Joshua Lee

Founder & CEO of First Light Studios ($100mm+ in managed revenue)

I’m Joshua Lee, founder of First Light Studios — and I help legacy brand owners bring their products into the modern digital marketplace without losing the heart of what made them successful in the first place.

I specialize in partnering with founders who’ve built trusted, values-driven businesses — often over decades — but haven’t yet figured out how to translate that success to platforms like Amazon, Walmart, or social commerce. My agency doesn’t just “do eCommerce.” We become strategic growth partners for brand owners who want to protect their legacy, expand their reach, and continue serving their customers in a changing world.

What makes me different is I don’t just understand eCommerce — I understand founders. I’ve worked with VC-backed startups and household names sold in Walgreens and REI, but I choose to work with companies that care about good stewardship, sustainable products, and people-first leadership.

Your audience will walk away with a clear understanding of how to:

Future-proof their brand in the face of digital disruption

Unlock new growth channels without compromising their values

Avoid common traps when entering Amazon or Walmart for the first time

Think differently about legacy, succession, and scaling with integrity

If your show is about entrepreneurship, brand building, purpose-driven leadership, or navigating change — I’ll bring a mix of strategic insight, real-world experience, and a deep respect for the people behind the products.

I’m all about creating real value for your listeners — whether they’re scaling their businesses or leveling up personally. My mission? To get them thinking differently, moving forward faster, and laughing a little along the way. If your audience walks away with even one action they can take immediately, I’ll consider it a win. (Bonus: I’m an engaging speaker who knows how to mix strategy with a little wit — because growth doesn’t have to be boring.)

Mike Leblanc 

Harvard | Marine | Sequoia Founder

Mike LeBlanc brings a distinct perspective shaped by experience in environments where decisions carry real consequences. He spent 13 years as a Marine Corps officer, including deployments and advisory work at the Pentagon, before transitioning into entrepreneurship and building robotics companies deployed in complex, real-world conditions.

After leaving the military, Mike co-founded multiple robotics companies, including Cobalt Robotics (acquired in 2024) and his current company, Foundation Future Industries, which builds humanoid robotic systems for defense and industrial applications. His work sits at the intersection of leadership, technology, national security, and organizational design.

Podcast conversations with Mike tend to go beyond surface-level business stories. He speaks candidly about leading under pressure, building teams from nontraditional backgrounds, translating military experience into civilian organizations, and what it actually takes to deploy technology in high-stakes environments. He also draws on experience building venture-backed companies at the intersection of AI and roboticsfrom early hiring and product decisions to scaling and fundraising across all stages. Hosts often find that his background creates natural entry points into discussions on leadership, trust, decision-making, ethics, and execution—whether the audience is interested in startups, defense, robotics, artificial intelligence, or personal leadership growth.

Sam Singh

4X Founder / Serial Entrepreneur & Author / $75M Raised - Founder/CEO Sentium Labs - World's First Voice Companion For Business

Four Exits, $75M Previously Raised -The Founder Building the World’s First Synthetic Voice First Co-Founder

Sam Singh is a serial entrepreneur and deep-tech founder who has raised over $75 million from top Silicon Valley investors and has been featured on CNN, CNBC, and leading global media.

He is the founder of Sentium Labs, based in San Francisco, and is the creator of MAXX — a voice-first AI business companion often described as the world’s first synthetic co-founder.

After multiple exits across marketing services, hospitality, and prop-tech, Sam is now working at the edge of AI development — not just building tools, but rethinking what intelligence itself means.

He is the originator of the concept of Composite Intelligence — a new paradigm that blends machine intelligence, enterprise data, and human “tribal knowledge” into a persistent, living system that can reason, remember, and execute in real time through voice.

Educated at UC Berkeley, Sam is also the author of a book on AI and the future of work, and his current mission is radical: to replace the need for software interfaces, dashboards, and even human co-founders with a voice-driven synthetic business partner that thinks, plans, and acts alongside you.

His work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, human behavior, and the future of entrepreneurship — and offers a rare, practical look at what happens when AI stops being a tool and starts becoming a collaborator.
