Candice Grobler

Candice Grobler

Candice Grobler is the founder of Candid Collab, a systems-savvy community consultancy helping solo founders and stretched teams build community-led marketing engines that scale revenue.

After a CPTSD diagnosis and a “you’re unemployable” jab from a well-meaning manager, Candice left the cubicle grind to forge a new model: one where neuro-spicy, outside-the-norm entrepreneurs could thrive through mentorship, scrappy systems, and candid community.

Today, she’s a sought-after mentor and speaker known for transforming sticky-note chaos into streamlined workflows and turning feast-or-famine floundering into steady, soul-aligned revenue. Her live talks, workshops, and interviews blend radical candour with practical playbooks, because life’s too short to build someone else’s empire (or burn out building your own).

Candice has helped dozens of founders grow recurring revenue, reduce burnout, and build communities that market for them, without agency retainers, bro-marketing gloss, or a selling out.

Kai Zen Bickle

Kai Zen Bickle is a whistleblower and award-winning survivor advocate (Voice of the Voiceless – CHILD USA and Champion for Human Rights and Social Justice – University of Toledo / Wrigley Foundation), and cofounder & Chief Ethics Officer of OpenBGI.
In the high-stakes race to AGI, Kai warns we are facing one of the most critical moments in human history: a razor-thin window to establish a robust AI moral constitution before recursive self-improvement begins. Once AGI can rewrite and improve itself, the chance for meaningful human control may be lost forever.
Through OpenBGI, he is leading by example — building the gold standard for a decentralized, truth-seeking AI constitution: a living global working document that every AGI project can incorporate. In his talks and upcoming The AGI Race podcast, Kai draws urgent attention to warnings from top thinkers like Elon Musk and Geoffrey Hinton, while presenting practical solutions for beneficial AGI that protects human sovereignty and long-term flourishing.
