Visual content: We all know we need it … but many of us don’t have the skills, tools, or knowledge of how to do it well.

Ever wonder why Google is so successful?

Is it their quirky culture? Fancy office space? Rigorous hiring process?

The year was 2006. Sophia Amoruso was sitting in her apartment in a bathrobe, putting together a vintage clothes store on eBay. She was the “one man band” behind Nasty Gal: finding the vintage clothes, styling the outfits, modeling them for product pictures, shipping her products to eager customers, and collecting feedback along the way.

Years later, Nasty Gal was generating $100 million in revenue, employing hundreds of employees in a swanky LA office, and selling clothes in both online and brick-and-mortar locations.

When Jonah Peretti was in college, he didn’t think he’d be founding and growing two of the biggest internet media empires in the world. He was an environmental studies major who took computer classes on the side — but he was always curious about why ideas spread.

Marc Maron is a comedian who has appeared on everything from Late Night with Conan O’Brien to VH1, HBO, and Comedy Central, but it’s his work outside the standup comedy circuit that has been getting him a lot of attention these past few years.

Through nearly 40 episodes of The Growth Show, we’ve seen a consistent theme when it comes to growth: It’s all about finding the right people.

But according to Ghostery CEO Scott Meyer, your definition of “right” should change as your company grows. The employees who help you get to your first million in revenue are not the ones who will help get you to $10 million in revenue — and that’s okay. Change is a key part of growth.

“Bad news for craft beer lovers: The Alchemist is not going to reopen after all. The pub and brewery in Waterbury, Vt., were destroyed by Hurricane Irene in August. The owners, John and Jen Kimmich, had been planning to rebuild and reopen, but they have learned that insurance will not cover the losses in the basement, where the brewery was located.”

Great entrepreneurs tend to gravitate toward the hard challenges.

That’s exactly Jeff Raider did when he started Harry’s, a company that sells razors, blades, and shaving gel right from their website.

One of the fasting-growing wine brands in the U.S. doesn’t own any vineyards. They don’t plant any grapes. They don’t even own any wineries. Instead, they buy and re-sell premium wines.

It all began during the last recession. 90+ Cellars President Kevin Mehra saw some big inefficiencies in the wine market, so he came up with a plan to flip the industry on its head.
