Jule Kucera is an author, podcaster, and educator who believes that stories have the power to make us smarter. She blogs at julekucera.com, podcasts at Hard Times & Hope, teaches part-time at the University of Cincinnati, and volunteers as board secretary for Homebase. After publishing her memoir, Sweet Baby Lover, Jule is at work on her first novel.

Linda McLachlan is a former business executive turned writer, podcaster, professional coach, and business consultant.

Over the past 25 years, she’s built a rewarding career anchored in leadership, and has had the privilege of working with highly accomplished entrepreneurs, thought leaders and artists.

Her professional career began as an actor at the National Theatre School, and then moving into arts administration, she worked in the performing arts sector and for major international festivals for more than 15 years.

She joined a start-up business in 2007 which allowed her to work nationally and internationally with senior legal counsel, business and thought leaders across a variety of verticals and disciplines. From the first employee to shareholder and board member, she had the opportunity to shape many aspects of what continues to be a successful business.

In 2018, life was at a crossroads and she decided it needed an overhaul. She left the business she’d help build to pursue her third career and embrace her creative roots. She studied improv and storytelling at The Second City and earned her professional coaching designation through the Adler Professional School. She also left her relationship, changed cities, kicked alcohol and lost 80lbs in the space of 9 months.

During the pandemic, she decided to create her podcast THE ARENA – Living a Courageous Life featuring a diverse set of ordinary people sharing their stories of daily acts of courage, hope and resilience. She hopes it will inspire her listeners to live consciously and courageously.

Özlem is a high performing culturally diverse woman, based in Amsterdam. Born and raised in the Netherlands, she also has lived in Istanbul, Turkey and Aarhus, Denmark; and traveled across continents. Due to her multicultural identity she constantly moved between East and West, psychically but also in her heart and mind. 

She holds a Bachelor degree in Education, Master degree in Educational Sciences, and gained certificates in marketing, entrepreneurial sales, and coaching from institutions in the Netherlands and abroad. She is grateful for all the ‘official’ education she has gained, for this has provided her with ways of thinking, allowed her to gain knowledge, and developed her intellect. 

Yet, wisdom is what she gained during all her travels, work, living abroad, spending time alone, and interacting with various people from different layers of society. Her journey in self development made her slowly get aware of who she is. After shedding some light on her true self, she started embracing her light and darkness at the same time. Getting to know herself and her lifelong passion of connecting to other human beings contributed to her constantly expanding emotional intelligence. 

She is very human and at the same time very commercial and sales-driven. She did business development in Europe for a technology Startup, had an international sales role at a multinational Danish fashion company, and taught at international schools abroad. She honors her feminine and masculine energy to learn, create, evolve and contribute to the world. 

She isn’t fearless! She also has fears, yet she moves forward comfortably uncomfortable!
