Wandia Chiuri is in the business of turning a leader's authority into measurable business results. She is the CEO and founder of Reactionpower, where she works with executives at the highest levels of corporate America. She has spent more than two decades at the intersection of AI, leadership, and strategy, taking her from Medtronic to Eli Lilly to Google, Samsung, and Johnson & Johnson, with a company she built and sold along the way.

What she discovered at those companies drove why she built her business. Audiences had become blind to ads. Great products were going undiscovered. And she noticed that when a leader spoke, something measurable happened: products would sell, customers would get inspired, leads converted into sales. A leader's authority was outperforming advertising by 10x. So she focused her new company Reactionpower on executives.

In this conversation, Wandia and Sarah get into the failure that taught her the power of a brand, and what stays irreplaceably human as AI reshapes leadership. Wandia shares the story of selling her first company with $1.39 in her bank account, watching the buyer resell it within three months for close to 40 times what she was paid, and spending the next 10 years learning exactly why. She talks about her mother, who came of age during the state of emergency in Kenya and still built a life of adventure, optimism, and service at scale.

Two friends and fellow Entrepreneurs Organization members, talk about what it takes to build authority, trust, and a life that is authentically yours. Recorded live on LinkedIn.

Elizabeth Garvish is the founder of Garvish Immigration Law Group, an all-female firm named one of the fastest-growing in the country five consecutive years, with a specialty in medical immigration and a place among the nation's leading immigration lawyers. She is on a mission to run the happiest law firm in America.

She is the granddaughter of Hungarian immigrants who fell in love with the language and culture of America. She turned that love into a calling, helping people and companies build their lives and futures in the United States.

Along the way, she trademarked a way of working she calls “Practicing Law with Love”, built on one conviction she has tested over and over: your energy and what you believe creates your reality, in the courtroom and in your life. In this conversation, she shares the formula her firm now runs on: Know the law, recite the facts, expect miracles, and the cases where it looked like the client would lose, to them holding their green card. She opens up about the day she walked away from the big law partner track after a review that tried to stereotype her as too flashy, too loud, doesn’t fit in, even though she’d brought in huge books of business. Why happiness comes down to two things. How she built a life she loves while raising four kids and moving her family to Spain. And the time a doctor told her that her last two embryos were damaged and gave them just a thirty percent chance, despite that, she calmly decided that she was not going to believe him. Her twin girls just turned three.

If you know you are meant for more, this one is for you.

What happens when an entrepreneur who helped build the e-commerce internet, bets his entire next company on the one thing everyone else is racing to automate away?

Brent Peterson, founder, host of the Talk Commerce podcast, and the endurance athlete behind 34 marathons and an Ironman, taught himself software, went all in on building his company Magento in 2009, and grew it with his wife Susan, into a globally recognized agency before selling in 2021. Then, instead of coasting on a beach in Hawaii, he made a contrarian bet: that humans belong at the center of content creation, right as the rest of the world handed it all to AI.

In this episode, Brent gets refreshingly honest about the chapter few entrepreneurs want to talk about, what it feels like to sell your company and then work for someone else. He shares how he once ran a lifestyle business for four hours a day, and why he is convinced that AI will not replace you. He now builds human-led content with a simple rule: a human reads it; before a human reads it. Plus the daily streak he has kept alive for more than 1,500 days, and what it taught him about building anything for the long term.
