BOOK LAUNCH ON PITCHWERKS! BOOK LAUNCH ON PITCHWERKS!
Rachel's 18 month journey is about to take a giant leap forward!
This week we hear from Rachel Reid, the young, driven founder of Subtl Beauty (subtlbeauty.com), and then starting tomorrow (9/20/2018) we will all be able to follow along in real life, in real time to see how her Kickstarter product launch fares. Rachel’s an open book. She shares a number of useful anecdotes about how a fairly risk-averse corporate employee moved on to build a company, a product line and a pitch out of a hack she put together just for her own life. Listen to the show and then - starting tomorrow - follow Rachel’s journey through Kickstarter to find out whether that pitch resonates with real customers.
Lots of laughs this week! Nadyli is a warm soul, on an important mission.
Fun show this week, as Nadyli Nuñez and Scot MacTaggart enjoy each other's company, perhaps too much! The fast friends talk about the UpPrize pitch competitions, the well-funded and socially responsible results of the combined efforts of BNY Mellon and the Forbes Funds to empower people that are working to assist non-profits and at-risk populations. Nadyli is a great guest, serving up a buoyant enthusiasm as well as shrewd analysis as she explains how UpPrize got where it is now, and how the program plans to expand.
Break out the bubbly - we're celebrating Pitchwerks #100!
Holy hell, we made it. Episode 100. We decided against making too big of a thing about it. In fact, this would be a totally regular show if we weren’t drinking champagne. Staying fairly true to form though, we drank the champagne out of whiskey tasting glasses, and talked to our old friend Kenny Chen about how he might pitch the speakers and panels at this year’s Thrival Festival to the people who might not have thought about attending. Kenny’s been up to a lot since we last spoke to him, getting a title bump to “Innovation Director” at Ascender / Thrival, getting deeply involved as an XPrize ambassador, and even working with the United Nations on AI for Good initiatives. Kenny’s a tremendous person, and we’re glad he joined us for our biggest milestone yet.
