYU Stern's business plan competition, Chris Mirabile is known for beating the odds.
His business success hit early with Hotlist, a startup that acquired nearly a quarter-billion people's social plans and caught the interest of both Google and Facebook. But when another business's underhanded dealings bankrupted his company, and an apartment break-in left him virtually penniless, Chris dropped from the high life to rock bottom.
Since that first success (and failure), Chris has co-founded multiple lucrative startups, including a commercial real estate tech platform whose first clients possessed more than a half trillion USD in assets.
His latest venture is NOVOS, the first nutraceutical company that targets the 12 biological causes of aging to promote healthy aging and extend the human lifespan, where he serves as CEO.
NOVOS includes a Scientific Advisory Board and Medical Advisory Board of seven of the world's top biologists, geneticists and MDs who study aging from Harvard Medical School, MIT, The Salk Institute, and more.
They've raised $3.15M in venture capital funding.
Chris has stayed grounded through the ups and downs in his business life by pursuing a lifelong passion – health and wellness – with an emphasis on avoiding disease (spurred by his encounter with a brain tumor), extending his healthy lifespan, and maximizing his performance and well-being.
Through a series of inexpensive lifestyle hacks focused on the latest longevity science, he has managed to reverse his biological age by more than 13 years. He is a 39-year-old with a biological age of around 26 and continues to age at a rate that's 31% slower than normal.
Chris has been featured in many leading media outlets, including New York Post, Daily Mail, Leaps.org, and Longevity.Technology, and conducted 50+ podcast interviews.

330. Express Tip #165: Facts Versus Assumption
Welcome to this week’s Entrepreneur Express Tip in 5 minutes or less! Today we are examining Facts vs. Assumption.
Too often I see people jumping to conclusions without the facts. They are assuming things and it’s derailing them and sometimes spinning their entire world out of control. Sometimes if you just hit the brakes, take a deep breath, collect the facts, and avoid jumping to conclusions/making assumptions, then you could avoid all those feelings.
We do not need more stress, worry or anxiety in our lives. Don’t make it self-induced. When you feel like you are assuming things you need to pause and ask yourself if this is facts or assumption. Don’t let yourself spiral by assuming the worst before you get all the facts. Once you do look at the facts you will be able to think clearly and make strong, confident decisions.
