How to Launch a Software Product
In this episode of Startup Hustle, join Matt and Matt for Part 35 of "How to Start a Tech Company" as they discuss how to launch a software product. Software is a great way to scale your business, but you can lose a lot of money if you don't speak the language or know how to effectively manage developers and projects.
Entrepreneurs who are not deeply technical spend too much money, time, and effort trying to get their ideas turned into software products. Many hire the wrong people, get a product that doesn't meet what they wanted, miss the market opportunity because their project is taking a lot longer than it should, and worse of all, many get ripped off in the process. Don't let that be you!

Cannabis Marketing Challenges
The cannabis business is growing (pun intended). However, those involved struggle mightily when it comes to certain marketing channels. Why? It’s because the industry is technically still outlawed on the federal level. The result is many social media and other digital advertising platforms disallow cannabis related ads. In order to get to the bottom of how the industry handles this, Matt DeCoursey has a conversation with Shayda Torabi, the CEO and Co-Founder of RESTART CBD.

Marketing Startups
In this episode of Startup Hustle, the Matts talk to Veteran turned marketing expert, Jannae Gammage, Founder, and CEO of the Market Base. They talk about the digital marketing business, and the many struggles founders encounter.
The problem with the marketing industry is the shortage of affordable high-level marketing services. A lot of startup entrepreneurs could not afford the cost of a marketing expert, so instead, they do it themselves, even with little to no knowledge on the subject.
To address this issue, Gammage and her co-founders built a marketing agency that offers quality marketing output but, at a price, that startup entrepreneurs can afford.

Bioengineering Startups
Exosomes, what are they and why do they exist? Well, if you haven’t heard what exosomes are, then you are not alone. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles first discovered 30 years ago. It was since implicated in cell-cell communication and the transmission of disease states. It was also explored as a means of drug discovery.
So how are these extracellular vesicles important? Exosome therapies are now being explored in anti-cancer clinical trials, and recent reports claim taxol-filled exosomes can be used to treat cancers in mice at 50-fold lower doses than conventional treatments. And that is with the additional benefit that exosomes do not invoke an immune response.
To explain more about exosomes, Jim West visits the Startup Hustle studio. West is a life science entrepreneur, founder, and engineer. He is the founder of Clara Biotech, Anatomy3D, and Somametric.
At Clara Biotech, their mission is to enable therapeutic and diagnostic discovery and support clinical applications by providing the tools researchers need to harness the full potential of exosomes. The company was founded by scientists in 2015 who have spent much of their professional careers contending with the trials and tribulations of exosome research.
Clara Biotech is a platform technology that allows for the isolation of specific cellular markers (exosomes) from very small fluid samples, enabling liquid biopsy for the very early detection of cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, and many others. These same markers can also be turned into a precision medicine drug delivery platform delivering targeted drugs directly to the cells being targeted.

CBD Startups
In this episode, the Matts continue their journey on the wonders of CBD and hemp with their guests Heather and Kyle Steppe of KC Hemp Co.
Heather’s passion for the hemp industry stemmed from her desire to keep her twin children off pharmaceuticals when they showed signs of ADHD and anxiety. Looking for alternatives, she decided to use CBD.
The Steppes started the business about a year ago. They saw that a lot of manufacturers mislead customers to buy CBD products that don’t contain CBD at all. They realized that there is a market for high-quality organic CBD products that could help people.
KC Hemp Co. strives to bring the purest and best 100% organic CBD products to the greater Kansas City area and beyond. It has worked wonders for them, and both are excited to bring hemp education and awareness to Kansas City.

Digital Pain Management
One of the hardest parts of people dealing with chronic pain and behavioral disorders is going through the frustrating, process of diagnosis and treatment for the pain. That is why some medical practitioners use opiate modalities to dull the pain, but this method could lead to more serious problems. Unfortunately, this results in patients losing their trust in their medical professionals.
In this podcast episode, the Matts sit down with guest Sumeet Maniar, CEO of WellBrain, as they talk about a different way of treating people with chronic pain.
Maniar is a seasoned entrepreneur who has proven his expertise in digital technologies in both B2B and B2C, specifically in digital health, blockchain, video games, cloud SaaS solutions, payments, VR/AR and ad networks. With his gaming background, he was approached by one of WellBrain’s investors and saw an opportunity to create a successful business that addresses a real issue.
WellBrain is a real-time cognitive assessment & treatment tool enabling medical doctors to use non-opiate modalities in analyzing and treating their patients. It uses measurable meditation as a method of treatment. The adoption of this technology could represent a paradigm shift in the assessment and treatment of patients with chronic pain and anxiety.

