In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we’re joined by Marie Bodine, an Inner Peace Coach, Level 2 Certified Wim Hof Method instructor, Spartan athlete, and the creator of Inner Peace Portal. Marie shares her journey from a long career in the fitness industry to developing a deeply integrative approach that blends somatic practices, breathwork, cold exposure, and cognitive training. Through years of observation, she recognized that many high-performing individuals were achieving external success while remaining internally stressed, disconnected, and unfulfilled—prompting her to build a system that addresses the body and mind together.

The conversation explores how Marie works with highly stressed individuals, founders, teams, and organizations through immersive workshops, in-person experiences, and coaching engagements. She explains why embodied experiences—like cold exposure—create powerful state changes that translate into better decision-making, resilience, and emotional regulation in business and life. Marie also discusses building her business through word of mouth, live events, and outcome-driven storytelling rather than traditional funnels, as well as her long-term vision of scaling thoughtfully, working with corporate teams, and maintaining integrity, depth, and sustainability as her impact grows.

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we’re joined by Janelle Trujillo, founder of Executive Health Habit Coaching. Janelle shares her journey from nearly two decades in the fitness and personal training industry into habit-based health coaching, shaped by her leadership roles in big-box gyms and the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic. As gyms shut down and stress behaviors surged, Janelle recognized that long-term health wasn’t about more information or motivation—but about understanding and reshaping habits at a deeper psychological level.

The conversation explores how Janelle now works one-to-one with executives and high-performing professionals, helping them build sustainable health habits around sleep, nutrition, movement, stress management, and mindset. She explains why awareness and accountability are central to her coaching approach, how executive environments often undermine health, and why longevity must be built from daily behaviors—not quick fixes. Janelle also shares her vision for scaling through a nine-month longevity protocol grounded in functional medicine principles, biomarkers, and lifestyle change, positioning health as a performance foundation rather than a reaction.

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we’re joined by Christina McGhee, founder of Divorce and Children and creator of the Co-Parenting Specialist Training Program. Christina shares how her personal experience as a child of divorce and later as a stepmother, combined with her background in social work, led her to dedicate her career to helping families navigate separation in a healthier, child-centered way. What began as teaching court-mandated parenting classes evolved into a lifelong mission to keep children at the center—not in the middle—of divorce.

Christina explains how her work now spans two interconnected paths: coaching parents through high-conflict and emotionally complex divorces, and training divorce professionals worldwide to apply a child-centered framework in their practice. The conversation explores her evolution from one-on-one coaching to large-scale professional training, the role of relationships and word-of-mouth in building trust and credibility, and the challenges of scaling impact while preserving quality. Christina also reflects on leadership, delegation, and the long-term vision of creating a global movement that reshapes how divorce is experienced by families and children.

Jacqui explains how Self Worth Foundation helps women entrepreneurs align who they are with how they build and scale their businesses by integrating self-worth, identity, and strategy. The conversation explores her blended model of coaching and business consulting, the importance of designing businesses around personal values, and why burnout is often mistaken for ambition.
