My very first client was a startup in Silicon Valley that I worked with until they were acquired by Ancestry.com for $100M.In 2008, I pivoted the company to a marketing agency and provided services to many of the world’s leading brands, including Disney, Microsoft, Post, Ford, and Alliance Films.As social media rose in popularity, I worked with Hollywood actors, best-selling authors, and professional speakers to craft their personal brands and build communities of raving fans.In 2017, I joined L-SPARK, a B2B SaaS accelerator, where I led their marketing and community-building efforts while also advising and mentoring the startups in the program.In 2020, I then joined Fellow, a B2B SaaS platform for meeting productivity and team management, as their first head of marketing hire.In the media, my work has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, TechCrunch, The Wall Street Journal, The Globe &amp; Mail, and more.I am also the Chair of the Entrepreneurship Program Advisory Committee at Algonquin College, the Ottawa Chapter Co-Lead for the Slack Platform Community, and a digital marketing instructor at the Telfer School of Business.More About The Inspired OnesAs a global marketplace connecting entrepreneurs to people, resources, capital and global exposure they need for success, Founders Live believes each and everyone in the world deserves an equal opportunity for success, or what we call Entrepreneurial Equality. An important aspect of that equality is access to authentic inspiration and honest insights from those that have gone before us.You may have heard about audio-based live discussion platforms lately as innovators and brand leaders jump in to explore the space and gain new avenues of visibility. We’ve seen all kinds of conversations happen, from interviews to Q&amp;A’s to support sessions, but regardless of form, it’s growing organically—and quickly.The most recent development has Facebook asking a few major global brands, including Founders Live, the Ringer, and ESPN, to join them in launching a new take on this format.The Inspired Ones is a new take on those discussions, a gritty, authentic series about inspiration, resilience and modern entrepreneurship. Produced by Founders Live, follow a show where Nick Hughes unearths unique and emotionally driven entrepreneurial stories within the cultural lens of a particular industry, region or focus. The new cross-culture experience unleashes an inspirational behind-the-scenes view of the well known people who influence pop culture and the relatively unknown innovators who are creating our future.The weekly live interactive audio show invites you to join a conversation around the magic that happens at the convergence of creativity and entrepreneurship. The two hour experience juxtaposes two different sources of inspiration - the world’s most accomplished and talented entertainers who have influenced the world we inhabit, as well as the stories of emerging and highly promising innovative creators building the future we indeed will find ourselves living in. By peeling away any superficial veneer, The Inspired Ones reveals true respectful authenticity and how it can move everyday people to change the world.Join us as we learn what the big screen, the stadium, and radio is not telling us? Who are these favorite celebrity entertainers, really? Yes they are popular, but who do they want to be remembered as? Join us as we follow their journey to the top and yet still feel a deeper calling. We get to know their other sides, the untold deeper purposes and areas of the world they still yearn to impact. You might even get to ask what tugs at their heart and where they would like to leave a dent in the world. Aren’t you curious as to their Why? We also discover what happens when we agree talent is everywhere, and leave the well-heeled and overcrowded tech hubs of America to cast a wider net on creativity around the world. The Inspired Ones unearths raw talent— real people changing lives, pushing boundaries and disrupting industries in the various corners of the world they call home. We listen to their startup pitch, provide valuable feedback and insights, as well as learn more about their own journey and their own Why?This unique dynamic between Established and Emerging will cut to the core of human potential to help you understand true inspiration, true purpose and where you might find yours. There’s a feeling of excitement in the air and it represents a rare opportunity to be at the forefront of something big. The convergence of entertainment, innovation and community brings hope, connection, and inspiration to us all, while showcasing promising entrepreneurs from around the world. We don’t know exactly what’s going to happen, and that’s part of the fun of it. Join in and let’s see what we can create together.
