Paul Barattiero

Dr. Paul Barattiero, Founder of Echo

Dr. Paul Barattiero is the founder of LumaNova and a leading advocate for performance-based red light therapy systems designed to support cellular health, recovery, and long-term vitality. With more than two decades of experience in the health and wellness industry, he focuses on advancing non-invasive technologies that enhance mitochondrial function, improve energy production, and optimize the body’s natural recovery processes.

Through LumaNova, Dr. Paul develops photobiomodulation devices engineered to deliver clinically relevant wavelengths and power densities aligned with published research. His work centers on helping individuals, athletes, and wellness providers integrate red and near-infrared light therapy into practical, measurable health routines. By bridging consumer accessibility with professional-grade standards, he positions red light therapy as both a performance tool and a foundational wellness modality.

Scientific literature on photobiomodulation underscores that therapeutic benefit is dose-dependent. The biological response to red and near-infrared light is influenced by wavelength specificity, irradiance, exposure time, and cumulative energy delivery. Peer-reviewed studies suggest that when light is delivered within established parameters, it may support:

• Enhanced mitochondrial ATP production and cellular energy output

Research consistently emphasizes that precision matters. Effective photobiomodulation requires consistent wavelength accuracy and controlled irradiance levels to align with validated photobiological standards. This research-driven approach informs the development philosophy behind LumaNova systems and distinguishes clinically aligned devices from commodity wellness lighting products.

Ruth Douthitt, Manager of RAD Writing, LLC

Through story and art, Ruth Douthitt explores faith, courage, and creativity—inviting readers and viewers to see the extraordinary beauty hidden in ordinary moments.

As a best-selling self-published author across multiple genres, I’ve spent years learning the ins and outs of the publishing world. Through my award-nominated podcast, "A Writer’s Day," I’ve interviewed hundreds of authors and discovered the incredible power of community—how sharing our creative journeys can inspire, connect, and motivate us all. I'd love to share about my books and my writing journey with your audience.

As an educator, I love to inspire others to never quit learning. I returned to school to obtain my masters in Mental Health and Wellness.

Beyond writing, I’m also a mental health and wellness advocate and a trained grief support group facilitator with GriefShare. I’ve seen firsthand how storytelling and the arts can bring healing, helping people navigate loss and rediscover hope. Empowering others to find light through creativity and faith is truly my passion.

When I’m not writing or podcasting, you’ll often find me running desert trails or hiking mountain paths—activities that help me nurture both mental clarity and spiritual renewal. I've completed many marathons, half marathons, and ultramarathons to challenge myself. These races have taken me to lovely Rome, to Lake Powell, and to the forests of Yosemite National Park.

Glyn Powditch

3rd Degree BJJ Black Belt & AI Marketing Founder Helping Businesses Turn Ads into Growth & Profit

Most businesses know they need more leads or more sales, but very few understand why their current marketing isn’t working — or where they’re wasting money.

That’s where I come in.

I’m a business owner, 3rd degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and co-founder of Dream Agility, where I help companies across lead generation and eCommerce turn inconsistent, expensive marketing into predictable growth. My background combines hands-on experience running a gym with deep expertise in Google Ads, AI, and performance marketing.

I’ve also shared these insights across a range of podcasts and platforms, including appearances on:

BJJ Fanatics YouTube (1M+ subscribers)

What makes this valuable for podcast audiences is that I don’t speak in theory — I work directly with businesses dealing with real challenges:

Rising ad costs

On podcasts, I break down what’s actually happening in modern marketing from why many businesses overspend on ads, to how AI and data can be used to improve performance without simply increasing budget.
