His book The Real You is published by Penguin Life, and he has trained more than 500 practitioners in his own root-cause approach to lasting change.

He's come to see that real transformation is less about anything we typically call therapy, and more about de-hypnotising ourselves from the invisible conditioning we live by.

He's especially good on a question most people have felt but never had answered:

Why we stay stuck even after years of therapy and self-help, caught struggling with something that feels like it's inside us, yet outside our control, and what actually finally shifts it.

Stop Owning a Job: How Founders Build a Company That Runs — and Sells — Without Them

Our guest built his career on a brutal question every founder eventually has to face: if you stepped away for 30 days, would your business grow — or would it stall?

He's a two-time 10X Performance Coach of the Year and the founder of No1 Coaching, where he installs operating systems that turn founder-led chaos into companies that run, scale, and sell without the owner glued to the controls. As Chief Data & AI Officer for the 10X Performance Coaching Program, he's also at the front edge of using AI to engineer revenue — not as a gimmick, but as leverage built into the system.

Here's the twist: he learned all of it on the mat. He's the founder of Scientific Wrestling, the man who revived Catch-as-Catch-Can — the most ruthless grappling style in history — and he coaches alongside UFC legends Pat Miletich and Frank Shamrock. He takes the same principles that win on the mat — leverage, position, pressure, control — and installs them in the boardroom.

Alan Cordano has a story that immediately captures attention: he walked away from the opportunity to play Division I football at the University of Hawaiʻi Athletics to pursue entrepreneurship and trading full-time. Instead of following the traditional path, he bet on himself, built his own business, and recently generated over $100,000 in a single month through trading and entrepreneurship. His journey is a powerful example of conviction, risk-taking, and choosing an unconventional route to success. Alan speaks candidly about the mindset required to leave a dream that most people spend their entire lives chasing, how he handles pressure and uncertainty, and the daily disciplines that separate successful traders from gamblers. He shares practical lessons on risk management, emotional control, confidence, and building systems that create consistency rather than relying on luck. His message resonates with entrepreneurs, athletes, investors, and anyone looking to create extraordinary results by thinking differently.

Podcast Hook:
"What would it take to walk away from Division I football and bet everything on yourself? Alan Cordano did exactly that—and turned it into a six-figure-per-month business. His story is about courage, discipline, and building success on your own terms.

Exited startup founder now running one of the hottest AI Recruiting startups: Co-Found & CEO @ Pin.com - AI Recruiting & Sourcing

Steven Lu has spent nearly a decade inside recruiting technology, on both the build side and the sell side. He's watched the same pattern repeat at every company he's touched: great recruiters get buried in low-value work, and the tools they pay for keep them there. He's now on his second act trying to fix it. He shows up to podcasts with specific patterns, hard numbers, and operator stories from inside the hiring funnel, not theory and not the usual AI hype cycle commentary.

Background:

• CEO and Co-Founder of Pin (pin.com), the highest-rated AI recruiting platform on G2 (4.8/5)
• Previously Co-Founder and CEO of Interseller, the sourcing and outreach platform acquired by Greenhouse
• Spent his post-exit years inside Greenhouse, watching how recruiting software actually gets adopted (and abandoned) at scale before leaving to start Pin
• Raised a $3M seed led by Expa Ventures in December 2024
• Advisory bench includes Benjamin Mena (Elite Recruiter Podcast, 170K+ downloads), Brianna Rooney (Techees, acquired by Affirm), Rich Rosen (Forbes Top-50 Recruiters, 1,200+ placements), and Evan White (Purple Acorn Network)
• Press: VentureBeat, Pulse2, and most of the major recruiting trade publications

The numbers he can speak to (Pin's real customer data, not a deck):

• 850M+ candidate profiles across professional networks, GitHub, Stack Overflow, patents, and academic publications
• 14 days average time-to-fill
• 12 hours a week saved per recruiter on sourcing and outreach combined
• 5x better outreach response rates vs. industry averages
• 83% candidate acceptance rate into customers' hiring pipelines
• 90% reduction in manual sourcing time
• 91% of users reduce or eliminate LinkedIn Recruiter spend after switching
• 6x more diverse candidate pipelines

