Research leader @ Mayo Clinic | Follow me for insights on habits, productivity, and self-actualization | On a mission to normalize health

70% of American adults are overweight or obese. 
40% of cancers are preventable. 
72% of adults report health impacts due to stress.

I've worked with 300+ cancer patients as a health and wellness coach at the Mayo Clinic. 
And I've noticed a few things during this time:

-No one wants to be unhealthy
-Medications and procedures can keep you alive
-But it's lifestyle change that will help you build resilient health

And there's an unfortunate misconception out there that health is difficult to build. 
That "exercise" = self-imposed suffering
That "healthy foods" = kale smoothies
That joint pain is normal. 

But if you've got a demanding professional life, you need to implement low-friction habits and routines to preserve your health. 90 minutes at the gym 5x/week is not an option. 

This is the stuff I help people with. 
Simple health that will last a lifetime. 
So you can back to  your mission. 

Over the course of 12 weeks, we’ll develop habits and routines that will help you lose the weight, dissolve the stress, and reclaim your health.

Questions after yesterday's grocery store run:

Why do so many big grocery stores in the United States stink? 
Literally. They smell like rotting fruit, vegetables, and meat. 

Shouldn’t it be illegal to design a store such that you walk straight into the donut section as soon as you enter?

What if all the stuff that’s going to kill you (we’re not talking your mom’s homemade apple pie here; more concerned with super processed stuff like Twinkies) was in an aisle with caution tape at each end to warn you? 

Or maybe it’s behind a staffed counter where they check your ID to make sure you’re old enough to realize what you’re doing?

Is buying nicotine really worse than buying a bunch of Twinkies?

This will change the way you lead:

I used to think leadership was about commanding respect.

Then I worked for a leader everyone loved collaborating with, 
And I realized I had it completely backward.

"Be the person you want to work with."

The most powerful career strategy isn't networking or self-promotion. 

It's becoming someone others genuinely want to partner with.

Most people focus on being impressive. 
Smart people focus on being irresistible to work with.

Here's what that my experience taught me:

✅ Be Reliable:

→ Show up prepared and on time
→ Follow through without reminders
→ Deliver what you promise when you promise

✅ Be Supportive:

→ Celebrate others' achievements publicly
→ Offer help before being asked
→ Share resources and opportunities

✅ Be Growth-Oriented:

→ Admit mistakes quickly and learn openly
→ Ask for feedback regularly
→ Help others develop their skills

The result? 

Opportunities started finding me instead of me chasing them. 

People began recommending me for roles I hadn't even applied for.

Your career trajectory isn't just about what you can do. 
It's about how people feel when they work with you.

Always strive to be that leader.

Promotions don't go to the hardest workers:

They go to the most visible ones.

Same hours. Same effort. Same results.

Different visibility.

These 7 tactics make your impact impossible to ignore:

1. Communicate to influence, not just inform 
Lead with conclusions. 
Start with outcomes.

2. Stop hiding behind "we" 
Your specific role. Your measurable result.

3. Master strategic visibility 
Position yourself where decision-makers notice you during high-priority challenges.

4. Implement the RISE framework 
Read priorities → Invest in relationships → Show value → Execute consistently.

5. Demonstrate "next-level" thinking 
Exhibit capabilities of the role you want, not just the one you have.

6. Develop executive presence Clear communication. 
Composure under pressure. 
Gravitas that signals readiness.

7. Volunteer for "unsolvable" pain points 
Transform your career by solving problems nobody else wants to touch.

Most high-performers burn out waiting for recognition.
These tactics make you impossible to overlook.

Level up and start being the leader that you are meant to be. 

I share 100+ level up tactics for professionals in my newsletter.
