AMANDA & ANDREW NICHOLS
AMANDA NICHOLS
Amanda Faith Nichols is a 9th grader at Bridgeland High School. She took her first sewing class at 9 years old. She knew after that first day that she was plugged into her creative outlet. From then on, every time she went shopping she continually surrounded herself in fabrics and sewing supplies. Soon after this time her mom was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and she poured her soul into her work. It helped her deal with and process her feelings.
Her next step was to build inventory for a local craft show and home show where she made money and realized she wanted to start a business - Amanda Faith Designs. Recently, she has incorporated her love for acting and sewing by designing and making costumes for theatre and hopes to sell some of her most popular products at her school during orientation and other school events.
Amanda is involved in the Ursa Theatre and Drama Club at Bridgeland High School and her church youth group. You can find her most days singing, baking and reading. She has been featured, along with her brother, in local community Magazines and newsletters for her work and entrepreneurial spirit. She desires to attend Savannah College of Art and Design and own an Interior Design business. You can follow her on Facebook and Instagram at Amanda Faith Designs.

BRANDON SOUBA
Brandon Souba is one of the most enthusiastic people you will ever meet. He has a special zest for life and infusing others with that special something is one of his life’s greatest passions.
As your ADHD DJ, Brandon brings 14 years of sales and networking expertise. He began his sales career as a commission-based granite countertop salesman in the Great Recession of 2008; not exactly the best way to begin one’s career. Brandon knew from the start he needed to stand out from the rest. In his home city of Omaha, Nebraska there were no shortage of countertop companies – or sales people willing and able to do anything to beat out the competition.
During this time Brandon bought a house, got married and he and his wife welcomed their first child in 2013. Despite working for a franchise of a respected international granite company, he quickly came to the realization that he was essentially running his own business. As a salesman, Brandon cut his teeth on trade shows and in-home estimates with near strangers. His livelihood, and that of his small family’s, depended on Brandon’s ability to convert a positive first impression into a signature on the dotted line of a sales contract.
Brandon translated his successful sales career into an opportunity to bring the knowledge he had gleaned to other small business owners. He accepted a position within an internationally recognized networking organization with 270,000+ members in over 74 countries. Brandon again found himself working for a franchise of a respected international company, but now found himself with an expanded territory of four states. Brandon was personally responsible for the development and growth of over 1,300 business owners. He developed a training program specifically designed to help these business owners develop and nurture their networking skills to grow their businesses. His clientele ranged from landscape company owners to accountants to chiropractors and more!
The uniqueness of this organization and the occasional challenges of in-person meetings (his furthest client being over 600 miles away from home in a state that sees their winter come early, complete with blizzards and road closures) led Brandon to create a podcast. The desire to expand the reach of his podcast, coupled with the desire to be more locally based as Brandon and his wife welcomed their second daughter in 2018, prompted Brandon to increase his podcast from two episodes per month to a weekly episode. His weekly podcast introduced new networking strategies and occasionally featured one of his clients; giving that member the opportunity to spotlight their business and share how using the networking skills Brandon taught them translated into referrals, which turned into new business and then became increased business revenue.
While Brandon did not intentionally set out on a path toward coaching and training others on growing their business, it seems to be one to which he was predisposed. He grew up watching his father put sweat equity into growing his own food manufacturing business to eventually sell to a nationally known organization.
Brandon has put his own sweat equity into his 14 years of sales and networking. The strategies he shares are ones that have been tried and tested over the length of his career. These techniques have proven successful for thousands of business owners and Brandon is ecstatic to be able to share them with the rest of the world.

James Bryant, Ph.D. is the Founder of Better You 4U, LLC a boutique leadership training and peak performance coaching firm that serves executives and business owners. Through the decades of James’ leadership roles in private and public sectors, he has noticed that many business leaders are struggling with balancing the organization’s needs with those of their own. Based on James experience, this balancing act is a losing strategy that consistently leads to burn out, frustration, lack of purpose and feeling overwhelmed.
When being recognized by Virginia Tech as a distinguished alumni James was introduced as an excellent husband and father BEFORE they mentioned his accomplishments in industry. This was not a coincidence, James has developed and implemented strategies to overcome these challenges, helped many others do the same and can help you too.
Feeling like you have lost control of your situation is not something that has to continue. James created the proprietary Mirror Moments Program to help his clients gain a deep understanding of what led to the current situation and the Positive Attitude Ushering in Self-Empowerment (PAUSE) Framework to replenish and restore their energy. Once they are in a healthy place, he then helps them implement proven leadership principles based on the John Maxwell Team teachings and the power of connection to create relationships that propel their business and their lives to peak performance. It all starts with you.

