Plunge into Prosperity

Mindy walked into this conversation as someone who's been in the thick of it — bedside nurse, ER administrator, fertility COO, and now running as CEO a 40-location dermatology network backed by private equity. But what really got me was when she said: it starts with the patient. And Begins with lifestyle changes. Every seat, every title — same north star. 

Mindy Eng is the CEO of MD Alliance Solutions, the management services organization running Advanced Dermatology PC — a 40-location, multi-state dermatology platform across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, scaling with private equity behind it. 

She started her career as a registered nurse in emergency medicine — clinician and administrator simultaneously — before moving into the C-suite as COO of a multinational fertility center, then VP of New Business Growth, then COO, and now CEO of the MSO that runs the entire network.

She is a Master Prepared Board Certified Nurse Executive and former adjunct professor at Rutgers School of Nursing. 

In this episode, Mindy and Brandi go deep on: 

• The systemic gaps in women's healthcare — PCOS as a metabolic condition, perimenopause, and why most studies are still based on men 
• What it actually looks like to scale a PE-backed healthcare platform from the operator's seat 
• The tools, AI solutions, and investment opportunities Mindy sees changing healthcare access 
• Their shared philosophy: healing the body first, then healing the system 
• What prosperity looks like after evolving from survival mode to abundance 
• Morning routines, Orange Theory at 5AM, cortisol and women's wellness 
• Sleep apnea innovation, wearable health data, and what's next in consumer health 

If healthcare, women's leadership, private markets, or the future of patient access is in your world — this conversation is for you.

What if your intuition isn't woo — but a measurable signal your body has been broadcasting your whole life? 

In Episode 9 of Plunge Into Prosperity, Brandi Kolosky sits down with Crystal Clenney — founder of Intuitive Human©, enterprise payroll architect (Starbucks, Delta, 100K+ employee systems), published poet, and one of our Sacral Sisters invested in, and backing, the SPV into Sacral Fund and advising the Fund itself. Recorded live from Waikiki, this conversation distills 20+ years of research into one bold thesis: intuition has a frequency — and we can find it in the brain, the heart, and the gut. 

Crystal shares the three-hour awakening at 25 that rewired her life, the voice she heard in her non-hearing ear that named her life's work, the 18 intuitive pathways she's defining (six clairs, six empaths, and the niche tracks), and why now — with neuroscience and biotech finally catching up — is the moment to bring direct knowing back to everyone. 

We're also in active due diligence on Intuitive Human, so consider this a front-row seat to a venture two decades in the making. 

🧬 Crystal is calling in 140 humans for Intuitive Human's first case studies — details at the end of the episode.

Welcome to Sacral Fireside Sessions — the new Plunge Into Prosperity series featuring the advisors, investor introducers, and strategic partners inside the Sacral ecosystem. This is Episode #1.

Host Brandi Kolosky (Founder & GP, Sacral Capital) sits down with Markell K. Blount — Founder of Quant Capital Group and The Deal Exchange — for the inaugural fireside and the podcast's first conversation with a male guest. Markell is a current Sacral Capital advisor, a Sacral Sisters SPV investor, and Brandi's partner on an active energy deal at time of recording.

Markell shares the moment that reshaped his career: a post-COVID depression that broke him out of survival-mode work in insurance and financial advisory, and the 18-month rebuild that turned him into one of Atlanta's most active capital connectors. He walks through his four pillars of prosperity — Body, Being, Balance, Business — and the daily palms-up / palms-down morning practice that grounds it.

Brandi gets candid about the $50M she accidentally raised for Formula E from a single investor in her late twenties — the deal she couldn't negotiate because she didn't know what an NCNDA was — and what business schools still fail to teach. The two unpack The Deal Exchange's rebrand from happy-hour networking to a 99-investor boardroom model for oil, gas, real estate, and alternatives, and why "act as if" beats "fake it till you make it" every time.

Plus: Andy Frisella's Power Five, Tom Coughlin's "humble enough to prepare, confident enough to perform," and why your network is your net worth — but only if you cut the takers.

What does it actually look like to "plunge into prosperity" — not once, but again and again, across an entire life?

In Episode 6 of Plunge Into Prosperity, Brandi sits down with Linda L. Keefe — CEO of Shared Results International, longtime publisher of Tech-Talk.com, author of 7 Habits of Egalitarian Managers, and co-author of The Man Behind the Roman Collar. With an MBA from RIT and 10+ years inside Xerox before launching her own firm in 1995, Linda has spent three decades teaching organizations — from the US Department of Labor to Kodak to the New York Philharmonic — that every voice on a team matters, from the janitor to the CEO.

But Linda's leadership philosophy didn't come from a textbook. It came from a life of bold, sometimes risky plunges: going back for her MBA later in life, learning to ski in Tehran while the Shah still ruled, surviving a decade-long battle with chronic fatigue syndrome, marrying a beloved Roman Catholic priest who left a 50-year ministry to be with her, and now — in Colorado Springs — leading a live Tai Chi and Qigong community for women rediscovering their vibrancy after 60.

