Chance Claxton is a serial entrepreneur, a brand builder. Her most recent works involves  axial flux motors, known as pancake motors. They are lighter weight, lower cost, and highly efficient electric motors. Her company, Orbis Elecric, has been working with the VW Group and other automotive OEMs to put these motors inside wheels. They can be positioned in two rear wheels or in all four wheels for high torque and high horsepower applications.Orbis is working in several verticals: The motors are also being employed in the refrigeration systems in refrigerated trucks, driving down costs and boosting efficiency. Recently, Orbis Electric has promoted its motors for cooling systems in AI data centers. Chance explains that this is a booming market, there are lots of eyes it. Thus there is great interest and fundraising capabilities in deploying this type of innovation and efficiency in that energy-intensve vertical.Ted delves into Chance's diverse career, unearthing lessons learned in her path of entrepreneurialism. She began with a company designed to make Italian lines of furniture easily accessible, a company aptly called Design Within Reach.They developed an online catalog and then managed manufacturers in Italy to deliver the products.For 13 years, Chance was at the helm of U Konserve. That company was and still is about packaging to avoid food waste. With kids in school, she thought there must be a better solution than disposable ziplock bags. This career aligned with her sustainability values. U Konserve known  for reusable containers and food wraps. It ultimately sold to a bigger company, teaching her about scaling up, and knowing when to step aside. It's all about timing she said more than once.Another job taught her when to throw in the towel. With a business partner/inventor, she decided to make the ultimate mask to protect from Covid. They were manufactured it in China. She was just about to release just as the requirements for masks in America were lifted! She called that venture a swing and a miss... all back to timing. Remarkably, she and that inventor went on to develop automotive breaks. Orbis Brakes has the goal of disrupting the $30 billion brake industry. Orbis makes an inside-out form of disc brake, a ring with lots of ventilation. The motor fits right inside; the wheel encompasses the whole system. Chance explains how the brakes not only cut material costs, but also reduce nano-particulate pollution.Orbis Electric is focused on the motors and how to commercialize them. She describes the two test vehicles supplied b by Volkswagen to prototype the in-wheel motor system, one being an ID4 modified in California and then extensively track tested. Her company is working to develop alternative magnet materials, decreasing costs while increasing the sustainability of products. Chance discusses raising capital, a big piece of the equation. It's not easy being a self-funded company, constantly working to balance opportunities and resources. Thus the current data center focus. You have to go where the money is... matching that with areas of huge potential. She describes how one-third of world's electricity is wasted by inefficient motors and their operation. Many are not "smart motors," they are running all the time even when not needed.The conversation ends with more advice and reflection: Timing, staying in lane, defining your path, sticking with it, and radically shifting if need be. She discusses passion, a key ingredient in being resilient, so critical for entrepreneurial paths... perhaps more important than eduction and specialization. And passion need not be singular... it can be applied in lots of different ways at different times. You can't know it all, she implores, but there's so much you can learn by rolling up your sleeves.