Comic Book Startups
Superman, Batman, Iron man, Wonder Woman, Spider-man, and all the other comic characters, their superhero stories are part of so many childhoods. Comic books are not just entertainment they can help kids and adults alike through hard times with uplifting stories, or act a way to pique a child's interest in reading. Superheroes push us to be better in our own lives, and Kansas has a new hero to look up to.
Matt DeCoursey welcomes the person behind Kansas’s new superhero, Juaquan Herron also known as Jay Allen. Herron is the CEO and creator of the comic "Scarlet Knight."
After graduating, he went to Los Angeles where he met his mentor Scott Brown, who taught him how to write a great story. He went back to his hometown in Kansas City where he wrote and developed “The Scarlet Knight,” a character that mirrors Herron’s experiences growing up in the city’s urban core. Not only does the comic’s name harken back to his alma mater, but the family dynamic depicted in the story also hits close to home where a version of his grandparents plays an important role.
His journey to the comic world was not easy, but with the challenges he faced, he was able to learn a lot of things. Check out the podcast to find out how Herron navigated the ups and downs of the comic book business.

Art Startups
Welding refers to the fabrication process that causes materials such as metals, thermoplastics, and others to coalesce. It is an important process for constructing various objects and structures. Welding is mostly applied in building construction and creation of functional objects, but welding can be used for works of art, such as sculptures. Sculptural welding requires extensive knowledge and skill because it involves welding materials of different shapes and colors.
Matt DeCoursey has a discussion about the art business with guest, Jay Lockett of Stainless Floral and Jay Fabwerks—the CEO, Janitor, Social Media Manager and HR Generalist of his own company. After becoming a skilled welder, Lockett decided he didn’t want to work for anyone, so he started his own business.
He did many of the standard welding jobs but, He also tried his hand at sculptural art when trying to win back the heart of a girl. While he didn't manage to win her back, he did come to realize his proficiency in stainless steel art. This led him to begin another facet of his welding business, creating art with welding. His most prized piece is the Titanium Diamond Eternity Rose that costs $250,000. Intrigued why it costs so much? Tune in to this podcast to find out!

Biotech Startups
What if we were to tell you that CO2 can be converted to animal feed? Would you believe me? The level of CO2 in the atmosphere has been growing at an alarming rate, which has led to an increase in the average global temperature. CO2 emissions are almost an uncontrollable environmental problem affecting the people globally. But modern technology creates an opportunity to convert industrial carbon dioxide into a valuable commodity.
Matt DeCoursey and guest David Tze, CEO of NovoNutrients, discuss an impressive technology that can turn CO2 into animal feed.
In 2017, Tze achieved the goal of his research fund and invested in NovoNutrients. The “feed and food from CO2” company transforms industrial carbon dioxide into feed ingredients through industrial biotech.

The moment your dog comes into your life, you build a bond and make a promise to nurture and care. Being a responsible dog owner is a serious commitment that requires your time and energy.

My Bear Jeff
My Bear Jeff is a buy one, give one teddy bear company to support kids dealing with trauma. Every time a bear is purchased, its twin is delivered to a qualifying child through nonprofit partners.
Matt talks with My Bear Jeff's founder, Rachel Cohen, who created this company from the intersection of several personal experiences. The first being a rare heart diagnosis at the age of 4 and recovering from a high-risk procedure that could have cost her life. The second came from her time in Southeast Asia working with children who were dealing with extreme trauma every day. She returned home with a pure, burning desire to support these kids.
Rachel recognized that something as simple as a treasured teddy bear could create a critical form of comfort and support that a child needs, and the idea for My Bear Jeff was born.

Athlete Entrepreneurship
In this episode, the Matts get the chance to talk with former Major League Baseball relief pitcher Jeff Montgomery.
Montgomery talks about his journey as a baseball player, from being in the minor leagues to making it to the major leagues. He played Major League Baseball for 13 years, 12 of which were for the Kansas City Royals.
Breaking the traditional closer mold, Montgomery became one of the most reliable relief aces in baseball that led his team in saves for over ten years with his unconventional four-pitch repertoire. He was a three-time All-Star and Royals Pitcher of the Year in 1998.
After retiring, he invested in sports radio, which he said is the best investment he has made. He mentioned how his experience as an athlete prepared him to become an entrepreneur and taught him an important lesson - that failure is part of the game.

