Transcript of Interview With Rick Elmore – Founder of SIMPLYNOTED.COM

Great, well, thanks for holding me, like You send my backgrounds in athletes, football, the sport that I love with the University of Arizona, played for Mike’s tops in 2006, was really lucky and had a good career, there was drafted in genitalia, you got to spend a few years there in the belly, chopped am eventually like most, or you have to hang up the shoulder pads and cleans and get into the real world.

Okay, you’re a very fascinating character to me, because from your athletic background, a, you’ll give you this it up, I’ll tell you why, because you went from football into selling medical equipment and then now you help this handwritten is…

Rick Elmore during his NFL days. He was on 6 different teams during his short football career. Rick went on to great things. He was one of the top 1% in the nation while he sold medical equipment and then went on to develop Simplynoted.com.

There’s nothing like this out there. And so to start this up in the way that you did, and all the effort and time that went into it, there had to have been something in your thinking process that made you decide that this thing was gonna be the thing that you were gonna spend that much time and energy on, and I would love to hear what… What was the reasoning?

Exactly, so I grew up in the generation without technology, I didn’t get my first cell phone until I was almost 17 years old, and it was one of those bricks too, when I was being recruited in high school, any coach… I think it was 29 or 30 division when football offers or scholarships, but the coaches that really set out to me with the ones that sent me hand-written up that show me that they invest some time into reaching out to me, I got tons of printed letters and postcards.

<—— Tech Problems – The Zoom Froze —->

You were in the middle of telling us about your coach would send you the hand-written note, and I just wanted to make the point that you’re a tough guy and you come across really forthright, but clearly you have a huge heart, and that’s kind of what I wanted to highlight here and you live a great story.

Alright, so yeah, a handwritten notes, Why did it mean so much? And why they have impacted in my life so much, so there was a good story. Back in 2012, when I was playing for the San Francisco 49ers, I left the team after that season, we went to the NSC championship game and lost write for the Super Bowl. So it was a pretty awesome year, but when I left the team, coach harbor, a very influential leader, head coach in the NFL, he’s now back in the college ranks. You sent me a handwritten note, and when I was like 23, 24 at the time, and when I got that three or four weeks later after I left, I just…

That’s great, and I know you have… You’re big on follow-up, so I’m assuming you might have a whole system and philosophy, that’s what I’m guessing.

You’re right, there’s second 70 sea. One thing I notice when doing research on you, you mentioned I thought this was really important that you don’t like to overlook any small opportunity because you never know where it’s going to lead, and so that kind of every… So can you give us an example of a small… Look like a small opportunity on the surface that turned out to be something big.

Wow, that’s a great attitude. So what is that? When you say you go above and beyond, can you give us examples of what it was

So you are able to sell these notes and letters with him without envelopes, they’re very affordably, and after talking to you now for a few minutes, I’m assuming it’s gonna be on great paper and have a quality and blood stuff with the manufacturing and all equipment that you have… And the materials you need. How is that possible? Really to be that competitive.

Yeah. Wow, that is really remarkable. ’cause from watching the robot do its thing, I wouldn’t… It looks so real, but I had no idea that you… Nickerson is handwriting, so… Yeah, go ahead, please.

I don’t care. In the post office, there’s like 74 billion pieces of First Class Mail alone sent every year. I don’t even want 5% of that, but it would be a nightmare to manage. So Simplynoted wants to work with clients that are good people that understand the value of the service, we’re not trying to monopolize anything, I’m happy just to get out there and work with great people and provide a great service.

Okay, so you haven’t really thought of other applications for this then, in what ways… Well, I don’t know. Just listening to it. It’s so complex. I don’t know, I haven’t…

I was just thinking even a book or a textbook to make it look like somebody had actually physically written it, and that might be something to get rid of e-books and maybe having an alternative, would that be cheaper than regular printing.

And maybe lastly, I’m just curious, have you tried to infiltrate for the football organizations and with this technology and…

Well, that’s great, I wish you much. Continued success. This has been an awesome interview. And you’re super impressive. Rick, thank you very much for being here.
