Coming to America!

Since January 2024, I have been participating in the mentorship program of Kane Minkus and Alessia Minkus from Industry Rockstar My trip to America was primarily aimed at meeting them in person and exploring collaboration opportunities in the field of VR Coaching with our platform The VR Coaches/ Immersive Experts. And there are possibilities! 🙂 I will share more about this soon.

In person, Alessia and Kane are just as inspiring as they are via Zoom. For over 20 years, Kane has been helping entrepreneurs with business growth, and since 2006, he has been doing this together with Alessia. Check out their work here.

​I had lunch with them several times, which was not only professionally beneficial but also very enjoyable.

What particularly attracted me was their extensive knowledge of AI. I connected with them through their program "AI Assisted Entrepreneur" and immediately knew they were the right mentors for me. At CaptainVR, we have developed an AI avatar coach app called the Captain App, which helps people lead happy, healthy, and effective lives, enabling them to become the captain of their own lives again. With their guidance, I hope to successfully bring this app to the market.

​I also attended the AI Business Masterclass organized by Kane and Alessia in Scottsdale, Arizona, on May 16th, where I met many fantastic people.

Besides being a mentor, coach, and consultant, Kane is also a talented musician. I had the pleasure of seeing him play and sing live in the piano bar. I was there with Samara Beth Hurley, who is also part of the mentorship program. We had an incredible amount of fun.

We sang, laughed, and danced. At one point, Kane was even singing while standing on chairs and tables. It was truly fantastic!
