About Jennifer JohnsonHi, I’m Jennifer Johnson, and I am a wife, mother of two, and a Registered Nurse in Ontario, Canada. I have spent the last sixteen years of my career in the emergency room of big and small hospitals all over Northern and Southern Ontario. I have personally been a part of all the heartbreak, drama, bullying, life to death moments, and then also trying to cope in the ER during an ongoing pandemic. My debut book- Nursing Intuition: How to Trust Your Gut, Save Your Sanity and Survive Your Career is finally here and it's my rally cry to all the other nurses struggling through this pandemic and finding that they are losing their love of nursing. They (as well as I) are burnt out and depressed and feeling hopeless. The love, caring, and camaraderie of nursing have changed for all of us, and the expectation that we continue to show up to a job that puts our lives on the line is new to us, and we are not doing well. I wanted to put this book out there to let nurses know they are not alone. Bringing back the love of nursing is possible. Now more than ever, we need to support and help raise each other.https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-johnson-bscn-rnhttps://www.rxforgrowth.com/---------------------------------------------------------About Dr. Shanea ClancyFrom witnessing insurmountable trauma to rewiring my brain through intentional transformation and approaches to life, my journey defies the traditional path of a surthriver.A forensic nurse turned mindset strategist who thrives on empowering audiences to shift from survival mode to their peak performance potential.Why?

About Marnie WillsFor years, I was the entrepreneur who outsourced anything remotely technical. As the founder of SportyMinis (an early years physical education business) and an health and fitness business called SportsFit, I built successful companies despite—not because of—technology. I was convinced that tech just wasn't my thing, and frankly, I was okay with that.Then February 2023 happened. On a recommendation, I reluctantly tried Jasper AI for some ad copy. What I expected was rubbish copy, super generic and cost an arm and a leg. Instead, it was completely different—cheap as chips and I actually loved going back and forth chatting with Jasper about what I wanted. It really was a moment of clarity. For the first time, I didn't need to be technical to leverage powerful technology. I was thriving with confidence and felt so productive.https://www.linkedin.com/in/marnie-wills-entrepreneur/https://businesswithaistrategist.com/---------------------------------About Miriam SchulmanMiriam Schulman | Artpreneur Coach | Creative Flow Catalyst | Spiritual TechnologistMiriam Schulman is a creative entrepreneur, best-selling author, and soulful business mentor whose work lives at the intersection of art, artificial intelligence, and authentic expression.

She went from struggling to scaling, eventually creating $100,000 months and teaching others to do the same.Today, as the founder of Ursula Inc., a five-time bestselling author, and a sought-after speaker, she has helped thousands of business owners double or triple their revenue while working less.

About Deborah CovielloI see you. I see you staring out the window wondering how you are going to meet this challenge. Take a deep breath, and consider the big picture. CLARITY AMIDST CHAOS HELPS US AVOID CRISIS. “Chasing Results.” Sounds stressful, right? It is! The State of Chaos within your organization often has a lot to do with misalignment of priorities: are you pursuing short term results or long term peace of mind? Kind words from a client: “Deb is the quintessential CEO Whisperer. More than a f/COO, Deb has been a rock which I can lean on and confide in.” LIFT, LIGHT, LEAD I wrote “The CEO’s Compass: Your Guide to Get Back on Track” to lift up CEO's by exploring their Hero’s Journey through the unknown, guiding them to their own Peace of Mind. The journey continues with my follow-up, “The NEW CEO Playbook: Stop Chasing Results and Start Pursuing Peace of Mind,” which addresses the mindset, behaviors and changes needed for any leader seeking satisfaction in their journey. This volume is both for the C-Suiter ensuring their legacy by establishing a “Lift, Light, Lead” environment- and for the rising leader pursuing their seat at the table.https://linkedin.com/in/deborahacoviello/https://dropinceo.com/----------------------------------About Ruth Van VierzenWhether your guests are start-ups or experienced business owners, I can deliver valuable content during an interview.

That’s Josh Fuhr’s story, a rollercoaster of ambition, reinvention, and a passion for empowering others through stock trading. Today, as the voice behind the Portfolio Consultant Substack newsletter, he’s turning his hard-won expertise into a lifeline for investors craving financial success without the Wall Street hustle.Josh's journey kicked off with a bang—he graduated with high honors from university, racking up academic awards that showcased his drive and intellect.

The accolades piled up—features in business publications, plus awards from the United Nations and the White House—until COVID hit, forcing the company to close.

Trapped in a business that only paid me when I was hustling nonstop. And worse, I didn’t own anything that created real wealth or freedom.Then I flipped my first house. That one deal changed everything. I realized that I could build wealth through real estate investing — not just sales. From there, I went all in. I started flipping homes, buying rentals, and creating income streams that worked even when I didn’t. And guess what? I didn’t have to stop being a REALTOR to do it.http://www.dustinhoog.com/----------------------------------When It Worked Podcasthttps://getoffthedamnphone.com/podcast
