Vulnerability is scary. Like the Wizard of Oz, we want to hide behind the curtain and project an image of perfection and strength... but that is not how we connect with others.

As someone who struggles to draw a stick figure, it seems far-fetched that I would leave my corporate comfort zone to dive head-first into a career as an artist... but that is exactly what Nancy Marks did. Nancy convinced herself that she had no artistic skills whatsoever, until she signed up for a fused glass class to spend quality time with her mother, and discovered a passion and talent while "embracing the imperfections" of art. She then merged her corporate and creative skills to start her own studio. Brilliant! Love this conversation and the lessons learned from it.

For many of us, our pets are family, and few things are as crushing as learning that a family member has been diagnosed with cancer, knowing the battle they have ahead of them. Thankfully we have people like Ashley Kalinauskas, who launched a cancer-battling biotech start‑up that resulted from her graduate thesis project at the University of Notre Dame.
Ashley Kalinauskas is the founder and CEO of Torigen, a biotechnology company helping our furry best friends live longer, healthier lives. Their initial product, VetiVax, is a personalized cancer vaccine that was originally developed to move forward for human clinical studies, but was repositioned to help the millions of dogs, cats and horses after a cancer diagnosis. Ashley has grown the company from an idea on the scientific benchtop, to a company of over 30 employees poised to help grow the animal health industry. Not only is Ashley a brilliant researcher, she is also a keen businesswoman who has successfully raised $16 million in investment funds so that they can continue to develop innovative immunotherapies.
Ashley has been recognized with numerous awards, such as Forbes 30 Under 30 2020, Animal Health Innovation USA Award 2021, Notre Dame Domer Dozen 2021, and Hartford Business Journal's 2023 Power 50.

Words matter... and the things you tell yourself can determine your future. In the same way, the things that have been told to you by others have probably made the biggest impact on how you see yourself... and if those things were negative, you may have had a difficult time achieving success, or feeling like you deserve it, or you may struggle with low self esteem. I had a fascinating conversation with Annie Delre about Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) and how to reduce stress in our lives.
Annie Delre is a nationally board certified Health and Wellness Coach who has worked with hundreds of clients to help them achieve a life of confidence, wellness, and success.
Along with multiple certifications, she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Integrative Wellness Coaching.

Sometimes we reach a point in life where we are so passionate about something that it causes a complete pivot to a more mission-driven career. Shani Bocian, the Founder and CEO of Allermi, was a teacher prior to pivoting to the medical industry.
Allermi is the first one-bottle allergy medication tailored to your symptoms. Patients fill out a symptom survey on their website that is reviewed by a physician at Allermi. Then, their customized nasal spray is sent to their door once or on a subscription basis.
Why does this matter? Because 70% of traditional treatment users in the US report dissatisfaction, there’s a record number of allergy sufferers, and we have a shortage of allergists. Shani is passionate about bringing clinically backed treatment that is more affordable, more effective, and easily accessible to allergy sufferers. Join us as we discuss her journey through the healthcare industry, the obstacles Shani faced along the way and her passion for improving the lives of allergy sufferers.
