Alan F3 Zorro Blakeborough Troublemaker at Tax Titans

The media is catching on to a major problem in the accounting sector. There is a massive shortage of skilled accountants. Some companies might make the mistake of bringing on less-experienced personnel to do the books. This will inevitably lead to more ICFR shortcomings and fraud. Alan F3 Zorro Blakeborough thinks it's the perfect time to overhaul the accounting sector.

Jessica Wolf Troublemaker at Skye

There's a lot of buzz about e-learning and business/life coaching, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw these statistics: People in India, Brazil and China invest the most worldwide.

Anjani Annumalla Troublemaker at Bunafr

If you never thought the coffee sector needed to be disrupted, consider this: Coffee can only be purchased after some company along this supply chain roasts the green coffee beans the way they think it should taste. Another consideration in the sector is the 25M coffee farming families who live below the poverty line. Bunafr's vision is to help these farmers by democratizing coffee roasting, and to allow coffee lovers to have it their way.

Perry Griffith and Harry Dubke Troublemakers at Cortado

I'm convinced that entrepreneurs are different than regular working people. They see opportunities and jump in, overcoming the risks and setbacks. The dynamic duo of Harry Dubke and Perry Griffith spotted something in the short-term housing market nearby to universities. This niche of the real estate business was never figured out by the giant multi-tenant companies. But Harry and Perry figured it out very quickly, and now they're poised for a great run.

Rolan Reichel Troublemaker at Arrow

I love it when entrepreneurs are at the right place and the right time.

Rolan Reichel of Arrow found a massive and underserved market. He and his team invented precisely the right software to help this group gain new clients. This could become a huge new market.

Doug Standley Troublemaker at niolabs

Confidence is rarely lacking in disruptive leaders. Doug Standley of niolabs is no exception. In his years leading teams at Deloitte, he was nicknamed "the scud missile" due to his sharp honesty. During the years from 2004 to 2013, companies were spending tons of money on technologies based on a model of supply economics, not demand economics. In those years, Doug saved a lot of money and created a lot of wealth for a lot of very large companies.

It's so much fun interviewing CEOs who are solving problems we didn't know we had.

Dr. Keith Arbeitman has perfected oral care with SymplBrush, which delivers 20x the bristle coverage and is 137% better at reducing gingivitis.

As you'll hear in this podcast, Greg Kerber was a troublemaker from day one. But even with all his success, all his experience and know-how, he's humble. One example is that, like many entrepreneurs, he describes Gnome Serum differentiators based on their product attributes. And these are truly inventive. But as you'll come to learn, I think their differentiators are cultural. They may not fully understand why, but they're troublemakers.
