  • NWA Founders Fan

    What an incredible idea by Nick Beyer and Cameron Clark. NWA is an area of so much entrepreneurship and they are opening up the lid by letting us hear about local founders and business owners. I know I will learn so much from the people that they have on the podcast. I definitely recommend a listen/follow regardless if you are local or not. Always something to learn from their questions and guest experiences. An easy 5 star recommendation.

#45 - Allisha Watkins (Paradox)
Q: What makes Paradox different from typical shopper or retail marketing firms?
Paradox sits at the intersection of strategy, branding, packaging, and retail marketing, serving challenger brands with end-to-end capabilities that large firms or traditional shopper agencies don't offer, especially in Northwest Arkansas.
#45 - Allisha Watkins (Paradox)
Q: How do you measure growth and client retention?
They use an EOS-based framework, with a long-term 10-year vision, and maintain a 90% client retention target, focusing on ongoing relationships and value delivery rather than chasing new clients aggressively.
#45 - Allisha Watkins (Paradox)
Q: What was the turning point that made the business take off after rewriting the playbook in 2023?
They built a solid foundation, expanded the service offering to include true brand development and packaging, adopted data-driven strategies, and aligned the team around a clear vision, leading to stronger client results and growth.
#45 - Allisha Watkins (Paradox)
Q: Let's back up and talk about Paradox; when did you start the business and did you have to raise money?
Two founders launched in 2019 with energy and a strong attorney's support; they started lean, with no external funding, combining their decades of experience and a shared leadership dynamic.
#25 - Carl Garrett (Table Mesa Restaurant Group)
Q: Why build a business in Northwest Arkansas?
Northwest Arkansas offers a strong combination of anchor employers, a growing ecosystem, and a supportive community that makes it possible to grow diverse concepts. The region provides a mix of stability and opportunity, though costs can be high for developers and tenants, so choosing the right deals matters.
