Neal started his company after his 4-year-old son asked him for an Elf on the Shelf while shopping in a department store in 2012. The moment he spoke his alternate suggestion out loud the veritable light bulb clicked loud and clear. He had been looking for ways to teach his young kids Jewish traditions. He told his son that, “Jews don’t have an Elf on the Shelf, they have a mensch on a bench.” Little did he know this would be very true in less than a year and a half.

    Laura D'Asaro - Chirps - Episode 09

    When craving a snack with protein we don’t necessarily think of chips or cookies first and if you are an American you most likely don’t pull crickets from the pantry. Three Harvard graduates Laura D’Asaro, Rose Wang, and Meryle Natow are trying to change that. Crickets are high in protein, easily sourced, can be ground into flour form. This trio of entrepreneurs are offering crickets in tasty forms such as barbeque chips and chocolate chip cookies. In the process, they are trying to create a revolution in the American food culture.

    Calvin Carter - Bottle Rocket - Part 2 - Episode 08

    Calvin Carter had always been entrepreneurial. He comes from a long line of entrepreneurs. After college he attempted to work for a large corporation. However, this didn’t last long because, in his words, his “entrepreneurial tendencies took over”. These tendencies led to many entrepreneurial successes as well as failures. He reached a turning point in 2008, when a keynote speech by Steve Jobs would change his life. Apple announced the opening of the app store and nearly instantaneously Calvin started his mobile app development company Bottle Rocket. In year 1, he and a handful of contracted developers would limp along to create 8 apps. Despite the uncertainty, Calvin kept pushing. In 2009, NPR hired Bottle Rocket to develop their mobile app which changed the vision and trajectory of the company. Learn More at bottlerocketstudios.com | selery.com
