Energy Alchemy: Blending Quantum Wisdom with Business Systems

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Ammar Elm, we meet Ryan Ashby, the visionary founder of Madali LLC, who's bridging ancient wisdom with modern business through his unique blend of quantum human design coaching and operational consulting. Ryan shares his deeply personal journey from corporate disillusionment to creating a "backstage crew" for purpose-driven entrepreneurs—particularly healers, therapists, and spiritual guides—helping them align their energy with business systems while honoring their intuitive gifts. He reveals how his own awakening as a "manifestor" in human design (one of five energy archetypes) transformed his approach to entrepreneurship, emphasizing consent-based sociocracy over traditional hierarchies and the power of starting "messy" rather than waiting for perfection.

Ryan offers rare transparency about the spiritual entrepreneur's path—from esoteric challenges like throat chakra blocks during interviews to practical struggles with messaging for audiences unfamiliar with terms like CRM. His counterintuitive growth strategy? Rejecting conventional marketing playbooks to follow divine timing ("I'm detached from outcomes—if I only serve two people, so be it") while calling in his "soul tribe" of co-creators. For founders feeling out of alignment, Ryan's wisdom on competing only with oneself and defining success as "showing up authentically" provides a radical reframe—one he's now embodying by launching his podcast to spotlight other unconventional founders.
