This is the inspiring story of Jan Guenther, the owner of GearWest ( a specialty store focusing on cross-country skis, nordic skis, running, biking, apparel, and accessories). Discover how Jan took the leap from working all day and going to business school at night to starting her own bike store. Appreciate her insights on how Jan learned all she could about the outdoor sports industry by getting involved in the sports she was selling gear for. And resonate with her solid appreciation for the crucial role the customer plays in your business and how to take good care of them. How did Jan get the word out there about her business in a pre-Internet time? What would Jan do differently if she could start over? And how did Jan succeed as a woman in such a male-dominated industry? Young asks some probing questions of Jan that take us back to an appreciation of old-fashioned values that involve doing the work yourself and then becoming a role model to others over time. And the bonus is that you build a successful business where your customers want to connect with you as you grow! Please join us in this delightful conversation.

Have you ever tried a product or supplement that promises to boost your energy levels or improve your health and after taking it, you're just not sure it's even worked? How about when you've taken a Vitamin B complex supplement and you've noticed neon yellow pee afterward? A lot of companies are making products that have the 'right' ingredients on the label, but just not in a state our bodies can fully absorb. Imagine a glass of chocolate milk where half the powder remains at the bottom of your cup when you’re finished! We’ve all been there. LIX is a world-leading patented technology making active ingredients completely water-soluble in a shelf-stable state. And in today's informative episode of Chicago Business Review, our host Young Lee is chatting with the CEO of LIX Brands, Dan Margenau. The headline here is that LIX is the technology you need if you're looking to create an infused product of any kind for the retail market. From cannabinoids and functional mushrooms to nootropics and essential oils, LIX's patented technology enables a new world of possibilities for the formulation of infused products. Unlike traditional emulsification techniques, LIX fully dissolves, leaves no residue on the surface, and nothing settles out to the bottom of the container. Learn about LIX's white-label business modality, why Dan is so passionate about building relationships in his industry, and the danger of snake oil salesmen in a candid conversation that will encourage you to get out of your comfort zone as an entrepreneur. Please join us.
