Ken Ehrman is the founder and CEO of Halo Collar, the leading GPS dog containment system that's revolutionizing pet safety. With a background in IoT and a history of building tech companies—including taking one public in 1999—Ken teamed up with celebrity dog behaviorist Cesar Millan to create a next-generation “invisible fence.” Since launching in 2018, Halo has quadrupled sales, surpassed $100 million in annual revenue, and sold over 200,000 collars, all while giving pet owners the freedom to create a “backyard everywhere they go.” On this episode we talk about: Ken's entrepreneurial journey from yearbook ad sales to founding and scaling multiple tech companies The early days of IoT, RFID, and what it was like to take a company public with just $3 million in annual revenue How the idea for Halo Collar was sparked by a real family tragedy—and why the market was ready for a better solution The power of partnerships: how Ken connected with Cesar Millan to bring dog expertise and credibility to the product Why Halo's GPS-powered, AI-enabled collar is more than a tracker—it's a portable, wireless fence you can set up anywhere The business lessons behind Halo's exponential growth: leveraging existing demand, innovating on proven products, and solving real pain points for pet owners Smart scaling: how Halo used a direct-to-consumer model, negative inventory, and global fulfillment to fuel rapid expansion The importance of product-market fit, recurring revenue, and building a brand that dog owners trust Ken's framework for evaluating new business ideas and the difference between “nice-to-have” and “need-to-have” products Top 3 Takeaways Innovate Where Demand Exists: Halo succeeded by improving an existing solution (the invisible fence) in a massive, established market, rather than trying to create demand from scratch. Solve Real Problems, Not Just Sell Features: The best products address urgent needs—like keeping pets safe—rather than relying on “nice-to-have” technology. Smart Partnerships and Operations Win: Strategic alliances (like with Cesar Millan), creative fulfillment, and a focus on customer experience enabled Halo to scale quickly and efficiently. Notable Quotes “What's the best solution that there could be? That's always my mindset, whether I'm selling yearbook ads or building a tech company.” “People are already buying fences for their dogs. We just made it portable, smarter, and safer.” “If you can find things people are already buying, you're not pushing a boulder uphill—you're meeting a real need.” Connect with Ken Ehrman: Website: halocollar.com

"Travel isn't meant to be easy—it's meant to be worth it." These words could easily be the mantra of Cory Lee, an extraordinary traveler who has visited 52 countries and all seven continents while navigating the world in a power wheelchair. In this intimate conversation recorded at the 2025 Abilities Expo in Chicago, Cory shares his remarkable journey with spinal muscular atrophy and how it became his motivation rather than limitation.When Cory launched his blog "Curb Free with Cory Lee" in 2013, accessible travel resources were virtually non-existent online. What began as a modest attempt to fill this gap has evolved into a movement reshaping how the travel industry approaches accessibility. From humble beginnings where attraction passes felt like golden tickets to now being paid by destinations worldwide to showcase their accessibility features, Cory's trajectory mirrors the growing recognition of travelers with disabilities as a vital market segment.The conversation takes us through the very real challenges of wheelchair travel—particularly the anxiety-inducing experience of air travel, where the fear of wheelchair damage looms large with every flight. Yet despite these obstacles, Cory's adventures span from feeding elephants in Thailand to receiving traditional tattoos from monks by riverside temples. His children's book series featuring "CorCor," a wheelchair-using explorer, is educating the next generation about both the possibilities and practicalities of accessible travel. Whether you're a wheelchair user seeking travel inspiration or simply someone who believes in exploring beyond perceived limitations, this conversation will transform how you view travel, accessibility, and human potential.Ready to see the world from a new perspective?

Birthdays have a way of stirring reflection. In this tender, honest episode, I share what I'm choosing to take with me into this next chapter—and what I'm finally ready to leave behind. It's not about reinventing myself, but about realigning with who I truly am.I'm taking grace, gratitude, stillness, authenticity, empowerment, and a soul-aligned hustle that honors my values. I'm leaving behind fear, surface-level conversations, comparison, and the constant pull to live in the future. I'm learning that growth isn't always about adding more—but about letting go of what no longer fits.This is an invitation to do the same. Take what you need. Leave what you don't. And step forward lighter, clearer, and more at home in yourself than ever before.

In today's episode, I share my personal experience with stem cell therapy—and the unexpected lessons that came from being forced to slow down. Whether you're choosing a procedure like stem cell therapy or suddenly dealing with an injury or illness, time off from your normal routine isn't just inconvenient — it's a major mental and physical shift. But it doesn't have to be a setback.  In this episode, I unpack the power of reframing your downtime with three key focus areas: Mindset,  Movement, and  Meaningful redirection.   Why I opted for Stem Cell Therapy Knee inflammation.  As a medical exercise specialist and a strength & conditioning coach, if we have a knee issue, the first places to look are the hip mobility, glute strength and hamstring strength. I chose to do a stem cell therapy NOW before the degeneration of the tissues got worse. Nothing you do with soft tissue will help your hard tissue or bone structure regenerate. If there's an opportunity to regenerate, it occurs when you're healthiest, not when more damage is done.   MINDSET Detaching identity from physically active and physically capable Dealing with “rest guilt” “You will regret doing too much. You won't regret doing less.” Flipping frustration into self-awareness What I did: travel to a baby shower  Accept the pace change without resentment.   MOVEMENT Moving smarter not harder. Do what I am able to do (core activation) and how I modified it with no pressure on the knees (e.g. stretching, swimming with a pool buoy, etc). “Some” movement matters more than “perfect” movement. It's better to be undertrained than overtrained.   MEANINGFUL REDIRECTION (or Focus Shift) Using the extra time for non-physical growth (sleep, reading a book, collecting recipes, etc.) Business planning, learning, and creative projects. The power of journaling during healing. Making your mandatory time off count long-term.   The Power of Pause - The Lesson Learned from My Stem Cell Therapy   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Bladder Issues in Menopause - The Hidden Bacteria You Need to Know Next Episode - Essential Oils for Menopause Hormones | Essential How-to for Essential Oils More Like This - Better Strength and Metabolism in Midlife Through More Rest and Recovery   Resources:  Get your lean, clean Flipping 50 Protein Powders to maintain muscle and support metabolism.
