Ep. 71 - The Honest "Political" Guide - Part III, feat. JinJa Birkenbeuel x Mary Nisi, Two Vibrant Entrepreneurs From Chicago

Season 3 · Episode 71

Sunday, September 29, 2024 • Duration 01:18:34

The Honest "Political" Guide - Part III, feat. JinJa Birkenbeuel x Mary Nisi, Two Vibrant Entrepreneurs From Chicago

I'm back with my little local politics conversations on my show with my fellow outspoken entrepreneur Mary Nisi, owner of Toast and Jams DJs. Mary and I are keeping this political conversation going.

So little time left to elect the next President of the United States. And it really needs to be Vice President Kamala Harris at this time in human history.

Mary and I break down the debate, and we talk about how Vice President Harris seems to have a propensity for small business owners (finally someone cares about us!!!). We also spend some time talking about Chicago's seeming disaster of a political space. It's just so awful! And I turned Mary on to a brand new search tool. Listen in to find out what it is!!!!

We have all these amazing digital tools now for leaders and entrepreneurs, I'm going to create little mini conversations specifically with Mary Nisi because Mary is someone I trust. She is also someone like me who tells things how she sees it, and she's honest, hence my show The Honest Field Guide. Mary speaks her truth and asks smart and sometimes really dumb questions just like me and I love that about her!

By the way, "Brand Chicago" is under attack. It's not only under attack from outside people that don't know anything about Chicago, but it's we're under attack from people that DO know about Chicago and it's almost like, is there something intentional happening here with the messaging? When did this negative message about Chicago start? Who started it? What's going on? We are going to keep finding the f out.

Ep 65 - How A Small Business Owner Can Innovate With Their Own Mini Supply Chain with Michelle Covey, Vice President at GS1 USA.mp4

Season 3 · Episode 65

Saturday, November 11, 2023 • Duration 01:06:25

Michelle Covey is here on my show today. She is the Vice President of Innovation at GS1US, where she overseas delivery of programs and services designed to support efficient and accurate GS1 standards implementation for companies of all sizes.

When you are a manufacturer or a retailer, you need an authentic way to identify your products if you want to sell them in stores or major online marketplaces. I'm here today to talk to Michelle a little bit about that.

Here are some GS1 Resources for you to learn more about the GS1 Standards:

GEPIR (look up GTINs) - https://www.gs1us.org/tools/gs1-company-database-gepir
Homepage: www.gs1us.org
Small Business Hub: https://www.gs1us.org/small-business
AI Whitepaper: https://www.gs1us.org/articles/generative-ai-in-the-supply-chain

Where can an entrepreneur find specific and easy step-by-step instructions on how to join GS 1?

https://www.gs1us.org/upcs-barcodes-prefixes/how-to-get-a-upc-barcode
From GS1 standpoint, what is the primary benefit to opening my own GS1 account (as a small business owner) versus just buying one as needed, from an e-commerce entity (Amazon, Shopify, etc.), as I go?

GS1 identifiers (like GTINs) are globally-accepted identification numbers, and are different from the internal numbering systems that Shopify or Amazon use (Amazon’s is called an ASIN, for example, and can be confused with GTIN). Each are important to indexing a product and making sure it is able to be discovered on each platform. It benefits a small business owner to open a GS1 account because they can ensure they meet a variety of retailer requirements and sell globally.

New Limited Edition Talk Show: The Honest "Political" Guide - Part I., feat. Two Vibrant Entrepreneurs From Chicago [JinJa Birkenbeuel x Mary Nisi]

Thursday, October 19, 2023 • Duration 51:12

The city of Chicago right now is feeling really, really awkward to me.

I don't know what's happening here or, what we need to do. But I want to talk about this awkwardness, so I decided to incorporate these little local politics conversations on my show with my fellow outspoken entrepreneur Mary Nisi, owner of Toast and Jams DJs.

Chicago: What the fuck is happening here? UGH. Everything right now seems so out of range from "normal" if that is even such a thing in Chicago, and seemingly so out of control.

So, because we have all these amazing digital tools now for leaders and entrepreneurs, I'm going to create little mini conversations specifically with Mary Nisi because Mary is someone I trust. She is also someone like me who tells things how she sees it, and she's honest, hence my show The Honest Field Guide. Mary speaks her truth and asks smart and sometimes really dumb questions just like me and I love that about her!

Mary and I are going to keep this conversation going. Plus, we're heading into a political season, local and nationally. We're not going to focus on geopolitics, we aren't qualified for that. We're going to really keep this conversation local, because politics IS local!

Brand Chicago is under attack. It's not only under attack from outside people that don't know anything about Chicago, but it's we're under attack from people that DO know about Chicago and it's almost like, is there something intentional happening here with the messaging? When did this negative message about Chicago start? Who started it? What's going on? I'm going to find the f out. Right now.

Ep. 63 Every Gen Z Entrepreneur Needs To Listen Up to Matt Burzec, Sneakerhead and Founder, Kicks of Chicago

Season 2 · Episode 63

Saturday, May 6, 2023 • Duration 55:51

I interviewed Matt Burzec at the start of the pandemic. He was a senior in high school, and had so many plans that withered away. The one plan that didn't was his nascent dream of entrepreneurship. Little did he know, that my initial interview of him in mid 2020, would spark his long view entrepreneurship journey, one that would send him to University of Wisconsin for his undergraduate degree, while balancing out the launch of even move ventures, combined with hiring staff and formalizing his corporation. Gen Z needs to listen up and take some lessons, but then all entrepreneurs should learn from Matt!
