On Mulligans & Mishaps, we hit the golf course with business leaders to talk about their biggest mistakesâand the decisions they wish they could take a mulligan on.
đ€ This time, weâre teeing it up with venture capitalist Timothy McLoughlin, Managing Partner at Cofounders Capital. đ€
Tim has heard thousands of startup pitches. Heâs made big bets, passed on some winners, and learned the hard way that trust issues in investing can be costly. Oh, and thereâs also that one company he passed on⊠that went on to sell just a few months later for a massive payday. đŹ
đ° What happens when investors get it wrong? How do founders know when itâs time to fold? And whatâs Timâs biggest personal mulligan?
Mulligans & Mishaps is produced by Earfluence and hosted by Jason Gillikin.
Thank you to Wildwood Green in North Raleigh.

Abha Bowers has a lot going on. As the CEO of Walk West, a fitness and nutrition coach, and mom to two young kids, she was feeling the pressure of doing all the things. So she made a choice - it was time to step down from Walk West.
She scheduled a meeting with Chairman Donald Thompson and handed him her resignation letter.
But he wouldn't accept it.
Today, Donald and Abha talk about that interaction, lessons learned about empathetic leadership, and the reality of work/life balance.

Nichole Lowe was happy enough at her corporate job, but then a life-threatening event happened where she decided it was time to reprioritize. She realized life was short, and she wanted more.
Long before the coaching boom, she became a nutrition coach, and absolutely loved it. But with coaching, she discovered a huge challenge - while anyone could be a coach, no one was helping these coaches run their businesses.
So she founded Zoee.
Today, Nichole talks about the growth of Zoee and the reasons WHY coaching in entrepreneurship is so valuable to growth.

I don't know where to start. I've got to figure out billing and scheduling and CRM and et cetera, et cetera. And it's just chaotic out there. So that's when I thought, you know what? There's got to be a better way. I had my shark tank moment."

5 years ago, Donald Thompson invested in our company Earfluence because he saw an untapped opportunity to leverage podcasting to amplify your expertise. But this isn't about the growth of the business Earfluence - this is about the rise of "Earfluence" as a concept.
Through his work as an executive coach, his leadership with The Diversity Movement, and through hosting his own podcast High Octane Leadership, Don has seen the influence podcasting in overall business strategy.
He sees podcasting as a dual-faceted tool: creating your own podcast to establish your voice and brand, and participating as a guest on others' shows to gain third-party credibility and reach new audiences. With an emphasis on content reuse, Don knows the power of podcasting to offer consistent, impactful communication, making it a low-cost, high-impact platform for building personal brands and business relationships.
In a world where just about everyone doubts the marketing messages they receive - podcasting is viewed as authentic content that can bridge trust gaps and open doors to significant business opportunities, just like it has for Don.Let's find out how.

How do you think of conferences as part of your overall marketing strategy? As an agency, we have so many options for marketing - paid ads, social media, podcasting, and yes, conferences. But where should we be spending our time and resources?
Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to sponsor the PrideLife Expo from Harmony, the North Carolina LGBTQ+ Allied Chamber of Commerce. Weâve been a member of the chamber for a couple of years, and when we heard about the expo, we jumped at the chance to be one of the vendors.
But honestly, I wasnât sure about our strategy at the event. So we brought our microphones and asked some of the attendees what they think about conferences and the best way to leverage them.
Big thank you to Deanna Jones, Brian Castle from Parklife Communications, and Jamie Ousterout from The Diversity Movement. Also, if you're interested in Harmony NC or next year's PrideLife Expo, visit HarmonyNC.org.

Whether we like it or not, we're all in business development, aka sales. But unfortunately, that word - "sales" - might make you cringe because you think of the used car salesman, or scenes from the movie Boiler Room, or all those dang calls you get from numbers that should have been flagged as "Scam Likely"!
But sales doesn't have to be like that at all. In fact, according to Jed Byrne, sales is "helping people you like get what they want."
Today, Jed joins us to share some of his tips for scrappy business development.

Many of us just don't want to have to learn and spend time on one more thing. But at the same time, we want to know how to build an audience for our businesses and personal brands.
So how can we do it?

As the Founder and CEO of LawPods, Robert Ingalls has seen thousands of guest pitches - and they're mostly a complete waste of his time. The potential guest or their publicist meant well, but too often the pitches are spray-and-pray, copy-and-paste, and TL;DR.
So how can podcast guests create pitches that get podcast hosts' attention and get them booked?

It's easy to approach another business owner and say "Hey if we can refer you, we get X% of the revenue, and vice versa."
But those relationships rarely work, because it's not YOUR job to sell for the other company, and it's not THEIR job to sell for yours. Both parties need to focus on what they do best.
So how can we create business partnerships that truly matter?
Let's find out from two CEOs who recently started a partnership that could change the trajectory of their businesses - Matt Sheehan from Exhale and Dean Sackett from Homestead Building Company.
