Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future

Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future

The Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future The old ways of doing business—bro marketing, manipulative persuasion tactics, and chasing success at any cost—are breaking down. The Business Growth Architect Show is for those who are here to build what comes next. Hosted by Beate Chelette, this show is for the Founders of the Future—the ones who have heard the call, felt the activation, and know it’s time to lead differently. You’re not just here to make money. You want to use your skill set to make a difference. You’re building a business around your purpose, your experience, and your desire to impact others. You’re a conscious leader who believes that alignment, resonance, and integrity matter just as much as systems, scale, and strategy. In each episode, we speak with the people who are building the future we actually want to live in—innovators, business architects, thought leaders, and disruptors who share the mindset, methods, frameworks, and tools to build scalable, purpose-driven businesses. You’ll learn how to shape your intellectual property into a clear business model, how to grow without burning out, and how to lead with vision while staying grounded in what really matters. If you’re done with outdated formulas and ready to build something real, sustainable, and rooted in who you truly are—this is your show.

I invited Maria Brinck, founder of Zynergy International, and author of The Leadership We Need, to help me unpack this uncomfortable truth. 


Maria argues we have accepted being led by bullies and that our subconscious bias to...
