Michelle Smith LeDrew & Trace Hansen

Michelle Smith LeDrew and Trace Hansen bring decades of business, leadership, and community impact to the stage together.
Michelle is a professional stylist and owner of Glam Boutique, with 30+ years in the fashion industry.

Trace is the owner of Eastlake Skating Center (Warsaw) and Holiday Skating Center (Elkhart). A former Everett, WA police officer, he left law enforcement in 2007 to pursue his dream of building a business that serves families and impacts youth. A three-time Team USA Skating member and 2019 Roller Sports Hall of Fame inductee, Trace has held national leadership roles with the US Olympic Committee and USA Roller Sports, and remains deeply active in the Warsaw community through organizations like Joe's Kids and Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Together, this husband-and-wife duo knows what it takes to build something meaningful, from the ground up, while staying rooted in family and community.
Jamie Nau
Keynote
Meet Jamie Nau, founder of Grow Nau, joining us for The Grow and Socialize ALL IN Summit! Jamie serves leaders who are tired of being told to work harder, innovate faster, or "just communicate better," while the actual thing running their business keeps getting ignored: them. Their patterns. Their blind spots. The reaction they can't explain, the hard conversation they keep rescheduling, the version of leadership they inherited and never actually chose.
Jamie coaches senior leaders and business owners to catch invisible (but limiting) patterns before familiar behaviors cost them the deal, the team, or the marriage. Six months in, her clients haven't just learned to manage their frustrations better. They've dismantled unhelpful habits and replaced them with a values-based leadership style so unwavering it changes entire cultures and delivers results that make you double-take.
This isn't a talk about "soft skills." It's about the edge you get when you stop letting unconscious reactions and emotions drain your most powerful and generative energy.
Jamie will call you to the table and hand you the tools to go ALL IN on growth so bold you haven't even permitted yourself to claim it yet.
Breakout Speakers
Shannon Simmons
Breakout Speaker
Founder and CEO of Fit For Profit, joining us for The Grow and Socialize ALL IN Summit!
Her session, "The Owner Pay Fix: A System for Paying Yourself Like You Mean It," tackles a truth most business owners avoid: you know your revenue, but do you know what you actually paid yourself last month?
Using the Profit First framework, Shannon will walk you through a real system for making owner pay a fixed, non-negotiable line item, not whatever's left over. Practical, actionable, and ready to use the moment you leave the room.
If you're ready to stop treating your paycheck as an afterthought and start paying yourself like the CEO you are, this is the session for you.
Billy Khorshid
Breakout Speaker
Billy is the co-owner of Khorporate Holdings Inc., a family business made up of nine companies spanning metals, plastics, automation, wiring, and more.
As President of Bralin Laser Services and Electri-Tec, Billy has spent his career leading through exactly the kind of growth, change, and challenges most business owners eventually face: scaling operations, navigating acquisitions, and making the hard calls that shape a company's future. He's also the co-founder of TBD Studios, a media company creating cinematic educational content around skilled trades, STEM, and conservation, and a committed community advocate serving on the Executive Board of Junior Achievement and the Fort Wayne Zoo Board.
His session, "The Next Move: Leading Through Growth, Change & Challenges," draws directly from that experience. Whether you're launching your first business, growing your current one, or acquiring another, every stage brings new obstacles. Billy will share how successful business owners develop the mindset to solve problems, make difficult decisions, and stay focused on long-term goals instead of getting stuck in the day-to-day.
Hope Matchett
Breakout Speaker
Hope Matchett is the Founder and CEO of The Red Stiletto, one of the largest bridal hair and makeup teams in the country.
Since founding the company in 2010, Hope has grown The Red Stiletto from a single artist into a nationally recognized team serving more than 300 weddings annually throughout the Midwest and beyond. A MAC Master Makeup Artist with over 16 years in the beauty and wedding industries, she's built her business around exceptional artistry, operational consistency, and an employee-based team model that delivers a reliable client experience at scale.
Her session, "Systems & Structure to Create Freedom and Keep Your Sanity," is built for the salon owner ready to step away from the day-to-day and move fully into leadership. Hope will share what she's learned about building strong teams, creating scalable systems, and raising the standard of professionalism in the beauty industry, so you can lead your business instead of running yourself ragged inside it.
If you're ready to trade burnout for structure, this is the session for you.
Sedina Bear
Breakout Speaker
Sedina is a real estate agent, but more importantly, someone who believes in serving people well. Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions a person can make, and her goal is to make sure clients feel educated, confident, and supported every step of the way. She doesn't believe in simply opening doors and writing contracts; she believes in building relationships, answering questions, and helping people make decisions that are right for their families. As an immigrant who has called the United States home for nearly three decades, Sedina is passionate about dreaming big, working hard, and helping others believe their dreams are possible too.
Her session, "The Non-Negotiables of Building a Client Relationship," draws directly from that philosophy. Using her experience in real estate, Sedina will share how clear expectations, strong boundaries, and exceptional service create healthier, more successful client relationships.
If you're ready to build client relationships that actually last, this is the session for you.
Whitney Bandemer
Breakout Speaker
How much of your confidence is actually built on truth, and how much is just built on how you're feeling that day?
Whitney's session, "Confidence Formula: Truth > Feelings," challenges leaders to stop letting emotions define their self-worth and decisions, and instead build confidence on something sturdier: truth. Through personal storytelling and a practical framework, she'll explore what it looks like to develop identity-rooted, authentic confidence instead of confidence built on performance or feelings.
Whitney will share her own journey through the gap between the stories we inherit or invent about ourselves and what's actually true. From there, she'll introduce three principles for leading boldly: understanding your emotional intelligence, aligning your behavior with your core values, and building a support network of people who genuinely want to help.
The session closes with Whitney's practical Confidence Formula, a tool for turning self-doubt into grounded confidence, plus a reflective exercise to apply it to your own life.
If you're ready to lead from truth instead of doubt, this is the session for you.
Maddison Knafel & Tony Moore

Succession Planning: Three Things You Need to Do This Week
You've spent years building your business, but have you thought about what happens when you're no longer the one running it? Succession planning isn't just for large companies or owners nearing retirement. Whether your long-term goal is to sell, pass your business to the next generation, transition ownership to a partner or employee, or simply build a company that doesn't rely entirely on you, the decisions you make now matter.
In this practical Day 2 session, Maddison Knafel and Tony Moore of Northwestern Mutual will break succession planning down into approachable, actionable steps. You'll identify where your business currently stands, the conversations and protections you may be missing, and three things you can take action on this week to start building a stronger future for your business.