ANGELA CHANEY
Angela Chaney
Co-Owner, Director of Content; Pixel Fire Marketing
Hi everyone! My name is Angela Chaney and I’m the co-owner of Pixel Fire Marketing in Omaha, NE, where we’re proud to help small to medium-sized businesses grow through online marketing. I have
over 20 years of marketing experience and specialize in content and business development at Pixel Fire.
I’m also the author of Engagement Equity: Earning the Ask, a business book that illustrates the philosophy behind our business.
When you utilize Engagement Equity in your business and personal life, you visualize each of your relationships as an account. When you give value to others in the form of sharing information, listening to them, treating them as they’d like to be treated, etc., you make a deposit into that account. Once you’ve made a certain number of deposits, you can then (and only then) make a withdrawal by asking for something in return.
We use this philosophy with our social media and advertising strategies as well as in our professional and personal interactions with those we work with, network with, live with, and are close to.
In addition to being a marketer, radio host, and business owner, I also teach classes on utilizing Engagement Equity and love showing people how to enhance their lives by learning how to
EARN THE ASK!
When I’m not working, I enjoy writing fiction, reading, cooking, watching professional hockey (go Flyers!), visiting any casino I can, and spending time with my awesome family and friends. Thanks for
taking the time to learn more about me and I look forward to “talking” with all of you!

In 2003 (12 years later-finally allowed out again) she started working in a Manhattan CPA firm while earning her degree in accounting with a double major in finance and economics.
Her corporate career ended in the hedge fund industry in 2014. She is a QuickBooks Online certified pro, and excel wizard and an automation expert.

Aaron lee
Before Aaron worked in consulting, his work put him in close contact with a wide variety of organizations and leaders. He led nonprofits, most recently directing a national volunteer disaster response organization to $1.1 million in annual impact.
In these roles, he led staff and volunteers to rebuild communities in the aftermath and chaos of natural disasters, directed organizations through leadership transitions, and forged his own path as a leader.
Over the years, Aaron watched bosses who hesitated to give constructive feedback and struggled to take themselves or the team to the next level, saw team members who resisted collaborating, saw teams more focused on drama and doing as little as possible, and encountered entire organizations who had the potential of reaching the stars but would breed hostility and couldn’t get off the starting block. He saw all of these traits taking root in himself, too, and realized none of these experiences were unique.
Aaron’s trailblazing, future-oriented perspective inspired the belief we could all do better.
Aaron has a passion for taking leaders and teams to their true potential in their personal and professional lives and has a strong desire to see organizations reach their vision and do so with efficiency and clarity. He has directed volunteers, staff and teams to raise funds, launch projects and lead events.
Aaron is an ECLC3 certified coach a GiANT Consultant facilitator, and a Predictive Index Certified Partner. He is a graduate of the University of Richmond and holds a Master of Divinity.
In his free time, Aaron enjoys spending time with his family, taking on a home improvement project and keeping up with the Spiders, Hokies and Orioles. Aaron and his wife live in Richmond with their two daughters.

He saw all of these traits taking root in himself, too, and realized none of these experiences were unique.
Aaron’s trailblazing, future-oriented perspective inspired the belief we could all do better.
Aaron has a passion for taking leaders and teams to their true potential in their personal and professional lives and has a strong desire to see organizations reach their vision and do so with efficiency and clarity. He has directed volunteers, staff and teams to raise funds, launch projects and lead events.
Aaron is an ECLC3 certified coach a GiANT Consultant facilitator, and a Predictive Index Certified Partner. He is a graduate of the University of Richmond and holds a Master of Divinity.
In his free time, Aaron enjoys spending time with his family, taking on a home improvement project and keeping up with the Spiders, Hokies and Orioles. Aaron and his wife live in Richmond with their two daughters.

WILLIAM EASTMAN
I started IBGR in January 2020. It is the culmination of over a decade in the radio business - in front of the microphone and in the back office. My start in radio was creating the number one business talk show in Central Virginia - Richmond BizLive and after the station was sold we moved to WNTW. I just completed an assignment as General Manager at WNTW in Chester and the WLES in Bon Air Virginia. The owners hired me to return the stations to profitability by the end of 2019. We did, and that experience was preparation for this station; creating something that is needed but never successfully created before - Business Growth Radio.
