Dr. Jason Valadão is a family medicine and board certified sports medicine doctor, and he has been an active naval officer for over 20 years. Fake news is having a field day, and communications about the coronavirus are rife with misinformation. As a medical professional with boots on the ground, Jason gives us the fundamental facts about COVID-19. His unique perspective from the intersection of medical and military institutions touches on personal health, security, the government response to the crisis, and why this isn't just the flu.

Business Crisis Management & Employee Engagement

Businesses have been thrust into crisis management mode, hastily putting contingency plans into action. Small businesses and law firms are suffering cash flow issues, while larger companies are at the mercy of the stock market.

Taking inspiration from the military model, Dr. Jason believes this is the moment for leaders to get creative. We discuss management strategies, the importance of internal communications, and how employee engagement can unearth hidden, valuable skillsets.

Audit Your Personal Health; Level Up Your Performance

In times of crisis, entrepreneurs and leaders often let their personal health take the back seat. Jason talks fitness and home exercise from a medical standpoint. We dive deep into the mental and physical ramifications of poor sleep hygiene, and why the coronavirus quarantine could be the perfect time to reconsider your health habits.
