"Put in a little bit of effort for a big payoff” - Megan Collins

Megan Collins - Founder of Style Girlfriend

Men’s style expert and former nationally-syndicated newspaper columnist, Megan Collins first discovered an appreciation for men’s clothing through inheriting her older brother’s hand-me-downs.

Today, Megan is making it “okay for guys to try,” through Style Girlfriend - the only lifestyle destination of its kind for real guys seeking real advice from a friendly, female voice. This girl-next-door approach to providing straightforward support to guys who want to up their game has captured the attention of thousands of grateful readers, as well as brands like Visa, H&M, NFL, Rogaine, and G by Guess. As the face of Style Girlfriend, Megan also appears regularly in fashion, menswear, and lifestyle publications and websites including: GQ, Esquire, Men's Health, Lucky, Metro, and the Huffington Post.

Perhaps most powerfully, Megan has opened up a trusted dialogue with her audience, tackling everything from the proper pant length to dressing for a first date. Style Girlfriend is the rare place where guys feel comfortable connecting - with Megan, her contributors, and with each other. Topics covered include style (of course), food, fitness, home and travel, but also the stereotypes and insecurities that too often keep men and women at odds with one another. In this regard, Megan’s work goes far beyond the superficial.

Originally from Wisconsin, Megan now resides happily in New York City.

"Find what matters to you and only do that." - Jon Nastor

Jon is a proud dad, husband and online entrepreneur who loves creating, marketing and selling cool things online.

Even the best products in the world do not sell themselves, it has never happened and it never will. Jon has built his own business and several client’s businesses with his understanding of how to create and build products,  and more importantly, take them to market.

Unable since birth to settle for how things should be, he constantly aims to satisfy pains and frustrations with products that make people’s life easier.

He is co-founder of VelocityPage, a WordPress plugin that allows anyone to create beautiful landing pages in minutes — without code.

Jon spent his earlier years travelling coast-to-coast across Canada playing drums in several punk rock bands. Although not a punk in fashion, he has never let go of the D.I.Y. ethic that taught him: if you want something to change, you have to do it, get it done, or stop complaining about it.

"I want to put a fire underneath me and I want to help others to light their fire and keep it going." - Thomas Dyches

Thomas Dyches - Co-Founder & CMO of Generation Labs

An accomplished artist as a child, Thomas has always had a talent for producing designs that offer a unique perspective. He is the consummate creative, an idea guy, who goes by the moniker “The Firestarter.”

In 1998, Thomas earned his degree in Multimedia & Graphic Design. He designed his first website that year and has been designing sites ever since. Throughout his career he has developed expertise in numerous fields. He strives to marry the artistic side of his brain with his other love—marketing—specifically for SEO and Social Media. Recently, he managed the social campaign of the nation’s largest animal-control network.

Thomas is constantly learning new technologies. “Adapt or die!” he says.

Most of his career has been spent as an entrepreneur but he served for a time as a production manager for Quebecor World Inc. which is the largest tabloid printer in Canada.

He has been the head of design and marketing on a wide range of projects for clients ranging from a world-class ski resort, a U.S. Congressman, and sales campaigns throughout the Intermountain West for store chains such as Staples, Office Depot, and Albertsons.

Thomas oversaw the development of email marketing software which has been used to send over a million emails.

When he’s not at “the Lab” creating design+marketing awesomeness, he devotes his time to his 3 genius kids and 1 perfect wife. You can always find him running (meditating) on the beautiful, red rock trails of Southern Utah or canyoneering the slot canyons of magnificent Zion National Park. He has competed in two Ironman competitions and is an evangelist of healthy lifestyles.

In 2016, Thomas will receive his second degree from WGU in Marketing Management.

Thomas has been diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder. This creates specific challenges for him but also makes him a better entrepreneur.
