Thrilled to announce I’ve accepted the CEO role at Laundry Spot! @TylerPurcell24 and his partners have built something incredible and they’ve brought me on to help scale nationally via franchising. I’ll admit laundromats were not on my radar, but the more I learned about

When your child is born, create a dear(kidname) at gmail account. Then email them throughout their childhood with milestones, pictures, videos, memories, words of wisdom, etc…and give them the account log-in when they turn 18. Essentially documenting childhood from the

I believe we'll see (perhaps large) population shifts towards the Midwest over the next 25-50+ years. Michigan is one of the most slept on states in the country. No place is perfect, but: - Michigan is one of the most unique places on Earth - surrounded by 20% (!) of the

This is my friend Brandon. He started his toffee business in high school and has poured *everything* into it for 15 years. They make the best toffee on the planet by hand in their Palm Springs, CA facility. His entire family works there. Dad leads manufacturing. Mom does

Anyone who’s bought a Tesla knows the buying experience is immeasurably better than the traditional dealership model.

Home Depot and Lowe’s are sometimes located so close together they could practically (or in this pic, literally) share a parking lot. These stores are massive investments. Why wouldn't they spread out? I do a lot of retail site selection work – so I found this fascinating and

There is no chance old fashioned public golf will be dead in 5-10 years. Every single course within a 10 mile radius of me (even the lousy ones) are still packed.

A lot of you are missing the point. I'm not saying people should move to MI today. I'm simply saying over the LONG term (25-50+ yrs) climate change will intensify. And weather/natural disasters will be more extreme. So "Climate Haven" places will be well positioned.

Selling gift cards to Costco is an often overlooked strategy for local/regional businesses. We have 10 Corp stores in Pittsburgh and sold ~$300K of gift cards to the 3 local Clubs last year. You don't need to be a big national brand to do this! It just requires 2 things: 1)

Great post. I used to work for a F150 CPG food co. Lots of conversations about why Brand X was declining. The fact quality was consistently cut over many years to hit short term profit goals was rarely addressed. Turns out the quality of your product matters.

Consumers don’t always want more choices. We have a stand in PPG Paints Arena (home of the Penguins). In 2018 we launched with a streamlined menu of 5 shakes. At the time, narrowing our menu to only 5 shakes felt impossible. “What if people want mint, or caramel, or…?!” In

My partners always tell me I need to be more assertive when talking about my background and experience. It's not in my nature bc it feels like bragging, but I'm realizing it's important. Franchisees are not only buying our brand, they're also buying us. About me: CAREER -
