Hamilton Perkins Collection Startup Manufactured Travel Bags Using Recycled Plastic Bottles Vinyl Billboard Show 050

Hamilton Perkins Collection uses recycled plastic bottles to manufacture travel bag canvas and recycled vinyl billboard material for the duffle bag lining.

Hamilton Perkins is the founder and President of Hamilton Perkins Collection, an e-commerce retailer, offering designer travel bags at an affordable price while holding the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

What are we going to learn today: how Hamilton came up with his idea, what problem he was solving and testing the product concept. We are going to talk sales and marketing and find out how he does it! From manufacturing to distribution.

The Hamilton Perkins Collection has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, and Money Magazine. Now on the Listenup Show!

Prior to starting Hamilton Perkins Collection, he was the winner of the 2016 Virginia Velocity Tour business pitch competition hosted by the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

What other things do we learn -

How Hamilton came up with the business idea to solve this problem.

Hamilton Perkins was preparing to travel to Hong Kong, Shanghai, Madrid and Athens with classmates in his executive MBA program when he came across a problem: He couldn\\u2019t find the right carry-on bag. They were either too flimsy, too impractical or too mainstream. So he decided to create his own. How to build a successful crowdfunding campaign with kickstarter. Hamilton raised: $14,329 of a $10,000 goal (as of July 14). The campaign began June 30 and ended July 30. The unique bag making manufacturing process and his successful experience in creating an environmentally sustainable product and supply chain. At Hamilton Perkins Collection the travel bags, line of duffel bags and backpacks are actually made out of 100% recycled plastic bottles and lined with vinyl from repurposed billboards. Each bag is different, unique. How Hamilton Perkins got his Collection into the Department stores. How he tested the idea before launching. Perkins began setting up focus groups with family members and friends to get their ideas about what they wanted in a bag. He also searched Twitter for ideas and combed through hundreds of one-star luggage reviews on Amazon.com to get a sense of common customer complaints. (Jeffrey P. Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com, owns The Washington Post.) \\u201cNo one is as serious or as truthful about something until they\\u2019re mad about a purchase,\\u201d Perkins said. \\u201cCustomer reviews are a world of their own. They contain so much information.\\u201d Eventually, a theme emerged in his research: \\u201cThe main things we kept coming up with were duffel bag and backpack, backpack and duffel bag,\\u201d Perkins said. \\u201cThat, and people wanted something that was unique.\\u201d He decided to combine those three things and designed a bag that doubles as both duffel and backpack. (Picture a traditional duffel bag with backpack straps on the bottom. The bag has a three-way zipper so its contents can be accessed from either the top of the bag or its side, and all straps can be zipped away when not in use.) Perkins researched different types of material, too, and teamed up with Thread International, a company that makes fabric using recycled materials, for his first prototype. The fabric on the outside of the bag is made of recycled plastic bottles, while the inside of each bag is created from repurposed vinyl from old billboards. A factory in Oregon makes each bag. \\u201cPersonally, I think the days of everyone buying the same cookie-cutter product are over,\\u201d Perkins said. \\u201cPeople want things that are unique and special.\\u201d Perkins has already invested more than $25,000 of his savings into the one-man company and says he was looking for a way to get the word out about his bag. He set a $10,000 goal on Kickstarter and was surprised when the money began rolling in right away. Within a week, he\\u2019d met his goal. \\u201cYou really don\\u2019t know what\\u2019s going to happen on a site like that,\\u201d he said. \\u201cThis could have done great or it could have bombed.\\u201d Luckily for Perkins, it was the former. About halfway through his campaign, he has raised nearly $15,000 from 100 backers. A $95 pledge gets donors a duffel bag, while $295 gets them the company\\u2019s convertible backpack.

