Are you a founder or a professional who’s outgrown your market, left corporate, or faced a disruption… and now you’re wondering how to rise again?

You’re not alone.

I’ve met countless founders who hold themselves back:

- By staying silent instead of sharing their stories.
- By being invisible in industries they should be leading.
- By working in isolation, without a community that gets it.
- By wanting to be seen, but not stepping fully into thought leadership.

Here’s what I know: When you find the right HERD to walk alongside you, everything changes.

👉 "If you are interested in experiencing being part of a deeply connected community while receiving top-notch business training from mentors who will champion you and your passion to change lives, jump in and join the HERD." - Sydney Allen, CEO @ SOUL Energies Aligned

My journey? 10 years in corporate with brands like MetLife and Virgin. Then 14+ years as a founder. Since then, I’ve:

- Built Red Elephant into a 7-figure events and coaching brand.
- 2x speaker at the University for Peace (affiliated with the United Nations).
- Launched HERD Ventures, a new membership community for rising founders.
- Partnered with my brother (ex-Google) to blend AI + business intelligence for founders.
- Coaching TEDx Orlando speakers.
- Partnered with my brother about AI in business.

And found ways to thrive in business, motherhood, and purpose while still doing what I love.

👉 "I can see my transformation unfolding in front of me." - Karen, Premier Director @ Neora

At HERD, we’re building something different:

- 24/7 founder-led support community
- AI labs led by an ex-Google engineer
- Peer-to-peer network with the right founders
- Proven frameworks for 6-figure business building
- Diverse speakers and aligned sponsors at every event
- High-impact events to spark creation (not the generic ones)
- 3x weekly thought-provoking content with actionable takeaways
- Marketing, sales, mindset training and more to grow your business, and more.

Ultimately, we discover the UNSEEN potential in you (literally).

👉  “Even when you don’t have the words yet, Afrin and HERD can see the bigger vision and help you step into it.” - Regina, Founder @ Here4You, Empowerment and Vitality Life Coach

Entrepreneurship didn’t just change my finances. It changed my voice. My belonging. My impact.

If I can do it, so can you.

So if you’re ready to rise again with a HERD that’s got your back, join from the featured section.
