No Debt No Broker

Have you ever pondered the awesome power of the Internet and
wondered, "How can I use this tool to come up with something that
will revolutionize a certain sector of the economy?" If you were
born before the internet era, like a lot of us, you probably
have. And you probably haven’t been able to come up with
anything. Which is what separates you, and the rest of us, from
Stephanie's two guests on this edition of Out to Lunch Baton
Rouge. 


Stephanie Hoskins created Debtle. It's a cloud-based platform
that enables organizations and individuals to easily and
efficiently negotiate and settle overdue invoices and bad debt
accounts, in a transparent and frictionless manner.


This may just be as significant an invention as the fountain of
youth or a perpetual motion machine! How does Debtle do it?
Essentially, it lets the cloud-based software do the negotiating
in a transparent process that takes the uncomfortable personal
stuff out of these situations.


Stephanie Hoskins co-founded the company in 2019. Her career in
corporate finance and strategy spans over a decade and she has
three degrees in finance, including a Ph D from LSU. She is
passionate about financial inclusion, volunteering, and her
family - which includes her co-founder and husband,
Houston.  


Barret Blondeau is founder and owner of Falaya. It's a DIY real
estate listing platform that enables buyers and sellers to handle
an entire transaction – from the listing to negotiating the
contract on their own.


Say goodbye to your real estate broker. Falaya automates the
listing input, property disclosure, scheduling and contract
negotiations processes - and it will even refer consumers to an
expert if one is needed.


Barret knows real estate from the perspective of a broker – he
worked as one for several years before founding Falaya in 2018.
In the years since, it has grown and also raised the ire of some
competitors out there who were threatened enough to force Falaya
- which used to be called something else - to change their name.


Barret is a native of Baton Rouge who earned his business degree
and MBA from LSU.
