RINA ROVINELLI 

Rina Rovinelli is an award-winning Speaking and Personal Brand Coach and the co-founder of Speaker Slam, a speaker development agency best known for producing North America’s most prominent inspirational speaking competition. Over the past decade, Rina has helped thousands of speakers find their voice, build powerful personal brands, and get booked and paid to speak. But Rina’s own entrepreneurial journey has been anything but conventional. She built her career by taking chances, following big ideas before there was a roadmap, and saying yes long before she knew exactly how she was going to pull it off. Today, she helps people recognize that the biggest opportunities in life rarely arrive when we feel completely ready. Her philosophy is simple: Stop waiting to live. Take risks. Do bold sh*t today.

ANTONI TZAVELAS

Antoni Tzavelas builds AI that does the work you keep doing by hand, so your business runs while you're out for coffee. He is the founder of Smiling Bowtie. He builds apps for service-based founders and operators who care about more than shipping features, designing for the human experience first and letting the technical architecture follow. His edge is 25 years across fashion design, cloud engineering, DevOps, Agile coaching, and emotional intelligence practice. Every layer shows up in what he builds. He doesn't guess at how users will feel. He's spent a career learning how people behave, decide, and trust, and now builds that into every product he ships. Most people use AI to add. Antoni uses it to subtract. He finds the repetitive manual work quietly burying a business and deletes it. 25+ apps built. Every one designed for the human before the feature.

GINNY SANTOS

Ginny Santos is a NeuroPerformance coach who helps founders, leaders, and executives think clearly during the day and sleep soundly at night. After 25+ years designing and facilitating sessions for teams, from small mission-driven organizations to the Pentagon, she kept seeing the same quiet crisis up close: brilliant people running on empty, foggy, wired, and not sleeping. So she went deeper than talk. Ginny now coaches leaders one on one using neurofeedback, actual brain training, paired with the lifestyle habits that make the change stick. Her clients arrive exhausted and leave thinking clearly, sleeping deeply, and feeling like themselves again. A mother of four teenagers and a former social-justice activist, she believes that learning to care for our brains is one of the most important things most of us are still missing. Ginny is based in Toronto and works with clients across Canada.

TONY ALBRECHT

Tony's path is largely defined by recovery from two things: alcoholism and lawyering. He had his last drink in 2010, a year after graduating from law school. Tony walked away from the practice of law in 2021 on the verge of making partner with an insurance defense firm in his hometown of St. Louis, MO. After leaving the practice, he gained traction as a creator on LinkedIn in 2022 and saw an opportunity to help other people share their messages in ways that can resonate. Tony's now building CONTENDER, a personal branding and LinkedIn ghostwriting agency building magnetic Online Presences for mission-driven lawyers and leaders. He lives in Muskoka with his wife and their two kids. When he's not hanging out online, Tony goes for long runs and drinks too much coffee.

KAREN CHOI

Karen supports people with a moment to breathe, reset, and truly connect. She's a classically trained musician, coach practitioner, and creative facilitator. She uses movement, breath, and sound to guide people out of their heads and into the moment. She's witnessed how simple human practices can sync a room full of strangers. And learned to hold space where people can drop their guard and show up authentically. The goal? To help the humans in the room fully absorb the value you've worked so hard to create with your event. When people are present, they're more receptive to your content, more engaged with each other, and more likely to carry insights forward.

TOM HARMAN

Tom Harman teaches founders and sales teams how to turn LinkedIn DMs into real conversations, and real conversations into clients. He learned it the hard way. Tom spent almost three years writing over 800 LinkedIn posts by hand. They racked up likes and followers, booked almost no meetings and closed zero deals, because he was chasing impressions instead of pipeline. So he went straight to the inbox. Since then he's sent more than 21,000 DMs, holds a lifetime reply rate north of 50%, and every client he's signed started with a DM. Now he helps people solve the three problems he hears about most: who to message, what to say, and how to move from a personal conversation to a business one. A year ago, Tom couldn't afford a Do Bold Sh*t ticket. This year, he's on the stage. He lives in Kitchener, Ontario with his wife and son, and still hates the 401.
