A quote from my guest Katie Swanson about choosing her niche. And sometimes, that’s all that matters, just go for it! Katie’s story is actual a great one.
She is a fitness enthusiast and has been all her life. Started out as an athlete, experienced her first group fitness class in college, took up running, and still today Katie is active as an avid exerciser, marathon finisher and triathlete.

“There has to be a better way”- Leonardo de Aguiar
A thought that already gave us great inventions. And a thought that made my guest an entrepreneur. Please welcome my guest Leonardo de Aguiar. Leo is the driving force behind Intueat (say: “In to Eat” as opposed to “we’re going Out to Eat”). It was actually the love of his life that inspired him to start his business.
At the time, he was in a long-distance relationship and he wanted to plan a romantic night at home for the next visit of his fiancee. However, the process of booking a professional high-end chef in Denver was very challenging and that inspired him to start his first business, Cheff Connect. When the pandemic hit, Leo had to pivot his business and launched his rebranded business “Intueat”.
Everything started as a small catering service with a fancy app, and nowadays his business is offering a restaurant-quality experience by some of Denver’s notable and emerging chefs in the comfort of his clients’ homes. To quote Leo: “It’s the soul behind the experience.” and that makes Intueat a one of a kind if you ask me.
We had a great conversation and Leo truly knows what it means to build a business that is customer centered. Let his story inspire you as well!

“We don’t need to be diagnosed, we don’t need any of that stuff, we just want somebody to listen” – Doug Lawrence
Please welcome my guest Doug Lawrence. He is the founder of TalentC® and Co-founder of the International Mentor Community. Doug leads organizations to experience the benefits how mentoring will encourage workforce culture to flow in harmony (mentors), improve productivity from employees (mentees), reducing costly employee onboarding improving the bottom line (organizations).
Doug served in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) for 25 years retiring in February of 1999 at the rank of Staff Sargent. As a result of his service, Doug had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). He is a volunteer mentor with the Sir Richard Branson Entrepreneur Program in the Caribbean and with the American Corporate Partners in the United States working with military personnel in their transition from military life to civilian life. Doug has worked with researchers to examine the role of mentoring as a support for those struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

We had a very interesting conversation, since mentoring has a lot of similarities to coaching, and as Doug mentioned, a lot of people are biased when PTSD is mentioned. When you truly want to help people, keeping an open mind is key and that can be a real challenge. Listen to this wonderful episode and become inspired!
