Bio

An entrepreneurial underdog since day one, raised in a broke, blue-collar family. Perceived as a dumb kid that was never given a chance. Although everyone doubted him, he believed in himself.

It all started 23 years ago, Zack’s grandma sent him a birthday check for 100 dollars, the same price of a lawnmower. That’s when Zack had an itch, an itch to do more with his life. At a time when his family couldn’t afford a new lawnmower, he took the check and bought a lawnmower.

Rather than just mow his lawn, he chose mow the lawns of his neighbors. In the lawn care world, as soon as you spot an ugly lawn, you’ve identified a potential customer. So, he walked up as a young 10 year old and knocked on the doors of those houses. “Hi, I’m Zack your neighbor, your lawn needs to be mowed, can I cut it for 15 bucks?” For the past 23 years, Zack has modeled his life the same way. Find the problem, do the job, get the cash.

If you don’t find the right target customer, you’d be just like Zack listening to his mom when he was in 7th grade. He was told he was a marvelous singer, by his mother. Taking that comment to heart, he thought he’d be a good candidate to join the Junior High School’s chorus. But, his mother wasn’t basing her opinion on any professional singing experience, she just did what all loving mothers do, and gave blind encouragement. 

So, Zack went to the chorus audition, ready to blow the judges away with his brilliant singing, only to be stopped short by one of the judges who called his singing “terrible.” Instead of singing in front of someone who would give real feedback, Sharon Miller provided the love a mother does.

Business is different than a mother’s love. Zack needed the truth. One of the most important keys to business is getting in front of the right people. Zack’s mom, was not his target customer, so she didn’t give him valuable insight. Just like if you’re building an app to help chefs, you should only try to get feedback and insight from chefs who would use the product. Not your brother-in-law who considers himself a foodie.

Zack has hit rock bottom a lot. And not just in 7th grade learning he sucks at singing.

• He started an accelerator before they were overplayed and everywhere, raised cash from the team who started the Weather Channel and AutoTrader and a bunch of old white guys, invested in 13 companies and fell flat on his face. Basically losing all of their money from the fund.
• He tried throwing a national conference and lost $50k

Fast forward to 2010. Zack was growing a technology company and he didn’t know what to do next. Where to network, how to get more clients or even how to convince prospects he knew what he was talking about. And to be honest, he didn’t. Yet. He was fresh into his rejuvenated career in business after leaving the world of journalism.

Although he didn’t have a business degree or “business” skills, he had the street smarts. He was hungry, and willing and he immersed himself into the business world. Specifically, startups.

His business network started at 0. Slowly but surely, he was able to build meaningful relationships with powerful people. He was making a name for himself in the business community by hosting his own events and meetups.

This paid off when he became the youngest person on the Inside Business Power List and featured in Entrepreneur Magazine as a contributor to the rise of the Norfolk Startup Community.

He did this by listening, meeting and hustling. By learning from others and raising his hand when an opportunity arose. Zack knew that business would be tough, but if he stuck around patiently and went after his goals, he would accomplish them.

Zack helped build the startup community in Norfolk from ground zero. But, he noticed that a lot of the best companies started in Hampton Roads were leaving for other cities, and bringing the region’s best talent with them. So, he started traveling around the country other small business communities to see what they were doing to help facilitate entrepreneurship and growth for young companies.

Also, He started several meetups with different groups of people so that they could learn from each other and hopefully facilitate some growth in their perspective areas. One for entrepreneurs, one for designers, one for developers, etc. Then he thought, “What if we got all of these people into the same room, and held a business competition.” And then, Start Norfolk was born.

Start Norfolk was an event where people would pitch ideas they had for a business. Then a panel of judges would decide which ideas were best. From there. the winning ideas would build teams of designers, developers, marketers, etc. to bring that idea to life over the span of a few days.

Miller had hoped that the first event would bring in 50 people. To his surprise, 180 people showed up, and 40 different ideas were pitched. Zack organized 5 of these events over the course of the next few years. The event had thousands of people show up, and hundreds of businesses were pitched, some of which are still alive and thriving today.

After more and more companies started buying memberships to 1000 Four, Zack had another brilliant idea. He noticed that the majority of the companies joining 1000 Four were local to Southeastern Virginia. He thought about ways to expand into other communities around the country, and 1000 Four Communities (1FC) was born.

1FC gives organizations, schools, and cities across the country access to the resources and online community that will help them grow the businesses in their own communities.

Real Dose Nutrition & Baby Bath Water

Video Interview

Coming Soon

Bio

Are you the type of entrepreneur who is selective about who you associate with, love to learn, need some help growing and scaling (especially with digital)? Then the Baby Bathwater Institute is for you. It won’t restore your grey hairs to their natural color… but it might just be what’s needed to go to the next level… and cure entrepreneurial loneliness.

Michael Lovitch has always been interested in the brain, starting with his graduate school thesis on hypnosis as a normal avenue for human communication. Not the weird mystic guru kinds of things…he doesn’t believe in that stuff. But he focused on the good people with good expectations, and helped launch The Hypnosis Network. He’d seen all kinds of people selling quack hypnosis programs on the internet, and thought he could offer something real. If Michael is anything, it’s real. So when he started consulting with doctors for The Hypnosis Network, he saw them cutting corners with supplements and couldn’t understand why they’d do that. Well, aside from a little thing called money…because, sadly, for too many out there it’s all about the bottom line.

