As I mentioned in my last solo episode I was going to start sharing my founder journey as it happens in real time. One of the most important things a founder can do before developing a solution is to truly understand the problem. Well today I wanted to understand the financial problem of higher education from a perspective I couldn't find elsewhere. So after hearing her captivating interview on The Portal Podcast with Eric Weinstein, I decided to invite Kimberly De La Cruz on the show.Kimberly is an Award-winning journalist-turned-publicist who transitioned from covering nightlife and entertainment at Nevada's largest daily, to a career in public relations. She is currently the spokes person for SeekingArrangement and "Sugar Baby University.” who has created an uncanny solution to the American student debt crisis and insane tuition rates. The world's largest Sugar Dating website is challenging this enormous burden on young people by connecting them with Sugar Daddies -- generous individuals with the means to help with tuition, books, living expenses and everything else that results in fewer college students having to incur a lifetime of crippling debt.  This discussion is not about whether this Sugar Baby University is right or wrong, its about the 1.6 trillion dollar student debt in higher education that has created the foundation for this to be possible. The greatest challenge for higher education today is to decrease its price premium and increase its contributions to students and society. My desire to speak with Kimberly was to pull back the curtain on the areas the present institutions, as you will found it in this interview, are just unwilling to look. As a someone dead set on building a better university for the future, its going to require knowing all angles of the problem.Get more of the Evolve Podcast at https://www.evolvethe.world/

Dan Demskey is the Co-Founder of Unbound Merino. Dan has taken not one, not two, but four companies to 6, 7, & 8 figures over the last decade. From starting a digital video agency in his mom’s basement to selling funky socks, this entrepreneur has consistently seen the heights of success and the lows of trying to keep the lights on in the business. Even though his digital agency had reached 7 figures working with brands such as Coca-Cola, Microsoft, General Motors, & GE he was tired of chasing the next contract in order to get paid. Deciding to scratch his own itch & seeing an industry that could be done better, Dan set his sights on creating stylish, simple Merino wool apparel that can be worn for weeks or even months - without ever needing to be washed. His best friends and him decided to trade in their Friday nights to start grinding away on the idea and launch a crowdfunding campaign, raising $380,000 in its first 2 months. After just 3-years in business, they are now doing $4m in revenue selling to over 100 countries around the world.This life long entrepreneur and his industry leading company has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, USA Today, Travel & Leisure, & Lonely planet. Additionally he shared his wisdom with hundreds of entrepreneurs as mentorship director of the Entrepreneur Organization’s Canadian Chapters.Find all the shownotes at https://www.evolvethe.world/

Eric is the founder of Beardbrand, author of the Book of Reminders, and is the forefather of the urban beardsman movement which turned a $30 investment in a side project into a 7 figure eCommerce business dominating a market. With a value for freedom, this bearded entrepreneur and his team have bootstrapped the entire way by focusing on community, experience, and educational content which has amassed a 1.59 million subscriber count on youtube that fuels over two thirds of their purchases.However the journey started as many beards do, patchy, unpredictable, and going astray. With the entrepreneurial spirit in his blood, he attempted dozens of businesses from selling vinyl graphics to graphic design and most failing to make any money at all. So it was back to putting on a corporate veil and working in sales. In a culmination of feeling caged working as a financial advisor and tired of hearing duck dynasty or grizzly adams references about his beard, he set out once again and this time to change the way society views beardsmen.Starting in 2012, the humble brand was nothing more than a community that gained the attention of a New York Times reporter seaking expertise on beard care products and started a roller coaster of events that grew them $0 to over $120k per month in sales. From getting beard rubs by the sharks on shark tank, being featured in a World Series commercial by Shipstation, to partnering with retail juggernaut Target, this small but mighty ecommerce business has received plenty of exposure. Yet the truth to their success has not been predicated on one hit wonders and hyper growing profits at all costs, but rather grown consistently month over month with a dedication to making men awesome.Sharing his story and helping thousands of other entrepreneurs, he has been featured in Forbes, inc, the wall street journal, fast company, & dozens of entrepreneurial podcasts including Foundr and Entrepreneur on Fire.Find all the shownotes at https://www.evolvethe.world/
