Bio: Travis Kellerman is a tech advisor, a writer, and an aspiring futurist. He see a future where the truth of our impact on each other will be revealed through data science. Human values will be redefined. Environmental, Social, and Governance variables will be incorporated as new, bottom-line metrics capable of saving our species from climate change. As an advisor to tech companies, Travis uses Pull Futurism to create the future rather than fear it. He co-builds strategy to convert a designed, preferred, humanist fiction into reality. His experience as a serial entrepreneur saw dramatic growth, challenges, funding, valuations, success, failure. As a co-founder of Lavu Inc., he led 4000% revenue growth and a global expansion into eighty countries - and survived the darkness of near-catastrophe. He went on to build data platforms, scale teams, and face new existential challenges at multiple startups in Southeast Asia. He uses those lessons and experiences to advise tech executives from the strategic level, from practical philosophy and constant iteration of mission, communications, product, and business model. His journey from politics to tech strategy is at traviskellerman.com Travis is writing a book on his journey of introspection. His Roadtrip Americana project led him through the complexity of individual American lives. Stories and hidden histories and root causes emerged. He now confronts his own stories in this book: why he tells them, how they control him, what he hides and how it hurts. In the wake of unprecedented rates of suicide among men like him, he looks at his own fear and pain to understand his own complexity and challenge the simplification of his identity. Why? Hurt people hurt people. They have shared experiences and unshared feelings. There is work to be done. He starts where he's able, with himself - by taking a long, honest look in the mirror. Updates and related articles will be made available at traviskellerman.com.

We talk about an alternative to healthcare for your family and your employees (something that may seem too good to be true) Katherine explains in detail how her clinic can offer patient-centric care that spends ample time with you and your employees and provides a new way healthcare should be with lower costs! If you are an entrepreneur or business owner please go here. Bio here: Katherine "KC" Devine Founder and C-FNP KC Devine Raver is a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience as a Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner. She was born and mostly raised in Albuquerque. She completed high school in Hawaii and earned her Bachelors of Nursing from the University of Hawaii. She commissioned into the Army after college as a Registered Nurse. She has experience in Pediatrics, Intensive Care Nursery, Oncology, Urology and Family Practice. In addition to Hawaii she has lived in South Carolina, Virginia, Texas and Washington, DC before ultimately returning home to Albuquerque. Never forgetting the foundation of diet and lifestyle, she believes that modern medicine has a lot to offer. Under her guidance, the treatment plans formulated at Well Life ABQ offer recommendations for nutrition, lifestyle, mental health, vitamins, herbs and yes, even medicine. KC is a Mother, Nurse Practitioner, Avid Reader and Popcorn Lover. She is the founder of Well Life ABQ. In addition to seeing her patients, her mission is to grow and train other Well Life ABQ providers. This way Well Life ABQ can offer great healthcare to many more people. Here is a statement of their mission and philosophy: We want to be your medical home sweet home. We offer PATIENT-CENTRIC care, by scheduling enough time to actually get to know you and listen. Instead of quickly writing a prescription or referring you to another provider, we work with you to overcome your health problems through nutrition, lifestyle, supplements and medicine. We are committed to helping you get well, stay well and live well. Our philosophy is happy patients and happy providers equals better healthcare. We offer multiple treatment options and educate on the risks and benefits. The patient ultimately decides, follows and incorporates those recommendations into their life. We believe that health insurance does not equal quality health CARE. In fact, most of the time insurance gets in the way of care. Instead we offer a cost-effective membership that revolutionizes the relationship between patient and provider. We still use your insurance for labs, tests and referrals when you tell us to. We also believe in transparent costs and no surprise bills. We have also negotiated some amazing discounts on common medications and labs. Most of the time those discounts are even cheaper than using insurance. As a membership family practice, called Direct Primary Care, Well Life ABQ is able to schedule enough time with you to actually get to know you and listen to you.

The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Achieving Your Wildly Important Goals by Chris McChesney, Sean Covey, and Jim Hulling. Amazing book get it here! This is part 3 we will do several parts to this book as it's that good! Here is a summary on the book: Do you remember the last major initiative you watched die in your organization? Did it go down with a loud crash? Or was it slowly and quietly suffocated by other competing priorities? By the time it finally disappeared, it's likely no one even noticed. What happened? Often, the answer is that the "whirlwind" of urgent activity required to keep things running day-to-day devoured all the time and energy you needed to invest in executing your strategy for tomorrow. The 4 Disciplines of Execution can change that forever. The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) is a simple, repeatable, and proven formula for executing your most important strategic priorities in the midst of the whirlwind. By following the 4 Disciplines—Focus on the Wildly Important; Act on Lead Measures; Keep a Compelling Scoreboard; Create a Cadence of Accountability—leaders can produce breakthrough results, even when executing the strategy requires a significant change in behavior from their teams. 4DX is not theory. It is a proven set of practices that have been tested and refined by hundreds of organizations and thousands of teams over many years. When a company or an individual adheres to these disciplines, they achieve superb results, regardless of the goal. 4DX represents a new way to think and work that is essential to thriving in today's competitive climate. The 4 Disciplines of Execution is one book that no business leader can afford to miss.
