Reinventing Healthcare: Entrepreneur Chelsea Ryckis on Overcoming “The Big Lie” to Rethink Employer Benefits and Lower Costs 10/28/2025

Reinventing Healthcare: Entrepreneur Chelsea Ryckis on Overcoming “The Big Lie” to Rethink Employer Benefits and Lower Costs Chelsea Ryckis is the award-winning founder and president of Ethos Benefits, a firm dedicated to advancing fiduciary-driven health insurance strategies for employers nationwide to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse from employer healthcare plans while increasing savings for both employers and their employees. After suffering a traumatic brain injury as a Division 1 college athlete, Canadian-born Chelsea experienced the US healthcare system firsthand, inspiring her pioneering entrepreneurship in healthcare. Chelsea was awarded the industry’s most prestigious award, Advisor of the Year, by Benefits Pro in 2024. She has also been named the Most Innovative Healthcare Consultant in the United States for 2024. Chelsea is the co-host of the Ethos Effect Podcast with her husband Donovan and producer of the documentary “It’s Not Personal, It’s Just Healthcare.” 🔑Key Takeaways🔑 💰 📈 Misaligned Incentives Are Driving Up Costs: Traditional brokers work on commission, meaning they earn more when your company pays more. Always ask your vendors, brokers, and consultants, “How are you paid? What incentives shape your advice?” 💡🛑 Transparency Is Possible—But Not From the Big Players: Most major carriers bundle all aspects of the health plan in a “closed box,” preventing employers from seeing claim-level data or understanding actual costs. By unbundling and using fee-based advisors, employers can regain control and thoroughly understand where their dollars are going. 🚀 🤝 Employers Have More Power Than They Think: 60-65% of Americans get insurance through work, yet most companies don’t realize they can drive change. Simple steps like questioning your broker’s incentives and exploring open-box plan options can lead to substantial savings and better employee care. ✨🛠️Smaller groups can save, too: Even with as few as 10 employees, innovative options exist—Chelsea shared a client success who saved $110,000 with just 22 workers. 🎙️Subscribe to Wings and get the full Show Notes at https://bit.ly/Wings953 More about Chelsea at Ethos Benefits /episode/index/show/wingspodcast/id/38808575

Her expertise lies in helping business owners understand franchising, scale their brands, and take their locations from one to 100. She’s also a partner in Limitless Franchise Growth, a franchise sales organization (FSO). 🔑Key Takeaways🔑 ✨🤝 Why Community Matters in Franchising: Franchising can be isolating for women—whether you’re a franchisee, franchisor, or vendor. While other industries offer executive women robust networks, franchising often leaves women searching for peers who truly understand the unique challenges of this “not-quite-corporate, not-quite-entrepreneurship” field. 💡🚀 Franchising: Is It For You?

Plus, systems, documented processes, and team support are musts if you want to scale and support franchisees successfully. And if you’re looking to buy a franchise? Seek a reputable franchise consultant to find the right fit for your goals and lifestyle. 🧠✨ The Mindset Shift: Why abundance, not scarcity, powers women’s success—and how Females in Franchising is setting a culture where women “don’t compete, we complete each other.” 👩‍🔬 📈 Females in Franchising: Learn all about Brittany’s new community platform (now with a waitlist!)—designed to foster authentic connections, mentorship, collaboration, and resource-sharing just for women in franchising.

She’s a passionate advocate for technology, and helps students and “re-launchers” alike hone their skills for the new “AI Age”, including creative problem solving and entrepreneurial skills. A former career consultant and instructor of a Career Management Strategy course at George Washington University, and most recently Georgetown University, developed an expertise in helping undergraduates of all majors recruit for and successfully obtain internships and full-time positions in the financial services industry, where she previously spent a decade focused on consumer and later investment banking at America, Capital One, Wells Fargo, and Lending Tree. Christine is also the author of Surviving Life’s Storms and Thriving in the Aftermath. 🔑Key Takeaways🔑 🚀 📈 Find Your Inner Entrepreneur: Why it’s necessary in the new “Age of AI” to develop problem-solving skills (not just being a “problem identifier”), build a personal brand that reflects your values, interests, and skills, and develop networking strategies and interview skills. 🤖💡Boost Your AI Proficiency: Everyone’s talking about the jobs AI will eliminate, but at the same time, every company needs people who are proficient in AI, from prompts to tools to creating AI systems. Now is the time to take some AI courses. 💼 👥 Rebuild Your Network if You’re a Re-Launcher: For women returning to work after having a child or any other prolonged absence, its vital to make LinkedIn your best friend to connect and reconnect, build an entrepreneurial “flexible work” strategy and professionalize any volunteer or board work as you update your technical skills. ✨💪Adaptability & Mindset Are Everything: Whether you’re starting your career or returning after a break, being adaptable, continuously learning, and shifting your mindset from “problem identifier” to “problem solver” is essential to growth and opportunity. 🛠️👩‍🔬 Technical & Relationship Skills Go Hand-in-Hand: Staying current with technology (especially AI tools) is critical, but so is strengthening your networking and relationship-building skills. Businesses are built on trust, collaboration, and personal connection—qualities that never go out of style. 🤝 🌱 There's No One "Right" Path: Whether through entrepreneurship, upskilling, or redefining your career path entirely, building a fulfilling professional life today means being open to unconventional journeys. Colleges may not be fully prepared for this shift—so it’s up to everyone to create and seize your own opportunities. 🎙️Subscribe to Wings and get the full Show Notes at https://bit.ly/wings-947 More about Christine at /episode/index/show/wingspodcast/id/38236350

