Innovation: without it there would be no 'us' as a species. There would be no tool use, no language, nothing recognizable as human anywhere. Innovation is the defining hallmark of our species, and in today's world of constant growth and change, an indispensable tool in the arsenal of the entrepreneur. If that's not obvious enough, John Saunders will help break it down further for you in his repeat visit here at NMM. With examples from his recent foray to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, he'll explain the hows and whys of innovation in the modern workplace and how to get you and your team leading the way through serial innovation.

The highs and lows of entrepreneurship are a constant across any sector, and the film industry is no different. Ben Daniele knows this well, running a successful film company, Scatter Brothers Productions, for over a decade. In addition to his many film accolades, there is another reason we've brought him to the show: he's a blast from (Angie's) past! When he and Angie met in 2009 at the Breckenridge Film Festival, he and his business partner were fresh out of college and already on the fast track to success. Fast-forward to 2022, and Scatter Brothers is on a roll, with a feature film-focused expansion into the Atlanta area and a number of films, tv shows, and commercials under their belt. He's got quite the story to tell about his success and a couple of teasers about what we can expect from them soon.

The modern American work week can be brutal. Not only are you expected to work long hours for less and less pay, but the benefits aren't always beneficial, and the so-called "vacation time" doesn't stretch nearly far enough. The American Dream just isn't what it used to be... Like so many of us, Craig Severinsen was stuck in the above work rut, and he decided to do something about it: he founded the Built to Scale Framework, a system for growing your business, putting in place systems so that businesses can grow and scale beyond what the founder is capable of on their own. Listen in, and let Craig show you how to live life on your own terms.

We've all been there before: You just nailed that interview, and you head home expecting to get your offer letter/call in the morning. But tomorrow comes and goes, and no call or letter.

Growing up in America, we're always asked "what do you want to be when you grow up?" Which in and of itself is fine; but very rarely do we get asked who you want to be when you grow up. Genesis Amaris Kemp is all about finding the answers to the second question, in order to complement the answer to the first. Working in a pre-ordained space in a pre-ordained job is where she found herself for several years. In finding her way back to her true self and true purpose she has empowered many others to prioritize who they want to be over what they want (or others want of them) to do.
