Craig J. Stadler, founder of peteyvid.com, a (relatively) new video search engine that searches 70+ platforms outside YouTube. Additionally, it is privacy focused (does not collect or sell user data). In late 2018, we noticed the video search landscape had all but collapsed! So many video search engines had closed down, or mainly featured selective content. However, the more we researched the Internet, the more video sources we found, so we felt it was time to give users what they wanted- private, diverse & unbiased video search. Additionally, we feel that privacy should always be a right to the end user so we created the first video search engine that does not save or sell user information. Petey can provide a different experience that's unique, diverse, and extensive.

Brian and Gabrielle Bosché have spent the majority of the last decade helping people find their purpose, and developing millennial engagement strategies for presidential campaigns, top military generals, and Fortune 500 companies. The Purpose Factor is the clearest, most actionable process ever developed for discovering purpose—period. YOU WANT CLARITY. You are tired of wondering, “What’s next?” You want to know if you are making the right decision. You are ready for fewer distractions, more direction, and a clear idea of where you want to go. AND YOU WANT IT NOW. You would take the initiative, if you only knew what steps to take. You don’t want life to happen to you. You are ready for life to start happening because of you. PURPOSE IS THE FACTOR. In The Purpose Factor, you will discover the most practical and effective process ever developed for finding and living out your purpose. Purpose is the single difference between simply existing and really living. It is what separates the successful from the standard, divides the top earners from the just-get-byers, and determines whether a company will grow and thrive or just barely survive. Your purpose will unlock the secret to living a meaningful life, building a successful career, and making a difference in the world. Knowing your purpose will determine how well you do and how far you go. www.purposecompany.co

Pet Plate was the brainchild of MIT grad in physics, Renaldo Webb. Working as a consultant in the pet food industry, Renaldo was shocked to learn how the kibble that he was feeding his beloved dog, Winston, was made. He made it his mission to find a way to provide better quality food to pet owners and worked with a leading veterinary nutritionist to formulate complete and balanced meals for pets at all stages of life. He combined this superior product with home delivery and Pet Plate was born! In 2016 he took this idea to Shark Tank, and even though he did not walk away with a deal, he forged ahead and grew the company from approximately 100 customers in New York City into a national brand that has served more than 10 million meals to over 300 breeds in 48 states and Washington D.C.! www.petplate.com
