Entrepreneur’s Enigma | From Poopy Pipelines to Predictable Growth

Lindsay Rios is a Fractional CRO & owner of GTM Done Right, helping B2B companies turn accidental growth into intentional growth. Many of the businesses she works with have built revenue growth through referrals, word of mouth and organic inbound. But eventually those channels stop producing the same results, growth becomes less predictable, and leadership realizes they need a more intentional go-to-market strategy.

This is where Lindsay comes in to identify the real causes of stalled growth, whether it’s a misaligned ICP, a disconnected revenue strategy or what she famously calls a “poopy pipeline.”

Lindsay also partners alongside Mandy McEwen, where they help business with their revenue growth by integrating social selling into their GTM strategy.

Entrepreneur’s Enigma | Happiness Is Not the Goal: The Real Meaning of Joy

Larry Kesslin is an author who explores the difference between happiness and joy in his life and work. He describes happiness as a response to circumstances, but sees joy as something deeper—a profound knowing of what, who, and why you are. Through his writing and personal philosophy, Larry emphasizes that true joy comes from inner understanding and self-awareness, rather than external validation or fleeting emotions.

He recently published his fourth book, The Joy Molecule, which includes 8 stories of amazing humans that have taught him 5 key lessons to finding his joy.

After a decades-long entrepreneurial journey, including a life-changing trip to Africa, Larry now helps high achievers redefine success, reconnect with who they truly are, and create lives filled with meaning, connection, and joy.

Through his frameworks around identity, purpose, and conscious connection, Larry guides people to shift from “what they do” to “why they’re here.” He brings deep wisdom, powerful stories, and a grounded, human approach to transformation.

Entrepreneur’s Enigma | How a High School Dropout with 5 Advanced Degrees Became a DNA and AI Innovator

Dr. Fredric Abramson is the CEO of Golden Thread Technology.

He started the company to harness the power of DNA analysis to lower athletic injury risks. His approach is built around an AI machine learning framework that uses each athlete’s unique genetic blueprint to identify important differences in body structure, nutrition requirements and performance behaviors.

The mobile interface provides ongoing, real-time, practical, personalized ongoing collaborative inputs and insights to each athlete’s actions that will lower the risk.

His approach is based on his work as a pioneer in creating artificial intelligence applications to solve health and medical problems.

He holds a patent for A System and Method for Evaluating and Providing Nutrigenomic Data, Information and Advice (7877273). This patent covers the use of wireless to match a person’s genetic data with nutrition ingredients to lower the risk of disease.

Fredric has been an adjunct professor of biotechnology at Johns Hopkins University since 1996. His courses include the Economics of Change in Biotechnology, Creating the Biotechnology Enterprise, and Financial Management in Biotechnology.

Previously he held full time faculty appointments at the American University Kogod College of Business and the University of Kentucky College of Medicine.

Fredric holds five higher education degrees. These include his Ph.D. in Human Genetics and Population Planning from the University of Michigan, his Master of Science in Management from MIT, where he was an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow, and his B.A. in mathematical biology from the University of Pennsylvania. His M.S. in Biology is from the University of Rochester and his J.D. is from American University.

Fredric’s service has been recognized by international bodies. He was the Chair of the Business Section of the Software Publishers Association, and was the designated U.S. representative to the European Union Fifth Framework on NutriGenomics.
