The biblical account of Noah's Ark has long been recognized as a powerful symbol of salvation and divine protection through all Abrahamic religions. As a teenager, Noah lost 120 lbs and reversed an autoimmune condition through lifestyle changes. That sparked a serious interest in health, which began his career. Ark Wellness specializes in both ideation of what humanity really needs next, and what's required to make it happen. The ability to zoom in and zoom out is only valuable if you start with reverse engineering your highest vision of success and working your way backwards from there. Guided by a maxim that the process itself is richer than the opportunity or the outcome, a hyper present and focused approach is what allows the mind to clear fixed beliefs and create in tangent with a higher intelligence beyond our understanding. In working with clients, we take a conscious approach in co-creating based on putting the consumer audience before the needs of the founders or brands, which means a high degree of selectivity when deciding who we'd like to on board. Examples of clients include ALOHA, Ritual, P&G Ventures, Troscriptions, and most recently Betterandbetter.com

Fructose intolerance impacts 40% of the Western world, with its cause remaining unknown. Xylose isomerase, an effective digestive enzyme for this issue, isn't FDA-approved as a food grade enzyme additive or for supplement claims in the US, and is unavailable on shelves in the country. Surprisingly, despite its stricter regulations, Europe differs in this aspect. Learn more about this at the link below: https://lnkd.in/gS7v5AtT

How do we define the difference between polarizing people and galvanizing them? During my time at Ritual, Katerina Markov Schneider raised $25M to build a big brand for everyone, and she did it by first starting with a multivitamin vitamin targeted toward women. Starting in the market in a way that's narrow to then understanding the response to achieve broader reach is impactful, but founders often express reticence that they'll limit themselves, be boxed in or rendered as niche if they speak too specifically to certain audiences. Kenneth Cole Productions was the first major brand supporting gay marriage (with a billboard) 13 years ago when nationwide 80% didn't want it. Now over 80% do, and they're the largest privately held fashion company. Knowing your audience is often more lucrative than trying to appease everyone. From my perspective, rejection is part of the refinement needed that's key to embrace, and developing emotional pain tolerance around this is important for founders to succeed, especially in the impact space. Robin Albin will tell you herself timing is everything, and that it was considered risky to blow the whistle on skincare when she launched Origin, but now wouldn't even be considered as very market-differentiating. At 23 and with less than a year of experience, I quit my first job start-up job ALOHA. I was asked to make whey protein. I felt the marketing team was myopic and ageist in not hearing me. Even though vegan was only 20% of the market, I saw whey as overplayed and the plant-based movement as rising. I knew we needed a vegan brand, not vegan addendums to capture new eyes. They called me and rehired me to do vegan only after three weeks away, and now after a decade it's still a best seller at Target. From my perspective, appealing to everybody is unappealing, but I think there are many ways to success. What has been your experience?
I'm excited to start my new job! #newjob I am creating an online pharmacy focused on #mentalhealth care and #harmreduction for the American population. Currently, 20% of US citizens take psychiatric medication, and most of these drugs are going generic. FDA law requires generics to be within 30% reference range. Right now, your doctor could prescribe you 30 mg of adderall (ADHD medicine), then it could be filled generic with it's actually dose equivalency 39 mg when you go to Walgreens, and then the subsequent month go to CVS and it be 21 mg dose equivalency and say 30 mg adderall on the bottles. In this scenario you would be taking close to half the amount one month from the next, and even if you had a Beverly Hills concierge doctor to the stars, they'd not be educated on FDA regulations and therefore see you the patient as the one being the source of emotional problems and not being stable and healthy. Not only possible, it is happening frequently with certain drugs like lamotrigine, a bipolar medicine, with the current generic fills taking place. We will be providing a premium subscription for consumers for generics free of artificial colorants, fillers, and within 5% efficacy of origin brand name drugs

update on me: I just came on as a co-founder for betterandbetter.com, connecting in millions of dollars from a top 1% performing VC that's made strategic connections for us to artists like Beyonce's family, as well assigning my inventions like cultured human collagen zinc sunscreen that goes on the same color for all skin, probiotic floss that alters microbiome to reduce risk of cavities 10 -20x, and melatonin toothpaste that works significantly better than what's currently on the market for any use format available today, all rolling out in the coming months. Additionally, I'm involved in politics, and came up with an idea to start providing online voting for disabled voters that two US States are interested in deploying we're licensing from the Estonians. I've partnered with someone on the project that created the first and only blockchain currency for a country in El Salvador, which doubled financial inclusion within six months, and