Fast forward a bit and Michael co-founds RealDose with Doctor Steve, a supplement company focused on giving you the exact dose of the exact plant species using the exact same extraction process as was used in the double-blind studies proving the herb’s effectiveness on real human beings. Unlike the guys on late-night TV advertising free trials of their miracle elixir for just $4.95 shipping and handling, Michael takes his supplements very seriously.

To say Peter is ambitious is a colossal understatement. He is on a mission to shift our culture & has started a movement to empower America’s aspiring entrepreneurs & give them the tools & strategies necessary to elevate every area of not only their business but their life.

Peter’s entrepreneurial career started at an early age when he had the passion and vision to start his first business when he was only a mere 15-years old. However, he found himself broke, stressed, & discouraged by the age of 22. Less than six months later, after making drastic changes to his mindset, lifestyle, & business strategies, he made his first 6-figure income at the age of 23. Only a short 3 years later, he saw his earnings skyrocket past the 7-figure level. Despite the challenge of lacking both experience & training, he then duplicated his strategy in another industry with the same extraordinary results & became the fastest manager ever to reach $1 million in annual sales. Even though he was presented with unlimited opportunity in this sales position, he quickly realized he had a much bigger mission in life. He has used his success formula to not only create his own business & brand, but has started an unprecedented movement with a single resounding aim to help ambitious entrepreneurs elevate to new heights & succeed on a level they never thought possible.

Peter’s been labeled as the world’s leading authority for millennials& entrepreneurs by Entrepreneur.com; founder of the prestigious Game Changer’s Academy; award-winning author (40-time international best-seller “6 Months to 6 Figures”); & creator of “The Young Entrepreneur Lifestyle” podcast. Peter’s strategies have been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, Huffington Post, Business Insider, Time.com, & many other publications. The crux of Peter’s influential mindset is based on a simple, yet powerful philosophy that the more people you are able to influence & help succeed, the more successful you in turn, will become.

Lean as in Lean Manufacturing is about eliminating waste in the production and delivery of a known value to a knowncustomer. Lean Startup is about eliminating waste in discovering what
value you are creating, how you deliver it, and to whom.

This is the primary theme of my book,
The Lean Entrepreneur. Co-author Patrick Vlaskovits and I break down why lean, why now, how to, and provide extraordinary examples of extraordinary entrepreneurs applying these principles inside and outside tech, in big companies and startups.

I am a happy Papa, loyal brother, and
appreciative son. I play a little guitar and
sing loudly in the car. I strive to enjoy life
and not take myself too seriously.

Introduction

Daniel J. Lewis is an Internet entrepreneur, award-winning podcaster and podcast consultant

Bio

As an award-winning podcaster, Daniel J. Lewis helps others launch and improve their own podcasts for sharing their passions and succeeding in business. Daniel designs websites; offers one-on-one consulting; speaks on technology, social media, and theology; and Daniel hosts a network of award-nominated shows covering how to podcast and use Audacity, clean-comedy, and the #1 unofficial podcasts for ABC’s hit dramas Once Upon a Time and Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.

I host Internet radio shows (podcasts)

A podcast is like a radio show, but you can download or stream it through the Internet and listen to it whenever and wherever you want. I personally host four popular podcasts on the Noodle.mx Network:

• a clean-comedy podcast,
• a “how-to” podcast about podcasting and using Audacity,
• Movie reviews with critical thinking for Christians(currently on hiatus), and
• a Once Upon a Timepodcast.

Please subscribe to my podcasts and send your feedback!

I discovered the world of podcasting back in 2004, and have truly loved it. I am not one hundred percent sure, but I believe I was probably one of the first hundred podcasters on the planet. Recently while at a Social Media event in Las Vegas someone addressed me as a podcasting pioneer. While it was meant as a compliment, it made me laugh deep down inside. I don’t think I qualify as a pioneer at anything.

Podcasting has been very good to me. Due to podcasting my business is stronger, my friends have increased, and my life in general is better. I know those statements may sound crazy, but they are 100% true. Podcasting has defiantly changed my life for the better.

As you may know, I publish a magazine for the sport of Fastpitch Softball. I have been publishing The Fastpitch Softball Magazine for eighteen months now. The feedback has been fantastic.

Since there is not a magazine for podcasting at this time, I decided to start a podcast magazine. I have down all the basics of publishing an online magazine so why not give it a try.

The name of my podcast magazine is Podertainment. In case you are wondering, you take the words pod, and entertainment. Then you put them together to form the word Podertainment. You can find more information at https://Podertainment.com

I speak at conferences

WordPress, web design, podcasting, social media, and Christian apologetics and theology are my favorite topics to share for an audience. Here are some of my most recent speaking engagements:

• PodCamp Cleveland,
• PodCamp Ohio,
• Answers in Genesis’ Creation College,
• WordCamp Louisville,
• New Media Cincinnati,
• PodCamp Cincinnati, and

BlogWorld and New Media Expo 2012.

I design podcast cover art

Podcasts need great cover art, and I specialize in high-quality, custom podcast cover art design. Here are some of my favorites.

I design websites

I’m a full-time, freelance web designer for hire. I employ the latest technologies of CSS3 and provide the option of a mobile-friendly website. But my designs also work in older browsers. I prefer WordPress.
