Brian Kersten Minnesota, originally from Appleton, Wisconsin, has made significant contributions as a veterinarian throughout his illustrious career. Raised on a family farm, his early interactions with animals sparked a profound interest in veterinary science, propelling him towards a dedicated path in this field. After receiving his Bachelor of Science in Animal Science from the University of Minnesota and graduating with high distinction in 1977, he embarked on a lifelong journey to improve the lives of animals. In 2021, he took a pivotal step by establishing Mercy Veterinary Service in Baldwin, Wisconsin. This clinic, founded to provide low-cost veterinary services, is a testament to his dedication to ensuring that every pet receives proper care, irrespective of their owner's financial situation. Here, he focuses on small animal medicine, surgery, and veterinary dentistry, upholding a reputation for excellence and compassion. He also lends his expertise as a relief veterinarian in Amery, Wisconsin, where he supports various veterinary practices and enhances the overall welfare of animals in the region. His journey to becoming a veterinarian was marked by a significant academic milestone when he earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1983. Initially, he worked in mixed animal practice, gaining extensive experience and insights into the field. In 1985, his career took a humanitarian turn as he dedicated 2.5 years to aiding the rural communities of Haiti, further showcasing his commitment to human and animal care. Upon returning to the United States in 1987, he resumed his practice in Baldwin, Wisconsin. In 2001, he purchased this practice, expanding his influence and capability to serve the community. He also served as President of the Pierce St. Croix Humane Society from 2001 to 2003 before selling his practice in 2016. However, his commitment to veterinary medicine remained strong, leading to the foundation of his low-cost clinic in 2021. His philanthropic efforts extend well beyond his professional duties. He is actively involved with Today's Harvest Food Shelf, where he volunteers to aid those facing food insecurity. His support for the Mercy Corps humanitarian organization underscores his commitment to addressing global challenges. Additionally, his voluntary service at Barefoot Crow Animal Rescue highlights his enduring passion for animal welfare, where he provides essential care to rescued animals. He enjoys a fulfilling life outside his professional and volunteer activities. He is married with four grown children and has various hobbies, such as playing the guitar, gardening, reading, and exercising. These activities provide personal satisfaction and reflect his lifelong pursuit of learning and self-improvement. As Brian Kersten Minnesota celebrates the 40th anniversary of his graduation from veterinary school in 2023, his journey from a Wisconsin farm to becoming a revered veterinarian and dedicated humanitarian continues.

Hi, I’m Eirini Fotiou. From the bustling boardrooms of London, Brussels, and Athens to the stages of over 15 international conferences, I’ve taken on diverse roles at renowned companies like SWIFT and MASTERCARD, in the financial and the management consulting world. Alongside my dynamic career of 10+ years, I've been academically enriched with two Masters in Management and International Management from the London School of Economics. However, amid the rhythm of life's ebbs and flows, I encountered a defining moment that altered my course: breast cancer when i was 29 years old. This wasn't just a physical ailment; it served as a profound invitation to reevaluate every facet of my existence—from my core priorities to the very essence of my relationships. This transformative episode led me on a journey of genuine forgiveness, nurturing profound connections, and, notably, attuning to the whispers of my inner voice, my intrinsic essence. Each time I recount this chapter of my story at conferences, I'm met with the overwhelming feedback that it resonates deeply, inspiring many. Rising from this transformative phase, I embarked on a new academic endeavor. I first became a certified Health Coach and then earned a Masters in Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy from the Central University of Lancashire. With this newfound knowledge and my personal experiences, I established a non-profit organisation 3 years ago, focusing on Positive Education. and positive psychology principles in educational institutions while also supporting parents in nurturing the holistic development of their children. Today, I have founded my own company and work as a mental health counselor. My approach as a counselor is rooted in the belief that we can shape our thoughts, and consequently, control our emotions and results in life. Guiding professionals and individuals alike, I provide them with tools and strategies to control their inner narratives, thereby preventing stress-related issues and ensuring optimal mental well-being. In my public speaking i talk about my transformative life journey, about how i reframed the cancer challenge into an opportunity for a new way of leaving and the importance of mental health in the workplace.

I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma with my dad and stepmom. I faced a lot of challenges along the way - most of them caused by my parents. Once I became an adult and moved away, many of the adults who were family friends repeatedly told us that they knew what was going on when I was a child. From that point on, I made a vow to help youth who were facing adversity or struggling in life. My mission is to make a difference in a child's life or help parents who struggle to parent

Dominique Brun is an Entrepreneur, Founder, Business Capital Coach Expert and Speaker. Specializing in helping underserved small businesses grow and sustain, Dominique is a passionate advocate for women. Women have often faced bias and historically been shut out of financing. In 2021, she saw a common problem emerge after watching countless women struggle to attain significant financing to grow their businesses. Predatory loans and overleveraging personal funds were one of the many issues holding these entrepreneurs back. Multiple short terms loans taking daily payments were killing businesses. Not to mention, the thousands of women owned enterprises not being referred to other sources once denied by their banks. Dominique knew she had to do something. It was then she began her mission to make financial resources accessible and available to Founders, leveling the playing field, despite background, industry, geography or gender. Dominique went on to build DominoFX Group, an online platform that helps underserved female founders establish a foundation, then access the best small business financing by matching these Founders to Funders, even if they've been denied by traditional banks. Along with the community, The Domino Effect, the platform was created to coach and guide female founders in business with strategic steps and a clear pathway to funding, while saving their most valuable resource – time. Our mission is big, bold and attainable. To provide $25M in funding by end of 2025. In my experience, people have a lot of questions about business credit and lending. It’s sad, but true. Banks love to beat up business owners when it comes to getting business loans. Maybe you’ve been rejected. Maybe you don’t even want to try because you know you’ll be rejected. Fortunately, there are alternatives. And that’s a good thing Dominique wants to share with the world. Guided by the principles of The Domino Effect, which illustrates small steps and actions can trigger significant outcomes - Dominique believes through this education, it will create a ripple effect of positive change in the economy and for wealth creation and ownership amongst women, their families and communities. Dominique is a disruptor and compelling leader who champions the financial empowerment of women while also providing opportunities to build financial independence and clarity. “I strongly believe that, for society to change, access to resources much change. I want to remind people of the power small business has in this economy and change the entrepreneurial ecosystem by bridging the gap and creating new ways of accessing capital.
