The Braintrust "Driving Change" Podcast Creators & Guests

Former sales & marketing executive, entrepreneur, author, farm boy, cancer survivor.From his humble beginnings on a midwest farm in central Ohio, He's taken the life lessons from his storytelling “Papaw” (Grandfather) combined with his corporate career in Biotech and Neuroscience to help people discover how they're truly wired for greatness and how to communicate in an authentic way to drive positive change in the world around you. After being the first person in his blue-collar family to graduate college straight out of high school, he spent his corporate career in Biotech, where he led several product launches for genetic cancer therapies. One of those therapies was for brain cancer. It was here that he discovered the power of neuroscience and the fact that outside of academia, most of corporate America didn’t really understand how the brain actually worked, otherwise we wouldn’t communicate with customers and employees the way it was currently being done.From there, he set out with a new mission: to teach others what he's learned about the biology, psychology, and physiology of the brain and how to apply those learnings simply and understandably to be more impactful communicators
