    Need more beer? Let a gopher get it

    Stuff In This Episode:  Gopher is an on-demand marketplace for services, they are a dual platform. They have the Gopher Request App where you can make an offer for how much you think is fair for what you're asking for. Gopher will then broadcast that request out to a bunch of "gophers" on the Gopher Go App and they will see with full transparency how much they are going to make, what they need to do and when and where, and if it works for them, the two are brokered in the app. The work is done very quickly. And the gopher is paid immediately after. Everyone is happy.Tom talks about how the company was started and how other similar apps were using the technology and how they thought they could bring unique value. The requestor sets the value and it also empowers the "gopher" to pick and choose with full transparency what they want to do.Gopher is creating equilibrium between supply and demand in the gig economy.Delivery, alcohol and tobacco, groceries are popular requests on the app. So is junk removal.John shares some pretty unique things people have used the platform to accomplish. One story of a man who asked someone to come pick up an injured bunny during his kid's birthday party, and upon following up the bunny survived and was released back into nature.John talks about how he has done over 500 requests with other companies to learn how much money gets passed down. One company charged $100 and paid him $40. Where does that other $60 go? Gopher takes $1.99 to make a request and 8% of the total. So in that case the worker would have made $90 out of the $100. Many of the current food apps will take the restaurant's menu and mark it up before selling it on their platform. Gopher doesn't mark up restaurant prices or try to take more out of the hands of the gopher. So restaurants get their full margins and workers get more money. Right now they have over 15,000 downloads and ramping up to a series of 18 months worth of enhancements that will make the platform better for everyone involved.

    eSports in Cary, Maybe we should tell our kids to play more video games?

    Contender eSports Cary was opened in October 2020 by Caleb Smith and Vinny Smith. As a top-rated esports gaming center, Contender eSports Cary is The Triangle area’s go-to facility for online gaming training, workshops, tournaments, open play, and more. Caleb talks about his background and how he and his company decided that Cary was a good place for them to set up their business. Caleb played soccer overseas and what living in Germany for 3 years. We talk about his experiences in a multicultural city. Joe and Caleb talk about how the view of video games has changed from when they were younger. There is more opportunity for gamers to be able to make money and to get scholarships more than there ever was before. When Josh and Joe were kids they would get in trouble for playing video games too much, playing games was considered lazy and their parents would tell them to go outside and play as if video gameplay was bad for them. Interested in checking out eSports in Cary, Caleb talks about the ages of the kids who can join, how to join, and more in-depth about the whole joining process. Caleb talks about how you don't even need to be in a team you can work your way up to the top by yourself in eSports. Caleb talks about how e-sports are different from regular sports as companies own the games so they have to be careful in how they navigate some things. They all talk about how streams and youtube videos are up and coming and how it is beneficial to be able to teach kids how to do things like coding and editing those types of things.

    Florian Neuhauser of RoadRUNNER Motorcycle & Touring Travel Magazine

    2020 was a year filled with ups and downs for RoadRUNNER magazine, but 2021 begins on a big note for our guest, and new editor and chief, Florian Neuhauser. Florian breaks down why RoadRUNNER is continuing to grow while many other competitors in their industry are closing their doors. They consider themselves a travel magazine, they don't just focus on the machines. Reviews have become an online resource for many motorcycle enthusiasts where travel content and tours are evergreen content. We also talk about the navigation app called RoadRUNNER rides. This allows users to take part in the many tours that you have read about in the magazine over the years. Florian shares about the history of the magazine. His parents were photographers and avid motorcycle riders in Austria. When they moved to the US, they found themselves shooting weddings. His father noticed a lack in the market for a different kind of magazine and decided to launch it (even though English is not their first language.)  RoadRUNNER is a premium magazine and they attribute their success to avid fans and readers. "People that want to work, put forth a completely different effort than people that work just for a paycheck."

    John Samuel - a blind entrepreneur with vivid insight

    John is the Co-Founder and CEO of Ablr, he and his team are focused on helping organizations become more inclusive by making digital content accessible for people of all abilities.  John's passion comes from the fact that he is blind himself, and was often locked out of opportunities in my education, career, and daily life, because of digital accessibility barriers.  Hear some amazing stories of entrepreneurship, inclusion, and overcoming in this episode. Ablr was born from an exciting joint venture between LCI and Walk West. Its story began in 2017 when I joined LCI, one of the largest employers of Americans who are blind, when I was asked to start a new business focused on technology services – which resulted in the launch of LCI Tech.  When websites and applications are designed with inclusion and accessibility principles, the result is a more usable and enjoyable experience for everyone, and benefits businesses with a larger market, lower legal risk, and greater brand value.