Alcohol Startups
Building a great brand or business is a rigorous and often frustrating process. But what about rebuilding a business that has been closed for ages? In order to rebuild a business to its former glory, you will have to re-establish your network, restore your business community relationships, and find ways to develop your product according to your current market. In this podcast episode, the Matts welcome their guest Andy Rieger, founder of J. Rieger & Co. Andy is the third generation grandson of Jacob Rieger. J. Rieger & Co originally started in Kansas in 1887, only to meet an early demise in 1919 with the onset of the 18th Amendment and Federal Prohibition.
In 2012 Andy Rieger and Ryan Maybee, a career bartender and restaurateur, set out to revive this historic brand. Together, they formed a bond drawn from their shared vision of re-establishing, not only Andy’s family legacy but also reviving the distilling industry in Kansas City. In 2014, the duo relaunched J. Rieger & Co., Kansas City’s first distillery since prohibition, through the release of “Rieger’s Kansas City Whiskey”, a unique style of American Whiskey that pays tribute to J. Rieger & Co.’s history. Learn from the challenges that Andy faced on rebuilding his family’s historical business and how he was able to grow the demand for their product in Kansas City in just 4 years.

Rethinking Healthcare
What happens when a person acquires medical debt but has no way of paying it? Well, this is a heartbreaking reality - many are burdened by medical bills that they cannot pay off. The tendency is to forego their healthcare because they can’t afford it anymore.

They provide immediate mobile access to funds in paying for healthcare bills with zero interest, fees, and hassle. Employees repay via payroll deductions or through pre-tax HSA payroll contributions.

In this episode of the Startup Hustle, Luke Thompson, owner of KC Soda Co. and Mass Street Soda, accompanies Matt and Matt to talk about the history behind his sodapop shop.
In 2014, Thompson opened Mass Street Soda in Lawrence, Kansas because he was inspired by a craft soda store in California and another one in Oklahoma.

One year after Thompson opened Mass Street Soda, he was able to open KC Soda Co. in the Legends Outlet mall, but quickly moved to the City Market in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.

In this episode of Startup Hustle, CEO and Founder of Custom Trailer Pros, Justin Prestidge, accompany Matt and Matt to talk about the difficulties of starting and running a food truck.
Okay, let's be real. Who doesn't like food trucks? They are literal meals that move on wheels. That said, statistically speaking, most restaurants fail within the first 3 years of being open. Custom Trailer Pros aims to provide the best service it can by crafting a trailer for any company's specific needs. However, even with all the right building blocks, there will still be a chance to fail.
Prestidge mentions that one of the most common problems in starting a food truck is the constant change of local health codes, sometimes forcing mobile restaurants to shut down. But, you can lower the risk of other controllable factors by keeping the necessities and learning from past mistakes.

FinTech Startups
In this episode of Startup Hustle, Matt and Matt are joined by the managing director at Fountain City Fintech, Zach Anderson Pettit, in an interesting discussion on the purpose of being a partnership accelerator rather than just an accelerator.
Banks don't always understand the needs of most startups. So, when NBKC bank went from only offering partnerships to having a full-on accelerator program, you could imagine the opportunities that opened up.
NBKC bank's program is unique in that it is the bank behind the fintech rather than being partnered with a fintech.
By being a partner accelerator, NBKC bank is able to offer incentives such as doing a partnership in less than 6 months and offering investments. In order to have a successful partnership, it is crucial to have a relationship with your bank if you want to have a larger fintech company.
NBKC bank recognizes that a partnership needs to be more than just financial support. It needs to be a relationship with a thriving environment for your startup to grow.

Where’s the Beef?
The beef industry isn't what it used to be, and you can taste it. Matt and Matt meet up with marketing consultant and founder of River Watch Beef, Chris Kovac. In this episode of Startup Hustle, Kovac describes the ever-dropping quality of the beef industry in the United States because of the oligarchal dominance of the four largest beef producers' stronghold on the market.
These producers can easily and inexpensively control the entire beef supply chain by mass-raising cattle and inadequately feeding their livestock, which allows for lower production costs.
This lowers the quality of beef for people who live in food deserts (areas where it is difficult to find high-quality food.) River Watch Beef is Kovac's proof of concept that a direct-to-consumer model is a profitable model which can still reach the economically disadvantaged and keep a focus on transparency.

Not only will he talk about the beginnings of a podcast, such as the reason why you should start yours and the kind of format that you should be using, but he also touches on why podcasts tend to fail and what you can do to ensure that your podcast lives a full life.
