In this episode of Founders Future, with host Natalie Borovska, we’re joined by Imani Powell, holistic wellness strategist and founder of New Life Health & Wellness, to explore how corporate wellness needs a serious rethink. Imani shares how her journey began in medicine, following in her father’s footsteps, before discovering major gaps between traditional healthcare, fitness, nutrition, and preventative wellness. What started as a side venture during medical school quickly evolved into a mission-driven company focused on integrating physical, mental, and holistic health into organizational culture.

Imani dives into her transition from B2C coaching to serving B2B and B2G clients, working with corporations, nonprofits, and school districts to build sustainable in-house wellness systems. Rather than acting as a middleman provider, her firm empowers organizations to create their own long-term wellness frameworks — cutting costs, increasing utilization, and driving cultural change from within. She also shares insights on modern lead generation, AI-powered outreach, pricing strategy, and her 2026 vision: educating leaders so thoroughly that they won’t need third-party wellness providers ever again.

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we’re joined by Justine Beauregard, Sales Process and Conversion Expert, to explore how entrepreneurs can close more sales without pressure, scripts, or outdated tactics. Justine shares how her entrepreneurial journey began in childhood, inspired by strong female role models, and evolved through startup life into building a high-impact coaching and strategy business. Her mission? To completely rewrite the sales playbook for modern entrepreneurs.

Justine breaks down her philosophy that fast sales aren’t forced — they’re aligned. She explains how positioning, messaging, and ethical sales systems allow experts to stand out, close confidently, and build sustainable growth without feeling pushy or performative. From her innovative Virtual Speed Networking events to her “do less better” mantra, Justine reveals how simplifying your focus can actually increase revenue, impact, and freedom. If you’re ready to rethink sales and scale in flow — this episode is for you.

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.

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we sit down with Desmond Jack, founder of 2M Performance 808, a Hawaii-based fitness and performance coaching company rooted in discipline, systems, and sustainable execution. A former U.S. Army infantry officer with more than 20 years of leadership experience, Desmond shares how his military background shaped his approach to coaching—focusing less on motivation and more on structured systems that remove decision fatigue and build consistent habits. His philosophy centers on closing the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it, especially when life gets busy or chaotic.

Desmond opens up about the transition from military authority to entrepreneurship, where influence must replace rank and every client requires a tailored approach. He discusses building both online and in-person coaching models, relying primarily on referrals for growth, and navigating the challenges of scaling as a solopreneur in a saturated fitness market. With a long-term vision of creating a collaborative, “barbershop-style” space where independent trainers can grow together while serving their own clients, Desmond is building more than a coaching brand—he’s creating a performance-driven community designed for long-term impact.

n this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, Kate Evans, founder of Soulful Space Coaching and author of Ditch Your Sht: Decluttering Your Mindset to Declutter Your Home*, shares how her background in psychology and private practice counseling evolved into a holistic coaching business for ambitious women. With decades of experience in women’s empowerment, Kate discovered a powerful connection between emotional well-being and physical clutter after decluttering her own home. That realization led her to blend therapy-informed coaching, mindset work, and home organization into an integrative approach that helps women create sustainable change from the inside out.

Kate opens up about transitioning from a well-known in-person therapist in the Chicago suburbs to building a fully virtual brand through social media, lead magnets, and free discovery sessions. She reflects on choosing to remain a one-woman business by design, prioritizing sustainability over scale, while expanding her impact through writing and thought leadership. With plans to submit her second book proposal and grow her YouTube presence with self-care and mindset content, Kate is focused on evolving her coaching into a more holistic, integrative model—while navigating the very real challenge of self-accountability that many founders face.

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, Jaime Diglio, Founder and CEO of The WIN Room, shares how a personal health scare during her time as a sales leader at Gartner became the catalyst for building a performance coaching company rooted in mindset mastery. After experiencing a severe stress response that left her temporarily unable to feel her legs, Jaime realized that traditional leadership and sales training overlooked a critical piece: how individuals manage pressure internally. Drawing from her background in organizational psychology and enterprise leadership—including managing a $450M Microsoft business—she developed The WIN Room methodology to help professionals shift from what she calls the “War Room” mindset (self-doubt, comparison, reactive thinking) into the “WIN Room,” where clarity, intention, and performance align.

Jaime works across both organizations and individuals, coaching leaders in transition, high-potential talent, and ambitious professionals who want to sharpen executive presence, communication, and confidence. Through group programs, individual coaching, and her growing community membership, The WIN League, she focuses on long-term behavioral change rather than quick-fix tactics. In a world obsessed with scripts and scalability, Jaime challenges companies to prioritize authenticity over uniformity—helping people build their own “winning formula” so they can perform under pressure without losing themselves in the process.