Topics Steven can go deep on:

Recruiting and talent acquisition

• The post-LinkedIn-Recruiter stack: what TA teams are buying instead, and why 91% of Pin users walked away
• Outbound vs inbound hiring, and why sourced candidates are 5x more likely to be hired than applicants
• Why multi-source candidate data (GitHub, Stack Overflow, patents, publications) beats single-network sourcing for technical and niche roles
• The agency vs in-house TA economics shift happening right now
• What "good" looks like for time-to-fill, response rates, and recruiter capacity in 2026
• The future of the recruiter role: strategist vs operator, and which parts of the job AI is actually changing

Dr. Paul Barattiero, Founder of Echo

Dr. Paul Barattiero is the founder of LumaNova and a leading advocate for performance-based red light therapy systems designed to support cellular health, recovery, and long-term vitality. With more than two decades of experience in the health and wellness industry, he focuses on advancing non-invasive technologies that enhance mitochondrial function, improve energy production, and optimize the body’s natural recovery processes.

Through LumaNova, Dr. Paul develops photobiomodulation devices engineered to deliver clinically relevant wavelengths and power densities aligned with published research. His work centers on helping individuals, athletes, and wellness providers integrate red and near-infrared light therapy into practical, measurable health routines. By bridging consumer accessibility with professional-grade standards, he positions red light therapy as both a performance tool and a foundational wellness modality.

Scientific literature on photobiomodulation underscores that therapeutic benefit is dose-dependent. The biological response to red and near-infrared light is influenced by wavelength specificity, irradiance, exposure time, and cumulative energy delivery. Peer-reviewed studies suggest that when light is delivered within established parameters, it may support:

• Enhanced mitochondrial ATP production and cellular energy output
• Reduction in oxidative stress and inflammatory markers
• Improved muscle recovery and tissue repair
• Increased circulation and collagen support for skin health
• Circadian rhythm alignment and sleep quality
• Cognitive clarity and mood regulation

Research consistently emphasizes that precision matters. Effective photobiomodulation requires consistent wavelength accuracy and controlled irradiance levels to align with validated photobiological standards. This research-driven approach informs the development philosophy behind LumaNova systems and distinguishes clinically aligned devices from commodity wellness lighting products.

Through story and art, Ruth Douthitt explores faith, courage, and creativity—inviting readers and viewers to see the extraordinary beauty hidden in ordinary moments.

As a best-selling self-published author across multiple genres, I’ve spent years learning the ins and outs of the publishing world. Through my award-nominated podcast, "A Writer’s Day," I’ve interviewed hundreds of authors and discovered the incredible power of community—how sharing our creative journeys can inspire, connect, and motivate us all. I'd love to share about my books and my writing journey with your audience.

As an educator, I love to inspire others to never quit learning. I returned to school to obtain my masters in Mental Health and Wellness.

Beyond writing, I’m also a mental health and wellness advocate and a trained grief support group facilitator with GriefShare. I’ve seen firsthand how storytelling and the arts can bring healing, helping people navigate loss and rediscover hope. Empowering others to find light through creativity and faith is truly my passion.

When I’m not writing or podcasting, you’ll often find me running desert trails or hiking mountain paths—activities that help me nurture both mental clarity and spiritual renewal. I've completed many marathons, half marathons, and ultramarathons to challenge myself. These races have taken me to lovely Rome, to Lake Powell, and to the forests of Yosemite National Park.

3rd Degree BJJ Black Belt & AI Marketing Founder Helping Businesses Turn Ads into Growth & Profit

Most businesses know they need more leads or more sales, but very few understand why their current marketing isn’t working — or where they’re wasting money.

That’s where I come in.

I’m a business owner, 3rd degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and co-founder of Dream Agility, where I help companies across lead generation and eCommerce turn inconsistent, expensive marketing into predictable growth.

