Between 2013-2015, Corina Corina has expanded her fan base by embarking on 8 self- booked national tours, following being featured in multiple showcases at South by Southwest and Canada’s North by Northwest. In addition to her tours, she also found time to release two EPs and produce and curate dozens of live events in New York City and all over the country. Corina also performs in the acoustic blues duo Max Caddy, whose 2013 debut EP, "Caddy Tracks,” garnered praise from fans and music journalists alike.

In late 2013, Corina Corina topped off her monumental year by launching a successfully funded IndieGoGo campaign to help complete, “The Free Way.” which she calls "the best work she's ever done to date.”

In 2014, Corina Corina signed with the Deep Thinka Booking Agency and expands her fan base by spending over half the year touring nationally. This past summer, she has begun her third full length LP, “Hangover Music” which will be written and produced entirely by she and Willie Green and will be released in 2016.

They embarked on the adventure and started calling leads out of Jeremy's basement. Kale was the salesman after he came home from work and Jeremy was the coach/mentor. This was our their successful venture together.

Since then Kale and Jeremy have loved being entrepreneurs, they've started many companies and have seen great success with many of them. Their biggest years in terms of revenue was about $10 million with a tax and accounting company from 2008 till 2012 . After awhile they launched Easier Accounting.

Ep 345: Cam Kashani Interview - The Godmother of Silicon Beach

"Invest in yourself and much as you possibly can." Cam Kashani

Cam Kashani - Founder of CoAccel

Cameron Kashani (Cam) is the Godmother of Silicon Beach. She's a single mom to twin four year old boys, an Expert Speaker with US State Department, 3x founder, Special Advisor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship to US Ambassador and US Embassy Kuwait, on the Innovation Council for SoCal FWD.us, and Advisor for the Bixel Exchange. Cam accelerates the success of Entrepreneurs, and builds startup communities around the world in order to promote world peace and innovation. To date, shes worked with 4000+ Entrepreneurs and 650+ startups. She also has her MBA in marketing and entrepreneurship. Cam is a strong believer in the human element of business, and her vision is a global economy that thrives on a “WE" dynamic. People + Profit.

She began her career as the Director of Marketing of Advanced Sleep Medicine Services, Inc., (ASMS) acquired in 2010. She increased revenues by 60% through a combination of sales, marketing strategy, rebranding, content creation, but mostly, the human element — by implementing the why. The culture shifted, as did productivity and profits.

She left to start her own startup, which was a brutal failure. Though from that failure, spawned the concept of Coloft. In 2010, She cofounded Coloft, the first coworking space in Los Angeles geared towards technology startups and entrepreneurs. During her four years there, Coloft had over 1400 alumni, including Uber LA, Instacart, Fullscreen, Lootcrate and so many more.

After a prolonged divorce from her husband and business partner, she ultimately also parted with Coloft. It wasn’t an easy process, but through her own life lessons she found the need to help individuals accelerate themselves, and detach from their product.

Her newest venture, CoAccel, is the first Human Accelerator, bringing the concept of startup accelerators to a new level, directing energy and focus around the most important piece of the puzzle: the human.
