Metaora Technologies helps appointment-based and service businesses stop losing revenue from missed calls and slow follow-up. We install an AI-powered front office system that answers calls, captures leads, books appointments, follows up instantly, and supports businesses even after hours. Rather than replacing employees, Metaora helps teams become more responsive, efficient, and available so every customer inquiry has a better chance of becoming revenue. Our mission is simple: help businesses protect the opportunities they already worked hard to create.

L.P. Enterprises helps small and medium size restaurant groups streamline purchasing with precision, insight, and proven expertise – saving time, reducing costs, and protecting brand standards since 2001.

Chances are you have spent years honing those skills revolving around the ownership, operation and management of restaurants and hotels. An OPE has spent his years focusing on foodservice purchasing, negotiations and problem solving. You could master the intricacies of that profession, but is it worth your time?

Most of us are unwilling to invest the time necessary to learn a separate discipline. After all, that’s why we hire accountants.In looking at the large corporate players in our industry, we usually find that each has a purchasing department with a full staff of experts to maximize bottom-line results. Now, the same bottom-line expertise is available to small- and medium-sized restaurant chains – even independents – in the form of an OPE. In tough times, this can be a powerful survival mechanism.

Wendy & Richard Burnham | Serenity Shore Coffee

At Serenity Shore Coffee, we believe a cup of coffee can do far more than start your morning—it can spark hope, restore dignity, and help rewrite someone’s story. From day one, we made a bold commitment: 40% of every profit goes directly to the fight against human trafficking. This isn’t a marketing angle. It’s a mission anchored in Scripture and inspired by the transformative meaning of the number 40—a biblical symbol of renewal, deliverance, and new beginnings.

MaryElizabeth Luzier | TravelCore Collective

Most travel advisors dabble. MaryElizabeth specializes. For five years, she’s done one thing exceptionally well: planning European river cruises for people who refuse to settle for a mediocre trip. She knows every ship on the Rhine, every cabin upgrade worth requesting on the Danube, every hidden gem on the Seine, and exactly when to book the Douro before it sells out. When you work with her, you’re not getting a booking agent — you’re getting someone who has already solved the exact problem you’re facing.

Legacy Spotlight with host Adrienne Carr

Dr. Dharius Daniels

What does it mean to build a truly lasting legacy? In this exclusive Legacy Spotlight, host Adrienne Carr sits down with Dr. Dharius Daniels—entrepreneur, pastor, author, and transformational coach—to challenge traditional metrics of success. Together, they shift the focus away from mere organizational growth to target the ultimate goal of elite leadership: driving high-impact business and cultural transformation.

This feature delivers a masterclass in marketplace Relational Intelligence (RQ)—the framework for helping leaders self-optimize without self-destructing. Gwinnett leaders Jay Dennard (President, Gwinnett Hospital Foundation and System Vice President for Governmental and Community Affairs, Northside Hospital) and Anne McGhee (CEO and Principal, D&L Contracting Services) join the conversation to tackle real-world executive hurdles. Together, they unpack how to flip toxic workplace dynamics and balance empathy with decisive accountability in high-stakes environments.

Ultimately, Dr. Daniels opens up about his personal legacy blueprint, sharing a powerful “reverse-engineering” eulogy exercise from his coaching framework. He reveals what it truly means for him to win when the organizational dust settles—not by the scale of what he built, but by the profound, life-changing transformation he leaves behind. Tune in to hear this unforgettable, intimate definition of a legacy-driven life.

Meet the Host: Adrienne Carr

Founder & CEO, Ascent Communications

For more than two decades, Adrienne Carr thrived in the high-stakes world of national television news. As an Emmy-nominated producer, senior producer, and executive producer at CNN, MSNBC, HLN, The Weather Channel, and Scripps News, she shaped stories that informed millions, guided coverage of historic events, and led elite teams through moments where every word mattered. Her career in national journalism was defined by calm leadership under pressure, a sharp instinct for what resonates, and an innate ability to elevate talent and messaging at the highest levels.

Today, Adrienne brings that exact same national newsroom precision to the corporate boardroom as the host of Legacy Spotlight and the Founder and CEO of Ascent Communications.

As a trusted strategic advisor, Adrienne empowers C-suite executives, senior leaders, organizations and teams to move past simple information delivery and communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact.