Perkins said it will take until December to manufacture his first batch of 1,000 bags for Kickstarter backers. From there, he plans to add four more colors to his line-up and eventually look into creating other products. \\u201cThere are a lot of interesting things going on with technology and fabrics, so we could look into integrating conductive fabric into our products or making it possible for them to communicate with smartphones and other devices,\\u201d he said. \\u201cBags are just a starting point.\\u201d Hamilton was an Investment Advisor at Merrill Lynch and, earlier, worked as an Analyst at Bank of America. He has also served in a leadership capacity with various non-profit organizations and has been recognized for his volunteer work and service hours assisting low-income populations. Hamilton is also a contributing blogger for The Huffington Post. has hosted trunk shows at Bloomingdale\\u2019s was a financial planner for Merrill Lynch. Lives Norfolk, Va. He is a graduate of Old Dominion University with a degree in Business Administration and he earned his M.B.A. from William and Mary. Huffington Post Turning Trash Into Fashion The Problem In 2014, I thought carefully about my quest to find a unique and socially responsible backpack. It all started when I was having a personal problem while earning my MBA at William and Mary. I was planning to travel on global immersion experiences to Asia and Europe and felt that my options to find a bag that I could be proud to carry were severely limited. Before the vision to turn plastic bottles into bags at Hamilton Perkins Collection, we simply were not satisfied with the selections available in the growing global bag market. We came to the industry from a customer\\u2019s point of view and we sought to use this as an advantage. In the beginning, we thought a lot about establishing a for-profit organization that would be driven by social progress. We thought that this could be the catalyst to support the vision for building a better bag. We surveyed friends, family, and prospects to understand the market opportunity and saw a big gap between the ubiquitous bags that sold for less than $100 and the high-end luxury bags that sold for north of $500. Additionally, we were passionate about solving problems and noticed first hand the modern inconvenience of waste in the form of plastic bottles. At the time it just seemed as if the benefits of recycling were not fully addressing concerns in our everyday lives. Moreover, we saw how this affected social and environmental issues and we knew we had to start building our proposition around carrying a bag that looks good and that makes a difference. A key finding from our research was that most bags were one dimensional, not giving the traveler the option to choose the version of the bag that was most suitable for them. We formed our thesis around the pain points that our focus groups were voicing to us and turned to one star Amazon reviews and algorithms for deeper unfiltered data. The Solution We developed the Hamilton Perkins Collection Earthbag, an all-in-one convertible backpack made out of recycled plastic bottles and lined with vinyl from repurposed billboards. The Hamilton Perkins Collection Earthbag features a 3-way zippered compartment that allows easy access to laptops, books, and travel documents. The Value Our bags are the perfect pick if you\\u2019re looking for the right blend of style and function. 1. Recycled Plastic Bottles - Hamilton Perkins Collection Earthbags are the world\\u2019s first impactful and transparent bags: made out of 100% recycled plastic bottles. 2. Repurposed Billboards - The Hamilton Perkins Collection Earthbags are lined with repurposed billboard vinyl. Each bag\\u2019s lining is different, each bag is unique. 3. Design, transparency, and impact - Hamilton Perkins Collection bags reduce waste, cut carbon emissions in the environment, and conserve water. A New Perspective Fast forward to 2016, Hamilton Perkins Collection earned its status as a Certified B Corporation\\xae by offering designer travel bags at an affordable price, while holding the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Starting at $95, we are proud to make exceptional products that make a difference one bag at a time. Design Thinking Design and function are two driving forces behind our product line. Our approach to design has been customer-centric from day one. We take great pride in seeing the world from the customer\\u2019s point of view first and then taking it upon ourselves to be the change that we seek. We prototype and ideate dynamically to find what works for the traveler and what doesn\\u2019t. We get excited about making something that doesn\\u2019t exist and seeing it bring change and make a difference. At the end of the day, it\\u2019s about people for us and when they trust us to design the bag that they carry we don\\u2019t take the opportunity lightly. Our level of care sets us apart in a market where there are so many options to choose from. Hamilton Perkins Collection was born out of a simple necessity: the need for affordable designer bags that look good, perform well and make a difference. Similar to many travelers in the world we had trouble finding a socially conscious bag that met our basic needs in a practical and responsible way. We researched the industry and found that most options were average quality. The majority of the bag makers maintain low prices with high levels of secrecy around how they can achieve it. Other bags are excellent quality and their cost is way too much for the price. What is available to the modern traveler looking to find purpose in every journey? We founded Hamilton Perkins Collection to be an alternative. We stripped down the traditional walls of the retail world and invited our customers to share their comments and thoughts with us in a way not previously feasible. We interviewed countless travelers to start new authentic relationships and they told us how we could best serve their needs when re-engineering a classic travel bag. Most brands look at philanthropy and giving as an afterthought but we see it as an essential part of running a business today. In collaboration with our workshops and suppliers, we are committed to supporting fair wages and delivering value to less developed nations by sourcing raw materials that divert thousands of plastic bottles, save water, add revenue, and create jobs in parts of the world that need it the most. We track our progress and submit to rigorous third party review to ensure accuracy and accountability. With billions of plastic bottles thrown away each year, the average person still throws away as much as 180 pounds of plastic in the same period of time. It takes 500-1,000 years for plastic to degrade. We address these issues by partnering with organizations like Thread, to turn trash into fashion with every bag we sell. When you buy our bags, together we reduce waste levels, cut carbon emissions, conserve water - and create jobs. Final Thoughts Change is a funny thing. We\\u2019ve experienced change and its many benefits by carrying the Earthbag in our everyday lives. We have sparked lifestyle adjustments that were not evident until examining a simple travel bag. Although we successfully funded our debut Kickstarter campaign in under a week and were selected a Kickstarter \\u201cProject We Love\\u201d you can still reserve a Hamilton Perkins Collection Earth Bag until July 29, 2016, and learn more about how our epiphany is changing lives.

