In 2016, Co-Founders Danny Winer and Cole Mecray launched the groundbreaking hybrid cookware brand – combining stainless steel and non-stick in a way that no other cookware brand had done before. The scrappy duo completely self-funded the company by emptying their savings accounts, draining their 401Ks and maxing-out credit cards, and they originally packaged orders by hand and made deliveries in their personal vehicles. Everyone told them that a DTC model “would never work,” but Danny and Cole knew they could disrupt the market. Fast forward to 2024, HexClad is outpacing the competition due to its patented technology, beautiful design and high-quality product innovation. HexClad is the first company to successfully marry stainless steel with non-stick, producing a “best of both worlds” product. The durability and performance of stainless (excellent searing and temperature conductivity) with the ease and convenience of non-stick (super easy to clean, dishwasher safe, oven safe). Also, it’s the only non-stick on the market safe to use with metal utensils – pizza cutter, knife, whisk, etc. The product is so well constructed that it has a lifetime warranty (most non-stick competitors last only 1-3 years).  Special Thanks to our Sponsor WeWork!With WeWork On Demand, you can book co-working space by the day and meeting rooms by the hour at locations around the world.

You may not know Tyler Denk’s name yet, but you will. He looks like pretty normal a 20-something kid who came from a middle class neighborhood in Maryland — now transplanted to sunny Southern California. He’s hungry with ambition and got that look in his eyes -- like the eye of tiger. You know, that feeling we've all had when we thought we had the world in the palm of our hands.  Tyler is building what some might call a boring business —  a SASS product called Beehiive for people who write and email newsletters. The thing is, newsletters are only boring if you suck at writing them. And there’s millions of dollars to be made from them with case studies like Alex Liberman and Austin Rief’s Morning Brew that sold for $75M where Tyler wrote most of the early code… There’s The Hustle which the Sam Parr sold for $25M to Hubspot and others. Tyler is self-made and he is anything but ordinary. If you’re into music you might know him from his world famous Big Desk Energy playlist on Spotify. After Morning Brew, he did a season at Youtube Music, got Covid in 2020 and had to cancel a much needed vacation to San Diego. Instead, he build what might be the world’s most intuitive and effective SASS product for great writers who want to build an audience via an amazing newsletter. If you know, you know. Enjoy this master class of newsletter marketing with Tyler Denk…

Vimeo is for creative professions like me and I use it several different ways:It’s a place for me to upload videos with a password for my clients to be able to review and download the work I’m doing for them.  There’s no compression or crushing of black colors or over- saturation like when I  upload to Youtube. My clients get the full 4K resolution HD as it was intended.I use it to host / broadcast live events…I also use Vimeo for my portfolio, case studies —and it never has annoying pre roll ads. I can create a customized player and keep people on my landing page so they don’t get distracted and go down the rabbit hole watching someone else’s stuff. What you may not know is that Vimeo can be used if you’re in HR to put all your on-boarding videos in one place.. you could do the same if you teach a course…put your vids behind a paywall  and charge for it.Need a videographer, Creative director or editor? Vimeo let’s you post jobs or find creative professionals. There are a ton more options so I would suggest checking them out.

What can I say about Gary Vaynerchuk that you haven't already heard. In my mind, Gary is, among many things, a survivor. He was born in the former Soviet Union and escaped with his parents at a young age to suburban New Jersey where they relocated and started life over from zero. From his own stories and my own gut sense…to say that life was rough for Gary is probably a HUGE understatement. Gary has the mentality of a street fighter and the mouth of the most rogue pirate — who is unrivaled in his a mastery of swear words. When you see the fire in his eyes—even now these 40 years later burning just a brightly— it’s not hard to imagine him as a kid with his so-called Jersey friends being exceptionally cruel. I’m pretty sure Gary was bullied with intensity over many years and without mercy or relief. But instead of giving up, Gary fought back...or at least waited for his moment of revenge—even though it took 30 years to get to that place. I can picture Gary’s stoic Russian father — working in their new liquor store start up —too busy making ends meet to support or even notice the emotional damage being inflicted on his little son. And a loving mother, who Gary always holds in the highest esteem, trying her best to counter-act Gary’s brutal days at school with healthy doses of praise, positivity and gratitude for living in their new free democracy in pursuit of the American Dream. On the outside Gary looks like a Chihuahua. But on the inside he has the heart of a lion. He brags about being lousy at school to make a point that school isn’t all it’s cracked up to be—especially when your teachers label you a "loser" who will never amount to much. Gary has been quietly hell-bent on proving them all wrong even since. Instead of spending a ton of money on college with no ROI, he’d suggest you eat dirt and couch surf for the first seven years while you shadow your work idol and squeeze every bit of wisdom and experience from them before venturing off on your own. Whether you’re 20…30 or 50-something, Gary will remind you that you’ve got to be patient. BECAUSE. YOU. HAVE. SOOOOOOO. MUCH. TIME. Following Gary’s dogma can sometimes feel like multiple contradictions OR like trying to catch a blown up balloon that’s not tied off, as it whips around thru the air spastically and ultimately lands where you don’t expect it. I get the sense that we are all witnesses to Gary’s self-awareness transformations in real time. Daily. Sometimes via 50 pieces of content a day. Gary Vaynerchuk is the CEO of VaynerMedia, a full-service advertising agency servicing Fortune 100 clients. He also owns women’s brand PureWow and men’s lifestyle brand ONE37pm.  VaynerSports, that reps pro athletes and 20 other business ventures. Gary is a very popular and highly paid public speaker commanding over $100k per speech…he’s a 5-time New York Times bestselling author, who has written more books than he has personally read. He is a prolific angel investor with early investments in companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Venmo, and Uber—although he will tell you that he passed on Uber twice—and this probably cost him a billion dollars. Gary is currently the subject of DailyVee, a