2 appearances on USDC by Rokas Leo YouTube (630k subscribers)
Business of Jiu Jitsu
Wrong Side of 35
CareerJitsu
Other business and martial arts-focused shows

What makes this valuable for podcast audiences is that I don’t speak in theory — I work directly with businesses dealing with real challenges:

Rising ad costs
Poor lead quality
Low conversion rates
Unclear ROI

On podcasts, I break down what’s actually happening in modern marketing from why many businesses overspend on ads, to how AI and data can be used to improve performance without simply increasing budget.

Founder & CEO of First Light Studios ($100mm+ in managed revenue)

I’m Joshua Lee, founder of First Light Studios — and I help legacy brand owners bring their products into the modern digital marketplace without losing the heart of what made them successful in the first place.

I specialize in partnering with founders who’ve built trusted, values-driven businesses — often over decades — but haven’t yet figured out how to translate that success to platforms like Amazon, Walmart, or social commerce. My agency doesn’t just “do eCommerce.” We become strategic growth partners for brand owners who want to protect their legacy, expand their reach, and continue serving their customers in a changing world.

What makes me different is I don’t just understand eCommerce — I understand founders. I’ve worked with VC-backed startups and household names sold in Walgreens and REI, but I choose to work with companies that care about good stewardship, sustainable products, and people-first leadership.

Your audience will walk away with a clear understanding of how to:

Future-proof their brand in the face of digital disruption

Unlock new growth channels without compromising their values

Avoid common traps when entering Amazon or Walmart for the first time

Think differently about legacy, succession, and scaling with integrity

If your show is about entrepreneurship, brand building, purpose-driven leadership, or navigating change — I’ll bring a mix of strategic insight, real-world experience, and a deep respect for the people behind the products.

I’m all about creating real value for your listeners — whether they’re scaling their businesses or leveling up personally. My mission? To get them thinking differently, moving forward faster, and laughing a little along the way. If your audience walks away with even one action they can take immediately, I’ll consider it a win. (Bonus: I’m an engaging speaker who knows how to mix strategy with a little wit — because growth doesn’t have to be boring.) I’m an international business coach, corporate trainer, and speaker, and I host the Unconventional Wisdom About Conventional Wisdom podcast — where clichés come to retire and fresh thinking we inspire. I work with business executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders on the not-so-sexy but absolutely critical skills: leadership, management, interpersonal communication, and time management. But here’s the heartbeat of my work — helping people lead and succeed by being more of themselves, not less. Authenticity isn’t just a buzzword in my world; it’s the backbone of real, sustainable success. If you’re looking for a guest who will bring sharp insights, practical strategies, and an energizing conversation to your show, I’d love to collaborate.

4X Founder / Serial Entrepreneur & Author / $75M Raised - Founder/CEO Sentium Labs - World's First Voice Companion For Business

Four Exits, $75M Previously Raised -The Founder Building the World’s First Synthetic Voice First Co-Founder

Sam Singh is a serial entrepreneur and deep-tech founder who has raised over $75 million from top Silicon Valley investors and has been featured on CNN, CNBC, and leading global media.

He is the founder of Sentium Labs, based in San Francisco, and is the creator of MAXX — a voice-first AI business companion often described as the world’s first synthetic co-founder.

After multiple exits across marketing services, hospitality, and prop-tech, Sam is now working at the edge of AI development — not just building tools, but rethinking what intelligence itself means.

He is the originator of the concept of Composite Intelligence — a new paradigm that blends machine intelligence, enterprise data, and human “tribal knowledge” into a persistent, living system that can reason, remember, and execute in real time through voice.

Educated at UC Berkeley, Sam is also the author of a book on AI and the future of work, and his current mission is radical: to replace the need for software interfaces, dashboards, and even human co-founders with a voice-driven synthetic business partner that thinks, plans, and acts alongside you.

His work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, human behavior, and the future of entrepreneurship — and offers a rare, practical look at what happens when AI stops being a tool and starts becoming a collaborator.

Pete Polyakov is the founder of ModsNation - the world's largest 3D automotive tuning platform - and Arvion Bauhaus, a custom Porsche 911 Design House.

Pete holds a PhD in philosophy, was born in Moscow, raised in South Asia, and now builds from Florida. His background spans architecture, film, and software - which is exactly why his platform looks different from everything else in the industry.

