Darius shares the mindset and the method that turn your hardest chapter into your greatest asset. ────────────────────────────────────────── CONNECT WITH DARIUS ROSS 🌐 Website: https://dariuswrites.com/ [https://dariuswrites.com/] ────────────────────────────────────────── Learn more about your ad choices.

Mission-Driven Founder Left a $300M Hedge Fund

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.

When the same walls keep appearing despite better systems and smarter plans, the root cause is almost always human. It is not your fault. It is the missing framework. April Elias brings 25 years of talent acquisition and workforce transformation experience to explain what to look for, what to face, and what finally changes when you fix the people problem first.

The Blueprint Women Were Never Given to Build Wealth

Most women were never given the playbook on how to make money work while they sleep. The wealth gap between men and women is not a talent gap or a discipline gap. It is an access and education gap. Susan Lindique, founder and CEO of Avestics Group, chartered accountant, and private equity expert with over $1 billion in transactions, breaks down her five-bucket portfolio framework for women starting at any level — from clearing debt to diversifying across stocks, real estate, digital assets, venture capital, and your own business. ────────────────────────────────────────── CONNECT WITH SUSAN LINDIQUE 🌐 Website: https://www.avestix.com [https://www.avestix.com] 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanlindeque [https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanlindeque] 📧 Email: susan@avestix.com [susan@avestix.com] ────────────────────────────────────────── Learn more about your ad choices.
