Show Notes

Givz the first Purpose Driven Performance marketing platform. 

"As simple as a discount, as impactful as a donation”. That’s what GIVZ is all about, and today we bring Founder Andrew Forman to the show.

Before founding GIVZ, Andrew spent 6 years in investment banking and was the treasurer of a nonprofit organization. 

He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA in Mathematics and Economics from Hamilton College.  

He now lives in New York, is a proud dad of a 3-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son, and still tries to make time for recreational sports. 

As far as Givz, they help Shopify merchants use donation incentives vs. discounts. If you're ready to detox from the 'discount drug', check out the Givz playbook. The link will be in the show description, just scroll down! 

Givz is the proven tool for driving sales and better engaging consumers over all age and income groups. Givz lets you convert discounts into donations, adding a tangible value of purpose and meaning to every sale. 

Givz is more cost-effective than discount campaigns and consumers can support organizations and causes close to their heart, while charities receive funding they would otherwise not get.

Stay tuned for this week’s spotlight story near the halfway point of each show. As we have a former investment banker turned entrepreneur on the show today, we are going to touch on an article titled, “Investment Bankers Turned Entrepreneurs: The Critical Skills Required to Succeed”, then get Andrew’s take on it. Follow along here

-Motivating a team vs. Motivating an employee
-When the time is right to leave corporate
-Balancing being a dad and owning a company
-Why "The Hard Things of Hard Things" made an impact, and so much more. Enjoy the show.