I’ve been in the credit and funding industry for over 15 years. I started right after college when I didn’t get into law school and took a different path into the credit repair world. That early experience gave me a front-row seat to how the industry really works — the good, the bad, and the parts most people never see.

Over the years, I learned directly from top operators in the space, worked alongside high-level performers, and saw firsthand how many people are given surface-level advice that doesn’t actually prepare them for real approvals. Eventually, I transitioned deeper into funding, where I saw the biggest gap: people were being sent to institutions before they were ready.

In 2020, during the early days of COVID, I experienced my first major breakthrough month in funding — and that’s when it fully clicked. The real opportunity wasn’t just helping people apply for funding. It was preparing them to meet institutional standards before they ever walked into a bank or lender conversation.

CEO at Tectonic (formerly eResources) | Strategic Partner to Mission-Driven Orgs | Dad, Builder, Bourbon & Cigar Guy

Dusty Gulleson didn’t start with a grand vision.

After leaving a misaligned COO role, Dusty Gulleson rebuilt from the ground up, waiting tables and taking freelance web projects until one client turned into many. Over 25 years, that hustle grew into Tectonic (formerly eResources), a 100+ person digital services and technology firm built without outside capital.

As CEO, Dusty has guided the company’s growth and transformation, unifying its divisions into a cohesive digital powerhouse while helping leaders cut through digital noise to drive measurable results.

He has led five successful acquisitions, built recurring revenue across sectors including housing, higher education, and public health, and created distributed teams that operate on trust, autonomy, and shared purpose.

Dusty has guided Tectonic through major growth by unifying multiple divisions into a single, cohesive digital powerhouse. Along the way, he’s learned that tools are just tools. What matters is clarity, trust, and a step‑by‑step plan that avoids overwhelm.

Cashflow Expert and ANTI-Financial Advisor

Chris Miles is the Cash Flow Expert and Anti-Financial Advisor who helps high-income earners achieve financial freedom—without relying on Wall Street.

After years as a traditional financial advisor, Chris saw the truth: no one was actually retiring early with 401(k)s and mutual funds. So he did the unthinkable—left the industry, turned to passive income strategies, and retired at 28. Then he did it again at 39, proving it wasn’t a one-time fluke.

As founder of Money Ripples and host of the Money Ripples Podcast, Chris has helped clients unlock over $300 million in hidden cash flow and create predictable streams of passive income. He’s been featured in CNN Money, BiggerPockets, and Entrepreneurs on Fire, and is on a mission to help others stop working for money—and start making money work for them.
In case you were wondering, Chris is also a marathon runner, former competitive ballroom dancer, and proudly took 5th place in his 3rd grade spelling bee. Now you know more than you needed to.

Michael T. Brown emphasizes that hiring is not a transactional decision—it is a strategic investment. The wrong hire does more than reduce productivity; it disrupts culture, drains leadership energy, and creates long-term financial leakage. Slow growth is recoverable. Cultural misalignment is costly.

Even talented individuals fail when expectations are ambiguous. Brown highlights the necessity of defining measurable outcomes, decision authority, and accountability structures before extending an offer. Alignment reduces friction and accelerates execution.

The episode also addresses founder psychology. Many entrepreneurs hire reactively—either too quickly out of urgency or too late out of control tendencies. Brown argues for disciplined workforce planning grounded in projected revenue, workload analysis, and cultural readiness.

From onboarding systems to performance reviews, this feature of Entrepreneurship 101 reinforces that hiring is leadership in action. Every addition to a team reshapes organizational identity. Strong companies are not built by chance—they are built by intentional selection.

From C-suite burnout to thriving teams – I help leaders build cultures that put people first.

’m Oksana Lukash, and my story is rooted in transformation — personal, organizational, and cultural. I immigrated from Moscow to the U.S. at 13, learning early how to navigate major transitions and find strength in uncertainty. That experience shaped my ability to lead through change, connect across cultures, and build belonging from the ground up.

