World's Most Versatile Business
Leaders Making a Difference, 2024
A leader's responsibility in a successful company is to
ensure that a diverse group of individuals in various roles
are working toward the same goal. Since members of
organizations come from all origins, age ranges, and
cultural and skill sets, and because they are at varying
stages of development and competition, there is no one
perfect way to lead.
Different leadership theories need to be used in different
sorts of demanding and sometimes complicated
organizational environments. A transformational leadership
style may be very helpful and is often required during times
of transition. Though they aren't always happy, these
inspiring leaders are fascinating and motivate their
followers to do better things. They inspire individuals to
take on exciting, difficult initiatives with enthusiasm and
uniqueness by fostering a sense of community.
There is no one-size-fits-all leadership technique at a time
when individuals are so different from one another.
Outstanding leaders must be flexible enough to work with a
variety of personalities, ages, and cultural backgrounds in
order to bring their team together around a shared goal.
World's Leaders newest release of " World's Most Versatile
Business Leaders Making a Difference, 2024" showcases
business leaders who have made remarkable strides towards
creating higher performing cultures inside the current
frameworks and always coming up with fresh ideas. The
cover features Ryan Niddel, the CEO of MIT45 Inc. who
embarked on his entrepreneurial journey at the tender age
of ten, kickstarting a lawn-mowing business to fulfill a
desire for a new pair of Jordans. This early venture laid the
foundation for his future endeavors and instilled in him a
strong work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit.
Throughout his journey, Ryan acknowledges the significant
role of mentors and supporters in shaping his path. He
attributes his achievements not to being 'self-made' but to
the invaluable guidance and support of those around him.
Transitioning from affiliate manager to consultant, Ryan
eventually found his way to MIT45, where he now leads as
CEO and equity partner.
Ryan's approach to business is rooted in tenacity, humility,
and a relentless commitment to progress. He recognizes that
every phase of a business presents unique challenges and
opportunities and focuses on fostering an environment
where his team can thrive. This ethos of adaptability and
empowerment permeates MIT45's culture, driving
innovation and success.

Niddel, the CEO of MIT45 Inc., embarked on his
entrepreneurial journey at the tender age of ten,
kickstarting a lawn-mowing business to fulfill a
desire for a new pair of Jordans. This early venture
laid the foundation for his future endeavors and
instilled in him a strong work ethic and
entrepreneurial spirit.
Throughout his journey, Ryan acknowledges the
significant role of mentors and supporters in
shaping his path. He attributes his achievements not
to being 'self-made' but to the invaluable guidance
and support of those around him. Transitioning
from affiliate manager to consultant, Ryan
eventually found his way to MIT45, where he now

Unparalleled Success
Ryan highlights that MIT45 is the
pioneering kratom company
responsible for formulating kratom
extracts, including the highly
acclaimed MIT45 (formerly MIT45
Gold), which has sold an impressive
35 million bottles to date. As they
forge ahead, their vision is clear: to
become the leading brand in
delivering the highest-quality kratom
to billions of people worldwide, all
while adhering to ethical practices.
This commitment entails purifying
their extracts three times over,
advocating for government
regulation, and collaborating with the
American Kratom Association
(AKA) to challenge and dispel
negative perceptions and stereotypes
surrounding kratom.
Focus on Impact and Serving
Others
Ryan firmly believes in the
importance of humility and
continuous learning. He actively
seeks out individuals who have
achieved the level of success he
aspires to and learns from their
experiences and challenges. He
recognizes that true success lies not
in personal accolades but in the
impact he can have on others' lives.
12 | May 2024
In terms of societal
improvement, Ryan prioritizes
investing in people and serving
them. He has shifted his focus
from personal legacy to
providing tangible value to
others, particularly those who
look up to him as a leader or
advisor. For Ryan, success is
measured by the positive impact
he can make on individuals'
lives.
For aspiring leaders, Ryan advises
starting with a foundational
understanding of psychology.
Recognizing the complexity of human
behavior and thought processes is
essential for effective leadership.
Constantly challenging one's beliefs and
remaining open to learning are key traits
for successful leadership.
Regarding kratom, Ryan aims to
improve education and awareness
surrounding the plant, advocate for
responsible regulation, and contribute to
destigmatizing natural remedies for
health and wellness. He believes in
promoting a balanced and informed
perspective on kratom to ensure its safe
and responsible use.
