In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we meet Amanda Nowak, founder of Element Eight. Amanda shares her powerful journey from running a successful but burnout-inducing interior decor business to discovering her true calling. She opens up about the pivotal moment of realizing that outward success didn't equal internal fulfillment, and how that experience directly inspired her to build a coaching company dedicated to helping other women entrepreneurs navigate the same crossroads.

Amanda delves into the core of Element Eight, explaining how her 6-month program helps high-achieving female founders reconnect with their values and purpose. She discusses the critical decisions they face: whether to radically restructure their current business for joy and profitability or to courageously pivot into a completely new venture. The conversation also touches on the realities of scaling a service-based business, the power of referrals, and the importance of designing a company that aligns with your energy and life goals, not just revenue targets.