then came on as a policy advisor for Equal Innovation's working group at the G20, where we will be presenting in front of 250 policy makers in November. I also serve as senior policy advisor the G20 Brain and Mental Health working group, and quarterly in Congress for the Brain Initiative. I am ready to accelerate the globalization pretty much of any person or entity that’s ready for me. I am a post-partisan, having been on Fox and Friends during the last election cycle speaking out against Bernie Sanders, and September of last year hosted an fundraiser for the DNC with Jill Biden at Daphne Ziman’s house, which opened up $5M dollars from USAID for us to build smart city in the Congo. I experience myself as having other forms of knowing, and after predicting an explosion in New York City for colleague that lived close by the building with the gas leak, I began attracting attention for my abilities, provided a psychic reading for Deepak Chopra that was livesteamed and a Guardian feature. I have been enlisted as an intuitive for US and Chinese governments previously, celebrities, HNWIs, and last year Yale did brain research me on medical mediumship after identifying a brain tumor in a reading accurately. We’re keeping everything about my neurodivergence out the press for security, but you can easily google it about me. I no longer offer readings as a professional service, but I am open to more research around my abilities. into: International Ocean Governance Modernized nuclear power - silica beads for kinetic energy, 10x more stabilized thorium isotopes, microfision Nuclear clean up - genetically engineered bio-alagae to consume ocean rods & mycelium Media content around enviornmental health and SDGs Circular Economy Gender Equity and Inclusion Genocide & Poverty alleviation
"Hypomania, a genetically based mild form of mania, endows many of us with unusual energy, creativity, enthusiasm, and a propensity for taking risks. America has an extraordinarily high number of hypomanics--grandiose types who leap on every wacky idea that occurs to them, utterly convinced it will change the world. Market bubbles and ill-considered messianic crusades can be the downside. But there is an enormous upside in terms of spectacular entrepreneurial zeal, drive for innovation, and material success. Americans may have a lot of crazy ideas, but some of them lead to brilliant inventions. Why is America so hypomanic?" Dr. John Gartner, author of "Hypomanic Edge", argues hypomania as an epigenetic expression higher in our genetic pool that's linked to economic success. Perhaps Rodale Institute might disagree, and say it had to do with the high levels of mollisol in our environment that allowed us to win early on agriculturally. Either way, my question remains the same. How can something be diagnosed if it improves your quality of life? It isn't pathology so much as divergence. #neurodivergence is neologism outside US, Germany and Japan, and within these countries different types of #neurodiversity has no way of being described or defined outside of being recognized as pathology. When we shift from placing illness on the individual in pain and upgrade our culture into greater embrace, then we can make meaningful, measurable positive changes to better mental heath outcomes. If someone knows they're different, they can manage that (as opposed to treat) in an appropriate way to optimize. We need words other than a disease state or generality. These are types of discussions I'm interested in having to help inform Global Health Policy with Neuroscience20(BRAIN, SPINE and MENTAL Health) initiative, as well as every quarter in US Congress for The Brain Health Initiative with Babak Kateb. Interested in being part of the conversation? Reach out.

Last September I did an event with Democratic National Committee & Daphna E. Ziman, which forged a partnership with The White House, USAID, and Justice For Women. Introducing Justice For Women lead to us receiving $5M to build a #smartcity in Congo. In 2021, Germany made #genocide reparations in Africa and gave away 1.3B US in response to the erasure of 100,000 people years prior. France followed Germany by admitting they allowed the Rwanda government to slaughter 800,000, people. Financial amends, however, have yet not been made. During the same timeline in history, Belgium killed between 10M -15M people, and tortured and abused far more. Belgian has not admitted to genocide. In 2020, however, King Filip opened his heart with meaningful statements for the first time in history acknowledging the actions of previous generations. The Belgian Royal website says that King Leo II left all his money to the trust, and that much of his money came from the Congo. Asking Belgium to match Germany in numbers would mean over $100B, but it is impossible to enumerate lives. King Filip and his advisor Kris de Bruyne have a royal duty to see out the Royal incentives before him. This means that King Baudouin Foundation has an immediate need to forge formal partnerships with Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities, Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention, and with me to discuss how to accelerate #impact. I would love to start these conversations before my call with Chelsea Clinton in a couple of weeks. I've noticed that University of Cambridge discovered a few years ago that #tetrataenite can be made indoors using iron, nickel and heat. Tetrataenite is previously thought to only exist in meteorites, and is better and more advanced than all the minerals millions of slave work for in Congo they currently mining for right now. There tech is here to make