Beschrijving

Mission-driven founders don't usually come from hedge funds — but the ones who do tend to build differently. Most entrepreneurs chase a market. Scot Cohen walked away from co-founding a $300M New York hedge fund because he saw a broken system and had the capital markets expertise to fix it. He founded Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP), led $90M in financing, and built a non-lethal public safety device deployed across 1,000+ agencies in 60 countries. After this, you'll rethink what it means to build a business with staying power. ────────────────────────────────────────── CONNECT WITH SCOT COHEN & WRAP TECHNOLOGIES: 🌐 Website: https://www.wrap.com 📸 Instagram: @wraptechinc 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scot-cohen-643181375/ 🐦 X / Twitter: @wraptechinc 📘 Facebook: @wraptechinc ────────────────────────────────────────── Learn more about your ad choices.

The Compliance Gaps Quietly Exposing Family Offices

Most family offices believe their structure protects them, but it often does not.  Susan Lindeque, Founder and CEO of Avestix Technology Holdings, has managed over a billion dollars in private assets and knows exactly where the quiet failures hide. In this episode, she exposes the compliance gaps families overlook — from offshore entities and digital assets to fragmented ownership structures — and shares the integrated, real-time framework that keeps complex wealth protected across generations. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with Susan Lindeque 🌐 Website: www.avestix.com [http://www.avestix.com] 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanlindeque [https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanlindeque] Learn more about your ad choices.

PR in the AI Era: What Gets You Noticed Now

PR in the AI era has rewritten how attention works, and most founders are still running a playbook that stopped delivering. You're credible, consistent, and putting in the work, but the press isn't landing. The gap isn't your story; it's the missing system. Megan Brown Bennett, founder of national PR agency Light Years Ahead, brings 24 years of breaking brands through crowded markets to share exactly what earns coverage now and what to stop doing today. ────────────────────────────────────────── CONNECT WITH MEGAN BROWN BENNETT 🌐 Website: https://www.lightyearsahead.com/ [https://www.lightyearsahead.com/] 📸 Instagram: @lyapr | @mbbennettpr ────────────────────────────────────────── Learn more about your ad choices.

Public Safety Technology Just Crossed a New Line

Public safety technology is moving faster than most communities realize, and the gap between what agencies are equipped with today and what is already available is costing lives. Non-lethal restraint is only the beginning. Drones, counter-drone systems, virtual reality training, and federal defense contracts are now part of the same ecosystem. Scot Cohen, Founder and CEO of Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP), breaks down a major new drone acquisition and explains what the next five years of policing actually looks like. ────────────────────────────────────────── CONNECT WITH SCOT COHEN & WRAP TECHNOLOGIES: 🌐 Website: https://www.wrap.com 📸 Instagram: @wraptechinc 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scot-cohen-643181375/ 🐦 X / Twitter: @wraptechinc 📘 Facebook: @wraptechinc ────────────────────────────────────────── Learn more about your ad choices.

Women Who Win But Still Can't Breathe

Women in business are hitting revenue goals, filling calendars, and landing the clients they worked for. And most of them still don't feel like they've arrived. That's not a personal failure. It's the vanishing finish line, the pattern where every win immediately converts into the next responsibility before the founder gets to feel what she built. Beverly Cornell, founder of Wickedly Branded, breaks down why the business spends the relief before she does, and how ARRIVE goals and the enough line change the way women build from here. ────────────────────────────────────────── CONNECT WITH BEVERLY CORNELL 🌐 Website: https://www.wickedlybranded.com [https://www.wickedlybranded.com] 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beverlycornell [https://www.linkedin.com/in/beverlycornell] 📲 Instagram: @wickedlybranded | @beverlycornell ✨ Clarity Quiz (Free): Find out where you are on your branding journey and what to focus on next: https://form.jotform.com/250656007927864 [https://form.jotform.com/250656007927864] 💜 Clarity Chat (Free — 15 Minutes): Need personal guidance?

Authentic Leadership Builds Trust Faster Than Expertise

Authentic leadership is the asset most credentialed experts never fully use, and it is the reason talented people lose trust, clients, and teams they should already have. Expertise earns attention. Authenticity earns loyalty. Rich Lyons, entrepreneur, former CEO, and author of Life Is Sales, built his entire philosophy on the idea that real influence is created through self-awareness, relationships, and service — not titles or performance. After this episode, the way you show up in every room changes.
