CathConnect is dedicated to providing a safer and more effective solution for patients.
Joelle also sheds light on the intricacies of the MedTech industry, with its unique challenges related to reimbursement and purchasing pathways in different care settings. The company's initial focus will be on selling to hospitals, with plans to showcase their product's safety and efficacy through publications and conferences.

In this episode of the podcast, Leslie Danford, the founder and CEO of Vitaminis, a clean-label functional food and beverage brand, shares her inspiring journey from being laid off to becoming an entrepreneur. Leslie's background is in finance and consulting, but her passion for health and nutrition eventually led her to launch Vitaminis in 2020.
Leslie's entrepreneurial spirit dates back to her childhood when she displayed early signs of business acumen by writing and selling books to her family. Despite her interest in entrepreneurship, Leslie followed a traditional career path, working in large corporations in the beverage and consumer products industry.
The turning point came in 2020 when Leslie was laid off from her job and faced the challenges of being a stay-at-home mom to three young boys amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This period of reflection and necessity led her to consider her passion for health and wellness and the need for products that offer natural, clean-label nutrition.
Leslie's journey to create Vitaminis was a gradual process. She began by conducting extensive research, interviewing friends, family, and colleagues to understand their nutritional needs and challenges. This process helped her refine her idea and focus on immune support, a critical need during the pandemic.
To bring her vision to life, Leslie had to navigate the complex world of formulation and production. She sought guidance from industry experts and conducted meticulous research to find the right partners for product development. Despite the challenges, her determination and persistence paid off.
One of the key takeaways from Leslie's journey is the importance of persistence and resilience. She faced rejection initially but didn't give up. Instead, she continued to build relationships and refine her product until she secured opportunities with retailers like Fresh Time.
Leslie also emphasizes the significance of getting feedback and not striving for perfection from the start. By putting her product out into the market and listening to customer feedback, she was able to make necessary improvements and adjustments.
Currently, Vitaminis is available in various retail stores, and Leslie continues to connect directly with customers through their website. Her story serves as a testament to the power of determination, adaptability, and the pursuit of one's passion in the world of entrepreneurship.

This episode isn't just for fitness enthusiasts but for every budding entrepreneur out there.
While Allison's personal transformation through Burst Fitness is commendable, her broader mission shines even brighter.

Had I known how many of the challenges of running a startup were like, specifically like ADHD kryptonite, I probably would have tried to figure out my brain a little bit better first, would it change the order of operations there a little bit, maybe stuck with having like a regular job for a little while.
I've learned like other coping tactics aside from medication are essential. essential, I think, for treating ADHD for the vast majority of people. But it's super corny, like exercising every day, it really like it makes a big difference. And I did not understand meditation. Like I was like, you want me to sit still and like not think what? That's not that's actually like physiologically impossible for me. Once I started taking medication, meditation became a real important part of my self care practice.

A “disciplined rebel” – behind Angela’s high achiever mentality beats the maverick heart of one who has always lived according to her own rules. If Angela were a movie, she would be a remix of “Breakfast at Tiffany” AND “Easy Rider”: as she perfectly integrates and embodies the two opposites. Her style has a sophisticated, yet casual elegance; and her knowledge feeds her unassuming power. Angela believes that even those who have achieved what others have defined for them as the highest levels of success deserve to truly, deeply, love – and live – their one life to its fullest. https://angelasanti.it/ (https://angelasanti.it/) https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelasanti/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelasanti/)

