#thePawdcast

Imagine living without a safe home, having your family exposed to life-threatening dangers, no clean water, living in your own filth. This is real life for over 828 million families living in slums without adequate housing, in need of a better solution. With this understanding Brett Hagler of New Story Charity knew he needed to help find a solution. His solution came in the form of a nonprofit — New Story Charity. Not only would it provide incredible housing to those who need it the most, but it would also provide them with clean water, sanitation, and protection. And the best part; the ability for New Story Charity to do this at scale for countless families. We talk with Brett, our first nonprofit guest, about making a difference, turning the nonprofit sector inside out, his time at Y Combinator, operating with transparency, hiring the best, and the very important partnerships that make creating new, sustainable housing at low costs a reality.

In less than four years, Simon Payne's company grew from just two other founders and himself; to over one hundred and fifty employees worldwide, with over $38,000,000.00 in venture capital raised.

We're joined this week by Simon, the founder of both LeadPages and his newest company, ConvertPlayer, to discuss all things partnership, entrepreneurship, scaling, generating venture capital, creating revenue, and maximizing efficiency and output with large teams.

We're joined this week on #thePawdcast with entrepreneur, football fanatic, shoe connoisseur, and finance enthusiast, Cole Oliver, to discuss CHDR, a free, automatic financial management startup that helps you make the most out of your money. Cole founded CHDR (pronounced cheddar) to solve a real issue that he was facing as a college student. Spending too much money after a night on the town, he wanted to understand better his purchasing habits. The solution? CHDR, the app. CHDR breaks down your personal spending habits, where you’re spending the most money, the major sinkholes draining your bank account without ever noticing, and helps you make small corrections over time. Cole also details how he crafted a technical product with little to no technical experience, claimed the #1 spot on ProductHunt’s homepage, and raised a little over $1,000,000 from investors in less than a year. Prepare not only to be inspired this episode, #PawdcastNation but to be better budgeters, and budget conscious folks too. So without further ado, Episode 038 of #thePawdcast with Cole Oliver of CHDR!

It's remarkable to think how underrated communication is when it comes to leadership, management, and of course, entrepreneurship. Most aren’t taking the time to appreciate this skill, or more importantly, learn to better apply this incredible asset to their daily lives. Without being able to communicate properly, express feelings, and share ideas, no matter how talented your team is, no matter how driven you are, you're setting yourself up to fail. That is why this week's episode of #thePawdcast is so exciting for us to bring to you, #PawdcastNation. This week we’re bringing you one of the top speech pathologists in the world. Erik X. Raj joins us to discuss how you can become a better communicator through the use of the written word, your vocals, and body language! Erik is a fully certified speech-language pathologist (Ph.D., CCC-SLP) that works with school-aged children with verbal language and articulation deficiencies. Erik is also a professional speaker, entrepreneur, and app developer. We’ll dive deep into Erik's upbringing, what put him on his path to becoming a speech pathologist, learning and pursuing app development, and becoming a better communicator. This episode will provide you the perfect blend of actionable steps, insights, and motivation to succeed. With that said and without further ado, enjoy Episode 036 of #thePawdcast with the renowned, Jersey-native, Erik X. Raj!