Digital trends For the members of a generation raised on instant gratification, it can be difficult to see the benefits of recycling. After all, how do we really know where those plastic bottles go after we\'ve separated them? Hamilton Perkins has an answer -- they go into designer travel bags that are as sleek as they are safe for the environment. Reaching its Kickstarter goal in under a week, Hamilton Perkins and its 100-percent eco-friendly bags promise luxury at an affordable price, "while holding the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency." Every bag from this green atelier is made from recycled plastic bottles, but that\'s not where the reusing ends. The lining of all Hamilton Perkins bags is made of repurposed billboards, and while each bag is unique and different (no really, look inside), they all share the same green DNA. Designed to reduce waste levels, cut carbon emissions in the environment, and conserve water, these bags are a purchase you don\'t have to feel bad about. And because they start at just $95, your wallet probably won\'t be too offended either. The company\'s signature Earth bag is branded as an "all-in-one bag that converts into a backpack or duffle bag." With its three-way zippered compartment, you can easily access laptops, books, travel documents, and more. Noting that the average person throws away up to 180 pounds of plastic in a year, Hamilton Perkins looked to turn trash into fashion with each of its products. "In collaboration with our workshops and suppliers, we committed to supporting fair wages and delivering value to less developed nations by sourcing raw materials that divert plastic bottles, save water, add revenue, and create jobs in parts of the world that need it the most," the company says on its Kickstarter page. "We track our progress and submit to rigorous third-party review to ensure accuracy and accountability." So if you\'re looking for a new bag for your vacation season this summer, Hamilton Perkins just may be your solution. Special thanks to Daniel Zhu, Operations department for team Hamilton Perkins Collection. He told me that the company produces one of the world\'s first impactful and ethical designer bags made entirely out of recycled plastic bottles and billboard vinyl. The Hamilton Perkins Collection Earth bag reduces waste levels, cuts carbon emissions in the environment, and conserves water. I\'m writing on behalf of Hamilton, the company founder, to ask if you would consider having him as a guest on your podcast. He would love the opportunity to discuss the unique bag making process and his successful experience in creating an environmentally sustainable product and supply chain.

