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. 
Should we talk?

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?

Status means nothing.

Impact means everything.

In the Emergency Department, titles never save lives.
Actions do.

I learned this after decades in medicine and entrepreneurship.

Nobody remembers:
❌ Your job title
❌ Your luxury car
❌ How hard you worked
❌ How big your office was

Here are small daily actions that will leave an impact:

🎯 Be Present
↳ Show up fully in every conversation, not just "important" ones
↳ Put away distractions when others are talking - it shows respect
↳ Listen with intention, not just waiting for your turn to speak
↳ Remember details from past conversations - it shows you care

❤️ Show Empathy
↳ Offer support before they have to ask for it
↳ Feel what your team feels - their struggles are real
↳ Create safe spaces for vulnerable conversations
↳ Stand by them during career storms, not just celebrations

🤝 Keep Promises
↳ Follow through even when it's inconvenient
↳ Make commitments carefully, and deliver on them fully
↳ Build trust through consistent, reliable action
↳ Set realistic expectations that you can exceed

🌟 Share Wisdom
↳ Pass on lessons that cost you years to learn
↳ Guide without controlling the outcome
↳ Create opportunities for others to grow
↳ Share credit, take the blame

🛡️ Build Trust
↳ Align your actions with your words - every time
↳ Stay consistent in how you treat people
↳ Defend your team when they're not in the room
↳ Make hard decisions with integrity

💫 Create Value
↳ Build systems that outlast you
↳ Focus on lifting others as you climb
↳ Measure success by team growth, not metrics
↳ Leave every situation better than you found it

🙏 Show Gratitude
↳ Recognize effort privately and publicly
↳ Thank people in ways that matter to them
↳ Celebrate small wins as much as big victories
↳ Create a culture where appreciation flows freely

During medical emergencies and business chaos,
We never ask about titles.
We ask: 'How can we make a difference today?"

That's what they'll remember about you, too.

Not your status.
But your impact.

99% of jobs can be taught (if you give people a chance)

Your education doesn't define you.

Hiring managers often require:

↳ Degrees
↳ Fancy credentials
↳ Years of experience

...for jobs that don't need them.

They're missing out on many high performers.

Here's the truth:

A piece of paper doesn’t show what you can do.

Most skills are best learned on the job.
(not in a classroom)

These 5 Things Matter More Than a Degree:

1/ Show Up When Others Don't
↳ Be the one who's always there, no matter what
↳ Even on your worst days, being present puts you ahead

2/ Do the Hard Stuff First
↳ Tackle your toughest task right away
↳ Your brain is freshest in the morning, use it wisely

3/ Learn Something New Every Day
↳ Read, watch, and talk to people smarter than you
↳ Small bits of knowledge become big wisdom over time

4/ Help Others Shine
↳ Always make your teammates look good
↳ When you lift others, you rise further

5/ Own Your Mistakes and Solve Problems
↳ Take responsibility when things go wrong, then fix them
↳ Leaders love problem-solvers, not excuses

Give folks a chance!
You might be surprised by what they can do.

And if you get one of those chances...
Make them wonder why they ever doubted you.

Remember, your credentials don't define your potential.
Your actions do.

If you can't do the little things right

You'll never do the big things right.

The most powerful Navy SEAL leadership lesson:

Admiral McRaven trained 60,000 special operators.

His career secret?
Start by making your bed.

Why? Because high performance starts with daily habits.

After 15+ years as a doctor, this truth still stands.

And I've built my businesses around this very concept.

Changing the world isn't about grand gestures.
It's about these 8 proven success principles:

1. Your daily habits
2. Your perseverance
3. Your attention to detail
4. Your ability to inspire others
5. Your willingness to start small
6. Your commitment to excellence
7. Your resilience in the face of failure 

And most importantly:

8. Your impact on those around you.

Real leadership isn't about being perfect.
It's about being consistent in the small moments.

Need simple steps to start?
Here are 5 proven strategies:

1/ Make Your Bed:
Start your day with one small victory.
It reminds you that you can achieve anything.
One win leads to another.

2/ Embrace Each Challenge:
Every successful journey has obstacles.
But you're stronger than you know:

↳ Face one fear at a time
↳ Support someone along the way
↳ Transform each obstacle into growth

3/ Master the Details:
Excellence grows in small moments.
Your progress matters, however tiny.

4/ Build Resilience:
It's okay to stumble. We all do.
What matters is rising again.

↳ Learn from setbacks.
↳ Adapt your approach.
↳ Keep moving forward

5/ Inspire Others:
Share your strength. Offer hope.
Lift others as you climb.

Remember:
Personal transformation is a daily practice.

It's been proven to me many times over
in medicine and business.

Don't wait for the perfect moment.
Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you can.

Your success begins with each tiny action you take.

9 Things You Should NEVER Say in a Job Interview:
(and exactly what to say instead)

I've interviewed many people over the years.

Top performers craft responses that show:

↳ Career potential
↳ Strategic thinking
↳ Emotional intelligence

What you DON'T say matters more than what you say. 🚨

Here's what you should never say in an interview:
(and what to say instead)

❌ My main focus is work-life balance
↳ This sounds like you're looking for a 9-5.
↳ And not willing to go above and beyond.

✅ What are the key performance metrics to focus on?
__

❌ My last manager was really unfair.
↳ This says: I'm difficult to work with.
↳ And I'm not accountable.

✅ I'm looking for an environment that prioritizes respect, growth, and collaborative communication
__

❌ So, what does your company do?”
↳ This shows you haven't researched the company.
↳ And you're not interested in understanding it.

✅ How has your company's strategy evolved over recent years?
__

❌ I'm not sure
↳ This shows you can't think for yourself
↳ And might be avoiding responsibility

✅ Let me check on that and confirm with you.
__

❌ How fast can I get promoted?
↳ This says: I'm more interested in my growth.
↳ And I haven't considered the company timeline.

✅ What does career development look like in this company?
__

❌ I need at least [X] salary.
↳ This says: I'm focused on money.
↳ And I'm not interested in aligning our needs.

✅ I'm looking for fair compensation aligned with my experience. Let's discuss the compensation range once
we determine the mutual fit.
__

❌ I’m just looking to leave my current company.
↳ Shows you don't have a good reason to join.
↳ And you're settling for this as a second choice.

✅ I'm passionate about this opportunity because...
__

❌ I'm open to any role you have.
↳ Says: I'm desperate for a job.
↳ And I don't value my skillset

✅ I know that based on my expertise in [X], 
I can make the most strategic impact in this role.
__

❌ I don't have any questions.
↳ Suggests you're only interested in the paycheck.
↳ And you haven't done your homework.

✅ What’s the team culture and collaborative style?

____

P.S.
Every answer impacts their perception of your value.
Prepare intentionally. Deliver confidently.
That's how you get the offer.
