In this gripping episode of The Proven Entrepreneur Show, host Don Williams welcomes back a familiar voice—Vladimir Gendelman, founder of CompanyFolders.com. But this isn't just a business chat. It's a journey that begins in the gray, uniform streets of the Soviet Union and unfolds into the vibrant, unpredictable world of American entrepreneurship. Vladimir's story isn't just about building a company—it's about rediscovering identity, embracing freedom, and learning how to stand out in a world that once demanded conformity.As Vladimir recounts his early days in Ukraine, listeners are transported to a time when choices were few and individuality was suppressed. His move to the U.S. as a teenager brought culture shock wrapped in abundance—aisles of cheese, colorful clothing, and the freedom to express. But it wasn't just the variety that changed him—it was the realization that in America, you could build something entirely your own. That realization sparked the birth of CompanyFolders.com, a business born from a single customer request and a gap in the market no one else saw.The conversation takes a dramatic turn as Vladimir opens up about a near-fatal mistake—an SEO strategy that once catapulted his site to the top of Google, only to be penalized and buried when algorithms evolved. The fallout was brutal: traffic plummeted, bankruptcy loomed, and even weekend sushi outings with his daughter became luxuries. But what followed was a masterclass in resilience. With grit, humility, and a loyal team, Vladimir rebuilt his company from the ground up—this time, with integrity and a foundation that could weather any storm.Beyond business, this episode explores the human side of entrepreneurship. Vladimir shares his philosophy on authenticity, the power of making others feel seen, and the importance of listening with intent. His advice isn't just for entrepreneurs—it's for anyone who wants to lead with heart and leave a legacy that lasts. From co-authoring a book on gratitude with his wife Janet to mentoring future generations, Vladimir's story is a testament to the impact of kindness, courage, and connection.If you're looking for more than just business tips—if you crave a story that stirs your soul and sharpens your mind—this episode is for you. Tune in to discover how one man's journey from Soviet silence to entrepreneurial voice can inspire your own path to purpose. But be warned: once you start listening, you won't want to stop.Topics Discussed:Life in the Soviet Union vs. the U.S.The birth of CompanyFolders.comSEO mistakes and recovery strategiesEntrepreneurial resilience and authenticityThe power of gratitude and human connectionAdvice for future generations of entrepreneursEntities Mentioned:Vladimir Gendelman (Guest)Don Williams (Host)CompanyFolders.comGoogle (SEO algorithm updates)Janet Gendelman (Co-author in Gratitude Stories)Jeri Walla (Mutual friend from the UK)Book: Gratitude Stories from Our HeartsWhether you're a startup founder, digital marketer, or someone seeking inspiration from real-world entrepreneurial grit, this episode delivers valuable lessons wrapped in a heartfelt narrative.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by Jason Saltzman—entrepreneur, MIT REAP co-chair, global mentor, and founder of Relief. Rather than diving into his exits or startup strategies, Jason unpacks the power of the first hour of your day. He shares how small, intentional morning habits—like making your bed or walking your dog mindfully—can radically reshape your mindset, enhance productivity, and help you thrive amidst chaos. This conversation is a masterclass on grounding, presence, and the link between routine and resilience. If you're feeling overwhelmed, this episode will offer practical insights to regain control and move with purpose. About the Guest:Jason Saltzman is a seasoned entrepreneur with two successful exits, co-chair of MIT's REAP program, and a mentor for founders at Techstars and beyond. He blends hard-earned entrepreneurial experience with mindfulness, advocating for the power of small habits in managing anxiety, building resilience, and staying intentional in high-pressure environments. Key Takeaways: Mornings are your greatest opportunity to reset and reclaim focus. Mental clarity begins with micro-habits—like making your bed with presence. True resilience is built before adversity hits, through consistent intention-setting. Writing down goals, expressing gratitude, and grounding yourself daily creates mental armor.

On The Debbie Nigro Show, I had the pleasure of spotlighting Simon Cascante, founder of Montaukila Tequila. Boy oh boy his story sure is a shining example of one of my favorite sayings  - “Risk It! or Regret It!" Simon skipped college, started bussing tables at the Lobster Roll in East Hampton, and took the long road to launching his own spirit's brand. No investors. No celebrity endorsements. Just grit, Google, and a dream. That persistence led him to cold-call nearly a dozen distilleries in Mexico until one finally said yes—thanks to a VP who had once vacationed in Montauk and loved the concept. Now six years in, Montaukila is growing with a mobile cantina experience, premium celebrity-free tequila, and a hot new canned cocktail line. Simon's entrepreneurial focus? Staying authentic while scaling sustainably. And here's something I love: Montaukila is a locally owned, small-batch tequila company that believes in giving back. They donate 100% of their merchandise sales to Oceanic Global, an organization dedicated to ocean conservation. This is the kind of business spirit that deserves a toast. To me, Simon's story is a reminder that success is rarely a straight line—it's persistence, adaptability, and staying true to your vision. And a great entrprenurial business lesson in why you should never let a NO (or a string of No's) deter you on your way to a YES!   Cheers to that!  Enjoy listening to this short podcast of my live conversation with the very inspiring Simon Cascante on The Debbie Nigro Show. 

Today I'm joined by John Dearie — founder and president of the Center for American Entrepreneurship, a nonpartisan policy and advocacy organization in Washington, D.C.As the policy director at the Financial Services Forum, a CEO-led industry association, John had a front-row seat to the 2008 financial crisis. In the wake of that upheaval, he began to realize something critical: Washington's traditional stimulus playbook was no longer working. Policymakers were out of fresh ideas for how to spark real economic growth and job creation.That insight led him to a powerful revelation: entrepreneurship is the engine of the American economy — and it's profoundly misunderstood.In our conversation, John offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the economy really works — and what most people, including policymakers, get wrong about entrepreneurship. We explore the surprising data that changed his perspective, the policies that could unlock innovation, and why mindset — not capital — is the most important entrepreneurial resource.If you've ever wondered how everyday entrepreneurs can reshape our economy and our future — this episode is for you.
