Money can be a big barrier to starting a business and when you get it, it can also hamstring you in ways you can't even imagine.  So what is more important to have when starting a business if not money?  According to guest Chris Joyce, the answer is passion and time!  That is why he created Gusher - a platform to help you get that next big idea off the ground.  Listen in as Chris and host Catryn Becker discuss this and so much more!

About Chris Joyce

I am founder of 24 companies in high tech, consumer goods, health, and manufacturing. My products have been sold in more than 11,000 stores in 23 countries. I have users of my tech products in 148 countries across the globe.

My newest venture is Gusher. Having started many companies I kept running into the same issue over and over...the best ideas and entrepreneurs were not getting funded and their ideas never saw the light of day. These entrepreneurs weren't getting funded for the most idiotic of reasons...they were not in the right city, or they didn't have the right connections, or they didn't attend the right school, they didn't "look" a certain way, they were too old, they were too young, they were the wrong gender or race, they didn't have the right experience, the right team, or or or or or...you name it and they were rejected because of it. But rarely was the true reason they were rejected because of their idea.  

So I set out to change this. I believe great ideas can come from anyone anywhere. And I believe the market and not venture capitalists should be the judge of whether or not these ideas see the light of day.  

So we created Gusher. Gusher is the simple, quick, and easy way to create and build a startup. Without the need for investors. Without the need for capital. How? Gusher helps Entrepreneurs create and launch startups using performance based equity. Everything from technology, media, and health to design, finance, and gaming.  

If you have a great idea and need the expertise of others to help bring it to life, Gusher can help. Go to the Gusher site and get started. We're coming out of beta shortly and are now accepting new startups. www.gusher.co 

Curiosity is a super power and it's what drives everything we are doing here at Did I tell you...
 
Lost ball marker, great podcast. Albi loses his prized ball marker earlier in the day but ends the day with three new buddies that solve his ball marker woes once and for all.   

Albi and Panda catch-up with the founders of the hottest new golf gift launching this holiday season... Marker Locker. They share how through their own creative inspiration, they were able to develop the concept, design, refine, and launch all within less than a 12 month period.  It's not only a remarkable story, it's also inspiring to anyone who is driven to create.

3 new spirit animals join the shed:
Honey Badger, Kangeroo #2, GOAT (KID)

DITYAMA also launches the first of many contests... this one is for the hard to get Marker Lockers!  We are giving away 6 of these initially. Listen to the podcast for the secret word provided during the podcast for an easy way to multiply your chances to win.
