Rachel’s the creative force behind every brand Neo Genesis puts out — and she’s helped over 100 clients with their brand throughout her career. She’s an artist and designer who makes “professional” and “weird” work together without even trying. She shows up in all black, treats everyone like a bro, and carries herself like a skater chic who squeals over cute things. Her dream is to make art that inspires people to be their boldest, messiest selves — and do that for a living.
Outside of work, she creates characters — strange, exaggerated, slightly unhinged little beings that each represent a different part of her personality. Beyond that, it’s EDM runs and being bossed around by Levi — the studio cat who genuinely thinks he’s in charge.
T. Christian Helms is the Founder and Creative Director of Helms Workshop, an award-winning branding agency known for building brands that don’t just communicate; they connect.
Over the past 15+ years, Christian has led strategy and creative for a wide range of brands: from bourbon to bone broth, from boutique hotels to craft breweries. He has partnered with household names like Jack Daniel’s and Hershey, as well as cult-favorite startups like Austin Beerworks and Howler Bros, helping them find their voice, shape their story, and bring value to people’s lives.
Several years ago, Christian was blindsided by Lyme disease and Ehrlichiosis that went undiagnosed for over a year. He went from leading a thriving agency to struggling to walk across a room. The healing journey was long, weird, and wildly unconventional. But through it, he had an epiphany: the same tools he used to build world-class brands—clarity, storytelling, design, and purpose—could be used to rebuild his life.
Since then, Christian has spoken across the country, sharing insights on creative identity, lateral thinking, personal branding, and how to find wonder in the chaos. He believes branding isn’t just a business tool, it’s a blueprint for building the career and the life you want.
Tina Larsson is the co-founder of The Folson Group, New York’s premier co-op and condo consultancy.
She organized a board coup in her own NYC building, uncovered a $340,000 financial drain nobody was tracking, and accidentally built a 12-year business out of it.
She and her husband Mark Foley now help co-op and condo boards across NYC run their buildings like the businesses they actually are.
She is the author of Living the High Life, frequent podcast guest and speaker, and holds a LEED Green Associate designation.
Tina is on a mission to support NYC condo and co-op boards optimize their buildings, because smart coop and condo boards don’t go it alone.
I’m a Canadian entrepreneur and dad of two (ages 5 and 8) who, approaching 40, asked myself a simple question: if the good old days are right now, what’s our plan to make them count?
The answer was to rent out our house, pack up our lives, and travel full-time with our kids while building a bootstrapped snack brand. No team, no investors, just a product I believe in and the willingness to figure it out on the road.
Chuck came out of a real need. Traveling with kids means you’re constantly hunting for food that’s convenient, clean, and that they’ll actually eat.
