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 Aparna Sharma, Founder of Sprout Media
The idea for Sprout Media was born from a simple observation — brands were losing their identity in a sea of sameness. With 17 years in global marketing, I noticed a clear gap between generic digital strategies and truly tailored brand storytelling. Sprout Media is my way of bridging that gap — a place where creativity meets strategy, allowing brands to grow authentically and impactfully.

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.

I’m a proud Mumbaikar, raised in a traditional Marwadi family, and the youngest among four siblings.
