The blog and company
Oddpodz blog is an extension of Oddpodz.com. We are a resource and social network for emerging start-ups, small businesses and creative-minded entrepreneurs looking for ways to grow their ideas and enterprises into sustainable ventures.

We are a place for creative-minded collaboration, networking, ideas, insight and business know-how. We are also a work in progress. In the beginning, Oddpodz focused on creative and marketing industries, because that’s where the founders came from. However, as our community has grown, so has the number of requests for a broader pod of knowledge addressing all business disciplines and challenges. Stay tuned, we’ve got lots more good stuff coming.

Our community is primarily made up of Oddpodz. We think differently. We are the idea generation – business people, problem solvers, artists, creators, marketers, innovators, big picture thinkers, designers, and storytellers. We build organizations, entertain, inspire and keep the world moving forward.

Oddpodz was founded by two entrepreneurs Karen Post and Jocelyn Ring.

Karen (aka Branding Diva) is a published author (Brain Tattoos), has been a columnist for Fastcompany.com, and is currently an international speaker and consultant on branding matters. She loves music, fashion, art, food and all things that make their own rules and are unique. She gets annoyed by conformity and can’t understand why entrepreneurial risk scares so many people. Her favorite past times are thinking, creating, playing tennis and soaking up good tunes.

Jocelyn is a former Wall-Streeter who strode along the beaten path, but eventually followed her desire to wander off and travel in more exciting uncharted territory. After several years in investment banking she obtained her MBA at the Stern School of Business. She did not follow her classmates back to Wall Street and corporate America. She let her horse decide where they should live. He chose Florida. She left everything familiar behind and hung out a shingle as a branding and strategy consultant. She loves learning random facts, painting, puzzles, and people and things that do things their own way. Her other favorite past times are travel and show jumping.
