In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we are joined by Emily Romano, founder of UpLevel with Emily. Emily shares her profound entrepreneurial journey, detailing how her own series of personal and professional "dark nights of the soul"—from a failed tech startup to a traumatic relationship breakup—became the catalyst for her current work. She explains how these pivotal moments of failure and pain revealed a critical market need and led her to discover her true zone of genius: guiding high-achievers to heal subconscious wounds and regulate their nervous systems to unlock their full potential.

Emily delves into the core of her transformative coaching methodology, which blends strategic mindset work with subconscious reprogramming to help clients break free from limiting beliefs rooted in childhood. She discusses her evolving business, including the strategic pivot from working primarily with women on betrayal trauma to now serving both high-performing men and women with tailored group programs and one-on-one coaching. Emily also outlines her vision for scaling her impact through new marketing funnels, group containers, and retreats, emphasizing the power of taking action to build momentum and the importance of investing in a coach to shortcut success.