Guiding Strategic Direction
As CEO, Ryan's responsibilities
encompass guiding the strategic
direction of the company, nurturing
team development, and ensuring
operational excellence. His motivation
as a business growth specialist stems
from witnessing the transformative
effects of strategic planning and
execution. He finds fulfillment in
helping companies achieve their
objectives, overcome obstacles, and
thrive in a dynamic marketplace.
Ryan's daily routine reflects his
commitment to driving business growth.
It begins with a thorough analysis of
market trends and identification of
growth opportunities. Clear objectives
worldsleaders.com | 13
are set for himself and his team, aligning
with the company's vision.
Collaboration with stakeholders is key in
developing effective strategies tailored to
meet these objectives.
Throughout the day, Ryan continuously
evaluates progress against targets and
monitors key performance indicators. He
remains agile, making necessary adjustments
to keep the company on track towards its
desired outcomes. Regular meetings with
department heads provide guidance and
support, ensuring initiatives are aligned with
growth objectives.
Staying updated with industry best practices
is integral to Ryan's routine. He invests time
in continuous learning, whether through
attending conferences, networking events, or
conducting research and analysis. This
commitment to ongoing education enables
him to stay ahead of industry trends and
drive innovation within the company.
The happiest part of Ryan's routine is
witnessing the impact of their work on
customers' lives and the growth of the team.
Seeing tangible results and knowing that
their efforts are making a difference is a
source of immense satisfaction. Ryan strives
to inspire excellence among team members
while fostering a culture of innovation and
success within the organization.
Strong Work Ethic
When hiring a new team member, Ryan
prioritizes several key qualities to ensure
they are the right fit for the company and its
objectives. These qualities include:
Ÿ Strong Work Ethic: Candidates who
demonstrate dedication, reliability, and
the ability to meet deadlines are essential
for maintaining productivity and
achieving goals.
Ÿ Adaptability: In today's fast-paced
business environment, candidates who
can quickly learn new skills, pivot when
necessary, and navigate unforeseen
challenges are invaluable assets to the
team.
Ÿ Team Player Mindset: Collaboration and
teamwork are fundamental to success in
any organization. Candidates who
possess a mindset focused on supporting
their colleagues and working towards
common goals are highly sought after.
Ÿ Excellent Communication Skills:
Effective communication is essential for
successful collaboration, problem-
solving, and achieving alignment within
the team. Candidates who can articulate
their ideas clearly and listen actively are
valuable contributors to the team
dynamic.
Ÿ Problem-Solving Abilities: The ability to
identify challenges, analyze situations,
and develop innovative solutions is
critical for driving progress and
overcoming obstacles in the workplace.
Ÿ Positive Attitude: A positive attitude not
only fosters a supportive and
encouraging work environment but also
impacts productivity, morale, and overall
team dynamics.
Ÿ Continuous Learner Mentality: In a
rapidly evolving business landscape,
candidates who demonstrate a
14 | May 2024
worldsleaders.com | 15
16 | May 2024
Ÿ commitment to ongoing learning and professional
development are better equipped to adapt to change
and contribute to the company's long-term success.
By prioritizing these qualities during the hiring
process, Ryan ensures that new team members are
well-equipped to contribute to the company's goals,
collaborate effectively with colleagues, and thrive in
their roles.
Creating Global Employment Opportunities
Ryan outlines a strategic vision for MIT45 and the
kratom industry, emphasizing key observations and
future directions. He notes a significant industry shift
towards standardization and regulatory scrutiny, driven
by advancements in technology enabling improved
extraction processes and quality control measures.
MIT45's decision to acquire an established direct-to-
consumer brand is highlighted as a successful risk that
has expanded market presence. Looking ahead, MIT45
envisions significant industry changes within five
years, aiming to position itself as a leader in regulatory
compliance, quality, and product consistency. With
over 20% of the US population aware of kratom's
benefits, MIT45 plans to dominate the market and
expand into various distribution channels, including
international markets, creating employment
opportunities globally. This strategic vision
underscores MIT45's ambition to lead through
innovation and compliance, ultimately reaching
millions with its high-quality kratom products.
Becoming a Household Name
Ryan emphasizes that MIT45 is setting the gold
standard within the industry. He envisions MIT45
becoming a household name in the future, recognized
by consumers even if they are unfamiliar with kratom.
