    Neil Shah / Oru

    After selling his company, Neil Shah took a break and found his next startup while sitting by his woodstove. That moment led to Oru, a woodstove-monitoring system that embodies a beautiful lamp. The catch? Neil knew nothing about woodstoves. He turned to Reddit, learning from the community that would eventually become his first customers, with more than 1,700 people now on the waitlist. A software engineer turned hardware founder, Neil's story is a reminder that some of the best startups begin by solving a problem you experience yourself. Hosted on Acast.

    Jason Levinthal / J Skis

    Jason “J” Levinthal started making skis in his parents' garage at the age of 24. After founding a company, seeing it acquired, and realizing he wasn’t built to sit still, he launched J Skis, a direct-to-skier brand creating hand-crafted, limited-edition skis. With a background in brand marketing, J’s goal is to turn heads on the mountain and beyond, from brand partnerships to collaborations with musicians. He’s been through nearly every lesson that shapes a founder. Tune in, clip in, strap in. No matter how you ride, lock in. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Jason Wilbur / WILBUR

    Jason Wilbur is the founder of Wilbur, a luxury watch company. He joins the show to talk about what it really takes to break from the expected and build something entirely your own. After leading advanced design at Honda, Jason walked away to create what he calls “mechanized art”— a bold reimagining of luxury rooted in craftsmanship, rebellion, and individuality. Inspired by the counterculture of snowboarding and skateboarding, he shares a candid look at building a brand with edge, navigating the realities of high-cost hardware innovation, and embracing the “creative survival” mindset required to keep going. Don’t skip this one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Chelsea Bardot Lewis / VBSR

    We sat down with our friend Chelsea Bardot Lewis, the Executive Director of Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility (VBSR). She’s steering VBSR into its next chapter by doubling down on in-person connection, pragmatic advocacy around housing, healthcare, workforce, and climate resilience, and building a stronger, more generous Vermont business ecosystem! We loved hearing her passion for the workforce in this state. This is one that e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e should listen to. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
