Nausheen I. Chen
Public Speaking Coach, Three-Time TEDx Speaker, Ex-Fortune 50
I want to help you go from meek to mighty when you speak anywhere. I’ve coached hundreds of CEOs, entrepreneurs, and founders to speak with confidence and clarity on podcasts, webinars, stages like TEDx and TechCrunch, and also in high-stakes meetings. I’ve helped the C-suite at startups walk into investor meetings and raise $60+ million. Here to help you speak as the thought leader you are meant to be.
Jason Feifer
Author, speaker, Editor in Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine
I want to help you reach your “Wouldn’t Go Back” moment. What’s that? It’s when you’re going through a big change in work, discover a great new opportunity, and say, “I wouldn’t want to go back to a time before I had this.”
Pat Flynn
Author, speaker, serial entrepreneur, creator of SPI, co-founder of SPI Media
I am here to serve, here to inspire, and here for you. I deeply understand the challenges of online business. Like so many others facing hardships in their jobs, I was forced to adapt — and quickly — to support myself and my family.
Matt Gartland
Serial entrepreneur, startup advisor & investor, co-founder & CEO of SPI Media
I’ve been a part of 10+ companies since 2011. Most didn’t make it. A few did and achieved good exits. Along the way, I’ve developed a great “range” of business skills, which has become my superpower. I’m here to help you develop that power too.
Amy Nelson
Entrepreneur, Lawyer, Writer, Founder of The Riveter
I am a storyteller. I’ve used this skill to create multiple companies from ideas, raise $30 million in venture capital, land a column in Forbes, launch an iHeart podcast, and sell millions in products. I am so excited to connect with a group of people building cool things — of all sizes. Entrepreneurship can be really lonely and connection can truly change the game.
Yasmine Salem Hamdan
Founder of Coaches & Company, Business Lawyer, Brand Consultant
I joined the EIR program to make a meaningful impact on the lives and businesses of SPI members. Over time, I’ve come to know these individuals as kind, innovative, and driven to make a positive difference in the world. Through my experience as an attorney, I’ve observed that many entrepreneurs hold themselves back from expanding and seizing opportunities due to a lack of legal protection. This uncertainty can be a significant barrier to success. By participating in the EIR program, I aim to help SPI members overcome this hurdle, providing them with the legal tools and confidence they need to grow and thrive.
Pamela Slim
Award-Winning Author, Speaker, Agency Owner
I would love to share my experience and frameworks to help SPI Pros remove roadblocks and get to market faster. I cannot wait to learn all about everyone’s businesses and do what I can to provide perspective and ideas for scale. I love community environments and look forward to learning a lot from fellow entrepreneurs.
Caleb Wojcik
Videographer, Video Editor, SwitchPod Co-Inventor
Beyond helping people with what I’m an “expert” in, I want to help those who feel stuck. People who know they can accomplish more than they are now, who can see where they want to be but for whatever reason just can’t see the path to make it there.

Leadership
Leadership isn’t about ideas and popularity. It’s about critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, mental toughness, strategy development, and more across the full scope of your business.
Business Model
Shape ideas into a focused model that represents the business you actually want.
Strategic Planning
“More of the same” sucks and won’t lead to success. Think, plan, and execute differently.
Executive Mindset
Develop your ability to handle problems and overcome adversity for the long haul.
Relationship Building
Your ability to build and maintain relationships is a pivotal skill to your long-term success.
Sales and Marketing
There’s a lot more to marketing your thing than just creating content. Serious entrepreneurs learn sales skills, hone their copywriting, explore earned media channels, and figure out how to structure deals.
Audience Building
Building an engaged following that knows, likes, and trusts you is essential to your success.
Content Strategy
Decide where/how you can stand out online through content made to break through.
Business Development
Getting good at business-to-business deals and partnerships is a massive superpower.
Earned Media / PR
Figure out how to tap into traditional media channels for significant exposure potential.
Product and Services
No amount of good marketing can make up for a crummy product or service. Great entrepreneurs avoid this trap by prioritizing product and service development, innovation, and customer success.
Customer Journey
Get deliberate about how people experience your offerings — from discovery to goodbye.
Customer Success
Fuel massive customer love, loyalty, and retention through your product experience.
Product Management
Don’t just ship once. Continually refine and innovate your offerings with great intention.
Community Building
Build peer-to-peer connection and support into the soul of your work.
Operations
Creative people like entrepreneurs often overlook or undervalue operations. That’s a classic mistake. How your business works is important today and will become more important later as you grow.
Business Finance
Money (aka finance) is a secret weapon to growth and success if you lean into it.
People and Culture
Treat your business like a product and build it with quality people, values, and more.
Operating Systems
Build workflows, systems, controls, and more to generate meaningful results.
Technology and Data
Get smart about what infrastructure to use (and avoid) to run a healthy business.
