Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
Hello and welcome back. Welcome back to another episode of Living the Red Life. Joining me today is Polly, and she's got a pretty exciting story to tell and an amazing business. She's an inventor, and what I'm really fascinated to talk about today is the products she's invented have helped impact over a million children's lives and many more millions to come.
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
Yeah, I mean, that's what great entrepreneurship is. It's obviously it's building a great brand, great products, making a lot of money. But really, it's like the other side that most entrepreneurs are focused on is the impact that that can make, right?
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
And I think a lot of us create a product because we see a gap in the market, you know, or we go through some sort of problem ourselves and can't find a solution. So we learn how to fix it. So let's talk a little about the business side too, just quickly. Obviously, you've sold thousands of copies, been in business a long time. And we're going to talk a little today about the who, not how, right?
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
So what does that mean to you? And can you define that for people listening?
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
Yeah, I think... Far too many entrepreneurs get stuck, right, doing all the other stuff. So they're not promoting the product, focused on the marketing, making big partnerships, deals, right, collaborations. I think that's the problem. Like, I think you've got to be able to, you know, find the right people that can do the little things so you can work on the big things.
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
So if someone's listening and they're like, Rudy, that's me, what would you say to them?
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
We're going to dive into her business, how she's done that, and then talk a bit about how she's built the businesses. And one particular thing that's really important that I want to dive into today, which is the who, not how, that you can apply and really grow your business with this model, right? So welcome to the show.
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
Love that. And what's a great, I mean, in your experience, I'll add too, but what's a great first hire for a lot of people listening?
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
Well, I think what's great too, yeah, it's like, it's so easy to hire these virtual assistants or virtual social media people. And yeah, they might not be like super crazy good rock stars, but for a grand a month for a lot of entrepreneurs, even if they just do all the random stuff you're doing, in that saved time, you can easily generate the grand a month, right? The thousand a month.
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
And then in all your extra free time, you can grow the business. So I'm still fascinated when I meet people that don't have you know, at least one virtual assistant doing a bunch of little things for them.
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
And let's talk a little more about the who, not how, you know, that the reason I love that sort of saying, right, is I mean, as entrepreneurs, we fall in the habit of trying to do everything right. And I've learned as I become more successful now, When I want to take on something big, I just go find someone that's like an expert at that, right?
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
So if I want to start doing licensing, I'll hire a licensing expert. If I want to, you know, when we expanded our brand into the LATAM market, So South America. And instead of just trying to run ads in South America, we did two things. We partnered with the biggest education software provider out there that had millions of users already. And they flew me out and I spoke at their events.
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
And then I partnered with actually an old client, a friend of mine that has 8 million followers in that marketplace. And we did some joint products together. And that's a great example of the smart way to do it, you know, the who, right? Not the how, right? The how would have been just, you know, how do I run ads and translate it all into Spanish or whatever?
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
I didn't even need to do that because my friend and the company translated it all for me and brought a translator live on the Zoom calls and everything. So I think that's a great example of the who, not how sort of philosophy. Yeah. For you now, where you're at, what's the next sort of big steps for you that you're working on in the business?
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
So a million people, a million children, pretty crazy impressive. Let's go through that for everyone that doesn't know who you are. How did you help a million children?
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
Yeah, I love that. And I want to talk about the part of that. So if someone's listening, they're like, yeah, I have a product, not a business. What are some things you tips you have and things you discovered when you were diving down that?
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
Love it. Next question I have for you. We've talked a bit about the business product. We've talked about some lessons, right? And higher and finding the right people to help you go to that next level versus just trying to do it yourself. But I like to ask every entrepreneur on here, like, It's not a straight line to success, right?
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
So what's been one of the biggest challenges or problems you've had to overcome since starting the business?
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
improving their handwriting so that's where i am different and i'm i have the knowledge and the expertise behind the product and it's not just a stamp that has been copied yeah love it yeah i mean it's uh whether it's an online course it's a service or it's a product people are going to copy it yeah so i've seen it too many times so uh last question someone's listening they want to check out the products check learn more about you uh or contact you how do they go about doing that
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
Love it. Well, that's a wrap, guys. As always, such an impactful lesson there. And it's so fascinating how one product can change the lives of a million plus people, or in this case, children. That's what we'll strive to do as entrepreneurs. And that's why I wanted to have this feature today and really showcase and highlight that.