Over the last 20 years, I’ve served as a Chief People Officer, advisor, and coach, building people strategies in high-growth startups, Fortune 500s, and mission-driven organizations. I’ve led companies through hypergrowth, turnarounds, layoffs, leadership crises, and cultural rewrites. My work sits at the intersection of human behavior, business outcomes, and personal growth.

But what sets me apart isn’t just my experience. It’s my lens. I don’t believe culture is a buzzword or that burnout is a badge of honor. I believe people strategy is business strategy. That confidence and clarity can be taught. And that the way you treat people is the ultimate competitive advantage.

I help others lean into their “No Matter What Values” and to turn complex leadership challenges into simple, actionable insight. Whether I’m coaching executives, facilitating offsites, or speaking on stage, my goal is the same: help people lead with more heart, less noise, and a whole lot more intention.

If your listeners are navigating change, struggling with confidence, leading teams, or trying to build a meaningful career or culture, I will bring them truth, tools, and tangible steps they can act on right away. And I do it with realness, warmth, and a deep respect for the stories we all carry.

I help [ex]corporate overachievers turn their dreams into paying clients in their solobusiness. No blood, sweat, or tears required. Maybe some tears

I help talented, heart-driven, qualified coaches go from “I’m posting and praying” to consistent $10K+ months—without resorting to sleazy tactics or cookie-cutter advice.

If you’re still stuck juggling a full-time job and a part-time coaching hustle that barely covers your software stack, I’m the coach who will lovingly—but firmly—call you out on what’s keeping you stuck.

And spoiler: it’s probably not your skills. It’s your strategy.

WHAT I BELIEVE:
・ Sales is service—if you truly believe in your work, you owe it to people to make the offer
・ Content without a conversion path is just unpaid performance
・ You don’t need another certification—you need paying clients
・ You’re not “bad at marketing.” You’ve just never been shown how to do it in a way that feels good
・ Specificity attracts. Generality repels. (Yes, you need a niche. Yes, even if you “help everyone.”)
・ You don’t need a bigger audience. You need a better offer.
・ Showing up consistently beats switching strategies every two weeks because “Instagram hates me”

WHAT I TALK ABOUT ON PODCASTS:
I’m known for cutting through the fluff and talking about the real reasons most coaches struggle financially—and what to do about it. If you host a podcast for coaches, solopreneurs, service-based business owners, or anyone in the online space who’s sick of the “just post more” hamster wheel, I’m your person.

Cash Flow Mike

I’m Cash Flow Mike, and I help business owners and their advisors find hidden cash in their companies—without spreadsheets full of confusion or lectures they’ll forget by tomorrow.

For the past 20+ years, I’ve been in the trenches—starting, building, advising, and saving businesses. I’ve built or helped build 14 companies from the ground up. Along the way, I realized that most small business owners are flying blind when it comes to their finances—not because they’re bad at business, but because no one ever showed them how to read the story their numbers are trying to tell.

That’s where I come in.

I created the Clear Path to Cash framework—a practical system that shows people how to improve their cash flow, increase profitability, and build a more valuable business using real data, real fast. I’ve taught it to over 25,000 business owners, CPAs, bookkeepers, and bankers—and helped them uncover more than $150 million in hidden cash.

But I’m not just about the numbers. I’m about helping people make better decisions—and have better conversations.

That’s why I wrote three books:

Certified Human Design Coach and Business Mentor, helping entrepreneurs create sustainable aligned success by infusing their Design Into every area of their business.

After 13 years in entrepreneurship and plenty of failures, pivots, and burnout along the way.. I realized the problem wasn’t me. The problem was that I was trying to build success using strategies that were never designed for me.

I built a 6 figure business on the tactics and strategies that all the gurus teach and ended up resenting my business. I lost my dad at the same time that business collapsed and grief broke me wide open to realizing how far I was from my true self.

When I discovered Human Design, everything clicked. I finally understood why the formulas didn’t work, how I was wired to make decisions, and what it looked like to build a business that actually fit.

Today, as a Certified Human Design coach and Business Mentor, I help entrepreneurs ditch one-size-fits-all strategies and unlock clarity, confidence, and sustainable success by working with their design instead of against it.

Podcast audiences connect with my story, because it’s real and relatable....I know the frustration of doing ‘all the right things’ and still feeling stuck. I know what its like to feel so misaligned you feel something is wrong with you. And I bring a practical, inspiring perspective that helps listeners see not just what Human Design is, but how to actually use it to create results in life and business.

I help overwhelmed solo business owners spot what’s actually blocking progress

I’ve spent years as a solo business owner doing what a lot of people do — working long hours, staying busy, being responsible — and quietly wondering why things still weren’t improving the way I expected. From the outside, it looked like dedication. On the inside, it felt heavier than it should.

Over time, I realized I wasn’t alone. Many small business owners end up in a place where things aren’t falling apart, but they aren’t really moving forward either. It’s stressful, familiar, and easy to normalize. I started calling it the “Uncomfortable Comfort Zone” because it explains why people stay stuck without being lazy, broken, or unmotivated.

When I’m on a podcast, the conversation isn’t about me or my businesses, fixing everything, or offering formulas. It’s about naming what’s actually happening, why it makes sense, and how small, realistic shifts can help people feel a little clearer and less alone — which is often where real progress starts.

Operator, Entrepreneur, and Builder Who’s Learned Most Lessons the Hard Way

Hey, I'm Jerry Brazie. Over the last 30-plus years, I've started, bought, and sold more than a dozen companies across all kinds of industries, and we've done north of $450 million in revenue along the way.

I grew up dirt poor—one of nine kids—with plenty of violence thrown in. Shot at, stabbed, beaten half to death more than once. No degree, no safety net, no roadmap. Just chaos and a stubborn streak that wouldn't let me stay down. Everything I know about business and life came from grinding, screwing up big, and figuring out how to keep moving.

Right now, I'm running an eight-figure and a seven-figure company and just getting my newest business, The Kronos Group, off the ground: a small, hand-picked peer group for real operators who want honest talk and accountability, no fluff.

I love the game of business. It's always been the vehicle, not the destination. I've never made a dime doing something I actually love for work. I've made money building and running companies, then taken those profits to do what really matters: changing the lives of my wife of 28 years and our kids.

I don't take myself too seriously, and my biggest strength is remembering exactly where I came from. It keeps me grounded and lets me talk straight without the ego.

If your listeners are entrepreneurs or executives looking for no-BS business talk from the trenches, or just people who need a real story to push past whatever's holding them back in business or life, they'll get something useful out of this. I promise, no polished speeches, just hard-earned lessons.

I help self employed people build structure and systems that lead to consistent sustainable success.

I didn’t start my business because I dreamed of being an entrepreneur. I started it at 18 as a way to get through school. At the time, self employment felt temporary. Like something practical, not purposeful. And honestly? There was a season where I didn’t even like being self employed. The freedom everyone talks about didn’t feel free. It felt messy, inconsistent, and heavier than it should have been. That disconnect forced a turning point. I realized the issue wasn’t business it was the lack of systems. I wasn’t overwhelmed because I was incapable. I was overwhelmed because everything depended on me. So I started simplifying. I built clear frameworks for sales, follow-up, leadership, and time management. Not to grow faster, but to survive better. What happened next surprised me. Growth accelerated. Confidence increased. And for the first time, being self-employed actually felt sustainable. Those systems went on to help me lead the fastest growing team in my organization, set multiple growth records, earn national recognition. All of that was humbling, but it was a by product. It was a by product of creating a life I loved, and empowering those around me to have success. Today, I help business owners and sales leaders do the same. Especially those who feel trapped by the very business they built. I teach simple, repeatable systems that allow people to grow without burnout, lead teams aligned with their values, and build success they’re proud of. Podcast audiences connect with this story because it’s not about chasing entrepreneurship it’s about making it livable. It’s for people who didn’t necessarily set out to build a business, but now want to build one that actually supports their life. If your listeners want growth without chaos and leadership without losing themselves this is a conversation worth having.

Serial Integrator & Mastermind Leader Helping Entrepreneurs Build Resilient Businesses, Unbreakable Teams & Generational Impact

If you are a Host looking to serve business owners, leaders, or entrepreneurs who are overwhelmed trying to grow while juggling life then I am your guy... I’m here to bring clarity.

