Bio

James started an entrepreneurial career with an e-commerce business out of his college apartment. After selling off the business upon graduation he spent some time in the stock market trading options. Realizing his true interest in the field of growing businesses, he shifted to starting to work with companies at their earliest stages. James, bringing his business and finance experience, saw an opportunity to partner on an equity basis with early-stage product & market-focused founders to launch and scale businesses.

As time grew and the business evolved, James has led various strategic initiatives, whether micro or macro with respect to the firm’s direction. Today, James’ focus lies with leading sales & business development strategies of the firm. As the company continues to evolve, James’ focus sits more and more with overall firm strategy and direction – leading the charge in the development of new revenue streams and market opportunities for continued growth.

If your audience is business owners, CEO’s, and other leaders, let’s bring them a fresh spin on what it takes to be a magnetic leader. As a Dominatrix, I learned the art and craft of owning a room and leading from a place of power – not the power over but power with.

clearly).

Bio

Kathleen spends most of her time with her two young kids and in a yoga studio. When she’s not doing those, she’s helping subject-matter experts uncover their groundbreaking ideas and turning them into lucrative revenue streams (often helping them find those kinds of revenue streams they hadn’t yet considered).

She believes that every entrepreneur is sitting on at least $100K per year of revenue they aren’t yet aware of (simply because they’re too close to their own business to see those gaps) and she helps them find them through a transformational group mastermind.

Topics

  • How to uncover your ideas
  • How to decide on which idea will have the biggest impact on you and the world around you
  • How to create a booming business online

Questions

  • What are some of the most common adjustments people need to make to their business to find $100K?
