Marline C Duroseau was born and raised in sunny Miami, FL to Haitian immigrants.   Marline remained destined to make my parents proud. She can confidently accept and describe herself as a grounded, humble, and accomplished woman. She is a successful CFO, CPA, and Leadership Executive, Financial Professional, with a 22-year professional career. She is also an Educator, a Doctoral candidate, and an Entrepreneur. Author and Speaker are the additional accomplishments Marline can now add to the list.   What started as an outlet to cope and express her feelings while dealing with Infertility and child loss, has resulted in her first published work, titled “It’ll Happen By 30: A Relentless Journey of Faith | Delayed but not Denied.” After launching the company, MCD Business Enterprise LLC (MCDBE), Marline is now an Entrepreneur who sets out to empower and help build confidence among her fellow female cohorts. “Women Matter” is the motto behind the driving force that keeps her going.   Her professional leadership experience serves as the foundation the company, MCDBE. Woman, You Matter, is among the motivational messages she leads with to empower those that appear on her path. Hopefully, that gives her clients the trust and strength they need to share their stories, seek help, and advocate for themselves in all roles they occupy. Providing talks as a thought-leader in the fertility industry as a Fertility Advocate and Leadership Professional is important to Marline and serves as a priority to empower others, especially women.   Before becoming an Entrepreneur, she worked her way up the corporate ladder and cultivated a 20+ year professional career. Now a licensed CPA, Chief Financial Officer, and Leadership/Financial Executive, Marline stands out with her ability to allow everyone around her to shine. It is important to be surrounded by the best. One can only be the best with the help of an awesome team. She leads in a manner that taps into the strengths of those who work with her to allow them to perform at their utmost capacity while also cultivating efficiency and productivity for the company.   Mentoring is important to Marline because she is a direct product of fantastic mentoring. That, in addition to her educational credentials, work ethic, and unending ambition, are just some of the things that helped her excel professionally. It was not easy at the slightest hint of anyone’s imagination, especially when having to still thrive and perform during turbulent times professionally and personally. However, having the will to keep going and not give up, really helps to keep that engine running. A lesson she learned along the way that also served as a way to overcome challenges was asking questions, yes, asking questions. The more you know, the more you grow!   It is important for the world to know that MCD Business Enterprise and Marline, believe in women. Women Matter! When people seek her leadership or fertility services, buy her books, or request a conversation, she allows them an inviting and safe space to feel validated. Because of her lived experiences and relatability factor, her brand stands to reach and help countless women believe in themselves and advocate for what they believe in or strive for personally and professionally.   Marline knows what it takes to cultivate a successful leadership career despite the countless obstacles faced while on that quest to grow and improve. She wants to share her story and give people tips on how to effectively present and succeed in the workplace, how to use mentorship as a way to give back, and how to cultivate an environment that fosters authentic capacity by embracing one's team and empowering them to be their best. Marline serves as a fertility coach. She knows how it feels when you're trying to conceive and it seems like nothing is going your way, like most things in life. Marline is a walking testimony to what resilience and hard work are.   In addition to her 1st book, mentioned above, Marline has authored 2 additional books. They are children’s books: Kason and Kamden: Yes We’re Twins But I’m Still Me, and KB The Bossy Rainbow Baby. These books were written by Marline to instill independence, confidence, and acceptance in the youth. Empowered children become empowered adults. As such, Marline travels to schools across the nation to host reading and literacy workshops for the students. Not only do they actively engage in the sessions, they leave with a renewed sense of empowerment, feeling they belong, and with the ability to embrace what makes them each unique.   Keeping in line with the Christian teachings of offering time, talent, and treasure, Marline volunteers in a multitude of capacities. Marline proudly serves as the Chairperson for the Finance Committee at the Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She also served as a former CCD (religious education) instructor for the church in an effort to give back to the faith community and enrich the younger generation. As the Treasurer for her local Home Owners’ Association, she volunteers her time to ensure the residential community functions well to meet the needs of her fellow homeowners. Furthermore, Marline is a Board member and serves as the Chief Financial Officer with the non-profit organization, Filling Empty Wombs, Inc, to further assist, bring awareness, and advocate for the fertility community that are too often voiceless.   Marline is celebrating 22 years of marriage to her husband, Kevens, and they have four sons. Needless to say, they keep her busy and on her feet. When not working, Kevens and Marline enjoy finding new ways to cultivate their family dynamic while raising their boys.   Please do not hesitate to reach out to Marline at: www.mcdbe.com; info@mcdbe.com; IG: @mcdbe; X: @mcdbe_ ; LinkedIn and Facebook: Marline C Duroseau Marline C.

