Advice Line with Jamie Siminoff of Ring (August 2024)

How I Built This with Guy Raz

Ring founder Jamie Siminoff joins Guy on the Advice Line, where they answer questions from three founders about balancing short- and long-term goals.

Today, we meet Vico, an industrial designer in southern California who's launching a crowdfunding campaign for his patented ergonomic desk. Then Iyin, a Baltimore-based product specialist seeking to balance accessibility and profitability for her ethically-sourced chocolate brand. And Franchesca, an Atlanta area educator deliberating whether to pursue small-business certifications for her motivational classroom posters.

Thank you to the founders of ErgoFlex Desk, Luji's Chocolate, and Thrive12 for being a part of a show.
