I created Maddie's Hot Take - as social media profile with millions of views, and a Substack with over 40,000 followers.

I'm on national television almost every day as a Democratic strategist or political analyst - and I make a habit out of walking straight into the lion's den.

I spent over a year as a liberal debater on right-wing news channels, and I love to share what I've learned about politics, human nature and bringing people together. I've debated Scott Jennings on CNN and many prominent primetime news anchors. I have always been invited because I treat people with respect and kindness -- and I know how to be myself in difficult and stressful situations.

I'm also an attorney and jury consultant, specializing in human behavior and choice theory.

I wasn't always good at public speaking - but I wanted to share my thoughts and ideas so badly with the world, that I had to train myself how to do it. As a neurodivergent person in this space, I think I have a lot to offer folks who might struggle, just like I did.

Olabamiji Ajisomo helps organisations in regulated industries, where a lack of trust in data is a widespread challenge, to build confidence and drive change. Over nine years in technology have taken him from IT support and network infrastructure through cybersecurity and into his current role at Social Work England, a specialist statutory regulator, where he leads an enterprise-wide data transformation agenda, designing governance architecture, deploying technology, and driving change at the highest levels. He holds a BSc in Information Technology and an MSc in Cybersecurity with Advanced Practice (Distinction) from Teesside University.

Olabamiji speaks and facilitates at corporate and industry conferences and contributes to webinars and virtual panels. His workshops are designed to work across the room, giving technical practitioners and leadership teams the depth and context each needs to act. His sessions draw from real experience delivering enterprise-scale data transformation in high-compliance environments.

His commitment to the tech community runs deeper than any single event or platform. As a STEM Ambassador, he volunteers to bring real technology careers to life for young people across the UK. Through Equal Education Chances, a registered UK charity, he works alongside marginalised children and young people, providing mentorship and supporting them to develop the skills and confidence needed to achieve their goals, whatever their circumstances. For Olabamiji, speaking is one part of something larger: a genuine commitment to equipping the next generation to navigate the technology landscape with confidence.

A member of both DAMA International and DAMA UK, he is embedded in the global data management professional community. His central argument is one he returns to repeatedly: cybersecurity and data management are interdependent disciplines, and it is precisely at that intersection where the greatest organisational risk lives and where the most resilient practice begins.

Angelica Pacheco is an independent grassroots conservative leader, registered nurse, and dedicated mother of five who was born and raised in the heart of Hialeah, Florida. Her journey is defined by overcoming significant adversity from a young age, fueling a lifelong commitment to faith, family, and community service. Demonstrating relentless perseverance, she ran for public office unsuccessfully three times before decisively winning her seat on the Hialeah City Council on her fourth attempt, building her network with zero establishment money. Following her electoral triumph, she faced a highly complex, multi-million dollar federal legal challenge in mid-2024. Demonstrating the deep trust of her community, she was decisively elected as a Republican Executive Committeewoman just two months after the onset of the highly public case. Her commitment to transparency and administrative clarity ultimately resulted in the government completely dismissing all core fraud charges, resolving the matter under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 with a probation-only determination. Fully respecting the finality of the judicial process, Angelica continues to channel her energy into local civic advancement, nursing advocacy, and community outreach. As an independent leader, she is a firm believer in the Constitution and remains fiercely dedicated to her mission of protecting our liberties and freedom. As a speaker, she delivers an inspiring blueprint for grassroots candidates and entrepreneurs on how to break through political barriers, manage public crises, and build unbreakable personal resilience.