Brandi and Linda dig into the rare skill of spotting the weakest link in any system (a diagnostic instinct Linda calls "egalitarian's edge"), the difference between listening and actually hearing your team, how breakdowns become breakthroughs, the underfunded reality facing women-led capital (just 1.9% of allocated dollars), and what it looks like to steward both a career and a healing journey in parallel.

Whether you're a founder, an investor, a team lead, or simply someone in the middle of your own quiet plunge, this conversation is a reminder: prosperity isn't a destination. It's a practice you return to.

In this episode:

• Why egalitarian leadership creates the highest-performing teams (and how to actually do it)
• The chronic fatigue syndrome years Linda lost — and what she gained
• Marrying a Roman Catholic priest after he served 50 years in ministry
• Skiing in pre-revolution Iran on black diamonds (no bunny slopes)
• The diagnostic skill of finding the weakest link in any business in minutes
• Why Brandi invests in women-led companies and Puerto Rican farming and energy infrastructure
• Tai Chi, Qigong, meridians, and aging in reverse
• Family, breakdowns-as-breakthroughs, and the chosen mothers who shape us

This is not a regular episode of Plunge Into Prosperity. 

Sacral Sisters on the Record interviews the Women Investors of Sacral Sisters SPV who have already taken the plunge.

It will be an ongoing series inside Plunge Into Prosperity, featuring the voices of the women who are stewarding the Sacral Sisters SPV — as LP investors, founding members, and community builders.

We invite you to listen to the vision of prosperity, legacy, and conscious capital through the journeys of those who have vetted and invested in Sacral Sisters to launch Sacral Fund.

These are not outside perspectives. These are their stories, their bold decisions, their definitions of what it means to truly prosper — on the record, unfiltered, and in full. 

We open Series 01 with the woman who helped birth Sacral Sisters SPV into existence — Deanna Reich. 

Deanna is the CEO and Founder of Coquina Capital, a real estate financing firm connecting investors directly to capital in Northeast Florida and beyond — at no additional cost to the investor. In 2025 she connected and closed $14.5M in capital. Today she is at $42.5M with an additional $50M in the pipeline. 

She was the original founding Managing Partner of Sacral Sisters SPV before stepping into her role as lead LP investor — and this episode is the full, unfiltered story of how she got here.

What happens when a classroom teacher walks away from a director's seat after being told she's "too much and not enough" — and decides to build something on her own terms instead? 

In Episode 5 of Plunge Into Prosperity, host Brandi Kolosky sits down with Katie Hutchinson, Founder & CEO of KHIT Consulting — a WBENC-certified, women-owned IT consulting firm based in Charlestown, Indiana, serving clients across the country from Arizona to New York. 

Katie shares the slow "aha" that pushed her out of corporate, the philosophy that makes her firm different (hint: she'll call them "cookie crumbs" if that's what you call them), and why prosperity, for her, is no longer a number — it's the freedom to meet people where they are and help them grow. 

In this conversation, you'll hear: 

✦ How Katie's first career as a classroom teacher rewired her definition of prosperity

✦ The exact phrase from a boss that became the turning point of her career

✦ Why KHIT learns the client's vocabulary before pushing any vendor language

✦ How she built a remote-first consulting firm before "remote-first" was a buzzword

✦ The industries KHIT serves beyond healthcare IT (manufacturing, construction, spa salons, home services & more)

✦ The truth about WBENC certification and what it actually unlocks

✦ Why she runs for school board, leads the League of Women Voters of Southern Indiana, and considers civic stewardship part of prosperity

✦ The two questions every business owner should ask themselves before calling KHIT

✦ Books that shaped her leadership — and what her corgi Daisy taught her about patience 

Whether you're a woman entrepreneur, a healthcare leader buried under documentation, a small business owner sizing up your tech stack, or someone quietly wondering if it's time to bet on yourself — this episode is your permission slip.

She danced professionally for 21 years. Now she's building a venture fund.

In this inaugural deep-dive episode of Plunge Into Prosperity, co-host Arundhati Patelolla turns the mic on founder and host Brandi Kolosky for the story behind it all — Sacral Capital, Sacral Sisters, Sacral Advisory, and the movement reshaping how women lead, gather, & build wealth.

From a trailer-born childhood in Florida to oil-and-gas flare bypasses for Bitcoin mining, from running marketing for Trump properties to founding a venture fund at the intersection of spirit and strategy — Brandi unpacks the four investment pillars driving Sacral Capital, the 1.9% statistic that lit her fire, and her framework of "Positive Pivoting" for moving through change instead of resisting it.

This is the Woman. The Fund. The Plunge.

We're diving into:

→ Why only 1.9% of global capital flows to women — and what Brandi is building in response

→ The four investment pillars driving Sacral Capital

→ "Positive Pivoting" — the framework Brandi coined for moving through change

→ How money, spirit, and numbers are the same energy

→ The wealth transfer coming to women, and why we need to be ready

→ From born in a trailer to building a fund — the unfiltered story
