  • Phil Masiello, founder of CrunchGrowth and a seasoned entrepreneur, is known for his revolutionary impact on the e-commerce and business strategy sectors. He embarked on his entrepreneurial journey at 27 and enhanced his expertise with an MBA in Marketing and Finance. Phil's ventures, including his pioneering role in e-commerce for the meal industry and his transformative work with Raw Essentials, showcase his strategic acumen.

    With 800razors.com, he demonstrated creative and effective PR strategies. His agency, CrunchGrowth, stands out for its innovative, cost-effective approaches to maximizing sales, particularly in food products and personal care. Phil also hosts "Crunching Your Growth" on E360tv, where he interviews leading experts and shares that wisdom on entrepreneurship, inspiring a new wave of business leaders. His story reflects a commitment to transformative thinking in the ever-evolving e-commerce realm.

  • "I don't play favorites, but let me say that my time with Robert Wolfe and Allison Capaldi ranks right up there," says Hersh of his joint interview with the brilliant minds behind Zeck the company that is revolutionizing, streamlining, and frankly just making tolerable, the process of preparing decks and holding board meetings and presentations.

    Zeck is a cloud-based software platform that is transforming the board meeting. Zeck creates both time efficiency and qualitative improvement of board dynamics. Basically, after living through miserable and outdated board meetings, as both operators and board directors, we decided to completely reimagine the entire board meeting process. 

    Zeck is co-founded by Edward Norton, an award-winning actor, filmmaker, and entrepreneur, and by Robert and Jeffrey Wolfe, the founders of Moosejaw (acquired by Walmart) and CrowdRise (acquired by GoFundMe). James Zubok, an incredibly experienced software company operator and private equity investor, is a founding partner. 

    Zeck is reimagining the entire board meeting process. Leadership teams are saving a crazy amount of time (Zeck AI is mind blowing) and sending a superior product to their board. But, the ultimate game changer is that Zeck is having a transformational impact on the dynamics between leadership teams and their boards, making the process strategic and forward thinking. You will never again go into a board meeting and scroll through a deck that your board already read. Such a phenomenal waste of everyone’s time.

  • Dr. Thomas Trautmann is a self-described “Happy Tribes Builder” who first fostered community within his own family. Living in the south of France on the picturesque coast, Thomas spends quality time with his patient wife, their three sons, and their furry entourage of dogs, cats, and horses.

    Beyond his home life, Thomas builds community with his clients. Following scientific studies in artificial intelligence (Ph.D) and earning an engineering degree in computer science, his career led him to marketing and sales positions at established companies like IBM, HP, AOL, Bosch, and Steelcase. An entrepreneur at heart, Thomas eventually left the corporate world to start his own business – and learn from his mistakes along the way.

    Several years ago, Thomas became a Certified Neuromarketing Instructor. He now leverages the latest brain and decision-making science to improve his clients’ marketing, sales, and business strategies. During his studies, Thomas noticed differences between male and female brains. This knowledge inspired him to create the NeuroCouple System and write his first book “Is There a Brain in Your Couple?” to help couples understand each other’s hardwiring.

    Though neuromarketing provided powerful insights, Thomas realized the field lacked humanity’s smile. He decided to share this knowledge with his clients to help others make the best decisions. This mission gave rise to his Ethical Persuader System and second book “Get More! Money, Success, Followers.”

    By merging the NeuroCouple and Ethical Persuader systems, Thomas created a solution for the married business owner (m/f) to strengthen their personal and professional lives. He helps CEOs, Executives and Business Owners evolve from stressed Chihuahuas to happy and successful Kangals teaching and coaching them to Get More! Trust, Success and Fun!
    Becoming a 10X Business Coach with Grant Cardone was a natural next step for Thomas to combine brain science and ethical persuasion with Cardone’s incredible expertise in money, marketing, and sales – helping clients grow 10X.

    Today, Thomas gives workshops, trainings, coaching, and seminars for organizations and individuals worldwide. He speaks at global conferences, empowering people to become ethical persuaders and fulfilled business owners living life to the fullest.

  • Jordan Dugger is a former opioid addict, turned 8-figure serial fitness entrepreneur, real estate + angel investor, and physique + human optimization nerd.

    Alongside his wife, Erin, they founded two 7-figure online coaching businesses that have generated more than $27m in total sales since 2018.

    Jordan’s journey to success has been nothing short of remarkable. He was born in a small town in rural Ohio, in a broken home that relied on government assistance to feed him and his two siblings.

    After overcoming a serious pain pill addiction and a long history of mental health battles,, he completely transformed himself first as a physique competitor and later as an online fitness coach.

    In 2018, he and his wife founded T4E Systems, an online functional health coaching company that generated over $3.5m and helped over 5,000 clients worldwide.

    Erin and Jordan later founded Impact Fitness Coaching Academy in 2018, which Helps Health and fitness Professionals Create Profitable, full-time Businesses in Service of Others.

    After the birth of their son Jaxson, they knew they needed to free up more time to spend with family, so they sold T4E Systems, making them one of the only online health coaching companies in the industry to exit successfully.

    IFCA has grown to be the biggest online business mentorship company for health, fitness, and nutrition coaches worldwide.

    After helping over 3,600 coaches, hiring over 50 team members, and generating over $27 million in revenue, he has learned something about building companies, particularly alongside his significant other.
