About Kate Eckman While working for nearly a decade as a TV news anchor and reporter, I interviewed hundreds of prominent newsmakers, including President Barack Obama and Angelina Jolie. As a writer, I've contributed articles to Woman’s Day Magazine, Redbook Magazine, Forbes, mindbodygreen, the Huffington Post and elephant journal, to name a few. From TV presenter it was a short hop into modeling and soon I was working as a television personality and brand ambassador. But my energy and drive wouldn’t let me stay only in front of the camera, and I began moving into entrepreneurship and business, as well. I’ve helped multiple global beauty brands shape their vision and strategy, and I recently led the team behind the launch of QVC’s first and only proprietary beauty brand, which made more than four million dollars in sales on its first day. All of these experiences have made me who I am today and inform my strategy for helping students and clients find their path to success, within and without.EndoDNA: EndoDNA offers a tailored health and wellness experience through DNA analysis, empowering users with insights on nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement choices based on their genetic profile.

Two-time Stanley Cup champion Daniel Carcillo doesn't want someone else to be in the same position he was which is contemplating suicide. Fueled by a Traumatic Brain Injury after years of playing professional hockey and with a nickname like Car Bomb, Daniel was known as an enforcer. He was a very popular player with the Philadelphia Flyers, Chicago Blackhawks, and everywhere else he played. You have a lot more years to live after professional sports. After the loss of his friend who was also a former NHL player suffering from concussion syndrome, Daniel spiraled. His mission in life included taking on the NHL. He wanted to answer why NHL players struggle so much with moving on from the game. Why are so many former players I know battling depression? Why does the hockey community ignore them when they’re gone? And why can’t we create a more concrete program to help them transition into real life? After his own experience with psychedelic mushroom therapy and the associated re-integration, Daniel decided to make this his mission; to help former athletes and other people suffering from depression, post-concussion syndrome and other mental health challenges through natural medicines including psilocybin and plant medicine.
