Giovanni Brees is a founder, product strategist, author, and speaker. He builds companies that run on AI systems instead of big teams. 25 years of product launches and half a billion dollars raised For more than 25 years, his work has revolved around product launches and driving revenue growth - for small and medium-sized businesses, groundbreaking startups, and multinationals alike. He ran a boutique agency that marketed some of the best-known brands in the world, and a product validation and launch operation that took more than 4,500 products to market and helped founders raise over 500 million USD through crowdfunding alone, reaching audiences of hundreds of millions. Along the way, he became a trusted partner to Fortune 500 companies and an advisor on product launches, new market entries, and strategic growth for leading companies including Bain, P&G, and WordPress. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Bloomberg, Forbes, The Guardian, The Huffington Post, and Mashable. Then he rebuilt everything Twenty-five years of launches, validations, and agency work gave him one clear insight: the bottleneck is always the same. People. Time. Overhead. So when he exited the agency business, he refused to do the obvious thing - build another one, bigger. He rebuilt everything instead. Today, he runs Meet Oscar and CiteEngine with no full-time employees - only AI agents that handle outreach, content, pipelines, and operations autonomously. Every day. Whether he is in the room or not. And now he is building KentoHQ - the infrastructure that lets other businesses do the same: a roster of AI teammates with verification built in and a human decision at every boundary that matters. The books He wrote the operating manual for this way of working. The Zero-Employee Company is the book on replacing headcount with AI agents: how to turn roles into systems, wire them together, trust but verify their output, and keep human judgment exactly where it belongs. No hype, no dream-selling - the real model, including the parts that break. He is also the author of The Crowdfunding Quick Guide (2024 and 2026 Editions), drawn from the campaigns behind more than half a billion dollars raised. Speaking and advisory He speaks and advises on AI-first operations, zero-employee businesses, product launches, go-to-market strategy, and crowdfunding - for founders who want leverage without headcount, and for companies that want to understand what work looks like when systems do the doing and humans do the judging.

Professional Speaker | Author | TV Personality | Brand Storyteller
Leominster, Massachusetts
Ronny LeBlanc has built a career by following curiosity—and turning unconventional ideas into stories, brands, books, television, and experiences that connect with people. A bestselling author, television personality, researcher, speaker, storyteller, and marketing professional, Ronny brings together a rare combination of media experience, entrepreneurship, creativity, communication, branding, and fearless curiosity. Known to television audiences from Discovery Channel’s Expedition Bigfoot and Travel Channel’s Paranormal Caught on Camera, Ronny is the author of three books exploring Bigfoot, UFOs, consciousness, unexplained phenomena, and the mysteries that challenge our understanding of reality. But the unknown is only one part of his story. Before television, Ronny built a career in advertising, digital marketing, sales, branding, content creation, and business development. He has helped organizations tell their stories, launch ideas, build audiences, create memorable experiences, and turn attention into action. His own unconventional journey—from musician and filmmaker to marketing executive, entrepreneur, author, television personality, researcher, and professional speaker—has given him a perspective that can’t be learned from a textbook. At the center of Ronny’s talks is a simple idea: curiosity changes lives. Whether he is discussing extraordinary mysteries, personal reinvention, storytelling, marketing an idea, building an authentic personal brand, navigating change, creativity, consciousness, or finding purpose, he encourages audiences to question assumptions and recognize possibilities they may have overlooked. His philosophy can be summed up in three words: Passion. Path. Purpose. Find what genuinely excites you. Have the courage to pursue it. Then discover how your experiences—even the unexpected ones—can become part of something meaningful. Ronny’s presentations combine storytelling, humor, real-world experience, compelling visuals, audience interaction, and practical takeaways. He can take audiences deep into the forests searching for Bigfoot, behind the scenes of national television, inside the mysteries of consciousness—or into a completely different conversation about how to build a brand, sell an idea, reinvent yourself, communicate authentically, and turn curiosity into opportunity. Ronny doesn’t ask audiences to simply accept what he believes. He challenges them to think differently about what they believe is possible—for the world, their careers, their ideas, and themselves.

In 2018, we started a coaching business, just one client at a time, solving real problems for small business owners who were overwhelmed, losing money, or simply couldn’t get their teams to execute. We called it Accountability Now because that’s what was missing: accountability, structure, and clear follow-through. One of our early clients was Noomii.com, a coaching directory with potential but no real direction. We worked closely with them, helping the company grow from the inside. Six years later, we came back and bought the business. That’s the story. Today, I lead Accountability Now and Noomii.com. At Accountability Now, we work with small business owners who are trying everything but nothing’s moving fast enough. We help them focus, fix what’s broken, and build a business that works better than it did before. At Noomii, we support coaches who want to grow real practices. Not just get more leads, but actually build something that lasts. In an industry full of people preying on coaches with empty promises, we do the opposite we offer tools, community, and actual results. I’m also the author of SCORE, a framework that challenges everything we’ve been taught about scaling a business and accountability. We’ve misunderstood it for decades. Accountability isn’t just a leadership skill. It’s the catalyst of epic performance and, when misused, the addiction behind toxic cultures and bad behavior. I also contribute to Forbes and serve as Head of the Forbes AI Council, where I lead deep, honest conversations with top experts about what AI is really doing to business, leadership, and work. These aren’t surface-level talks. They’re the conversations that matter, grounded in the real-world impact AI is already having. With Accountabiltiy Now helped hundreds of business owners regain control of their companies. With Noomii, we've helped thousands of coaches get better at what they do and get paid for it. We didn’t start with a big vision. We started by solving one hard problem after another. And we’re still doing it.
