Business In Boardshorts CT Kaupp

EP51: There's a new sub shop in St Petersburg, FL and it's called Gateway Subs - brought to life by Grant Strayer and a few of his college buddies. You will find artisan sandwiches, salads, vegan shakes, and coffee.

The team behind it are epicureans who value good business and treat people as people.

But the sub sub is only the beginning...

Grant wants to take people that don’t see college as their path and grow them into whatever it is they want to be -  whether an entrepreneur or not. One of his many goals is to bring back the culture of supporting a family of four off a high school degree.

EP50: Today we are talking with Valerie Savercool (one half of the wife-and-husband photographer team) that specializes in planning and documenting adventurous elopement days in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and world-wide.

They have carved out a space within the wedding industry that strips down wedding days to what really matters – the couple getting married. 

From sunrise hikes in national parks, to evenings spent watching the sunset from a hot air balloon basket, Wander Kings helps couples design intimate wedding days that are stress-free, adventurous, and meaningful.

EP48: Today we are headed to Los Angeles, CA to talk to John Lehr - a comedic performer, writer and producer that has worked in television, film, and theater.
He was one of the original Geico Caveman from the wildly successful commercial campaign, starred as Leslie Pool in "10 Items or Less" from Sony on TBS, and as Sheriff Hoyle on Hulu’s original comedy western "Quickdraw".

Under the banner of Howler Monkey Productions, John and producing partner Nancy Hower have created multiple projects, most involving their unique improvisationally-based “hybrid” style.

John also created "Cold. Sober. Comedy." where he performs standup and MC’s at corporate events, fundraisers, non-profits, and sober communities. He talks about his personal/career struggles, his continuing sober journey and the importance of an authentic sense of humor.

EP47: We are headed to St. Petersburg, FL to talk with Kevin Sampl with Reef & Reel.

R&R is an up and coming fishing apparel brand that is soon to open it's flagship brick and mortar store in sunny St. Pete, FL.

It will be a one-stop full tackle and apparel shop. They have everything you need for all of your days and nights on the sea and sand.

R&R is more than a brand, it's a lifestyle.

EP46: Ex-tech guy from the San Francisco Bay Area, Jeff Shardell becomes a storm chaser and ends up landing in Taos, New Mexico.

Trying to detoxify his life, he stumbled upon how bad traditional antiperspirants are for you. None of the natural deodorants worked well for him so he decided to start mixing his own in his kitchen.

Six years, a company rebrand (from Jeff's Pit Butter) and millions of sticks of deodorant later, Humble Brands has become the fastest selling natural deodorant on the market.
