Business as UNusual

Business as UNusual, is a series produced by BiCurean Consulting. We present Entrepreneurs, Innovators, CEOs, & Founders who are innovating the way we do business. This episode we are chatting with Dror Yaron the Ethics Coach.

Dror is an ethics coach who helps people navigate the shortcomings of the current system. They understand the struggle of starting a business and the importance of aligning it with one's values. Recognizing the need for collaboration, Dror reached out to other coaching practices from the beginning and believes that there is more to gain from working together rather than competing. They value the power of multiple perspectives and believe it provides more options for their audience. Dror's journey started in high school, where they were inspired by teachers who emphasized appreciating every moment and questioning power. After a squiggly career path that included journalism and photography, they found themselves teaching art and robotics, working with teachers to align their goals and values with the tools they used. Now, Dror also works with startup founders, helping them navigate ethical challenges and make better decisions.

Business As Unusual, is a series produced by BiCurean Consulting. We present Entrepreneurs, Innovators, CEOs, & Founders who are innovating the way we do business. This episode we are chatting with Peggy a Headshot Strategist and Founder of the TimeBenders Community.

Peggy is a professional photographer with over 30 years of experience. During the pandemic, she was unable to pursue her passion due to restrictions. However, she discovered a new avenue for her skills by offering consultations on Clubhouse and Zoom. She started talking about branding and realized the importance of headshots in marketing strategies. A person she met suggested she trademark herself as the "headshot strategist," and although Peggy initially dismissed the idea, she soon embraced it. Within three weeks, she established a standalone program and began helping people from all over the world with their headshots. As demand grew, Peggy expanded her services to include teaching photographers in a comprehensive certification course. Now, her main focus is supporting other photographers in running successful businesses. Peggy's journey unfolded unexpectedly, but it has become a thriving and fulfilling chapter in her professional life.

Business As Unusual, is a series produced by BiCurean Consulting. We present Entrepreneurs, Innovators, CEOs, & Founders who are innovating the way we do business. This episode we are chatting with K.B. Wagers a science fiction author. 

K.B. Wagers is an accomplished author whose writing career took off in 2016. Since then, they have been publishing books at an impressive rate, typically releasing one book per year. However, in both 2020 and 2021, they went above and beyond by publishing two books each year. All of their works have been traditionally published. One of their notable series is a set of two trilogies called the space operas, which follow the adventures of a gun runner turned empress. These books have been published by Orbit Books. Additionally, K.B. Wagers has a series of standalone novels set in the same world, titled the NeoG Adventures. These novels, published by Harper Voyager, revolve around a crew known as the near Earth orbital guard, similar to a space coast guard. The story revolves around the crew's close-knit relationships, as well as their involvement in the boarding game, an intramilitary competition.

Business As Unusual, is a series produced by BiCurean Consulting. We present Entrepreneurs, Innovators, CEOs, & Founders who are innovating the way we do business. This episode we are chatting with Nora DiNuzzo, CEO of Pitcher. 

Growing up, one thing Ms. DiNuzzo never aspired to be was an entrepreneur.

Running your own company was for the incredibly wealthy (Mr. Burns) or the incredibly innovative (Doc Brown). She was neither (according to her, we at BiCurean disagree - we experience her as quite innovative!)

The past few years she's learned a secret about entrepreneurs. The thing many of them have in common – they desperately want to fix something that drives them nuts.

As it turns out – throughout her life and career, a lot of things drove her nuts.

So nuts that in October 2021, she quit a VP-level job at an ad agency to start her own consultancy – Pitcher – to help small businesses grow.

Because the fact that agencies could rarely find a way to work with companies <$25mm in annual revenue drove her nuts.

Because she believes that small businesses deserve to grow, too.

In April 2023, she got a call from a friend that she never planned for – with an offer to create something she never considered doing less than two years into being a founder.

A second company.

Because the fact that so many brilliant agencies continuously struggle to grow drove him nuts.

As it turns out – it drives her nuts, too.

So nuts that she said yes – and Blood Sweat & Tears was born.

Yes, born. she has given birth to two human children – and two businesses – in the last 7 years.

There is not a damn thing women can’t do.

Business As Unusual, is a series produced by BiCurean Consulting. We present Entrepreneurs, Innovators, CEOs, & Founders who are innovating the way we do business. This episode we are chatting with Dr. Destiny Reddick & Ronaldo Griffin about Redefine the Pipeline.

Dr. Destiny Reddick, Founder of RtP Equity Coaching is a dynamic and determined educator, master teacher leader & dynamic equity coach with multipotential capabilities due to various professional experiences successfully teaching, coaching, and mentoring with equity intentionally at the forefront in all facets of diverse educational settings, including early childhood, elementary, secondary, and higher education, public and private alike, making her a standout choice in an oversaturated consulting market for both education and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) support. 

With 17+ years of experience, Dr. Destiny's professional background includes a track record of effectively teaching, leading and inspiring diverse students, teachers, and schools in both the P-12 and higher education settings. Throughout her varied career trajectory, she has intentionally focused on advocating for traditionally underserved families and communities. It's her life's work.

Since one of Dr. Destiny's expert areas is coaching due to her professional experiences successfully developing and mentoring pre-service and in-service educators in the region, her approach to equity coaching & consulting for schools, school systems, and organizations in fields such as healthcare, criminal justice, law firms, and nonprofits is unique; her formal background in instructional coaching and adult learning principles drives her consulting approach to center around strong coaching, first and foremost. 

Dr. Destiny's approach and philosophy to equity and education support for schools, universities, and organizations are simple. She believes consulting changes business while coaching changes behavior. People and organizations need both. She strongly believes effective coaching cycles that lead to long-lasting results such as recruitment, retention, and employee and customer/student satisfaction only occur in respectful, collaborative partnerships that provide engaging learning for all through the process of support with self-discovery.
