Meagan Hopper

"“You said exactly what it was I needed to hear” was the first feedback Meagan ever received when she opened her alternative health & wellness business over 7 years ago. Since then, she has gone on to connect with thousands of people world-wide hosting The Cacao Crowd podcast, speaking at global summits, moderating virtual cacao ceremonies with attendees from every region of the globe, and coaching clients in a one-on-one environment. Meagan’s infectious enthusiasm and energy fills each room she enters, inviting everyone to allow their own magic to shine through and step into their empowered selves. Meagan sees things in ways that others may not, often asking the uncomfortable but thought-provoking questions you never realized you were waiting to hear. She uses her unique style combining a loving friend, a comedian, social science case studies, and her 9-5 persona as a construction project manager, to connect with every person in her audience, from 1 to 1,000. Using real-world examples from an array of consenting clients as well as her own daily experiences, Meagan can empower each individual to make changes, take steps, and feel excitement toward what they’re inherently capable of. As someone with one foot set in the world of spirit animals, energy healing, soundbaths, and cacao, and the other heartily in corporate America, Meagan is able to bridge the gap we’ve allowed to be created between productivity and play. Meagan’s goal is to make sure “getting through the day” is a phrase of the past."

Waleed Soro

Business owner

Born poor in Iraq, I came to America at age 17 after my father was assassinated. Then the "land of opportunity" became MY land of infinite possibilities. Through every challenge, I was able to remain connected with my heart, joy, and remain optimistic. I started and built a food manufacturing company into a national brand, among other exciting entrepreneurial ventures. I married the woman of my dreams and raised three beautiful children. My personal stories (many quite humorous) all come from the heart and qualify me to speak on how to "never have a bad day."
