    Jun 5 2025

    Sir Kensington’s co-founder and former CEO Mark Ramadan joins Guy on the Advice Line, where they work through business challenges with three early-stage founders.

    Today we meet Pat, a physician assistant working to bring his solution for clogged sinks to major retailers. Then Lucas, a chef whose local quick service taco joint is fending off national competition. And Beth, a working mom whose baby products brand is caught in the "messy middle" between launch and mass scale.

    And to hear the story of how Sir Kensington’s was founded, check out Mark's first appearance on the show in 2023.

  • Tatcha: Vicky Tsai (July 2020)
    Jun 2 2025

    In 2008, Vicky Tsai walked away from a startup job and set out to rediscover herself on a trip to Japan. In Kyoto, she had an unforgettable meeting with a geisha, and learned about the face creams and blotting papers that the traditional Japanese hostesses had used for centuries. But as she contemplated selling those products in the U.S., experts on both sides of the Pacific told her it would never work. Strapped for money and juggling multiple jobs, Vicky worked out of her parents' garage, pitching her new brand—Tatcha—on QVC and steadily growing it. In 2019, Unilever acquired Tatcha for a reported $500 million.

  • Advice Line with Steve Holmes of goba Sports Group
    May 29 2025

    Springfree Trampoline founder Steve Holmes joins Guy on the Advice Line, where they answer questions from three early-stage entrepreneurs. Plus, Steve’s tariff navigation guidance for businesses manufacturing products outside of the U.S.

    First we meet Ikechukwu in Maryland, who’s trying to lean into a core demographic without alienating customers from his activewear brand. Then Cody in Nevada, who’s building a year-round advertising strategy for a largely seasonal product: DEET-free bug repellant. And Kenesha in Ontario, who’s looking to maintain the momentum of a viral moment for her Caribbean-inspired chocolate.

    Thank you to the founders of Veii Apparel, Grand Tongo, and One More Cocoa for being a part of our show.

The perfect podcast for every inventor, self-starter, and visionary. It’s isolating when you see things others don’t, that are practical and useful. But it’s a whole hecka of a lot more difficult getting it done than people think. Doubly so for the “easy” gadgets. Thank you Guy!

Ingenious