Living The Red Life
How Polly Benson Beat Copycats and Built a Purpose-Driven Brand
And hopefully you got some good nuggets and marketing business lessons along the way. So go check out the products, of course, and the brand. And as always, keep living the red life. I'll see you guys soon.

I have no idea why people are there. I don't, I don't get it at all. I don't get it.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
Yeah, because they, you know, it's like, I guess the whole point would be like, can you get on TV to be the one Giants fan like holding up your jersey and just yelling like Jackson Dart? I don't know. I don't know. I don't get it. And like, you know, maybe we're just really out of touch and like losers. I don't I don't know.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
Like, I mean, I'm trying not to be like the anti fun guy, but I don't get how I was. I literally asked my wife. I was like, would you rather be in Times Square for New Year's Eve or at the NFL draft? And she was like, I honestly don't know.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
And I mean, you're so far away from the state. They were doing the aerial shots and you're not even close to the stage. I mean, the people close to the stage, I don't even think... I would say 95% of the audience was not even remotely near the stage area. You're just in this parking lot behind it.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
Correct.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
Yeah. Do you feel the same way about the NBA draft?
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
Maybe it's just an excuse to party, get hammered, and, you know, maybe that's just the sell. Which, you know, Rose trip, and you just get there, and everybody's kind of, you're on an Airbnb for a weekend, and you just kind of do your thing. Maybe that's fun.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
I feel like I like him more than the consensus does. Like, all these GMs and anonymous... I love the anonymous thing today. It was like there was people trying to out-anonymous everyone else with anonymous quotes. I don't know. I mean, obviously, I wasn't in any of the meetings with the guy, but I kind of respected him.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
Like, he seems like he's got a decent head on his shoulders, given who he is, who his dad is. And he got his ass kicked at Colorado almost every single week and really never complained and was just a baller. So... I don't know. I'm not a talent evaluator, but I respect his game.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
But clearly there's just, I think, you know, it was weird on the broadcast because they just kind of refused to ever say like, hey, maybe he's just not that talented. And that's why he's not. They kept, you know, Kuyper kept bringing it up. They kept talking about how, you know, about his dad showing him and it was kind of awkward.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
And maybe it's just, hey, he's not that good of an arm strength guy. And, you know, why are we taking that guy in the first round? Maybe it's as simple as that.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
Well, Van, you watched Jackson Dart. And especially the Florida game was not a pretty watch. Right. But You know, he's got the arm strength and I guess more of the ideal athleticism. He runs a little bit better than Chador does. I don't know. Like, it's one of those things where... Because you're right. Like, he... Like, Colorado's defense was terrible both years he was there.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
And he carried them to, you know, ranked... To, you know, Colorado being a ranked team for most of the time. He's an impressive dude to me. But clearly, you know, I... If you don't have a good arm like that, like the Anthony Richardson thing, like dudes get tricked into that all the time. You know, right. Guys, he's six foot five. He's built like an Adonis. He runs well.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
The one throw the one throw he had last year off his back foot. You know, they'll show that highlight for years to come. It's like, all right, we'll bank on that guy. It's hard to bank on a guy who. All right. What's his main trait? Like he's tough and he's he's kind of accurate or he's pretty accurate, but he doesn't have a great arm.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
He was 50 to 40. Yeah.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
but that's the thing. I was like, man, where would you want to see him? Cause I was thinking during the draft, I'm like, does he, does he fit well in New York or Cleveland in a cold weather city where like, he's got to drive the ball and what could be bad weather. Like I, he's, you know, the saints in a dome, like that feels just way, way bad.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
I don't know what the exact fit is, but I didn't know if he's one of those.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
But I would say the counterpoint would be every draft expert has basically told us that like Cam Ward in last year's draft is going what, like fifth or sixth of all the quarterbacks?
