Nico Brenner is a Chilean tech entrepreneur based in San Francisco. He is a big fan of positive reinforcement and building the habit of happiness. Nico also oversees Product development at Praiseworthy, a company dedicated to helping businesses improve through individual feedback from customers. For the past 14 years, Nico has participated in more than a dozen tech startups either as a founder, early hire, angel investor, advisor or speaker. In 2013, Nico and Misa Chien, former CEO of the NomNom food truck, realized they had the same problem. As a consumer, Nico felt there was no direct and easy way to tell companies about his experience with them. As a business owner, Misa felt the little feedback she was getting from her customers wasn’t specific or individualized enough to be useful. With this pain in mind, they set out to build the easiest way possible for customers to give feedback directly to the people that they interacted with at a store, as well as the easiest way possible for business owners and employees to receive this feedback and act on it. They called it Praiseworthy. Since launch, Praiseworthy has been a hit with business owners and their customers, quickly growing from being used at only 7 stores in 2014, to saving millions of customers at thousands of stores across 47 US states in 2016.

2014--  I was running a nonprofit organization called Nurture (I still run it);  we teach nutrition and wellness to kids in schools and families (especially low income).  I had made this move from "profit to purpose" (I used to be a high paid management consultant for Fortune 100/500 companies before my kids were born)

2015-  I wrote a book called "mountain mantras" to start to build a larger platform to reach/help more people.  I launched a career in professional speaking (inspiration and wellness)

2016- a VERY busy year with over 100 radio/podcast interviews, 7 major TV appearances, and a major print/online media tour for a new book (for children) called Give It a Go, Eat a Rainbow.  All about the importance of eating fresh fruits and veggies.

Also--  I JUST launched my own podcast last week.  It is called "Mountain Mantras: Wellness and Life Lessons from the Slopes".   Very exciting to spread more help and inspiration

2017-working on sequels to books, still running the nonprofit, acting as a mentor to our local business incubator (Ketchum Innovation Center); working on the Board of our local radio station.  And a busy mom and wife. : )

Hope that is what you're looking for. Thanks for your inspiration! Kathryn.

Elle Stahlhut Roetzel  is a certified coach, speaker, and mentor. She is passionate to see others set free by the healing love of Jesus Christ and living victoriously with the vision of who God has called them to be. 

To fulfill this passion, Elle has mentored women and led Bible Studies for the past 20 years. Her passion to help women live the overflowing life Christ died to give them led her to write a book this past year. Her book entitled Bridal Redemption will be released November 30th. She not only desires to reach people through her writing but is also connecting with women through her online studies, speaking, and coaching practice. She believes that we all have struggles, they may look different, but they have the power to keep us from living out our purpose. Elle shares her own struggles and painful circumstances and reveals the keys that she used to be healed from her past and live victoriously through the storms.

During the last three years she has lived with continual change as she adjusted to life as a single mom after the death of her spouse, and moving her children to another state. The trials and adjustments that went along with moving her children and getting remarried has had its moments that stretched and challenged her faith. It doesn't take long to realize after talking with Elle, that her faith is rock solid and she never lost hope or was without expectation that everything was going to be okay. It is from this position that she wrote her book and has built her speaking and coaching business.

Dan Simon is an intuitive consultant and coach. On the last day of 2010, he jumped off a bridge in New Zealand attached to a rubber band. That single moment of decision/terror caused him to begin addressing what he really wanted from life rather than living from outdated beliefs. Today, women hire him to reframe their life stories, because they are prisoners of the past, shackled by early trauma; so he helps them to break free to update their old beliefs and old decisions. So they can design a new dream and begin to live in their authentic power. So many are stuck in certain areas of their life— be it relationships, career, finance, lifestyle. Dan provides the energetic lifeline to pull you out of the muck and get you moving again. His gift is to listen intuitively and to reflect back a true picture of who you really are, rather than who you were convinced that you needed to be. He works both one on one and offers group coaching programs. His new live event is called, “IT’A ATYPO, NOT A TRAGEDY: REFRAME YOUR STORY FOR POWER, PASSION AND JOY”. Get his free video course on “Reframing your Story” at www.DanSimon.co or contact him at [email protected]