Their strategy involves expanding into new markets
while upholding their unwavering commitment to
quality and regulatory compliance. MIT45 is poised to
enter and dominate multiple new categories, including
fitness stores, greengrocers, and other mass-market
outlets.
The key differentiator lies in MIT45's brand equity.
They are cultivating a brand that fosters strong
customer loyalty, encouraging long-term relationships
rather than short-lived transactions. Already, they are
seeing data that supports this approach.

Militsopoulou
Maria
“With a life journey
resembling a sci-fi
movie she testifies, “Yes,
there are natural-born
leaders and they can
sense it from the very
beginning of their lives”
36 | May 2024
worldsleaders.com | 37
Reflecting upon her professional journey, Maria
established a formidable presence in the tech industry
as the founder and CEO/CVO of YouDream Consulting.
This future-oriented company not only supports an
international TECH HUB of specialized IT professionals
but also collaborates with multinational tech
enterprises, contributing significantly to the global
technological landscape. Transitioning into the digital
era, naturally, she took on the role of Ambassadress,
with a dedicated mission to attract and unite more
women towards technology.
Aligned with her brain cognitive functions as an ENTJ,
she has demonstrated a lifelong inclination towards
envisioning the future, driven by the goal of creating an
innovative ecosystem for the greater good. Actively
participating in future-directed teams, she has been
instrumental in implementing innovative projects,
showcasing her commitment to advancing technology.
Throughout her career, she has taken on diverse roles,
including serving as a Project Coordinator for major
Telecommunication Organizations and other
prominent institutions across Europe. Even though her
initial career pursuit diverged, her exposure to
mentoring in various business sectors became a
defining moment leading her to discover her true
calling, coaching and mentoring. Her path was carved
from her deep understanding of human behavior, the
innate inclination towards positivity, and her
remarkable talent for connecting the dots, combined
with an early fascination for Jungian Archetypes
profiling, which served as the cornerstone of her
leadership journey.
Beyond her tech endeavors, her passion for human
behavior and positive change has been a guiding force
throughout her career and personal journey. Rooted in
positive psychology, she has concentrated her efforts
on Inspirational Transformative Coaching, evolving
into Transcendent Mentoring. Her involvement in
organizations advocating for women empowerment
and human-to-human support, especially in the realm
of mental health, reflects her dedication to positive
transcendence leadership.
38 | May 2024
Currently serving as the Cyprus
Country Chair for the Humanity,
Technology & Innovation Wing,
under the umbrella of the Global
Organization G100 mission million,
she embraces a profound sense of
duty. Her mission involves uniting
women leaders across sectors and
generations under the collective
cause of women empowerment and
the advancement of the women's
economy through the SHEconomy
project. Additionally, she is
committed to fostering greater
inclusion of women in the dynamic
fields of technology and innovation,
further solidifying her position as a
leader and advocate for positive
change, expanding to a wider range
of human awareness.
Navigating a challenging course to
success
Maria's educational journey is as
impressive as her professional one.
The whole journey, far from linear,
has been like putting puzzle pieces
together, leading her to today's
success.
After finishing high school, a
misguided influence from her family
environment prompted her to
pursue a degree in Tourism
Business Management, a choice
that eventually revealed itself to
hold no personal interest for her in
pursuing further advancement.
Rather than accepting her fate, she
embraced it and chose a distinctive
road—one that would inspire and
uplift others.
This experience is one of the
reasons that ignited her passion for
creating an innovative ecosystem,
providing both parents, students
and especially underprivileged
women from the early years of
school with access to a conscious
career orientation.
This orientation will be determined
by both natural talents and
conscious choices reflecting the
kid's personality and
simultaneously, preparing the
parents through specialized
mentoring on how to support their
children's choices and inclinations.
Through her Business
Administration degree, she
embarked on her professional
journey at a young age, working for
prominent organizations. Starting
essentially from Scratch, she
evolved over the course of a decade,
serving in pivotal areas of
companies and had the chance to
build a robust business network.

