In this episode of to Founders, Future, with host Zach Young, Melissa Manning — serial entrepreneur, real estate investor, and founder of Audacious Founder — shares the story behind a decade of business-building: from her first rental at 23 to 13 companies in 10 years (coffee shops, yoga studio, restaurants, co-living, retail and more). She explains why real estate holds a special place for her, which business models she found most rewarding (and which were the hardest), and how COVID prompted a strategic shift toward coaching, wealth strategy, and helping other founders build diversified, meaningful income streams.

Melissa breaks down the Audacious Founder approach: one-on-one coaching, tactical workshops and in-person events, and a new women-only community that pairs education with cooperative investing so people can pool resources and invest in assets they actually understand. She walks through common mindset blocks around investing, her framework for turning strengths and passions into wealth, and her big goal to empower tens of thousands of women toward generational abundance. Practical, tactical, and candid — this episode is for founders who want to build wealth that fits their life and values.

In this episode of to Founders, Future, with host Zach Young, Amanda Hart — intuitive consultant, global mentor, and best-selling author — shares the unexpected path that led her from an early dream of interior design into a life of deep healing work. Amanda explains how personal crisis and recovery launched her into intuitive coaching, writing and media; today she works mainly one-on-one (with retreats and group work sprinkled in) helping burned-out professionals and purpose-driven leaders rewrite the subconscious patterns that keep them stuck. She walks through typical timelines (often a 3–4 month life-shift), the kinds of breakthroughs clients experience, and why referrals, books and media have been the core drivers of her practice.

Amanda also opens up about the practical side of growing a purpose-led business: restructuring to focus on longer mentorships, scaling retreats across the UK and Europe, and finishing a long-running film project about narcissism. She reflects on how writing five books (the first drafted in secret) catalysed her work, and leaves listeners with clear, human takeaways — trust your inner knowing, surface the subtle subconscious stories that hold you back, and create containers (retreats, mentorships, honest one-to-one work) that actually support long-term change. Amanda Hart’s episode is for anyone ready to move out of burnout and into a more aligned, sustainable form of leadership and life.

In this episode of to Founders, Future, with host Olivia Sammons, Trevor Blosser — founder of Splendor Coaching and Creating — opens up about his unexpected path into coaching, from early dreams of becoming a counselor to a corporate career at Walmart, to eventually stepping into his calling after a powerful moment at church and years of witnessing transformation within men's groups and ministry work. Trevor shares how he and his wife combined their strengths to build a coaching practice centered around deep emotional healing, relationship restoration, and personal transformation. Together, they guide individuals, couples, and families through challenges such as communication breakdowns, identity struggles, addiction patterns, and long-standing relational wounds.

Trevor also reflects on the realities of building a coaching business rooted in integrity and trust, where personal referrals play a major role because of the sensitive nature of the work. He explains how Splendor Coaching provides highly tailored one-on-one support, allowing clients to move through deeply embedded issues at their own pace, whether in marriage counseling, men’s coaching, or women’s coaching led by his wife. Trevor shares the joy of witnessing clients move from brokenness to breakthrough — from struggling relationships to restored marriages, stronger communication, and renewed purpose. With humility and warmth, he speaks on the challenges of scaling, the desire to help as many people as possible, and the courage it takes to believe in oneself while building a purpose-driven practice that transforms lives from the inside out.

In this episode of to Founders, Future, with host Zach Young, Karen Price — founder of Beyond the Wall Coaching — walks us through her journey from HR and corporate finance into a purpose-led practice that helps women create lasting health and wellbeing. Karen shares the moment her own fitness and nutrition turnaround clicked, how she built a sustainable approach to fat loss, and why she moved beyond diet culture to focus on mindset, habit design, and real-life practicalities that quietly sabotage progress. Her story is rooted in empathy and lived experience: once a yo-yo dieter herself, she now combines nutrition coaching with NLP-informed mindset work to help clients stop hitting the wall and start moving forward.

Karen breaks down how she works (one-to-one coaching, small groups, and workshops), why group coaching is a powerful accelerator, and the small, practical shifts — from clearing to-do lists to honest conversations about limiting beliefs — that create outsized results. She explains how she uses authentic, unpolished social content to attract clients, what she’s planning next (more workshops and broader support for women without explicit fat-loss goals), and why helping women reclaim time, confidence, and visible strength is central to her mission. This episode is full of practical takeaways for anyone tired of short-term fixes and ready for a sustainable, human-centred path to health.

