Every week, Go Fund Yourself brings together bold founders and powerhouse Titans to prove that entrepreneurship isn’t just about business, it’s about human transformation. Episode 8, which airs September 25, 2025, at 7 PM ET on Cheddar TV, was no exception. From an unflinching memoir that doubles as a blueprint for healing, to a game reinvented as therapy, the stage was packed with vision, grit, and heart.
French With an Attitude: A Memoir That Moves Beyond the Page
What happens when life deals you the “wrong chair?” For the creator of Born in the Wrong Chair, it meant turning adversity into art, and art into impact. This memoir is far more than a personal story, it’s a guidebook for anyone seeking to move from dislocation and confusion toward awareness and purposeful action.
Drawing from experiences with cultural displacement, late-diagnosed neurodivergence, and the battles of addiction and recovery, the author introduces readers to The Three Stages of Awareness: Knowing, Awareness, Acting. Through raw storytelling, practical exercises, and journaling prompts, the book empowers readers to take back their lives step by step.
But the story doesn’t stop on the page. The project fuels Neurodivergent With Attitude, a nonprofit championing adaptive fashion, accessible tech, and educational opportunities for the neurodivergent community. The organization’s mission is to create practical, tangible tools for individuals who are too often underserved—bridging the gap between advocacy and action. In a world just waking up to the diversity of human minds, Born in the Wrong Chair is a call to action and a lifeline for anyone who’s ever felt on the outside looking in. Here is the funding link.
Torques: Where Play Meets Therapy
If you think play is just fun and games, think again. Torques takes ancient play concepts and transforms them into a multi-channel wellness brand that bridges recreation, therapy, and culture.
Founder Scott Thomas Peterson, LCSW, reimagines racquet sports and backyard games with a powerful twist. Racquet Torques (a cross between tennis and badminton) and Torques Toss (with clever scoring like “Money Bird”) are supported by a free app that includes scoring timers and even a mindfulness mode. The design ensures that anyone, from kids to adults, can pick up the games and immediately engage, making wellness practices both accessible and fun.
The innovation runs deeper than gameplay. At its heart, Torques is a teaching tool for coping skills, mental wellness, and family bonding. The system integrates CBT’s Thinking, Feeling, and Behavior Triangle directly into products, movement, music, and guided meditations. From classrooms to clinics, Torques builds resilience while keeping fun at the center.
With a business model spanning product sales, educational curriculum, app engagement, Torques TV video content, and wellness event activations, the company offers investors a diversified play that is both mission-driven and market-ready. The challenge ahead lies in scaling distribution and maintaining clinical integrity, but with Peterson’s expertise and vision, Torques is positioned to disrupt both recreation and therapy markets. Here is the funding link.
The Titans at the Helm
As always, the show’s Titans — visionary entrepreneur Rory Cutaia, powerhouse motivator Jayson Waller, and legendary business coach David Meltzer — brought sharp questions, candid advice, and the kind of mentorship money alone can’t buy.
Cutaia, the creator of Go Fund Yourself and Founder & CEO of Global Digital Media at Nasdaq-listed TON Strategy Co., knows what it means to take a bold idea to market. Waller, the self-made founder of multiple companies, brings relentless energy and a no-excuses attitude that inspires entrepreneurs to rise to the challenge. Meltzer, with decades of experience mentoring startups and Fortune 500 executives, offers wisdom rooted in service and sustainability. Together, they create a panel that is equal parts tough love and transformative guidance.
For the entrepreneurs, the exposure is priceless. For viewers, it’s a front-row seat to innovation with heart, showing that every business has a human story at its core.
A Stage That Changes Everything
Episode after episode, Go Fund Yourself has become more than just a show. It’s a launchpad, a mentorship platform, and a reminder that the road to success is paved with both challenges and breakthroughs. Episode 8 underscored that truth beautifully: one founder turned pain into purpose through the written word, while another transformed play into a path toward healing.
