The future of business leadership is looking brighter every day. The following 7 leaders are set to take the globe by storm because of their ability to adapt to societal changes, innovate and break down gender norms.

Here are the top 7 entrepreneurs to get inspired by in 2022:

1. Dan Fleyshman – Model Citizen Fund

As the youngest ever founder of a publicly-traded company, Dan Fleyshman has been navigating the waters of entrepreneurship since the age of 23. Selling more than 15 million dollars worth of clothing to department store chains across the nation, Mr. Fleyshman has parlayed his success into the “Who’s Your Daddy” energy drink, landing in 55,000 retail stores.

Now an avid angel investor with a financial stake in more than 36 companies, Fleyshman can be found on the cutting edge of innovation and boundary-breaking efforts. Fleyshman has contributed to many industries throughout his career, including helping to launch one of the top 5 online poker sites on the planet. A diverse approach to investing and a nose for opportunity has turned Fleyshman into one of the most prominent young angel investors in the tech and mobile arenas.

When Fleyshman isn’t working on new projects, he passionately supports his charity, the Model Citizen Fund, which supplies homeless shelters with backpacks filled with emergency supplies.

In addition to his current moonshots, Jain is the vice chairman of the Board at Singularity University, where he focuses on educating and inspiring leaders to utilize innovative technologies to address humanity’s greatest challenges.

3. Tessa White – ‘The Job Doctor’

Having inspired more than 10,000 people across industries ranging from tech and healthcare to direct sales, Tessa White has more than earned her title of The Job Doctor.

A reformed Fortune 500 human resources executive, White spent more than 20 years developing and designing winning human capital strategies. Now, White is reengineering her passion by focusing on who matters most: the hardworking individual doing their best to build a better future.

A renowned thought leader and workplace innovator, White can be followed on TikTok where she shares daily insights on career navigation. White is also preparing to release a 12-week Mentoring Course for corporations looking to engage and grow talent.

4. Darwin Enriquez – Inknation

Breathed to life by Darwin Enriquez and Zhimpa Moreno, Inknation was founded in 2021 in the heart of New York City. As one of the best tattoo shops in NYC, Inknation was built on the idea that ink unites, a nod to the brotherhood formed between Enriquez and Moreno.

A safe, clean space for world-renowned tattoo artists to ply their trade, Inknation is fueled by the integral Enriquez’s work. Upon entering the world of body art at the age of 20 while living in Venezuela, Enriquez would earn the opportunity to work in a professional studio, eventually attending conventions while accruing critical acclaim for his work.

Throughout his journey, Enriquez would home in on the artwork that most appealed to him, eventually developing the darker style that he is known for today. As one of the best tattoo artists in NYC, Enriquez can be reached for a consultation through the Inknation platform.

Considered one of the best realism tattoo artist shops in the city, clients and artists alike work together in concert to develop unique imagery that will withstand the test of time.

Inknation features state-of-the-art technology in a penthouse suite with an epic view of Manhattan. Clients can enjoy relaxation in the lap of luxury while receiving world-class realistic ink from world-renowned artists.

6. Keith Zivalich – Magic Weighted Blanket

Did you know that more than 40 million adults are diagnosed with anxiety every single year in the United States? A common yet treatable condition, anxiety can be addressed in several different ways – including through the Magic Weighted Blanket. The concept of a weighted blanket was first introduced by Keith Zivalich in 1997, inspired by when his daughter placed a beanie baby on his shoulder. Zivalich would utilize deep pressure touch stimulation therapy (DPTS) as the foundation of his heavy blanket creation. Ideal for better sleep while providing anxiety relief and stress relief, Zivalich’s anxiety blanket wouldn’t truly explode until 2016.

As a family-focused entrepreneur, Zivalich knew that patience and passion were integral to the success of his concepts. Zivalich is looking to the future while seeking inspiration from his past. Taking the concept of the magic blanket to the next level, Zivalich’s company would develop the Zero Gravity Bean Bag. Inspired by NASA technology, the Zero Gravity Bean Bag elevates your legs above your heart, providing immediate relief and relaxation.

More than just the inventor of the original weighted blanket for insomnia, stress and better sleep, Zivalich is a focused entrepreneur with a commitment to innovation. Seeking to inspire others to follow in his footsteps, Zivalich announced the Magic Weighted Blanket Sleep Ambassador program for other like-minded entrepreneurs.
