SWOT & Order™ Produced by Adrienne Barker, MAS.
The Voices Behind the Summit. The Lessons Behind the Wins.
When business leaders take the stand to share what truly built their success, the evidence speaks volumes.
SWOT & Order™ is the official companion to the groundbreaking SWOT & Order™ Summit, a two-day multi-channel global event streamed live across LinkedIn, Facebook, X, YouTube, and Chatter Social.
For the first time ever, a summit of this scale did not end when the livestream stopped. Through PodiumToPage™ and PodToBook.ai, the event was transformed into a published book that captures every insight, breakthrough, and defining moment from two days of real-world brilliance. The conversation continues with the launch of the SWOT & Order™ Podcast, where these stories come to life in a new audio series.
Each chapter reveals the mindset shifts, strategies, and lessons that helped entrepreneurs, coaches, and innovators turn challenges into growth. Through their stories, readers see how the classic SWOT framework of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats becomes the ultimate tool for reinvention and resilience.
Featuring the 2025 SWOT & Order™ Summit Speakers:
Alex Dumas, Beth Ellis, Brandon T. Moore, Chris Carter, Dr. Karissa Thomas, Emelie Capshaw, GA Pimpletown, Heather Kidwell, Jennifer Jensen, Jennifer McKenna, Jessica Hammock, Jen Bullington, Jane Mitchell, Julie Lokun, Leah Garcia, Llance Kezner, and Shaun Whynacht.
Inclusion & Ability Panel: Deborah Vick, Rebecca Aguirre, Rosie Arcuri, and Annelie Roux.
Together, these twenty-one contributors open their own case files of experience, sharing how they identified patterns, broke barriers, and built stronger businesses by embracing truth over polish. From emotional intelligence and marketing mastery to leadership, accessibility, and adaptability, this collection delivers a wide range of perspectives united by one principle: knowledge in action.
SWOT & Order™ is more than an event. It is a movement redefining how business stories are shared and preserved. By transforming live conversations into a written legacy and an ongoing podcast, it shows how thought leadership can live far beyond the stage.
Whether you are leading a company, growing a practice, or rediscovering your purpose, this book will challenge how you see your own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats and will show how every clue in your business story leads to clarity.
Every business leaves a clue.
These are the voices behind the summit.
