#RnRChat Season 2: Episode 5 - Antoni Tzavelas
It's all about the people. When you remove humans from the equation, you have nothing.
➡️ Antoni started off in the fashion industry as a designer and an entrepreneur. Selling his own label and he was a man of very many hats, he covered everything from sales to production. Business was comfortable and he absolutely loved what he was doing, as it was people that were driving what it was that he was doing.
➡️After being in business for 10+ years, the fashion industry took a turn for the worst and he had no choice but to reinvent himself. He went back to school and joined the field of IT.
➡️Since being in the IT industry for 15+ years, he has reinvented myself 3x over, with his current career being a technical trainer. Over the course of these 15+ years, he has noticed that the importance of humanity within the technology industry had started to diminish. This led to his mission and purpose to bring the human element that he experienced in fashion, back to the technology industry.

#RnRChat Season 2: Episode 2 - Cory Warfield
Cory worked in restaurants for 20 years before starting Shedwool, four years ago, out of a need that arose from the problem of on-call shifts being so terrible that they were becoming illegal.
#predictivescheduling
As an employee, changing schedules impact every facet of life, and as a manager and executive bonuses are contingent on controlling and forecasting labour.
The data existed to eliminate on-call shifts and to staff more efficiently, but nobody was doing it.
So he set out to create the simplest, easiest, most user-friendly and intuitive scheduling platform (web & mobile), and then using both in-house Artificial Intelligence / ML and partnering with incredible algorithm partners to power our interface, he has been able to bring to market an ecosystem that can help:
- Forecast labour & sales;
- Enhance employee morale & productivity;
- Reduce labour costs;
- Deliver employee rewards;
- Fulfil temporary labour needs;
- Train new hires;
- Automate pre-shift and sales meetings;
- Integrate with all current technology;
and so much more.
He also love being active on #LinkedIn and connecting people. Follow #coryconnects.