My name is Jake Isaacs; Serial Integrator, Mastermind Leader, and Co-Founder of Gathering The Kings. GTK helps high-performing entrepreneurs win not just in business, but in marriage, family, health, faith, and lifestyle. I’ve spent over 20 years leading operations across multiple industries and have learned what most business owners eventually discover: more success doesn’t automatically mean more freedom — unless you build it intentionally.

Your audience will gain practical, real-world frameworks they can immediately apply — whether it’s building operational systems that free up their time, developing unbreakable teams that lead without them, or learning how to lead with empathy while still executing at a high level. I share stories, strategies, and mindset shifts that help entrepreneurs simplify growth, create margin, and avoid sacrificing their marriage, health, or family on the altar of business.

We will also explore the unique role community plays in sustaining long-term growth. I’ve seen firsthand how the right relationships, personally and professionally, give business owners the strength to weather life’s storms.

Additional, I help families raise up the next generation of entrepreneurs through Generation Next, providing young people with the business and leadership training they aren't getting in school — something that resonates deeply with parents and business owners alike.

If you’re looking for an interview that blends business growth, leadership, family, faith, and real operational expertise — I’d be honored to serve your audience.

NASHVILLE'S ONLY VETERAN OWNED & OPERATED TOUR OPERATOR

I’m a combat veteran, Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, former UK Parliamentary Fellow, and the founder of Nashville Adventures, a walking tour company I built from a $3,600 passion project into a $500K award-winning business in under two years, without outside capital, insider connections, or tourism industry backing.

My journey into entrepreneurship started in Afghanistan. After an injury on deployment, the recovery process left me with nothing but time and a lot of survivor’s guilt. To rebuild a sense of purpose, I began volunteering at the Patton Museum at Fort Knox, giving historical tours. I didn’t realize it then, but that experience would change the entire trajectory of my life. It taught me that storytelling can heal, connect, and rebuild identity. Years later, when I moved to Nashville, I turned that realization into a business.

Nashville Adventures is now one of the fastest-growing independent tour companies in the city, known for immersive history experiences instead of gimmicks. We’ve served more than 15,000 guests, earned multiple tourism awards, and donate 1% of all revenue to veteran-related causes and local scholarship programs.

My story resonates with listeners because it intersects resilience, service, entrepreneurship, and purpose-driven business. I’m comfortable going deep about trauma, rebuilding identity, meaningful work, leadership lessons from the battlefield and the Peace Corps, scaling a bootstrapped company, or navigating Nashville’s evolving tourism landscape.

Podcast audiences get real, unfiltered insights on:
How to build something meaningful from nothing
Positive, community-driven entrepreneurship
The mental side of transition after military service
What immersive storytelling teaches us about leadership
How to grow a business without investors, connections, or shortcuts
Why service-based businesses can outperform louder, better-funded competitors
Why Nashville needs storytellers and not just entertainment

At the heart of it, my story is about building a second life after the military, finding a mission bigger than myself, and proving that purposeful businesses can thrive while giving back.

If your audience loves conversations about overcoming adversity, building authentic brands, leadership, history, impact, or meaningful entrepreneurship, I’m a strong fit and look forward to creating a powerful, engaging episode with you.

Unlock sales with strategic compliance via frameworks and certifications.

Shayne Adler is the CEO of Aetos Data Consulting, where “strategic compliance” turns privacy, security, and AI governance into a sales advantage. She translates frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and the NIST AI RMF/ISO 42001 into simple playbooks that help teams ship faster, reduce risk, and win enterprise trust. Expect plain English, zero doom, and practical steps people can act on today.

Shayne brings an operator’s lens: what evidence buyers actually ask for, how to stand up lightweight but defensible controls, and where teams waste time on low-ROI tasks. Her take is forward-looking without the hype, and grounded in what moves pipeline.

Ideal for founder, product, security, and GTM audiences who want clear next steps, not alphabet soup. Topics include “compliance that closes deals,” trust centers that sell, AI governance without the drag, and how to align engineering, legal, and sales around proof.