Raising VC for Early-Stage AI: Lindsey Mignano on Challenges, Trends and Opportunities for Female Founders 09/09/2025

Raising VC for Early-Stage AI: Lindsey Mignano on Challenges, Trends and Opportunities for Female Founders Lindsey S. Mignano is the founder of SSM Legal, an entrepreneurial Silicon Valley corporate lawyer representing emerging technology companies and industry-adjacent firms and small businesses. Her practice spans technology company business formation and expansion into US markets, M&A (flips, entity or asset sales), commercial and technology transactions, and venture financing. Lindsey has been recognized as a “Rising Star” by Super Lawyers every year from 2016-2024, an honor awarded to only 2.5% of attorneys under the age of 40. In 2025, she was awarded the Super Lawyers distinction for the first time at the age of 40, an honor awarded to only 5% of attorneys. Separate from her law practice, Lindsey speaks often about diversity issues in the fields of law, tech, and venture. In 2023, Lindsey founded Venture Betches, a venture fund of funds, and Syndicate Betches, a real estate syndicate fund of funds, both with a social justice mission to bring investment opportunities to historically underrepresented accredited limited partners who identify as female and/or BIPOC/minorities. 🔑Key Takeaways🔑 💰 🚀 Fewer Early-Stage Deals, But Bigger Checks for the Chosen Few: While overall early-stage investment (seed & Series A) is down sharply, those who do close are raising larger rounds. AI startups are a bright spot—median deal size for early-stage AI is $4.6M vs. $3.5M in other sectors. 🛠️🔥The Funding Bar Is Higher Than Ever: VCs are pickier, demanding traction, ARR, and “proof” even at seed stage. This can be a real Catch-22 for founders who need funding to hit those milestones. 👩‍🔬🛑 The Gender Gap Persists—And Is Widening: Female founders face staggering disparities in deal count and dollars. In 2025, only 5.3% of all deals went to all-female teams, and a shocking 0.8% of total venture dollars. The dynamic is especially tough for solo women founders in technical AI, who often face pressure to take on male CTOs and cede equity to “pass” the VC filter. ✨💡 Tips for Women and Diverse Founders: Feeling daunted? Seek out emerging venture managers and female-run funds for your first checks—but be mindful of not being pigeonholed at the next funding stage. Build authentic relationships with decision-makers (not just associates). Don’t hesitate to get creative about showcasing traction, even with limited resources. Find legal and business partners who share your values and play the long game. 🎙️Subscribe to Wings and get the full Show Notes at https://bit.ly/wings-946 More about Lindsey at /episode/index/show/wingspodcast/id/38140890

Myth Busting: Entrepreneur Nicole Spiegel-Gotsch on Challenging Stereotypes and Misconceptions About Female Founders 06/10/2025

Turn Objections into Opportunities: Entrepreneur Sales Guru Andee Hart on Selling with Integrity and Confidence 06/03/2025

Turn Objections into Opportunities: Entrepreneur Sales Guru Andee Hart on Selling with Integrity and Confidence Andee Hart is an entrepreneur, sales strategist, mentor, and host of the podcast, She Sells Differently. While working as a sales executive for a Fortune 500 company, Andee started a passion project, Hart Design Co., of candle making in her own kitchen. What started out as a side hustle with her candles in a handful of local boutiques quickly blossomed into a wildly successful wholesale business and store front. Within a year, Andee was able to transition from her 17-year corporate sales career to full-time entrepreneurship, now also teaching women entrepreneurs how to master sales. 🔑Key Takeaways🔑 🤔 🚀 Turn Mistakes into Mastery: Why every mistake in sales became part of her learning journey. Nobody is born a master salesperson. The key? Treat sales as a muscle you build over time, learning from every challenge along the way. 🧠 🤟 Seek First to Understand: Rather than leaping to defend or solve, use thoughtful, open-ended questions to get to the heart of your customer’s true needs. Not only does this diffuse tension, but it creates space for collaboration—not confrontation. ✨ 💖 Sell with Integrity: Desperation never sells. Sometimes getting a “no” is the best answer. Andee shares how having the confidence to walk away from deals that aren’t the right fit builds long-term trust—and opens doors to better opportunities down the road. 💰🔥 10 Seconds of Courage: One of the top reasons entrepreneurs lose sales? Not actually asking for the sale! Muster “10 seconds of courage” and confidently assume the partnership. Follow up—most people never do, and you’ll stand out massively just by closing the loop. 🤝 🎯 It’s All About Fit—and Follow Up: Whether you’re selling products to boutiques or high-ticket B2B tech, the magic is in qualifying your clients up front—understanding decision makers, budget, and whether your product is truly the right solution. And if you don’t get a yes right away? Follow up! Often, your customer needs the nudge. 📈 ⚡Growth Means Letting Go of Perfection: Perfectionism is your enemy when it comes to sales, so learn to ask for help, be humble, curious and open to coaching. 🎙️Subscribe to Wings and get the full Show Notes at Check out Andee’s Sales Tools for entrepreneurs.

She reminds us that acknowledging your achievements—no matter how small—is crucial for rewiring your mindset for abundance and success. 👥 🤟Surround Yourself with Your “Squad”: Entrepreneurship is a growth journey—personally and professionally and no one can do it alone.
