Producing Creativity with Jim Carter

50. In Producing Creativity, host William Glass sits down with Jim Carter, the founder of Legacy West Media. Jim discusses how repetitive physical injuries forced him to change his life’s path away from athletics and embrace his natural creativity. We discuss the power of travel and developing deep connections with a diverse set of people and how those connections not only bring Jim joy but also provide opportunities in his business. After only a few months of founding his business, Jim talks about how he was forced to pivot due to COVID, move across the country twice within a year and get married to his incredible wife Caroline. Jim brings incredible energy to the conversation and is someone I truly admire.

Empowering the Gift of Giving with Kelly Keurzoneff

49. In Empowering the Gift of Giving, host William Glass sits down with Kelly Keurzoneff, founder of Givelist. Kelly discusses the importance of social impact and how we can better support our fellow humans in times of need. She discusses the challenges of being a solo-founder (the loneliness) and how to continue to build your business without a co-founder. In addition, Kelly shares the founding story of Givelist and how consumers today care more about the social impact the companies they support have on the world.

There were some differences between mine and Kelly’s volume that we’ve adjusted as best we can in post-production. For the best experience, we recommend watching this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/qeSikTC04b0.

About Kelly Keurzoneff

Kelly Keurzoneff is the founder of Givelist® and the owner of a marketing consulting business. She grew up in Indiana, went to college in North Carolina. Then spent 10 years in Los Angeles learning everything marketing and advertising. In Los Angeles, Kelly worked for media and tech companies, two of which were startups. It was her time at Hulu, though, that was most formative and inspiring, and which she credits for launching her more serious interest in entrepreneurial endeavors.

Kelly is a first-time founder looking to encourage giving, foster kindness, and build social capital by creating a tool that makes gift-giving a fun and frictionless experience.

Givelist® is a universal wish list, an all-purpose online gift registry, allowing users to connect & contribute to one another’s lives simply & easily. It also provides a vehicle for more direct and transparent giving of items to those in need or non-profit organizations. Great for both consumers and retailers, it has the added benefit of reducing waste and returns, which otherwise accounts for billions of dollars in unusable/unsellable goods.