Dawn is an executive leadership coach who spent over 25 years in large manufacturing organizations. Starting her career as an engineer, she transitioned to human resources after 10 years where she discovered her passion for developing people. After leaving her last corporate role as a vice president of HR, she began coaching leaders in Fortune 50 corporations to start-ups. In 2017, she joined forces with two colleagues that she met at the Hudson Institute of Coaching, and co-founded BenchStrength Coaching. Their focus is to help companies improve their talent pipeline and make coaching accessible to leaders beyond the C-suite. The three female founders share a passion for coaching, and especially developing women leaders. Before becoming certified coaches, each was an executive in male-dominated industries. As they coached women leaders, they heard many of the same situations they had encountered during their careers. This led them to create the leadership development program Women Rising©. In this program they pass along practical knowledge they gained through their experiences…things they wish they had learned earlier in their careers. When not coaching or sharing the Women Rising program, Dawn loves to travel, and enjoys great food and a nice glass of wine. https://www.linkedin.com/company/benchstrength-coaching/ (https://www.linkedin.com/company/benchstrength-coaching/) http://www.benchstrengthcoaching.com ( www.benchstrengthcoaching.com) -- CONNECT WITH THE WILD FEATHER -- Website: https://www.thewildfeatherpodcast.com/ (https://www.thewildfeatherpodcast.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewildfeatherpodcast (https://www.instagram.com/thewildfeatherpodcast) Twitter: https://twitter.com/thewildfeather_ (https://twitter.com/thewildfeather_) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewildfeatherpodcast (https://www.facebook.com/thewildfeatherpodcast) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewildfeatherpodcast (https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewildfeatherpodcast)
Laura and Taly are a dynamic duo of Product Managers but with completely different backgrounds that allows each of them to bring different strengths to building Blink Date. They met on Instagram and a few years later found themselves building a startup together. Blink Date is flipping the script for dating by providing an audio-only blind speed dating app. They want to give people a chance to focus on what truly matters when looking for a life partner: compatibility, character, values, communication, and conversation. They are on a mission to eliminate bias on the basis of appearances, including on the basis of race, ethnicity, and gender. The idea for Blink came when Taly had an amazing experience at a blackout restaurant. In 2020, Taly began turning her vision into reality and hopes to change online dating’s looks-first paradigm. They plan on taking this concept beyond the dating world.

Basically, buying a house sucks — you’re dragged through an opaque process, uneducated and confused, by an agent you don’t even know if you can trust. DwellWell aims to solve this problem by building a platform that educates homebuyers on what they need to know before connecting them with an agent. Based on your needs we can connect you to the best agents in your area and you can meet with them as an equal. Agents on the DwellWell platform can now speed up their lead-to-close ratio by working with high-intent buyers, and reduce the burden of being the sole educator in the process. With DwellWell, agents can get back to the work of actually closing deals.

Stephanie Sarka, Founder & CEO of https://1atelier.com/ (1 Atelier), is a seasoned entrepreneur with deep experience in building businesses and brands. Graduating from Stanford, she worked in M&A at Goldman Sachs, followed by a year running marketing for International Flavors & Fragrances in Paris. After getting her MBA at Harvard Business School, she worked for Lew Frankfort at Coach for seven years, where she earned her stripes as a “merchant” and an “operator” and held numerous leadership positions including the successful re-launch of Mark Cross, the American luxury goods brand. Stephanie then co-founded http://goto.com/ (GoTo.com) in 1998 (later Overture), one of the first hugely successful Internet companies, where they invented the “Paid Search” business model that today powers Google, taking the company public one year after launch and growing it to ~$1 billion in revenue in four years before selling it to Yahoo for $1.6 billion in 2003. A serial entrepreneur and start-up investor, Stephanie is most recently the co-founder and CEO of 1 Atelier, the transformational direct-to-consumer custom luxury brand that celebrates originality and is bringing the joy and fun back into luxury. Clients design their one-of-a-kind bags at http://1atelier.com/ (1Atelier.com); each product is then meticulously handcrafted from the finest leathers at their NYC Atelier and delivered within 21 days. As the only natively custom luxury brand, 1 Atelier is also the only inherently sustainable luxury brand. Raw materials are brought in just-in-time and production is done on-demand. This eliminates over-production which is the major source of the 13 million tons of waste generated annually by the fashion industry. Given their unique custom production platform and their proprietary customization technology, 1 Atelier is on course to up-end the luxury goods industry. -- CONNECT WITH THE WILD FEATHER -- Website: https://www.thewildfeatherpodcast.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewildfeatherpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/thewildfeather_ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewildfeatherpodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewildfeatherpodcast
