What if connection didn’t have to revolve around cocktails? ✨

In this episode of The Heart-Led Business Show, I sit down with Laura Nelson, co-founder of Sober Life Rocks and author of The Inclusive Event Planner. She’s rewriting the rules of networking and events, proving that the most powerful connections happen when inclusivity, not alcohol, takes center stage.

Think less “happy hour hangover” and more authentic connection that actually lasts past midnight (without the Advil).🍸🚫

🎧 Listen and be inspired to create spaces where everyone truly belongs.

Key Takeaways

• Why alcohol-free events are the future (and not just for the sober crowd)
• The surprising power of mocktails to build community
• How to create inclusive, connection-driven experiences without the buzz
• The business case for sober-friendly conferences (spoiler: it’s profitable!)
• Navigating the awkward “why aren’t you drinking?” moments with grace

Healthcare shouldn’t feel transactional—it should feel human. In this episode of the Heart-Led Business Show, I sit down with Matthew Gillogly, founder of Mavrix Profit System, to explore how doctors can break free from the constraints of insurance-driven healthcare and return to what truly matters: healing with heart.

From a professional golf career to pioneering a healthcare revolution, Matthew shares how his mission helps doctors reclaim purpose, passion, and profit while creating meaningful impact for their patients and communities. This conversation is packed with insights for anyone curious about how heart-led business can transform lives, empower doctors, and reshape healthcare from the inside out.

Key Takeaways

• Why the system keeps most doctors broke and burned out—and why it’s not their fault.
• The hidden alliance between Big Pharma, insurance, and hospitals (and how it impacts your health).
• How Matt helps doctors build thriving, love-driven cash practices.
• The myth that patients won’t pay out-of-pocket—debunked by real data.