Creating Global Employment Opportunities Ryan outlines a strategic vision for MIT45 and the kratom industry, emphasizing key observations and future directions. He notes a significant industry shift towards standardization and regulatory scrutiny, driven by advancements in technology enabling improved extraction processes and quality control measures. MIT45's decision to acquire an established direct-to- consumer brand is highlighted as a successful risk that has expanded market presence. Looking ahead, MIT45 envisions significant industry changes within five years, aiming to position itself as a leader in regulatory compliance, quality, and product consistency. With over 20% of the US population aware of kratom's benefits, MIT45 plans to dominate the market and expand into various distribution channels, including international markets, creating employment opportunities globally. This strategic vision underscores MIT45's ambition to lead through innovation and compliance, ultimately reaching millions with its high-quality kratom products. Becoming a Household Name Ryan emphasizes that MIT45 is setting the gold standard within the industry. He envisions MIT45 becoming a household name in the future, recognized by consumers even if they are unfamiliar with kratom. Their strategy involves expanding into new markets while upholding their unwavering commitment to quality and regulatory compliance. MIT45 is poised to enter and dominate multiple new categories, including fitness stores, greengrocers, and other mass-market outlets. The key differentiator lies in MIT45's brand equity. They are cultivating a brand that fosters strong customer loyalty, encouraging long-term relationships rather than short-lived transactions. Already, they are seeing data that supports this approach. worldsleaders.com | 17

    Reflecting upon herprofessional journey, Maria established a formidable presence in the tech industry as the founder and CEO/CVO of YouDream Consulting. This future-oriented company not only supports an international TECH HUB of specialized IT professionals but also collaborates with multinational tech enterprises, contributing significantly to the global technological landscape. Transitioning into the digital era, naturally, she took on the role of Ambassadress, with a dedicated mission to attract and unite more women towards technology. Aligned with her brain cognitive functions as an ENTJ, she has demonstrated a lifelong inclination towards envisioning the future, driven by the goal of creating an innovative ecosystem for the greater good. Actively participating in future-directed teams, she has been instrumental in implementing innovative projects, showcasing her commitment to advancing technology. Throughout her career, she has taken on diverse roles, including serving as a Project Coordinator for major Telecommunication Organizations and other prominent institutions across Europe. Even though her initial career pursuit diverged, her exposure to mentoring in various business sectors became a defining moment leading her to discover her true calling, coaching and mentoring. Her path was carved from her deep understanding of human behavior, the innate inclination towards positivity, and her remarkable talent for connecting the dots, combined with an early fascination for Jungian Archetypes profiling, which served as the cornerstone of her leadership journey. Beyond her tech endeavors, her passion for human behavior and positive change has been a guiding force throughout her career and personal journey. Rooted in positive psychology, she has concentrated her efforts on Inspirational Transformative Coaching, evolving into Transcendent Mentoring. Her involvement in organizations advocating for women empowerment and human-to-human support, especially in the realm of mental health, reflects her dedication to positive transcendence leadership. 38 | May 2024

    Currently serving asthe Cyprus Country Chair for the Humanity, Technology & Innovation Wing, under the umbrella of the Global Organization G100 mission million, she embraces a profound sense of duty. Her mission involves uniting women leaders across sectors and generations under the collective cause of women empowerment and the advancement of the women's economy through the SHEconomy project. Additionally, she is committed to fostering greater inclusion of women in the dynamic fields of technology and innovation, further solidifying her position as a leader and advocate for positive change, expanding to a wider range of human awareness. Navigating a challenging course to success Maria's educational journey is as impressive as her professional one. The whole journey, far from linear, has been like putting puzzle pieces together, leading her to today's success. After finishing high school, a misguided influence from her family environment prompted her to pursue a degree in Tourism Business Management, a choice that eventually revealed itself to hold no personal interest for her in pursuing further advancement. Rather than accepting her fate, she embraced it and chose a distinctive road—one that would inspire and uplift others. This experience is one of the reasons that ignited her passion for creating an innovative ecosystem, providing both parents, students and especially underprivileged women from the early years of school with access to a conscious career orientation. This orientation will be determined by both natural talents and conscious choices reflecting the kid's personality and simultaneously, preparing the parents through specialized mentoring on how to support their children's choices and inclinations. Through her Business Administration degree, she embarked on her professional journey at a young age, working for prominent organizations. Starting essentially from Scratch, she evolved over the course of a decade, serving in pivotal areas of companies and had the chance to build a robust business network. worldsleaders.com | 39
