Fear is one potential response to actual or perceived threats. Often it is fear that stands in the way of our potential, our desires, and our purpose. Facing our fears can be tough. It may be the hardest and darkest work we’ll ever do. Mike Valentine’s job is to help us face the fears that hold us back from what we would like to do and provide guidance to remove the obstacles from our path.

In this new era of connectivity, computer networks now have a greater strategic and economic impact than ever.

Stateless software platform enables data center operators to easily define and build a portfolio of elegant network connectivity solutions that can be cost effectively productized and operationalized at scale.

New Podcast Episode: Turning Over a New Leaf in Marketing
[fa icon="calendar'] 5/8/20 8:00 AM / by Kinley Donaldson posted in Colorado Entrepreneurs, Podcast, marketing, Industry Alchemist, CBD Industry, cannabis industry
When the cannabis industry was beginning to boom in Colorado, Josh Whitaker, already a seasoned marketing pro and entrepreneur, recognized this new industry had a critical need for his skill and experience. So, in 2015, Josh launched Team Maryjane, a company focused on developing and promoting cannabis brands, offering full-scale and fractional marketing packages. Team Maryjane soon managed to learn savvy tricks-of-the-trade to assist with sales, distribution, and order fulfillment specifically for CBD brands. Thus, Josh launched another company in 2019 dedicated exclusively to handling CBD clients. Fully Amplified is the first fully outsourced operations company for CBD brands! They have cultivated the best way to maximize their clients’ revenues and minimize expenses, hence “fully amplifying” every CBD brand. In this episode, Josh imparts how he plowed through the last several years of hard work building both niche marketing companies, navigated by his passion for marketing and incredible entrepreneurial spirit. (And somehow, through all of this, he still found the time to volunteer!)
New Podcast Episode: Reframing the Value of Legal Services
[fa icon="calendar'] 4/10/20 5:17 PM / by Kinley Donaldson posted in Colorado Entrepreneurs, Podcast, IndustryAlchemist, Fixed fees, legal counsel, business law, finance law, professional services, law firm
There are several ways to price professional services rendered and charging customers or clients for the time spent is a common approach. However, placing value on time rather than the service itself, often provokes us to ration every cent and consequently we may not receive optimum services. Stan Doida, Founder and Attorney at Doida Law Group is working to reframe the value of legal services so that clients can reap the maximum benefits of legal counsel, rather than fragmented or inaccurate counsel based on a very limited scope of information provided to the attorney. Stan's firm offers fixed fees which gives clients price certainty from the start and allows for a deeper, more strategic relationship. In this episode, Stan points out that taking time out of the equation of billing is mutually beneficial for the client and attorney because it encourages the client to provide the entire scope of a situation and as a result, the attorney can offer exceptional counsel. Listen to learn more about how the Doida Law Group is disrupting the legal industry and about the services they offer in Business and Finance Law.

Joshua Hunt was ready to speak his truth, but not everyone was ready to accept it. Listen as Joshua tells us what led him to leave his successful career with a national residential real estate firm and start his own. Additionally, TRELORA broke the mold of a traditional firm because Joshua’s vision was to make the home buying process more affordable. He structured TRELORA to utilize technology, task specialization, and flat commission fees. However, his revolutionary business model was not initially accepted by everyone in the real estate community. Despite violent backlash by some, TRELORA has been a great success!
