Chris Porter
Porter Coaching
For his whole life, Chris has battled internal and external messages that having ADHD means he’s defective. Only recently has he come to appreciate what he calls his “beautiful brain” and that his being neurodivergent is part of God’s plan and a gifting that he can use to help others with ADHD. He’s building tools and methods to share what he’s learning through his coaching business, Porter Coaching.
“As a coach and fellow ADHDer, I have seen the power of coaching in my own life. Honest, kind, and fiercely compassionate coaching transformed my life, and I am committed to seeing that same transformation in your life as well.”
Dana Eriksson
Hello Thoughtfulness / Amazing Human Project
Dana stepped away from a career in marketing to start Hello Thoughtfulness/Amazing Human Project. She had participated in a local startup accelerator program, but felt there was still something lacking, and joined the Infuse 2022-23 Cohort.
“My company is called Hello Thoughtfulness, and our whole mission is to make thoughtfulness easier. I had the situation come up in my life many times where I wanted to send a friend or colleague something more than a card (maybe they were going through something or they got a new job), but I noticed that it took too many steps. You have to decide what to get, carve out time to go and buy the thing, buy the packaging to send it in the mail, wait in line at the post office to pay the postage, and finally send it off. Often it just didn’t get done. So I wanted to create a super easy way for people to send their friend or colleague something thoughtful at an affordable price point that looks amazing. Because ultimately we want to help people feel connected with others.”

520 Christian Singles
Cassie is a young professional who was looking for ways for singles like herself to build community and meet others without the pressure or expectation of having to find a mate. So she started 520 Christian Singles to host events and build that community she was looking for.
“We host events to encourage relationships among Christian singles where you can be seen and loved. Our Values: Being valued even if we're not married; Finding a community of people going through similar struggles; Meet others who share your values to build strong relationships.“