slavery obsolete, let's deploy it please. I'm asking my friend Kaushik Kappagantulu to jump in with his friend Bill Gates, André Loesekrug-Pietri??who runs JEDI, and The White House. A couple of years ago the Biden administration set aside $280B for the new funding to boost domestic research and manufacturing of semiconductors in the United States, and there is no currently deployment or commercialization of #tetrataenite. Thank you Baria N. Daye at The World Bank for setting some aside to speak with me, and Ariel Meyerstein, PhD thanks for adding me to your network, U.S. Bank would be an ideal domestic deployment partner alongside your guidance Ann M. Veneman recently joined my board of advisors at Better & Better and I'm now asking her to work with me and my friend Xander Schultz who founded The Future US. Alongside with gathering the intelligence necessary, I'm calling upon the futurist James Hanusa to imagine a new reality with me, my ESG expert Danielle Azoulay & Mark Vlasic for international law
Dan Fishman decided that something that's never been done before wasn't as risky as following conventional norms. I'm sleeping better at night knowing that he's carving a new economic model of success that will ignite for many others to drive change. His work with Regeneration.VC has proven enough concept to earn the trust of the Dutch government, which is now the key base of all of their European green deals for a new circular economy. I'm feeling guided to draw attention to New Zealand's 2025 Go Circular Program! https://lnkd.in/g4EkPk5H Prime Minister Christopher Luxon thank you so much for joining my orbit on LinkedIn, I want to bring this alliance to your attention prior to the launch of the private-partnership you have set forth for New Zealand next year. Oceans and seas is a very important issue for New Zealand and one which we want to see well-reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ideally as a standalone goal. The extremely atypical approach New Zealand is deciding to take by focusing on only one SDG as a nation is extremely exciting to me. I am counting on Nelson Del Rio Jr and his work with World Ocean Council to help guide us forward as well! Mark Vlasic I look forward to chatting to soon about international law and deployment. One of the most important ways we can heal the world is by establishing Ocean Governance and Policy Alliance (OGPA), Deployment of cutting edge nuclear power could arguably immediately eradicate war in then Ukraine, but I believe it hasn't been done due to low public trust since the Fukushima nuclear which still hasn't been cleaned up. Todd Hathaway, former Head of Nuclear from US WMD, shared with me that
With the empirical evidence I've gathered, it seems like young economies, whether it be a new nation like Israel or one resurrecting from the grips of communism like Estonia, that the greatest risk for the economy has always been a lack of innovation, followed by it becoming too insular. Mature economies often are diametrical, see innovation as a risk, and interoperable globalization as a security threat. When something truly novel is brought into the world, there's a degree of inherent inauthenticity applying data for risk assessment, because the historical data is either an anachronism or at best an approximation of the entrepreneurial expression yet to be birthed. Global interdependence is a reality that's happening whether we care to agree and isn't the same thing as foreign dependencies, but there's no agreed shared definition between the two these delineations. We can't be moving in opposite directions & sustain. According to IBM, we have passed a threshold when human knowledge is doubling every year, but that prior to 1945 it was doubling every century. Literally that means that singularity is at a rate where a few years into the future could well be equivalent to a decade or greater in the past. Time doesn't mean the same thing and can't be tracked linearly so much with vectors and other types of 3D modeling that ultimately will become computationally necessary for any predictability, and too challenging to discern how to navigate the market without becoming fully dependent upon AI. It may already be the case whether or not we've admitted it to ourselves. Additionally, publishers still release new textbooks every 3-4 years within the education system, which puts younger generations at an unfair disadvantage because of the inherent knowledge curve that's arising. I had the pleasure of attending Andrew Grant at his TEDxHongKong in 2016, where he shared his forensic investigation around our collective loss of creativity. He shared insightfully that most lose touch with creativity at a very young age pointing to a poor education system and automation, while also citing research stating creativity is unilaterally preferred amongst any other traits for CEOs. We're all in a global economy, we all require creativity as a requirement to survival. Novel experiences are linked to preservation of brain tissue, whereas redundancy can increase cortisol in the brain and cause neural tissue to degrade. Here and now any labor that our mind knows could be outsourced to a machine renders a physical disease state. It's visually obvious with the data that English Lingua Franca is strongly correlated with women's equality, thought to be due to its status as a global language. Erasure of cultural identify is costly, but inequality is even more strongly linked to poverty. Globalism is the historical byproduct of abuse, but it is our acceptance of it as present reality to be done with grace & adaptive mechanism to collective growth and healing.
