  • This episode of Founders in the Wild features an extraordinary entrepreneur who has carved out unique success stories across oceans and industries. David Halton, the founder and CEO of BodyPlus International and the former owner of the Sendai 89ers basketball team, joins us to share his incredible journey.

    From a rough-and-tumble childhood in Calgary, Alberta, to building a business empire in Japan, David's story is nothing short of cinematic. Facing the adversity of limited finances and a gang-related past, he turned his life around dramatically. With gritty resilience, he secured distributorship for US brands to market them in Japan—despite starting out from a tiny apartment with minimal funds—fueling his rise from a bodybuilding show nutritional supplement salesman to sports and wellness mogul.

    David's tale is replete with plot twists: encountering factory presidents he mistook for janitors, pitching his life into a business gamble with no money, and navigating a foreign business landscape with sheer determination and savvy. Now, his focus has shifted to the multi-billion dollar potential of mineral water reserves, proving that his entrepreneurial spirit knows no bounds.

    Join us for an episode that delves into the importance of self-belief, the power of adaptability, and the sheer force of personal investment in pursuit of success. David's insights promise to inspire and shed light on the wild journey of entrepreneurship. So, let's gear up to take a deep dive into this episode of Founders in the Wild.

  • This episode of Founders in the Wild features Tanis Jorge, serial entrepreneur and author of The Co-founder’s Handbook. Tanis shares the stories of her first business and some highlights from the last 20 years, when she cofounded, scaled, and successfully exited multiple, data-driven businesses with the same partner.

    Her successes culminated with her most recent venture, Trulioo, which she co-founded in 2011. Between 2011 and 2015, Tanis served as Chief Operations Officer of Trulioo, working to lay the groundwork and build the foundation for the trusted, innovative, and disruptive company it has become today. In 2021, Trulioo reached "unicorn" status, solidifying both its place as the world’s leading identity verification company and Jorge’s track record for founding successful businesses.

    Tanis shares some advice from her book, The Co-founder’s Handbook as well as a founder resource, The Co-founder’s Hub and her newest venture, the Live Learn Launch Academy.