In this episode of to Founders, Future, with host Olivia Sammons, Olivia sits down with Darion Rae, founder of Darion Rae Consulting, to uncover his journey from studying audio engineering to becoming a sought-after strategist helping leaders, creatives, and service providers turn LinkedIn into a predictable client-acquisition engine. Darion shares how a chance conversation with a professor-turned-ghostwriter sparked his entry into online business, eventually leading him from copywriting and ghostwriting into coaching. He reveals the foundational struggles many entrepreneurs face—irregular lead flow, lack of systems, unclear messaging—and explains how his Identity & Income Blueprint solves these bottlenecks by aligning strategy with personal identity, habits, and self-leadership.

Darion then breaks down how his current 12-week one-to-one program helps clients implement SOPs, build consistent lead-generation systems, and strengthen their self-concept so they can scale to 20K+ months sustainably. He also discusses his focus on organic LinkedIn growth, expanding into YouTube, nurturing prospects through a free Skool community, and his plans to introduce paid ads to reach 1,000 community members and 30–50K in monthly revenue. Throughout the conversation, Darion emphasizes speed of implementation, clarity of messaging, and becoming the type of person who can execute consistently—the inner and outer work required to build a long-term, scalable business.

In this episode of Founders, Future, with host Zach Young, Zach sits down with Douglas Pudney, founder of My Coach in a Box, to unpack three decades of hands-on business coaching and the new AI-powered strategic operating system Douglas is bringing to SME owners. Douglas traces his journey from early consulting and advisory work through Outcomes Business Group and Capital Bridge Studios, and explains how decades of proven frameworks inspired an “expert model” that packages elite coaching into an always-available assistant for clarity, rhythm, execution and exit readiness.

The conversation dives into the product: My Coach in a Box (launching Q1 2026), the Freedom Bridge framework and the Freedom Index that measures business health, and “Clara Clarity” — the expert persona built from top strategic thinkers and hundreds of advisor inputs. Douglas explains how the system blends proprietary frameworks with large language model support to deliver DIY and DFY options, white-label possibilities for advisors, and a partnership-led go-to-market focused on advisory and PE ecosystems. Listeners will come away with practical ideas about turning strategy into repeatable rhythm, building optionality for exits, and how AI can amplify — not replace — human expertise.

In this episode of to Founders, Future, with host Olivia Sammons, Olivia is joined by Angie Martin, founder of The Growth Manager — a business growth mentoring agency helping small and medium business owners rediscover clarity, rebuild their foundations, and scale sustainably without burnout. Angie shares her remarkable entrepreneurial journey, beginning with launching her first clothing brand at just 12 years old, and later building a diverse skill set across fashion, sales, marketing, bookkeeping, and business development. A serious accident in 2022 left Angie with chronic pain and limited working hours, forcing her to rethink how she worked — ultimately leading her to create a mentoring business rooted in flow, simplicity, structure, and deeply personalized support.

Angie explains how The Growth Manager helps founders renovate their “business house” from the ground up: redefining success, clarifying brand messaging, rebuilding systems, crafting revenue pathways, and then finally layering in marketing. She also shares how she attracts clients organically through value-based content, lead magnets, email marketing, and a rich referral ecosystem — all while managing her limited 12–15 hour work weeks. Angie discusses her plans for scalable monthly coaching, growth guides, and speaking engagements, the challenge of time management, and why outsourcing early is the advice she’d give to her younger self. Her story shows that sustainable growth isn’t about hustle — it’s about building a business that works with your life, not against it.

In this episode of to Founders, Future, with host Olivia Sammons, Olivia sits down with Gary Magor, founder behind several emerging men’s wellbeing initiatives including The Transported Man, Funkhauser, and Conversation Labs. Gary shares his powerful journey from three decades in high-pressure kitchens to discovering the emotional patterns, coping mechanisms, and hidden struggles men experience under stress. Living with ADD and navigating his own emotional breaking points, he became deeply curious about psychology, micro-expressions, body language, and the unspoken ways men communicate — or don’t. His lived experience ultimately shaped a mission to help men reconnect with resilience, build emotional vocabulary, and rebuild their self-worth from the inside out.

Gary also opens up about building his ecosystem of wellness tools: from men-focused positivity products to deep-dive courses, a 12-week “Broken to Unbreakable” program, and Conversation Labs, a concept built around dopamine-boosting question decks designed to spark meaningful connection. He discusses the realities of learning marketing as a self-employed chef funding his vision, the challenges of reaching male audiences, and his commitment to offering practical, day-to-day emotional support — not just lofty self-help promises. Gary’s approach is raw, relatable, and rooted in the belief that men aren't broken — they just need spaces where someone finally listens.