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
So if you think Cam Ward is better than Shador Sanders, which I think we all probably do, at least as a prospect, that's that means he's at least seventh, the seventh best quarterback in, you know, and how many times there's seven quarterbacks going round one. So is he just being was he just kind of being propped up because, hey, we need to latch on to somebody. Quarterbacks are sexy.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
usually two to three go in the first round, like maybe he's up there when like, you know, I guess the statistics would tell you that this draft is just not a great quarterback draft. So I don't know. It seems I really don't know what to believe.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
But that cooled off the last couple of days. It did. No, last couple of weeks. Yeah, yeah. But it almost feels like did we just kind of like talk ourselves into something that was never actually going to be real, you know?
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
I love Hampton to the Chargers. What do you think his... Because what do you think he's going to go in an auction draft? Like, dudes are going to lose that.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
He's like a $40 guy. Yeah, like, he's going to be a top guy. And, you know, there's a lot of people that said, you know, Jenty's like...
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
physically just a freaking special but that Hampton's not that far behind him and I that's like a perfect because all those charges running backs to were just like taking time bombs like you know with all Dobbins is you know just another injury waiting to happen unfortunately and Gus Edwards is like a thousand years old really seems like it like it just seems like a plug and play guy that's going to be like an all pro potentially like in a couple seasons yeah that was one of those if you took him at 12 it's like that's high but that's a nice pick but when you get him at 22 you're like oh
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
The Eagles kind of did it again, too, with Jihad Campbell, right? It was a great pick. Yeah, like they just get another SEC stud who somehow falls. And there's the injury concern, but man.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Shedeur’s Slide, NFL Draft Takes, a Nuggets Code Red and Brunson Goes Villain
Yep.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Rewiring The Brain for Success w/Margarita Pasos
But I think it's so good because it links to, well, a parenting, right? Like you're going to be responsible, you know, for how your child's brought up, right? But also for you to break free in your own mindset, a lot of it's pre-built in you from your parents, even without them knowing, right?
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Rewiring The Brain for Success w/Margarita Pasos
And you have to do this personal development to get out of that because it's like a muscle, you know, you got to train it and it takes a lot of time to train the brain to out of the problem. So that leads me to the next thing I wanted to bring up as we end today. You have a new show coming out, right? That's all about this. Can you tell us a little about it?
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Rewiring The Brain for Success w/Margarita Pasos
No, no. The other show. It's fine. We'll cut. What's it called? The thinking.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Rewiring The Brain for Success w/Margarita Pasos
So just imagine. So you have a new show coming out that's all about the mindset, right?
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Rewiring The Brain for Success w/Margarita Pasos
I think it's so powerful because I recently realized like that was my big advantage because my whole life I've had that good mindset because of my parents being pro athletes. And I think because I was an only child, I did probably talk to myself. Yeah. And I say now I basically call myself delusional because now I'm so good at it.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Rewiring The Brain for Success w/Margarita Pasos
Like nothing can almost stop me, you know, even when sometimes I probably should like reflect a little and go, you know, like, oh, I need to lose some weight because in my head I'm so confident and believe in myself. I'm like, oh, I'm fine. You know, so it really is like it's, you know, people say that unbreakable mind. That's what I think about it when you get it so dialed in.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Rewiring The Brain for Success w/Margarita Pasos

Rewiring The Brain for Success w/Margarita Pasos
And I think just to wrap here, I'd say, you know, some people think you're cuckoo or I say I'm delusional. You've been the other side of it. I think you would agree it's much better to be cuckoo delusional than negative all the time, right? And like you're trapped in a prison.

insurance should be the same way the problem is same reason mechanics people like i don't trust them because i go in i also know these lies well also i mean like a mechanic or a roof it's like you know it's so complex you don't attempt it but i think insurance is a little more manageable or at least seems that way seems that way so then you do attempt it and then you kind of go down a rabbit hole or just get the wrong policy or get frustrated and and yeah so it's like it's almost more dangerous when it's like kind of manageable
