JJ Ramberg is a tech entrepreneur and Co-Founder of Goodpods, a platform dedicated to recommending podcasts curated to your own particular interests and tastes. An MBA graduate from Stanford University, JJ was the national TV host of MSNBC’s second longest running program, Your Business - a program originally slated to run for 6 months and ran for 12 years! In the same period she launched her first business, Goodshop, an online coupon site for consumers to save money. To date, Goodshop has donated more than $13 million to charity. JJ was also host of the podcast Been There Built That and presented a series with BBC World News called Follow The Food.
JJ joins us today to share the story of Goodpods incredible success, from an idea she shared with her brother, to the platform being shared by Kim Kardashian. We discuss how the early days of Goodshop saw the beginning of a crazy 5 year period where JJ married and had 3 children while hosting her TV show, Your Business. We discuss how COVID-19 affected the tone of the Goodpods launch this year, and the ensuing factors JJ and her partners had to consider. JJ also shares what she does to make family time when working at home, and her new bouncing hobby she’s discovered since she and her family have moved from New York to Los Angeles.
“It’s about having an idea and following through with it.” - JJ Ramberg
