Italian by birth and cosmopolitan by vocation, Angela is the one-of-a-kind Dolce VITA Lifestyle Designer for elite entrepreneurs, executives, and experts.  Working privately with a select group of ultra-high performers and global leaders, she has pioneered the Four Pillars of Dolce Vita life mastery model, her Mediterranean-infused methodology that ascends today's highflyers to unprecedented levels of success while living the sweet life.  Over the past decade, Angela has seen her signature framework optimize the personal and professional lives of those in the top tier of their industry, holding space for their biggest dreams and most expansive visions. Through her bespoke best-life blueprint, a transformational implementation of daily business and personal routines and habits falls effortlessly into place. It is a level of life alignment and comprehensive success that is born of Angela's unique perspective as a world traveler with a passion for the arts and music – as a tango dancer, and life enthusiast, living in Northern Italy. The world's sweet spot, where creativity, productivity, and Dolce Vita naturally collide. Humanistic by nature, Angela's love for people initially led her to 20+ years in HR and Organizational Development. It was reaching the pinnacle in corporate that helped Angela realize surface-level success is not sustainable. That her life, relationships, family, and passions needed to be nurtured. “Discipline is freedom!” This is her mantra. The pathway to thriving while living a meaningful life. A “disciplined rebel” – behind Angela's high achiever mentality beats the maverick heart of one who has always lived according to her own rules.  If Angela were a movie, she would be a remix of “Breakfast at Tiffany” AND “Easy Rider”: as she perfectly integrates and embodies the two opposites. Her style has a sophisticated, yet casual elegance; and her knowledge feeds her unassuming power. Angela believes that even those who have achieved what others have defined for them as the highest levels of success deserve to truly, deeply, love – and live – their one life to its fullest.  https://angelasanti.it/ (https://angelasanti.it/) https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelasanti/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelasanti/)

Dawn is an executive leadership coach who spent over 25 years in large manufacturing organizations. Starting her career as an engineer, she transitioned to human resources after 10 years where she discovered her passion for developing people. After leaving her last corporate role as a vice president of HR, she began coaching leaders in Fortune 50 corporations to start-ups. In 2017, she joined forces with two colleagues that she met at the Hudson Institute of Coaching, and co-founded BenchStrength Coaching. Their focus is to help companies improve their talent pipeline and make coaching accessible to leaders beyond the C-suite.

Laura and Taly are a dynamic duo of Product Managers but with completely different backgrounds that allows each of them to bring different strengths to building Blink Date. They met on Instagram and a few years later found themselves building a startup together.   Blink Date is flipping the script for dating by providing an audio-only blind speed dating app. They want to give people a chance to focus on what truly matters when looking for a life partner: compatibility, character, values, communication, and conversation. They are on a mission to eliminate bias on the basis of appearances, including on the basis of race, ethnicity, and gender.  The idea for Blink came when Taly had an amazing experience at a blackout restaurant. In 2020, Taly began turning her vision into reality and hopes to change online dating's looks-first paradigm. They plan on taking this concept beyond the dating world.  Website: https://www.theblinkdate.com (www.theblinkdate.com) -- CONNECT WITH THE WILD FEATHER -- Website: https://www.thewildfeatherpodcast.com/ (https://www.thewildfeatherpodcast.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewildfeatherpodcast (https://www.instagram.com/thewildfeatherpodcast) Twitter: https://twitter.com/thewildfeather_ (https://twitter.com/thewildfeather_) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewildfeatherpodcast (https://www.facebook.com/thewildfeatherpodcast) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewildfeatherpodcast (https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewildfeatherpodcast)

About https://www.lovemasami.com/ (MASAMI): Our story began with the belief that you don't need to trade off clean beauty for haircare that performs. We found our answer from the rich seas of northeastern Japan, where the three waters of the world embrace, and nature in all her beauty and diversity flourishes. Here in the majestic fields of green, swaying Wakame seaweed, nature has seen fit to gift us one of her great, nutrient-rich treasures. A small, miraculous ocean botanical known as Mekabu. Harvested for centuries by Japanese farmers for its health-giving properties, this marine miracle inspired MASAMI. For the ultimate in botanically hydrated hair. MASAMI's clean formulations give your hair massive levels of botanical hydration without weighing it down. MASAMI is formulated with our wonder ocean botanical, Mekabu, and other “good-for-you” ingredients such as japonica laminaria, blueberry extract, aloe & grapeseed oil. And, importantly, nothing bad: No phthalates, sulfates or parabens. MASAMI is high performing and luxurious feeling and works for every hair type. Always vegan & cruelty free. -- CONNECT WITH THE WILD FEATHER -- Website: https://www.thewildfeatherpodcast.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewildfeatherpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/thewildfeather_ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewildfeatherpodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewildfeatherpodcast

Basically, buying a house sucks — you're dragged through an opaque process, uneducated and confused, by an agent you don't even know if you can trust. DwellWell aims to solve this problem by building a platform that educates homebuyers on what they need to know before connecting them with an agent. Based on your needs we can connect you to the best agents in your area and you can meet with them as an equal. Agents on the DwellWell platform can now speed up their lead-to-close ratio by working with high-intent buyers, and reduce the burden of being the sole educator in the process. With DwellWell, agents can get back to the work of actually closing deals.

Stephanie Sarka, Founder & CEO of https://1atelier.com/ (1 Atelier), is a seasoned entrepreneur with deep experience in building businesses and brands. Graduating from Stanford, she worked in M&A at Goldman Sachs, followed by a year running marketing for International Flavors & Fragrances in Paris. After getting her MBA at Harvard Business School, she worked for Lew Frankfort at Coach for seven years, where she earned her stripes as a “merchant” and an “operator” and held numerous leadership positions including the successful re-launch of Mark Cross, the American luxury goods brand. Stephanie then co-founded http://goto.com/ (GoTo.com) in 1998 (later Overture), one of the first hugely successful Internet companies, where they invented the “Paid Search” business model that today powers Google, taking the company public one year after launch and growing it to ~$1 billion in revenue in four years before selling it to Yahoo for $1.6 billion in 2003. A serial entrepreneur and start-up investor, Stephanie is most recently the co-founder and CEO of 1 Atelier, the transformational direct-to-consumer custom luxury brand that celebrates originality and is bringing the joy and fun back into luxury. Clients design their one-of-a-kind bags at http://1atelier.com/ (1Atelier.com); each product is then meticulously handcrafted from the finest leathers at their NYC Atelier and delivered within 21 days.  As the only natively custom luxury brand, 1 Atelier is also the only inherently sustainable luxury brand. Raw materials are brought in just-in-time and production is done on-demand. This eliminates over-production which is the major source of the 13 million tons of waste generated annually by the fashion industry. Given their unique custom production platform and their proprietary customization technology, 1 Atelier is on course to up-end the luxury goods industry.  -- CONNECT WITH THE WILD FEATHER -- Website: https://www.thewildfeatherpodcast.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewildfeatherpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/thewildfeather_ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewildfeatherpodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewildfeatherpodcast
