In the world of skincare, where countless products cater to women, there was a gap for a brand that understood and addressed men's unique skincare requirements.

Krete, founded by entrepreneur Jake Rosenburg, is the result of one man's journey to find a solution for his own skincare needs.

Jake dedicated himself to learning every aspect of running an e-commerce skincare business. From product development to supply-chain management and digital marketing, he honed his skills to build a brand that catered specifically to men.

The brand quickly gained traction and profitability with its flagship product.

Dr. Len Tau is warmly referred to as the reviews doctor because of his dedication to helping other dentists improve their businesses through reputation management and the power of online reviews.

Online reviews greatly influence modern consumer spending habits. These reviews determine your business's reputation and whether people can trust you.

Patients will look at a dentist's online reviews before deciding if they will go or take their kid there. Unfortunately, some of these things are not taught in dental school for many dentists.

The majority of dentists and other professionals are not very good entrepreneurs and would rather focus on the clinical side. But the reality is that you can be the best clinician in town, but nobody knows about you. You have to market your practice.

Dr. Tau helps other dentists get more and better reviews to expand their online footprints to make them more visible and attract more patients.

His advice on online reviews also applies to other entrepreneurs, so tune in and learn how to attract more customers through the power of the online review.

Key Takeaways

- When Len first realized he was an entrepreneur (01:31)

Growing up, Mara Smith didn't ever think about being an entrepreneur. She always dreamt of being a Supreme Court Justice, a position someone holds for life. A secure and stable position is quite the opposite of what entrepreneurship entails.

She went on to study law and became an attorney in Chicago for a large law firm, followed by stints in a Fortune 500 company and later at Mcdonald's.

All this came to a screeching halt when she was put on emergency bed rest as she was expecting her twins.

After taking care of her preemie twins, she sought ways to reenter the work and decided to start her own company.

Having been a tequila drinker all through her life, she was looking for a clean, gluten-free, sugar-free spirit that fit her active lifestyle.

There was none in the market, and that's where she came in.

She went to work studying the spirit industry and testing more what mindful consumers were looking for in tequila.

Her company Inspiro Tequila is redefining the spirits industry by bringing in a female perspective in a male-dominated industry.

Today on the show, we have Aryeh Sheinbein. He is not just your typical serial entrepreneur; he is a wealth genius helping other entrepreneurs invest their money.

After finishing school and having an investment job on wall street, Aryeh still continued with his entrepreneurial pursuits on the side.