Peace Through Business: How Women in Rwanda and Afghanistan Are Rebuilding Nations Through Entrepreneurship In this special episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I continue our series spotlighting Peace Through Business, a remarkable program empowering women entrepreneurs in Afghanistan, Rwanda, and beyond. The stories are profound, the impact undeniable, and the lessons universal: when women rise, entire nations begin to heal and prosper. As a corporate anthropologist and Blue Ocean Strategist, I want to remind us at the start: “When you invest in a woman entrepreneur, you invest in her family, her community, and her country's future.” This conversation brings together Monica Smiley, publisher of Enterprising Women Magazine; Chantal Munanayire, Peace Through Business Program Director for Rwanda, Uganda, Canada, and the UK; and Manisha Wafeq, who leads the Afghanistan initiative. Each share not only how the program works but how it transforms lives — economically, socially, and spiritually. Creating Peace Through Business When Enterprising Women Foundation assumed stewardship of Peace Through Business in 2024, it became the natural extension of its mission to empower women globally. Monica Smiley explains that Enterprising Women began 25 years ago as a publication to celebrate women entrepreneurs but soon evolved into a global movement. “About 12 years ago,” she recalls, “we launched the Enterprising Women Foundation to mentor girls in underserved communities across 30 U.S. cities. Then, by inheriting the Peace Through Business program, we broadened our mission — from helping American women entrepreneurs to supporting women rebuilding countries after conflict.” Originally founded by Dr. Terry Neese at the request of former First Lady Laura Bush, the Peace Through Business program provides an intensive education in entrepreneurship, leadership, and civic responsibility. It began in Afghanistan, where women were often excluded from public life, and expanded into Rwanda, a country rebuilding its social and economic fabric after the 1994 genocide. Monica remembers traveling to Rwanda in 2014 and again in 2018. “The transformation in just four years was stunning,” she says. “There were new hotels, a thriving convention center, and a new sense of hope. Women who once dreamed of a single business now run two or three. They are not waiting to be rescued — they are building the future themselves.” Chantal's Journey: From Survivor to Mentor Few embody that spirit more than Chantal Munanayire. A survivor of Rwanda's genocide, Chantal rebuilt her life — and her country — one business at a time. In 2009, she broke barriers by opening the first woman-owned car repair and paint shop in Kigali, the capital city. “When I began, I didn't even know what a business plan was,” she says with a laugh. “I was passionate but directionless. Through Peace Through Business, I learned to plan, to lead, and to see my company as separate from myself. That gave me freedom — and power.” Today, Chantal runs the program across several countries and has mentored hundreds of women. “The women who come to us are determined but often afraid,” she explains. “We teach them to turn that fear into focus. Once they succeed, they return to mentor others. That's how we build a sisterhood.” She shares stories of women who began as small vendors and now own supermarkets, or dairy farmers who built shopping centers. “When one woman thrives, she brings ten others along,” Chantal says. “That's how you build a country.” Education, Mentorship, and Advocacy Peace Through Business unfolds in three powerful stages: Education– Ten weeks of in-country classes covering marketing, finance, leadership, and business planning. Leadership Development– A cultural and professional exchange in the U.S., where top graduates attend the Enterprising Women Conference to meet mentors and global leaders. Pay It Forward– Graduates return home to mentor others, advocate for policy reform, and expand the reach of women in leadership. As Manisha Wafeq explains, “This is not a one-week seminar. It's a life-changing journey. Our women become educators, activists, and community builders. They learn that business is not only about profit — it's about peace. And after they graduate, they pay their knowledge forward to other women and join our alumni association.” A Call to Action: Supporting Women Who Change the World The episode closes with a powerful reflection from Monica and Andi: sustainable change requires participation. The program's impact depends on mentorship, funding, and global awareness. “This is a Blue Ocean in action,” says Andi Simon. “These women are not competing in crowded markets. They're creating new ones — new industries, new opportunities, new futures.” Monica adds, “We've given the Enterprising Women of the Year award to one Afghan and one Rwandan woman annually for nearly two decades. Seeing them stand on stage in front of hundreds of cheering peers brings me to tears every time. But we need more hands and hearts to keep the program thriving.” Every contribution — financial or personal — helps sustain the work. Donations go directly to scholarships, training, and travel for participants. Mentors provide guidance and connection, bridging continents through compassion and shared purpose. To learn more or contribute, visit EnterprisingWomenFoundation.org. Why These Stories Matter For Andi Simon, this episode isn't just another interview — it's a reflection of what anthropology teaches us about change: that transformation begins when people reimagine what's possible. “Change happens,” Andi concludes, “when we stop waiting for permission and start creating possibilities. These women are doing exactly that. They're rewriting the story of what it means to lead, to heal, and to build peace through business.” Listen in to our YouTube Video:

You sit at your laptop. The email draft to a potential client is open. The cursor blinks. But you freeze. You tell yourself you'll come back to it later. But “later” keeps turning into someday, maybe, never. That's not procrastination. That's success avoidance. In this week's episode of Breadwinning Business Women, I'm breaking down how fear, doubt, and discomfort quietly sabotage your next level and how to stop letting emotions block your income. You'll walk away knowing exactly how to build your emotional edge—the skill that separates stuck entrepreneurs from those who scale. Here's what we're getting into:

Most people think debt is bad. But what if debt could actually make you rich?