I knew from a young age that my life was always going to centre around helping and supporting others, which has been further highlighted in my career and pathway choices, through years of learning and training, as an employee and now as a Coach and Healer. I grew up in a large family where I looked after my young siblings and was a carer from a young age, helping my parents whilst they were at work. When I reached an age to decide on a vocation and career, I chose teaching, especially as I had a love for my subject area of History. I always believed, and still do, that learning about our past can help us make better choices for our future, both collectively as humans and as individuals. Learning about my heritage and about the world shaped how I felt about my environment and what I could do to help others. My faith as a Sikh is about being of service to others but ensuring I stay true to myself, values I hold very dear and underpin my life and healing practice. In 1999 I was first introduced to delivering sessions on motivation and confidence building, which was an early framework of coaching. However, the importance of coaching and self-development was not fully recognised as it is today, therefore I didn’t initially pursue this avenue as a career although it felt very familiar and authentic to me. Then in 2013, I was once again drawn to coaching and decided to pursue formal training. The realisation of what a difference coaching can make to an individual’s life when they engage in a coaching session, was very profound. When my client took steps to work towards eliminating their limiting beliefs and realising their potential, it is such a joy to witness how their perspective aboout their life changed completely and they raised their awareness on their self evolution. As my coaching journey progressed, I came to realise and understand that the individuals I was working with and attracting to my business were holding pain, trauma and often a negative belief system. At this time, alongside my professional coaching I embarked further on my own journey, connecting into my spiritual work. At first I did not realise that in the future these two areas of my life would become greatly intertwined. Initially when I trained to become an Akashic Records reader and Healer, I kept the two sides of my work very separate. However, slowly my intuition guided me to help support my clients in the various areas of their lives by combining traditional coaching techniques and models such as goal setting but to include practices such as visualisation, meditation, releasing and manifesting. This holistic combination has worked well towards healing and awakening my clients’ desire to let go of experiences, thoughts, emotions and beliefs that no longer serve them and then to move forward by engaging in making changes so that they could embrace the opportunity to living their most purposeful life. Authenticity, transformation, acceptance and being purposeful are all important elements of my practice, but ultimately my work is about holistically and energetically supporting the healing process of the person I am working with, which can take various forms from talking, meditating, laughing and crying - all with large doses of compassion, kindness and love.   Apinder Sidhu Executive Contributor Intuitive Coach and Healer Executive Contributors at Brainz Magazine are handpicked and invited to contribute because of their knowledge and valuable insight within their area of expertise.

Ryan Anthony King: Innovating Learning & Leadership Creativity has driven Ryan Anthony King’s journey, fueling his passion for innovation, problem-solving, and leadership development. Growing up in New York City and immersed in the performing arts, he developed a love for producing and directing, which later translated into teaching and mentoring future leaders. While creativity came naturally, traditional learning was a challenge. As an introvert, Ryan struggled in school but found his passion through hands-on experience. He began studying music education at the University of Texas in San Antonio but took time off for self-discovery. This led him to early childhood education, where he realized the power of customized, exploratory learning in fostering a love for knowledge. His methodology helped young students excel in reading, math, and social skills. In 2012, Ryan founded Monday Night Connect, an online ministry supporting marginalized communities seeking spiritual and personal growth. This evolved into the Faith Community Foundation, which empowered future leaders through professional development, remote workforce solutions, and community engagement—especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ryan’s career path led him back to school to study Human Resources and Business Management. He thrived in start-up environments, building training programs from the ground up. In Dallas, he helped staff teachers for the Independent School District before leading training and leadership initiatives at Trinity Event Staffing. His operations, compliance, and team development expertise strengthened Trinity’s HR and L&D functions. At Amazon (Prime Now), Ryan was key in helping to onboard 400 Whole Foods stores in 2017, leveraging data-driven insights through Salesforce and Tableau. After moving to California in 2018, he helped launch Amazon Go stores, implementing innovative learning and operational solutions. His passion for change management and process improvement led him to mission-driven work with San Francisco Goodwill and Walmart e-commerce, where he specialized in compliance, collaboration, and organizational growth. A published compliance author for Wells Fargo, Ryan also created Lead to Succeed, a leadership development program. As an expert in system migrations, he has supported transitions at Amazon, First Republic Bank, and StoragePRO Management. In 2024, he built a dynamic learning culture at StoragePRO, integrating operational, technological, and growth-focused training solutions. With Six Sigma training from Google, Ryan continues to revolutionize learning and development, drive work-life balance initiatives, and shape the leaders of tomorrow.
