Secret Academy Episode – Ali Awad
Coming to this country as an immigrant from Palestine, Ali Awad and his family made their lives in the rural parts of northern Georgia. With no papers, but with ambition and drive, Ali found works doing odd jobs all his life along side his father in the automotive audio and wheel industry. While these ventures provided dollars, they didn’t provide a scalable and growable business venture which Ali knew he wanted. Ali knew being in the US meant he had opportunities that wouldn’t be extended to him back home, so rather than settling for mediocrity he decided to explore one of the elite professions we have in the U.S: Law. After taking the LSAT’s on a whim, Ali was put into law school and started on a journey that has now made him one of the most well-known personal inquiry lawyers in the state of Georgia.
Secret Academy Episode – Jon Carder
In a world where technology is forever evolving, one can imagine how difficult it can be to keep up with the times. However, there are some people, like my guest Jon Carder who are able to capitalize on this ever changing game and make it work in his company’s favor. Years ago Jon started a company that helped make earning loyalty rewards a frictionless process. No longer did you have to wave around a coupon at a store to get your discount, Jon’s company made it so you could just link your rewards right to your credit card for a smooth, easy process that still earned you rewards and cash back. Now with brick and mortar stores not being the only means of purchase, Jon has evolved his company to reflect both online and offline transactions. His company, Empyr acts as an intermediate, bringing together customers and apps, stores, or websites like: Facebook, Coupons.com, Living Social, etc for the customer to be able to utilize rewards and the business to make profit percentages off of every purchase. This is something a little different than what we are used to talking about here at Secret Entourage, but I am super excited for you all to hear Jon’s story and just how successful his transactional facilitation business has become.
