In this episode, Roy Richardson and Sean Murphy sit down with trailblazing founder and CEO Shari Costantini—a woman who has built not one, but two industry-shaping companies.

Shari first scaled Avant Healthcare Professionals into one of the largest international healthcare staffing firms in the U.S., earning national recognition, including EY Entrepreneur of the Year and Orlando Business Journal CEO of the Year. Today, she’s disrupting an entirely different arena as co-founder and CEO of Kismet Technologies, the company behind a first-of-its-kind mineral-based antimicrobial technology poised to reshape everything from hospital safety to food packaging sustainability.

Shari opens up about:

• The unexpected path from clinical nursing to building a category-defining staffing enterprise.
• What truly differentiated Avant and how a focus on cultural and clinical prep created unmatched loyalty.
• How Kismet’s breakthrough tech works—and why its regenerative antimicrobial properties are a game-changing answer to rising resistance, food spoilage, and regulatory shifts.
• Weathering a founder departure, filling a steep technical knowledge gap, and leading through the toughest 90 days of her career.
• Her philosophy on leadership, humility, lifelong learning, and building teams that think big.
• What it really takes to earn investor trust, including raising over $58M across venture capital, PE, and strategic partners.
• Her long-term vision: a safer, greener, healthier world powered by sustainable materials science.

Along the way, Shari shares personal stories—from her daughter’s successful battle with pediatric cancer to her evolution as a leader who adapts to every personality in the room without compromising on integrity.

Whether you’re a founder, operator, investor, or simply someone navigating big leadership moments, this conversation is packed with wisdom, resilience, and inspiration.

This episode is a masterclass in reinvention, grit, and building with purpose.

A spotless truck says more than a slogan ever could. That’s the energy Hyzens Marc brings to O-Town Provisions, a Central Florida distributor built on premium products, disciplined operations, and a relationship-first mindset. We sit down with Heizens to unpack the rituals, decisions, and pivots that turned a risky leap from banking into a trusted partner for Publix, independent delis, and Orlando International’s Terminal C.

The conversation starts with routine: a four-mile walk at dawn, prayer, and gratitude. Those habits shape everything else—clean warehouses, immaculate trucks, crisp delivery standards, and a calm leader who shows up ready. He walks us through the chaotic first weeks after acquiring the business, rebuilding culture with one-on-ones and clear processes, and how following a mentor’s “playbook” transformed hustle into consistent results. On sales, Heizens rejects pushy tactics and leads with service, aligning SKUs and values, and saying no when a partner wants shortcuts that damage trust.

We go deep on operational excellence—temperature logs, maintenance schedules, route checks—and how “premium” becomes visible in every touchpoint. He shares COVID battle stories, from supply shocks to creative buildouts using shipping containers, and why many of those emergency protocols are now best practices. We look ahead to AI in distribution: smarter routing, inventory integration between suppliers and customers, and the early edges of autonomous delivery. Threaded through it all is community: hiring for potential, mentoring youth, supporting local schools and churches, and modeling a path where character compounds into opportunity.

If you care about leadership that lasts, sales without the sleaze, and building systems that hold under stress, this one delivers. Tap play, subscribe for more founder stories with real playbooks, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway so others can find it too.
