    Charlie Cooper on Turning Passion into Purpose

    Following Your Talent: A Conversation with Duke Photographer Charlie Cooper Most people know their talent long before they have the courage to follow it. Charlie Cooper — Duke sophomore, award-winning photographer, documentary storyteller, and co-founder of Rising Stars of Africa — is already doing both. In this episode, Charlie shares how he discovered his gift at 13, how he's choosing his own path instead of the traditional one, and why following your talent matters more than ever. 3 Takeaways: Your calling shows up early — pay attention to what energizes you. The road less traveled requires blocking out noise and trusting your gift. One idea, paired with passion, can impact a community — or your life. --- Charlie Cooper is a sophomore at Duke University studying biology & visual media. He is a passionate photographer and storyteller with a specific focus on wildlife and human related issues. Charlie's wildlife photography has won awards and he's produced 2 short-films about conservation issues in Ghana.

    What are You Good At: Mentorship & Follow-Up with Tony Konja

    Enjoyed learning from Tony Konja of Artistic Outdoor Services, alongside Jeff Gunsberg. A few moments that stood out to me: Self-awareness beats a perfect plan. Tony didn't choose an industry—he leaned into his strengths. One truck turned into 25 by doing the basics well. The right mentor opens doors. Guidance matters. Access changes everything. Follow-up builds trust. Simple communication. Fast response. Do what you say. Great businesses aren't built by doing everything. They're built by doing the right things—consistently.

    Leon Mallett on Why Follow-Up Wins More Business

    When was the last time you followed up with a client or prospect? Most people stop after one message. The pros don't—because follow-up builds trust, not pressure. Here are my 3 takeaways from my Think Business + Sales conversation with Leon Mallett, Marketer at Title Connect 👇 1. Follow-up separates amateurs from pros. 40% of salespeople never follow up a second time. The best? They follow up forever—because they know top-of-mind = top-of-market. 2. There are two kinds of follow-up. Sales follow-up wins the deal. Service follow-up keeps the client. Do both well—and you'll stand alone. 3. Follow-up builds your brand. Every message, email, and check-in becomes a touchpoint. Just like a McDonald's jingle, repetition makes people remember you. Coach Jones said it best: "The best do more than the rest." --- Leon Mallett, CHRS, is a Marketer at Title Connect, LLC, Commercial and Residential Title Rep, Residential Real Estate Specialist, Redeveloper & Investor/Community Developer He is a dynamic leader with 20 years of experience driving daily operation excellence, human resources, staffing, training and community relations within corporate, real estate, retail and manufacturing environments. Leon was instrumental in establishing a new internship program, facilitating training, and enhancing operations. He is highly experienced in public speaking and has spoken at multiple high schools, colleges and universities in the state of Michigan. Leon is very active in community service and working with disadvantaged youth.

    Ekaterina Gorbacheva on Scaling a Business Across Cultures

    How often do you pause to thank someone — really thank them — for making your day better? I sat down with Ekaterina Gorbacheva, Head of Global Expansion at FlowWow, a marketplace helping local shops deliver gifts, flowers, and pastries across 40 countries. We talked gratitude, culture, and scaling globally. Here are my 3 takeaways: 1. Know your market. Localization isn't translation — it's understanding people, culture, timing, and trust. 2. Gratitude drives business. A simple thank-you or small gesture can strengthen relationships at every level. 3. Growth starts with awareness. Before you scale, educate your market and connect your mission to real human needs. --- Ekaterina Gorbacheva is leading global expansion at Flowwow. She leads Flowwow's international growth initiatives, operational excellence, and market entry strategies in key regions, including the UAE, Spain, Turkey, and the UK.

We dig into where AI is heading — and how to make it your edge, not your threat. Here are my Top 3 Takeaways: 1️⃣ The power isn't in automation — it's in collaboration. Treat AI like a teammate, not a tool. 2️⃣ Every industry built on knowledge work is being reshaped. 3️⃣ The gap is widening between those who lean in and those who wait. --- Dr. Michael Housman is the founder and CEO of AI-ccelerator where he helps organizations decipher and leverage advances in artificial intelligence.

    Daniel Eyman on Making Smarter Decisions with Data and Instinct

    What risk are you underestimating right now? On this Think Business episode with Dan Eyman, CEO and Managing Director of MELD Valuation, we dive deep into how to think smarter about risk, data, and gut instinct. Dan's firm specializes in independent, audit-ready valuations for venture-backed startups and VC firms. What stood out most from our conversation: 💡 1. Hope isn't a business plan. If you hear a leader say "I hope this happens," that's a red flag. Hope doesn't drive growth — execution does. 💡 2. Data tells the story — but gut gives it life. Quantitative data gives proof. Intuition gives perspective. The smartest decisions come from aligning both. 💡 3. The shelf life of strategy is shrinking. AI, market shifts, and tech disruption mean your 10-year plan may expire in 1 or 3. Check your assumptions often — they age fast. ➡️ What assumption in your business needs to be challenged today?   --- Dan Eyman is the Managing Director of Meld Valuation, a firm specializing in independent, audit-ready valuations for venture-backed startups and venture capital firms. With over two decades of experience in valuation and financial advisory, Dan has worked with early- and growth-stage companies across a range of industries, guiding them through complex financial decisions related to fundraising, equity compensation, and M&A."

    Mike Tadasco on Staying Ahead in the Age of AI

    What are you doing right now with AI to grow your business, master the tools, and boost productivity, creativity, and results? I sat down with Mike Tadasco — Visiting Fellow teaching AI at SDSU and former Head of Innovation at PayPal — to unpack: 💬 Where AI is going ⚙️ How fast it's moving 🚀 What every business owner, leader, and creator needs to be doing today 💡 How to stay relevant, productive, and creative in the next 3 years 📈 Why now is the time to experiment, learn, and take action My 5 Takeaways 💡 AI isn't coming — it's here. Every 30 days feels like a year. If you're not adapting now, you'll be playing catch-up later. 🤖 Humans + AI win together. The person who knows how to use the tools will outperform the person who doesn't — every time. 🌐 Your brand is your business card. As automation grows, connection and credibility become your currency. Be visible. Be authentic. Be searchable. 🎨 Creativity drives growth. AI removes friction. It's your multiplier for videos, content, ideas, and speed. The edge goes to those who use it boldly. ⚡ Start now. Not someday. Spend a few minutes each day experimenting, prompting, learning, and applying. The habit you build today will define your next three years. Q: How are you using AI to grow your business right now?