Supply Solutions Distributor Leader Meredith Reuben Show 046

Supply Solutions Enterprise Six Sigma Business Success Planning Meredith Reuben Show 046 Start up Round We discussed supply solutions, Six Sigma and Business Success Planning with Meredith Reuben, CEO of EBP Supply. A quick glimpse into the legacy of her family business helps reveal why Meredith\\u2019s pull to lead it was so strong. In 1918, her grandparents, Samuel and Sadye Baum, started EBP Supply Solutions as Easter Bag & Paper in Bridgeport, CT. BP Supply Solutions is a leading distribution partner that provides a broad range of cleaning and foodservice supplies and services for businesses that rely on best-in-class insight, products & tools, and demand custom, transparent relationships. The company services organizations in the eastern United States across buildings, institutions (including government and education), healthcare, recreation, and food service markets. Headquartered in Milford, CT, it operates out of three distribution centers (Milford CT, Tewksbury, MA, and Cranbury, NJ) and achieves national distribution in partnership with Network\\xae Distribution Services. EBP is fully-owned and operated by Meredith Reuben, CEO; is classified as a Women\\u2019s Business Enterprise; and holds WBENC National Certificate Number 243449. For more information, listenup to the interview. Meredith Reuben left her job as a lawyer to lead the family business, EBP Supply Solutions into its third generation of ownership. During her tenure, EBP Supply has grown from a local distributorship servicing a small area in Connecticut to a regional supply solutions enterprise. Meredith reveals how natural curiosity, undeterred perseverance and focus can help you achieve whatever goals you wish to reach. Meredith was in her late 20s when she walked away from her law career to join the family business. EBP Supply Solutions, which was known as Eastern Bag & Paper at the time. EBP continues to grow by making smart acquisitions like Salem Paper in the Boston area. These continued smarter acquisitions strengthened their ability to service the entire State of Connecticut. As Meredith worked to grow the business, she was also growing her family. She admits that it was a challenging time as she balanced the demands of the business and the needs of her young children and hard working lawyer husband. \\u201cAs a mother, you are in operational mode when your kids are young,\\u201d she said, \\u201cIt can be stressful. But early on, learned to set an annual priority list. That really helped me to allocate my time between career and family. Sure, I felt the guilt, I was there to drive them to school, and I made it a point to be home for dinner so I could hear about their day and do homework with them. Making that the priority and aligning the rest of my activities around that helped me tremendously.\\u201d While she credits having a Supportive spouse, she also started a walking group with other women in the neighborhood. This sisterhood helped offer support as she worked to balance the challenges of career and family. Meredith led her EBP Supply Company a new 166,00 square foot facility in Milford Connecticut just 12 miles north of Bridgeport. This enabled them to consolidate operations into a centralized warehouse. They also have two additional facilities each with 166,000 square feet. Meredith represents the third generation of leadership in the family business and now how son represents the fourth generation. Looking back, she recognizes the many challenges she overcame during that period, including the difficulties of identifying how she wanted to approach her management and leadership style. \\u201cWhether or not you are inheriting the company from your mother or father, or succeeding in your position from a strong manager, one of the biggest challenges- particularly, if it is going from male to female- is what kind of persona or style should you assume?\\u201d Her father and mother had great names in the industry and quickly learned that she did not have to copy their styles or strengths. What she needed was to be congruent to her own personality and utilize her strengths, and surround herself with people who supplemented areas where she wasn\\u2019t strong, contribute all of her efforts in her own unique way. That effort proved to be ambitious- she led the Company through several subsequent acquisitions and along with her team, grew EBP to be a regional distributor which now serves enterprises in all of New England and the Middle Atlantic States, The desire to help people grow and success had helped drive EBP\\u2019s strategic plan. Recognizing that an organization can only be its best when driven by a diverse group of stakeholders with different voices and backgrounds, she is working with the leadership of EBP to set goals around diversity, Meredith works to empower women through mentorship programs within EBP, Locally and internationally. She does this through local family business groups, the ISSA Hygieia Network, and through WIN, which is a group within Network Distribution, an international buying and selling organization. She wants to see more women in leadership positions throughout the cleaning industry. She has surrounded herself with a highly capable team of professionals who have brought skill sets to continuously improve the efficiency, productivity, Culture and operations in place. Her son Andrew is currently the Vice President of Marketing,: One of her favorite poems, which she keeps on her desk to inspire her daily, is \\u201cif,\\u201d written by Rudyard Kipling On the best advice, she\\u2019s received: \\u201cUnderstand the objectives and ignore all the noise.\\u201d \\u2013 Jerry Rueben, her father. Meredith on leading: if you\\u2019re going to survive and thrive, you need to read, be Curious, and constantly have a learning and open mentality. She surrounds herself with people who share this same quality. It\\u2019s whom she hires.

