Alex Fedotoff, Founder of AF MEDIA

His community Facebook Ads Rockstars (27,000 members) is where I share what I've learned from my experiments. He currently lives between Malta and Monaco with his wife and son.

Alex believes success in business comes from a focus on serving one industry/niche/skillset very well and then expanding that success. It's easy to figure out how to help one industry but near impossible to learn how to help everyone from the get-go.

After success in one industry, it's easy to leverage it to succeed in others, but if you start too broad and trying to do too many things for too many people, it will take you years to become just good (not exceptional).

And to succeed, you (your company) need to be exceptional at what you do.

David A. Jenkins, 3 x Olympian, Olympic medalist, and chemical engineer

David A. Jenkins is a 3 x Olympian, Olympic medalist, and chemical engineer. He is the Whey Protein pioneer, and serial entrepreneur with two private equity exits. Plus 7 issued U.S. Patent with 1 or more patents in 41 other countries around the world.

For me, it’s always been about going where nobody has gone before. I just happen to be a protein zealot. Understandably perhaps because the word protein comes from Greek word 'proteios', meaning of prime importance…so critical for life, let alone health.

David’s philosophy for entrepreneurial success is that it’s all about getting the business model right, once you know what problem are you solving. Measuring how sustainable is your own unfair competitive advantage.

Paul Lee, M.D., Founder of Mind AI Inc

Paul is a clinician, scientist, and an entrepreneur. As a graduate of St Paul's School and University of Oxford with a degree in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, he received an M.D. from The School of Medicine at Catholic University of Korea. Paul is also a graduate of Futuremed at Singularity University 2013 and Exponential Medicine 2014. Paul served in the Republic of Korea Army as a lieutenant doctor and a director of Pogok public health center in Yongin. He also co founded JNP LAB in Seoul that acts as a development hub for global exponential technologies.

As the cofounder of Curely and co founder and CEO of Kuddly, Paul grew the business into one of the largest media channels in the US for the health and pet health industries. Under his direction, the company built and managed over 120 Facebook channels focused on human and pet health and wellness, and have accumulated over 6 billion views by publishing over 7,500 Facebook videos over the course of the past 2 years.

In 2018, Paul founded Mind AI, an artificial intelligence engine and an ecosystem created to offer an entirely new approach to AI with completely new data structures called “canonicals.”

Paul explains: “A human-like reasoning engine could have so much impact, even in ways we cannot imagine right now. For one, we envision it to be the CPU of all the other AI systems. Its transparency of operations makes it perfect for domains such as medicine, drug discovery, law, and finance since we are able to trace exactly how Mind AI was able to arrive at its conclusion, unlike current neural network based systems. Mind AI will be able to contextualize information and generalize knowledge, and eventually learn how to learn. This means that it will eventually be able to use the internet to do its own research.”

Craig Linden, Founder Real Time Touch

Craig Linden has more experience than most startup founders, being in business since 1970’s and active in research and development for the past 33 years. Linden has targeted the telemedicine industry with his brainchild, Real Time Touch.

“We’re aiming for a dramatic acceleration of Clinical Trial efficiency and effectiveness,” said Linden, who also holds the patents for the technology to offer remote monitoring, medication adherence verification and remote medicine release.

The telemedicine market is huge; the opportunities for growth could reach over $29 billion per year in the US alone, while up to $6 billion could be saved for employers - and Linden has many plans for it.

Real Time Touch is implementing augmented reality to remotely deliver doses of medication, control magnetic-based pain relief devices, and control home-based treatment and therapy devices

“While today's telemedicine platforms are very useful, they lack the ability to treat or deliver medical treatments, therapies and medicines.” Linden concludes: “To make the remote communications more 'real', we have to be able transmit and receive live human touch and actions -- ideally, coordinated with speech or audiovisual communications. And it must be ... spontaneous, quick and realistic -- nearly like body language and touch during face-to-face meetings.”

Tom James, World-Class Leading Growth Marketer

My friends are often talking about trying to be successful in the future. Although they may define that as being a super rich CEO or a billionaire philanthropist, I believe this is a massive exaggeration of what they really want. I think what success boils down to for most people is finding a way to make enough money to lead the lifestyle they want.

For me, I found this so called “success” around the age of 20, after a couple tricky years of struggling to afford to eat each day whilst at college. I always thought I wanted to be a very rich man, and didn’t know how to get there. Until I realized I was happy as long as I got to travel full time to new countries every couple weeks. Once I realized I would probably only need to make $3000 per month to afford this lifestyle, it was EASY to achieve this “success”.

And although entrepreneurship was the path I took, I think it isn’t the best path for everyone. It was just the best way for me to achieve my own “success.”

Karen Sahetya, CEO of Brand Central Marketing

Lola Sultan, IG- @LolaSultanOfficial

Drive, courage, and resilience are the anchor traits squarely behind the growing and well-deserved success of Lola Sultan. As a young entrepreneur pursuing a career in entertainment, Lola’s innate talents crack doors open, but it is her commitment to positivity and ability to welcome every audition, casting, fitting, table read or call back as an opportunity for growth, that open them fully.

While clearly committed to her craft and loaded with raw talent, Lola Sultan’s mindset is her secret weapon: life is a classroom, and everyone she meets is a teacher. As a participant in an industry that moves in real-time, her creative agility and ability to mine for inspiration in the face of rejection, or a smaller role, has paved the way to more substantive ones. Lola’s recipe for success as a young entrepreneur is rather simple and highly effective: keep your circle positive, speak kindly, support others, and operate with gratitude and a growth mindset.

Lola Sultan is a living, breathing example of how the creative and entrepreneurial spirit is not confined to the limits or typicalities set forth by those who came before, rather, it is defined by one’s ability to treat experiences, roadblocks, accomplishments, and successes as building blocks to accomplish personal goals and dreams. You can catch Lola co-starring in the new film Bernie and the Dolphin, where you will garner a sense of her talent as an actor, as well as her vocality in the song and music video for Best Friends, the single which accompanies her latest creative venture.

Lola reflected that she considers herself “a young person who has had so many amazing experiences that I’m grateful for already.” And based on her healthy mindset, immense talent and growing presence in Hollywood, it’s safe to say there will be much to be grateful for in the future! @lolasultanofficial