There's scaling advice, and then there's feminist scaling advice. And here's the truth: these two things are actually quite different.   If you've ever received business advice that felt off, like it wasn't accounting for your full experience as a woman leader, there's a reason for that. In this week's episode, Eleanor is pulling back the curtain on why traditional scaling advice often falls short for women entrepreneurs, and what we really need to consider when building scalable businesses.   Listen in this week to learn why gender matters deeply in scaling advice. As someone who has mentored over 750 women leaders, Eleanor has seen firsthand how transformative the right kind of scaling advice can be. If you're ready to scale without sacrificing yourself in the process, this episode is for you.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO70

What if the way you've been taught to plan your year is actually setting you up to fail? That's exactly what we're diving into with Megan Sumrell, a time management and productivity expert who helps women entrepreneurs create schedules and plans that actually work. After more than 20 years in IT and project management, Megan realized traditional planning systems built on masculine structures don't account for women's realities: biological cycles, caregiving responsibilities, and unpredictable schedules.  She developed a new framework designed specifically for women entrepreneurs, so you can finally set goals and stick with them without burning out. In this episode, Megan and I explore why conventional annual planning fails, how to shift your mindset so your plans feel achievable, and the exact steps you can take to design a realistic roadmap for your year ahead. If you've been avoiding annual planning because it feels overwhelming, or your goals never survive past March, you'll want to press play on this conversation. ⏱️ Episode Timeline [2:32] – Why annual planning can feel overwhelming (and why so many women avoid it). [3:09] – Megan's backstory: from IT project management to time management for women. [7:08] – The biological and mental load differences that affect planning. [13:26] – Why “planning in a vacuum” leads to failure. [18:39] – How to create appropriately scaled plans that match your season of life.

Buckle up, y'all, because we're getting into one of the most critical (and most avoided!) topics in private practice ownership … paying yourself an actual salary.I'm talking with the brilliant Carla Titus, a fractional CFO who helps mental health group practices and healthcare providers get financially healthy. Carla works with everyone from solo practitioners to seven-figure practices, and she's the kind of person who speaks truth to us in a way that we need to hear it. :)Because here's the thing … You're not running a charity. You're running a business. And CEOs don't work for free – so why should you?In this episode, you'll learn:What's really going on when you don't pay yourself a salary. (Hint: it's not because you don't have the cash.)When debt could be a GOOD thing.

How often do you put yourself first, truly first, when it comes to how you prioritise your time each day? If you're anything like me, your mind is probably racing with to-do lists, business goals, kids' schedules and everything else in life that “has to” be done. But what if giving yourself just a few intentional minutes - thirty, fifteen, or even five - your whole approach to business and life can be dramatically different? This week, I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome Lesley Logan to the show. Lesley is the founder of onlinepilatesclasses.com, a platform packed with bite-sized Pilates sessions. She's made it her mission to help women, especially those of us used to running on overdrive, truly embrace what it means to prioritise ourselves. She's not just about fitness routines; Lesley is an advocate for dropping perfection, creating real habits, and making YOU the centre of your schedule (not just your business). Here's what we uncovered together: Why is it so tough for high-achieving women to step away from “busy” and actually prioritise fun, rest, and simple self-care? What does it look like to design a business- and a life - that actually lights you up (instead of burning you out)? How do you know what really fills your cup… and how do you start making time for those things, even if you've never done it before? What are some practical, zero-fuss ways to start putting yourself higher on your priority list - even if you think you don't have a spare minute? And why making these changes isn't just about you - it's actually the key to showing up as the best version of yourself for your loved ones and your business. Whether you think you don't have time, or you're just craving permission to try something different, you'll appreciate Lesley's refreshingly honest, practical take on what success really looks like! I guarantee you'll feel more motivated and inspired to carve out a bit of space for yourself after listening to this episode. Ready? Hit play and let's begin.

