Abstract Essay

Anthony Guastella
I have overcome many health challenges. All of them have put me in position to help other people do the same. Eventually I became a certified health coach through the Institute of Transformational Nutrition. I have a strong desire to help because I know what it’s like to not feel well, and do what you want. The content I talk about will equip you with the tools to live a life full of health, freedom, and happiness. Complex health topics are broken down into simple ways to understand. No wellness topic is off limits, whether its heart disease, cancer, diabetes, sleep, hormones, or any other wellness topic.

I help business leaders avoid the twin failures of weak governance and weak messaging.
Podcast audiences want guests who can connect expertise to real-world impact. My work has always been about helping leaders see clearly in the moments when it matters most.
I advise boards, entrepreneurs, and investors through Pholus Advisory, where the focus is on complex markets and high-pressure transitions. Much of my work begins at inflection points: a business preparing for exit, a board under reputational pressure, or an organization where governance and revenue are collapsing at the same time. These are situations where conventional playbooks break down, and leaders need clarity to protect both trust and growth.
People hear words like governance, post-conflict economies, or go-to-market strategy and want to yawn. They sound abstract, but in reality they are some of the most important and interesting challenges leaders face today. That is why I enjoy turning jargon into stories people actually remember. My philosophy is simple: if the audience cannot use it on Monday morning, I have failed them. I do not believe in abstract frameworks. I share the mess, the mistakes, and the plain-spoken lessons that leaders actually carry forward when they face their own problems.
What does that mean for a podcast audience? It means I bring case-based insights, not theories. I can share what actually happens when governance fails, why crises escalate, and how leaders can avoid turning small risks into existential threats. I have advised across the Americas, Africa, and Europe, and those cross-border experiences help me show listeners how fragile environments operate and what that means for their own decision-making.
Beyond governance, I also have a background in direct response marketing and messaging strategy, which gives me a rare perspective: I understand both the discipline required to build internal trust and the storytelling needed to build external credibility. That combination allows me to offer listeners lessons that apply whether they are board members, business owners, entrepreneurs, or NGO leaders.
Hosts who book me get a guest who is serious about preparation and generous with stories and takeaways. Audiences walk away with memorable frameworks and practical insights they can apply immediately; whether that is preparing for a business exit, building investor confidence, or simply learning how to lead under pressure.

Stuart Jones
Author of For the Love of Stephen | Redefining Disability, Dignity & What It Means to Be Fully Human
I’m not coming to your podcast with theory—I’m coming with a story that has been lived.
I’m the author of For the Love of Stephen, a memoir about my brother who lived with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with a foreword by Dr. Temple Grandin and now included in the Library of Congress. His life—and his loss—reshaped how I understand dignity, belonging, faith, and what it truly means to be human.

Professionally, I spent my early career as a minister, then spent 30 years in executive leadership in higher education, and now teach speech communication part-time at the university level. I’ve had the opportunity to speak with audiences across the country and appear on podcasts, where I’m known for thoughtful, engaging, and often unexpectedly humorous conversations.

On your podcast, I help listeners rethink disability, challenge assumptions, deepen empathy, and see others—and themselves—through a more human and inclusive lens.

If your audience is open to a conversation that is heartfelt, honest, and perspective-changing, I would be honored to join you.
