In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we sit down with Jennifer Whitted, also known as the Hormone Reset Coach, to explore how she transformed her personal perimenopause journey into a thriving online coaching business. After 20 years in pharmacy, Jennifer found herself frustrated with a healthcare system that offered more prescriptions instead of lifestyle solutions. Feeling unheard and “gaslit,” she committed to learning how nutrition, strength training, nervous system regulation, and hormone balance could create lasting change—not just for herself, but for other high-achieving women navigating midlife transitions.

Today, Jennifer runs a primarily one-on-one online coaching program, guiding women through a 90-day hormone reset designed to reduce inflammation, balance cortisol, heal the gut, and build sustainable strength—without starvation or burnout. She shares insights on scaling with a small but aligned team, leveraging social media as her primary marketing engine, pricing for commitment and results, and overcoming imposter syndrome while building authority in a booming functional health space. With plans to expand into community-building and in-person retreats, Jennifer’s mission is clear: create generational change for women who want their health to match their ambition.

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, Stefani Havel, Founder of Sales Strategy Network, shares her transition from a 25-year corporate career in finance, mortgage, and banking to building her own sales training and leadership consultancy. After her corporate role was unexpectedly eliminated, Stefani chose to leverage her experience leading high-performing teams—including moving one team from #129 to #19 in a Fortune 500 company—and channel it into helping small to mid-sized businesses master the psychology of sales. She breaks down her proprietary “CONVERT” sales framework, emphasizing connection, trust-building, behavioral awareness through DiSC, and replacing rigid scripts with authentic, values-driven conversations.

Stefani dives into how she supports entrepreneurs and sales teams who are confident in their craft but uncomfortable selling it. From customized coaching and roleplay training to launching her new 8-week online sales course, she’s focused on scalable impact while maintaining authenticity and structure. She also reflects on the challenges of entrepreneurship—from tech hurdles to marketing strategy—and shares her guiding advice: gain clarity, focus on what you do best, and stop chasing every shiny object. It’s a candid and insightful conversation on leadership, reinvention, and building confidence in sales without sacrificing integrity.

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, Dr. Alexander McWilliam, Founder and Managing Director of Improv for Business, shares how he transitioned from a trained actor into a specialist in communication, presentation skills, and public speaking anxiety. Drawing on his background in performance and his PhD research focused on public speaking anxiety and performing under pressure, Alex explains how he identified a clear gap in the corporate world—brilliant professionals who lack the confidence and communication tools to present effectively. What began as casual coaching between acting gigs evolved into a highly specialized consultancy blending performance psychology with improvisation to help leaders and teams communicate with clarity and impact.

Alex dives into how Improv for Business works with both executives and teams through tailored assessments, customized training programs, and practical improv-based techniques that unlock confidence and authenticity. He discusses the power of focusing on a clear niche rather than spreading too thin, the importance of visibility in a crowded market, and why scaling is ultimately a numbers game rooted in persistence and adaptability. The episode closes with powerful advice for founders: compare yourself only to who you were yesterday—not to anyone else’s highlight reel—and build from there.
