Recognizing this gap, I envisioned a consultancy that not only demystifies the complexities of IP law but also offers cost-effective solutions tailored to the unique needs of each client.

Interview with Jennifer Hensley, Founder of Playmaker Coaching and Consulting LLC
The idea for Playmaker Coaching and Consulting came from a recurring pattern I noticed over my 20 years in the corporate world, working with hundreds of small business owners. Many had access to incredible tools and resources—but didn’t know they existed, when to use them, or how to apply them effectively in their business. What they needed wasn’t more theory; they needed a playbook—and a trusted teammate to help them execute it.

An Interview with Angie Holzer, CEO & Founder of WikiCharities
The idea for WikiCharities came directly from my doctoral research, where I studied the challenges nonprofits face when trying to collaborate. I found that lack of trust, competition for funding, and not knowing who else is in their space were the top barriers. At the same time, I saw a major gap—people in need, including victims of human trafficking, often don’t know which services are available in their communities.
