Every week on Cheddar TV’s Go Fund Yourself, entrepreneurs step onto the stage with more than a business pitch—they step up with a message. Episode 8, which airs September 25, 2025, is a powerful reminder that some of the best ventures are born out of lived experience, resilience, and the drive to help others.
Two standout founders from “French With an Attitude” & “Torques” showed exactly what it means to have a Million Dollar Message to share with the world.
French With an Attitude introduced Born in the Wrong Chair, a memoir that doesn’t just tell a story—it gives readers a framework for transformation. Tackling themes of cultural dislocation, neurodivergence, and addiction recovery, the book equips readers with The Three Stages of Awareness: Knowing, Awareness, Acting. More importantly, it fuels Neurodivergent With Attitude, a nonprofit committed to adaptive fashion, tech, and education for the neurodivergent community. The message is clear: every struggle can be a springboard for change.

On the other side of the stage, Torques proved that fun and purpose can go hand in hand. Founder Scott Thomas Peterson, LCSW, has reimagined games as tools for mental wellness, blending recreation with therapy. From Racquet Torques (tennis meets badminton) to Torques Toss (with playful scoring and “Money Bird”), each product is paired with a free app and rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy principles. Torques is more than a game—it’s a movement to teach resilience, coping skills, and mindfulness to kids, families, and schools.

The Titans—Rory Cutaia, Jayson Waller, and David Meltzer—did what they do best: challenge, mentor, and inspire. Their guidance reminded viewers that every founder’s pitch is more than numbers on a page—it’s a chance to amplify a story that can resonate with millions.
That’s why Go Fund Yourself continues to resonate so deeply with audiences. It’s not just about who gets funded, it’s about the ideas and messages that spark action, shift perspectives, and prove that entrepreneurship can be a force for good.
Both French With an Attitude and Torques walked away with more than exposure; they walked away knowing their stories struck a chord. And that’s the real win—sharing a Million Dollar Message that has the power to change lives.
