One of the best parts of my job is working with creatives-turned-entrepreneurs to help them accelerate their brand growth.  And I get really pumped when I’m able to help them become more attractive to larger companies looking to buy.  I got to sit down with one of the most creative creatives I know, Ryan Gruss, Founder and CEO at The Loop Loft, to discuss his journey from Atlantic Records to founding his own business and everything he’s learned on the way. We also talked about:  Shopify, organic content, and the evolution of Facebook Ads. Mistakes he’s made as an entrepreneur and how he manages his time as a creative.  How to make your brand attractive to Fortune 500 companies for acquisition.  The future of eCommerce.    Learn more about Loop Loft on their website, Instagram, or Facebook.  For the entire interview, tune in on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or our website. Mentioned on the show:  LANDR The 4-Hour Workweek All You Need to Know About the Music Business Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business Edison

71: Ryan Gruss (drummer, entrepreneur)

There are many different loop library companies out there, but nobody seems to be doing it quite like The Loop Loft. These guys are combining impeccably recorded instruments with timeless (and ultra-clean) mixes to create some of the best loop sets around. Ryan Gruss, the founder and CEO of The Loop Loft, is our guest this week, and he opens the door to his past at Berklee, inside the loop at Atlantic Records, and the development of The Loop Loft from its beginnings as a blog to its current position as a killer loop-lib company. In addition to the interview, I want to take the opportunity to point to a Kickstarter campaign that a friend is putting together. Linz Craig has been working in East African maker spaces spreading the word about Open Source software, hardware and the opportunity that comes from making things. Please visit the Kickstarter site for his documentary project, and help him spread the word about the power behind making things! Have a happy holiday season, and drop me a line if you know someone that would like to be interviews - even if that someone is you!
