  Entrepreneurship 101 in its first season, features Andrew Parr talking about being a UK therapist, trainer and author with 33 years of clinical practice and over 20,000 one-to-one client sessions. 22.07.2026 25хв

  Andrew Parr is a UK therapist, trainer and author, practising since 1992, with over 20,000 one-to-one client sessions. 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.

  Entrepreneurship 101 in its first season, features Jake Shannon talking about Stop Owning a Job: How Founders Build a Company That Runs — and Sells — Without Them. 10.07.2026 28хв

  Jake Shannon 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.

  Entrepreneurship 101 in its first season, features Alan Cordano talking about pursuing entrepreneurship and trading full-time. Instead of following the traditional path. 08.07.2026 22хв

  Alan Cordano 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.

  Entrepreneurship 101 in its first season, features Dr. Paul Barattiero talking aboutabout being the the founder of LumaNova. 14.05.2026 29хв

  Paul Barattiero 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.

  Ruth Douthitt, Manager of RAD Writing, LLC 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.
