    Sumit Ajwani, Founder and Executive Producer at Makers on Decoding Entrepreneurs

    My guest for this episode is Sumit Ajwani, founder and executive producer at Makers, a collective of producers who bring together designers, musicians, writers, developers, film makers, directors, and many other creators to make anything. From movies and experiential installations, to animation and digital campaigns, Sumit and his industry experts embrace the challenge of answering the uncommon ask for global brands. The vision Sumit developed for Makers is a complete rewrite of the creative and production process in the marketing industry.  Makers flips the model by replacing the entire edifice with one person: a Producer. A Producer works with a client to identify exactly what they need. With the Producer and Client working together, they bring the right specialists they need at the right moment to bring a creative idea to life. In this model, the Producer becomes the entrepreneur and the work becomes human-centric. Sumit’s disruptive model, in less than 5 years, has seen Makers grow from 2 people to 50+ producers in Toronto, LA and New York, making it the largest collective of Producers in North America. Makers has become a force in Canada and an emerging force on the world stage, tackling that which seems impossible, using collaboration and unconventional thinking to conceive, execute, and deliver projects for clients as diverse as WWF-Canada, Amazon Prime, and Habitat for Humanity. Here's the link to the BMW M5 Bullet Commercial discussed in the episode:  https://youtu.be/ZDuxWGHA-Z4  You can find Sumit at: www.makers.to instagram.com/sumit.ca linkedin.com/in/sumitproducer I’d love to hear your feedback or any questions….or suggestions you may have.

    Matt Orlove, founder & CEO of ORLOVE on Decoding Entrepreneurs

    My guest for this episode is Matt Orlove, founder & CEO of ORLOVE.  No stranger to live music events and entertainment, Matt is responsible for creating, crafting and partnering on some of the most sought after parties throughout the U.S. and in 40 markets spanning over 250 parties per year; including events such as Wicked Paradise, Panic in L.A., BarCrawlerZ, Dreamboat, Daft BRUNCH, just to name a few. Matt’s 15 plus year background in entertainment and lifestyle events has helped catapult ORLOVE into a multi-million dollar, premium GO-TO BRAND, synonymous with world renowned music, artists and venues, and continues to expand nationally and internationally, making ORLOVE one of the fastest growing event brands globally.  And all of this in just a few short years since moving from New York City to Los Angeles and founding his own company in 2014. ORLOVE's commitment to the audience’s overall experience has been the key to the company’s success. “It’s all about how guests feel when they come to one of our parties and how they connect with the music and the ambience. We want them to leave their world and become a part of a whole new one, even if for just a short period of time." Covid 19 has obviously had a big impact across the whole entertainment industry, and I’ll talk to Matt about how ORLOVE has responded by diversifying into new and exciting channels, and is bridging the gap between music genres, fans and artists worldwide.

    Ben Goodwin, cofounder, CEO and formulator at Olipop PBC, Part 2 on Decoding Entrepreneurs

    Welcome to part 2 of this special 2 part episode of Decoding Entrepreneurs, featuring my guest is Ben Goodwin.  If you haven't yet listened to Part 1, I encourage you to do so first. Ben is the cofounder, CEO and formulator at Olipop PBC, which manufacturers a line of premium carbonated soft drinks that feature prebiotics, botanicals, and plant fiber in a low calorie and low sugar format. Even though Ben isn’t Canadian, but rather a native Californian, his story intrigued me so much that I had to have him on as a guest, as it will no doubt also resonate with many of you.  Ben’s primary passion is to bridge the gap between niche cutting-edge health trends and mainstream consumer needs and to increase the impact and accessibility of products in the health and wellness space. He’s built three different formulation and fermentation labs, and has formulated over 30 products from concept to commercialization and beyond. The other reason this episode is special is that Ben and I delve into some of his early childhood experiences with abuse, depression, and mental health, and the life-shaping, and certainly the transformative journey that Ben has taken. Ben has clearly overcome those early challenges, and the hope is that any of you listening that may have or are still facing similar challenges can feel inspired and empowered with what’s possible, and apply some of things Ben did to overcome and accomplish the things he has. You can find Ben at: drinkolipop.com I’d love to hear your feedback or any questions….or suggestions you may have. You can find me at: tomasschmidt.com twitter.com/spotr
