In This Episode You Will Learn About: -The power of bartering -Valuing what you offer to people -Making a bartering deal responsibly -Figuring out what you are willing to trade -Creating a contract Resources: -Tata's Instagram: instagram.com/tatatickaradze -Barter & Be: barterandbe.com -Instagram: instagram.com/barterandbe -Marketing: tothemoonsocial.com -Instagram: instagram.com/tothemoonsocial Show Notes: This interview is going to take away all excuses you have around not being able to afford to start your business. Tata Tickaradze tells us the story of how she founded Barter & Be, a community of female entrepreneurs who exchange goods and services without any capital. In her spare time, Tata is a branding expert and genius marketer who has an incredible digital marketing agency called To The Moon. As she was building this business, she kept running into one problem: in order to progress and expand the way she needed to, she needed to invest in professional services. But as a brand new business owner, she didn't always have the money to pay for those. When she looked around, she noticed her creative and entrepreneurial friends had those same problems, and often needed her help with social media and branding. They started to swap services, and everyone's businesses grew! You're going to feel like you have a way to start this business idea that you've always had on your mind but didn't feel like you had the money to start. This is all about resourcefulness, mindset, and applying a value to your services. Question Highlights: -Can you explain Barter & Be for us? -Were you really down to your last $78 when you started this company? -What's a good example of two people who exchanged services through Barter & Be? -How do people not devalue their services? -Is there a contract that people enter into? -How important was giving and generosity to you? Guest Bio: Tata Tickaradze is the founder of Barter & Be. A skilled marketer who understands the nuances of all aspects of social presence from planning to development to execution, Tata's created her own agency, To the Moon Social. She has single-handedly grown significant user communities based on her time-honed process. Tata's knowledge of content and delivery has been critical in the launch of major brands and professional services alike. As Tata built her own business, she kept running into a problem: In order to progress and expand, she needed to invest in professional services like graphic design, photography, and web development. But as a small business owner, she didn't always have the cash in her bank account to pay for these types of services. It was a catch-22: In order to be more profitable, she needed to up her game … but in order to up her game, she had to spend more money. When Tata looked around, she saw many of her creative and entrepreneurial friends running up against the same problem—and often, they needed her help with social media. Naturally, they started to swap services. And something amazing happened—everyone grew their businesses, together. A master connector, Tata created Barter & Be to help other women expand their networks of creative female entrepreneurs, and to facilitate the growth of their businesses without the hefty price tag.

I'm lifting the curtain on a conversation I had at my elite level mastermind with the legend, Rob Dyrdek. In case you've forgotten who he is (because I know you've heard of him), he is the professional skater turned TV personality and mega-entrepreneur. You probably know of him from his TV shows Ridiculousness, Fantasy Factory, or Rob & Big. But most people don't realize how wildly successful and brilliant an entrepreneur he is. He was willing to come to our mastermind and bless us with his incredible knowledge, not only of his businesses, but how he leads such a life of balance. I've never seen any entrepreneur do it like this before. Question Highlights: -What are your core values? -Where did your boundaries come from and how do you uphold them? -Why was the book Start at the End so impactful, and what do you do as a result of what you learned from that book? -What did it take for you to learn to be a numbers person? -What keeps you motivated to keep pushing? -Do you have a meditative or spiritual practice? -If you started over, what would be your next revenue stream? -Can you break down your morning routine? Guest Bio: At 18 years old, he used his knowledge gained from the skateboard industry to create his first company. The relentless pursuit of his childhood dreams made Rob Dyrdek a professional athlete at 16 years old and propelled him into the world of business before most people entered college. Surrounded by entrepreneurs in his youth, Dyrdek quickly learned the power of building brands. At 18 years old, he used that knowledge to create his first company. This "outlier" experience helped him to develop and grow both his own brands and increase the value of his brand partners as he was quickly becoming an influential professional skateboarder. By leveraging his influence and designing new concepts and ideas, he helped turn a rising footwear and apparel brand into a $500 million international company. He used that same expertise to build skate brands later in his career launching the world's first true professional skateboarding league Street League Skateboarding and a first of its kind skateboarding channel, ETN. That same approach to brand development led him to co-create and executive produce his first television show, Rob & Big on MTV. After the success of this first show, he created Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory showcasing his Do-Or-Dier® mentality towards entrepreneurship. Constantly evolving and taking calculated risks, Dyrdek beat world records with his physical feats while continuing his endeavors, launching several new brands while structuring multi-platform integrated partnerships. Dyrdek continued in his television success with the launch of his new production company, Superjacket. In this new role, he created Ridiculousness, yet another big hit television show, followed by hits like Nickelodeon's Mega Life & Crashletes and CMT's The Dude Perfect Show. Using this expertise gained developing the intersection between business and media, he went on to not only invest in new businesses, but also help successfully amplify their brand. With his extensive knowledge, experience and insight gained over two decades of building his own intellectual properties and working with top brands around the world, he started developing the groundwork for his full-service venture studio, Dyrdek Machine. The Dyrdek Machine represents not only the financial investment of Rob Dyrdek, but also his passion for partnering with disruptive "Do-or-Dier®" entrepreneurs, guiding them to achieve sustainable success. Using his proven method for predictable success, Dyrdek works personally with his partners to help them realize their true passion and voice and turn it into a profitable, sustainable brand. His unquenchable desire to live life to the fullest pushed him to develop a strategy for success in life, not unlike the formula he created for his venture studio. Following his life plan for happiness, balance and love while still achieving greatness in his career, Dyrdek now enjoys a fulfilling life with his family in Beverly Hills and continues to build his dream as he had not only envisioned, but designed it.
