Senior Consultant (Captain)

Operations Manager | Assistant S3

IT and Communication Lead | Platoon Leader

As a Former Army Captain I'm passionate about helping individuals and teams unlock their full potential. 

Having worked in the Military, Manufacturing, and Financial Services industries I have continued to search for what truly makes organizations successful. From my experience this goal is enabled by organized and useable data. 

Proper use of data assets does more that just allows you to present and inform at all levels of the organization. It allows you to:

- Tell a story
- Take strategic action
- Focus on wins while mitigating losses 

Most organizations face an enormous problem when it comes to organizing, structuring, and using their data in a meaningful way. 

Nexla is primed to solve this problem by streamlining data process to quickly transform raw data into actionable insights. We do this by automating data workflows to enhance responsiveness to business needs. 

This not only speeds up decision-making, but allows for more frequent iterations of data products. 

If you are finding yourself in situations where you have mass amounts of data, but cannot use it to its fullest potential it might be time to reach out for some help.

You can get in contact with us at nexla.com (link in my profile), or send me a message and I'll be in touch.

Lets find some time to talk today!

Leadership | Fitness - Researching, Experimenting, & Sharing top Actionable tips to help you become a Peak Performing Leader

When it comes to Health, most people get confused about what to Focus on.

For me, I sum my Focus up in one word: Healthspan.

Because what is the point of maximizing Lifespan if I am not strong, sharp, and energized enough to enjoy it?

I’m Brad, and if you’ve followed me for a while, you might be a little confused as a majority of my content has been around Leadership with sprinkles of Health and Wellness.

So to provide some clarity: 
  • I love Leadership. 
  • I also love my Job (thank you, Lincoln Electric!).
  • But above all, I LOVE:
        - Learning about Health
        - Chatting about Health
        - Experimenting with systems and research on Health and Longevity
        - And most of all - helping others achieve optimal Health and Longevity.

(and before I get asked - "but what about Your family?!" - I respond: this is a professional network - so this is my professional list. 

And I would do ANYTHING for my wife and 3 boys, even LIVE for them by taking care of my own Physical and Mental health first!)

I believe:
  - I will Die Young at an Old Age.
  - Longevity is not luck. It is built through Daily Habits.
  - Aging is a choice. Death is inevitable. Decline is NOT.

This is why I’ve dedicated my personal time to helping others in Health through personal training and nutritional coaching.

And this journey has led to the birth of AgeLess - movement, a program, and a community designed for those who refuse to accept "slowing down" as inevitable.

We focus on:
  - Strength and mobility to stay active for life.
  - Nutrition and recovery to fuel energy and performance.
  - Mental resilience and community for lasting motivation.

I have lived the roller-coaster life in health. Knowing of the importance of Health but not staying committed.

That changed 5+ years ago, and I have been learning, experimenting, and developing my own system ever since. Now, I help others do the same.

If you are serious about maximizing your Healthspan and staying strong for life but can't crack the code on Your own, I want to help!

Because at AgeLess, we help You Age Less, so You can Live More.

Message me on how You can be an AgeLess Athlete!

Let’s get to work!

Brad Smith

Huge thanks to Wright State University - Lake Campus Campus and especially Tammy Eilerman and Cassandra O. for their help and hosting the Frontline Leadership training over the last couple of months.

We ran two sessions, Communication Coaching and Managing Team Member Performance, and I look forward to partnering on more in the future.

Thank You also to the leaders who attended, ready to grow. Your questions and engaging discussions made it more practical and real.

And thank You to the companies who invested in Your leaders! 


P.S. Pic from an empty room before training started as I was too locked into the discussion to grab an action shot. I need to take a page out of Celina Mercer County Chamber of Commerce Leadership in Action and require a group photo!