What does it feel like to finally stop overworking, over-explaining, and over-proving—and instead lead from a place of grounded confidence? In this episode, Kris shows us what life and leadership look like when self-trust and self-worth are fully integrated. She shares the story of a client who went from being minimized by her partners to running a thriving $10M company while taking a guilt-free month away from her business. This transformation illustrates the power of moving beyond surface-level fixes to address the root issue: believing yourself and believing in yourself.

This is the Sage Era—where your wisdom serves not just you, but those you lead and influence. Here's what we explore in this episode:  Why releasing your business as your identity opens up freedom and clarity  How guilt, self-doubt, and over-functioning fade once trust and worth align  The role of inner authority in creating decisions rooted in self-belief  What it means to model Sage leadership for the women who come after you  This conversation is an invitation into the Sage Era—where your wisdom, value, and authority aren't up for debate.

You've outgrown the version of you who needed to make her pricing palatable.   If your numbers still reflect who you used to be—no wonder they feel off.   In this episode of The Money Coach School, we're cutting ties with outdated pricing patterns and rewriting your rates to match the woman you've become.   You'll discover how to spot when you're still quoting numbers from an outdated version of yourself, and what it takes to set prices that hold without explaining or softening.   Because your price isn't just a number. It's a line in the sand. It's power. It's clarity. It's a declaration of who you are — and who you refuse to be anymore.   In this episode, I talk about:   Why pricing isn't just about dollars - it's an energetic expression of your self-concept.   How to know when your rates are clinging to an old identity (and how to catch up fast).   Why emotionally clear pricing creates confidence and attracts aligned clients.   4 steps to shift from pricing from fear to pricing from leadership.   Why holding your standard is the real challenge - and the real key to financial authority.   3 coaching questions that anchor your rates in power.   ~~   For full show notes, transcript, and to grab Kendall's free pricing guide, click here: www.themoneycoachschoolpodcast.com/106

From aspiring fine artist to co-founding a groundbreaking media company and advising Fortune 500s, Cynthia Nelson's journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and relentless curiosity. With more than 25 years leading at the intersection of capital, innovation, and culture, Cynthia has proven herself a powerhouse in entrepreneurship and growth strategy.Her story begins in the unlikeliest of places: a receptionist desk at a computer repair shop in the mid-80s. From there, she witnessed the tech industry's birth, climbed the ranks at Ingram Micro, and navigated the turbulence of early startups, including a devastating betrayal by a business partner. But rather than stepping back, she leaned into every challenge, becoming one of the few Latina women to raise $15 million in private equity and ultimately selling her company Todobebé after a decade of pioneering media, parenting content, and cultural storytelling.Cynthia shares the pivotal lessons that fueled her success, from the importance of listening deeply to your customers, to the courage of saying “yes” to unfamiliar challenges, to the discipline of surrounding yourself with advisors who tell you the hard truths. She reminds us that entrepreneurship is not just about scaling fast, but about staying grounded in what people actually need, not just what founders imagine.Her reflections stretch beyond business into the deeper realities of being a woman in leadership: the sacrifices, the biases, and the double standards that continue to shape the funding landscape. Yet Cynthia's approach is one of fierce generosity, mentoring other women, championing female investors, and encouraging founders to build smarter, more sustainable businesses.This is a story of grit, creativity, and impact, and a masterclass in building with purpose. Tune in to hear Cynthia Nelson's remarkable journey and her wisdom for the next generation of women entrepreneurs.Chapters