Video Resume Platform Startup Rezzio Camera Ready Show 041

Video Resume Platform Rezzio was founded at the heart of Drexel University\'s college of entrepreneurship, Close School of Entrepreneurship. The school provides students with the tools and knowledge to help bring their concepts to fruition. Rezzio started in a Drexel University classroom and today has helped Rezzio showcase their personality. Jessica Sarkisian, founder graduated from Drexel University in June of 2015. Jessica knew there was more to getting a job than submitting a simple resume and application. Jessica played Division 1 soccer for four years at Drexel, leaving her resume full of nothing more than soccer accomplishments. Though she worked over forty hours a week dedicating her time to a sport, her resume did not reflect her hard work, devotion, and personality. 80% of people do not believe their paper resume reflects their capabilities or personalities. Referring back to Life Strategies entrepreneurship class at Drexel University, video resumes were a class requirement. Though it was a requirement to create a video many students did not know where to start. How do I make a video resume that shows my personality and lands me the job? Thus, Rezzio was born. Rezzio began as a video resume platform, showing candidates how to create a video resume that best depicts their personality. After a year of research and development, Rezzio has perfected its 3-step process to LAND THE JOB. Enhancing individuals personal profiles (such as LinkedIn) and changing the way people show their personality when applying for jobs. Wrap up round:

Governance, Strategy Meets Growth, Sage Advice From Thomas L. Doorley, III Sage Partners, CoFounder, CEO, Chairman Show 039

\\xa0

Governance, strategy meets growth, sage advice from Thomas L. Doorley, Chairman, CEO, Cofounder. Tom tells us it\\u2019s satisfying to help entrepreneur\'s across the full cycle of Stage 0 (idea) through to Stage 4 (sustainable enterprise).All young companies have to face the daunting task of \\u201ccrossing the Valley of Death\\u201d, also known in academic circles as \\u201ccrossing the Chasm\\u201d. This is the fact that describes the competitive dynamics in a business sector where lots of small, high-growth, young companies exist and a few much larger, more established companies have scale and scope. The challenge: How to go from young/small (Stage 1-2) to the other side of the Valley (Stage 4) where they have enough process, structure, and scale in place to be \\u2018sustainable\\u2019

In the case of his first startup, Braxton Associates, a strategy consulting firm launched after the Boston Consulting Group defined the consulting space they named\\u201dStrategy\\u201d and Bain & Co followed suit, we were half a decade late to the game. They grew organically from their Boston base to a second office in London and a joint venture in Tokyo (he knew they had to be global). They grew rapidly to about 100 professionals. His Valley to jump was the challenge to be 10X the size to meet the competition in the battle for major clients. They were approached by the then CEO of Touche Ross (prior to their merger with Deloitte) to become their operational and IT consultancy into the sphere of C-Suite advisors. Two years after they joined the merger with Deloitte was consummated.

Tom has helped successful entrepreneur\'s like Matthew Marolda who is now Chief Analytics Officer at Legendary Entertainment. He formed and runs Legendary\\u2019s Applied Analytics division, which uses data and analytics to drive strategic decisions across all aspects of the company. Prior to Legendary, Matt Marolda founded StratBridge LLC in 1999. StratBridge had two software solutions businesses: \\u201cmoneyball\\u201d player analysis software used by many organizations in the NFL, NBA, European Football and Major League Soccer (sold to XOS Digital in 2012), and dynamic pricing and revenue analysis software used by many professional sports teams (acquired by Legendary in 2014, after Mr. Marolda had joined Legendary). He earned his MBA at the Tuck School at Dartmouth where he won the Adams Award for Excellence in Entrepreneurship. Matt Marolda graduated from Bowdoin College with Honors, earning majors in economics and mathematics and a minor in art history.

Tom\'s other clients: Northrop Grumman, Deloitte, and Abeam Consulting (Japan). Most recently the New England Region of Deloitte for Retired Partners honored Tom in their Hall of Fame \\u2013 this past December 2016. Tom spoke to a group of 2000 employees about a balanced life.
