Jeremy Delk is a serial entrepreneur with a passion for disrupting industries. Since 2001, his businesses have earned hundreds of millions in revenue, created hundreds of high paying American jobs, as well as other notable distinctions. Jeremy is also a bestselling author and popular public speaker.  He jumped into entrepreneurial ventures with the naivety of a child and the tenacity of a tycoon. He started day trading at the age of sixteen, learning and failing with each trade. It is this process of adapting through failures that is paramount to his success in business.  His knowledge and skill as a day trader helped him land a job as one of the youngest brokers at Fidelity trading institutional equities in Boston, and later in New York. It didn’t fulfill the entrepreneurial spark within him, so he decided to go out on his own creating Delk Enterprises.  Delk Enterprises has grown from making $6,000 in its first year in business to a diversified VC fund that has built and exited investments in both private and public transactions. Today, more than 20 years later, Delk Enterprises has holdings in biotech & healthcare, consumer brands, technology, building materials, and real estate development.  Jeremy now focuses on investing in and advising entrepreneurs through speaking. His upcoming book shares his reality of the Good, Bad, and UGLY of entrepreneurship. It serves as a not-so-subtle reminder of fundamental principles he’s learned through his journey: while great times don’t last forever, neither do the truly bad ones. Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujaggarwal/ ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realmanuj■ Instagram: ...

After concluding a prolific professional cycling career that produced a medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games, eight US national championships, two Pan American gold medals and a world record, Dotsie Bausch has become a powerful influencer for plant-based eating for athletes and non-athletes alike. Named by VegNews in 2019 as one of the top 20 most influential vegans in the world, she utilizes her degree in plant-based nutrition to inform her impassioned messages as an advocate on behalf of humans, planet earth and animals.  Never one to shy away from facing staggering odds – just like she did in the Olympics while riding for Team USA, whose unlikely and triumphant story is chronicled in the Netflix documentary “Personal Gold” – her latest initiative is founding the non-profit Switch4Good. Switch4Good launched in early 2018 with a television commercial featuring six Olympians from four different countries and proves that cow’s milk is not part of a high-performance diet. The ground-breaking commercial aired on NBC during the 2018 Winter Olympic Games closing ceremonies and on ABC during the Academy Awards broadcast.  Bausch is also one of the stars of the film The Game Changers, which chronicles the story of the world’s most dangerous myth. Directed by Academy Award winner Louie Psihoyos and executive produced by Oscar winner James Cameron, The Game Changers was released to worldwide audiences in October of 2019 and in just one week, became the #1 downloaded film of all time on iTunes.  Long before embodying radiant health and becoming an influential game changer, Bausch struggled for years with severe eating disorders and a recreational drug habit, that combined, led to a suicide attempt. It was during her recovery that she discovered her gift and love for the bike. Bausch speaks passionately around the world, spreading her message about the numerous benefits – humane, nutritional and environmental – of plant-based eating. Her popular TEDx Talk, “Olympic Level Compassion,” has garnered over 275,000 views and has been a catalyst of change for thousands of people.Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujaggarwal/ ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realmanuj■ Instagram: ...

Welcome to our podcast featuring an executive coach who has a passion for both coaching executives in the boardroom and coaching kids on the soccer or football field at night. Our guest's journey to becoming an executive coach began with a love for football and a desire to become a football coach.

Apple is actually going to start its own ads platform, and they are going to start showing ads to Apple product users. So Apple obviously has become a huge powerhouse when it comes to gaining the attention of people. Now, the thing is that last year, Apple made a change in their policy they stopped sharing detailed information about consumers, with companies like Facebook and Snapchat, and other social media platforms. So what that did was it sort of limited the ability of these social media platforms to show contextual ads to the consumer. But now it is becoming clear why Apple did that because they actually wanted to cut off that data stream to the partners like Facebook and others as I mentioned, but on the flip side, they wanted to use that to their own advantage.Now, it remains to be seen how the industry is going to react to this.Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujaggarwal/ ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realmanuj■ Instagram: ...

Conversational AI is taking over the world. And what that means is that companies can scale their call centres, their customer service departments to a massive scale without hiring a lot of customer service representatives. Not only that, but they can standardise and really personalise the conversations based on what the consumer is looking for. This not only provides readily available customer service to the clients, so the wait times go lower, but it also provides exactly the solution that people are looking for.Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujaggarwal/ ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realmanuj■ Instagram: ...

First of all conversational AI is here to stay. AI is getting better at everything. As the technology is maturing, we are able to, you know, create more and more powerful algorithms as we are collecting more data and understanding the world better. The idea behind this is conversational AI is becoming so good that it is practically indistinguishable from a real human. And even when you start talking to a chatbot, or an AI system, it is smart enough to know its own boundaries, so it can actually start to interact with the consumer, it can actually start to answer those questions. And then at some point, if the consumer asks a question that the system the AI system is not able to answer, it is smart enough to seamlessly transfer it over to a human being.Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujaggarwal/ ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realmanuj■ Instagram: ...
