Q: Why did you choose your present industry at this time?


More than 66% of employees are miserable at work. The corporate wellness space needs to be disrupted and improved. I have over 30 years experience helping companies create happier and more productive cultures. My firm proves that happier employees lead to greater profits.

Q: What is the best/worst moment you can remember in your career?

The best was when I walked up to the Owner and President of CBS Television Network (at a party in NYC of over 200 (none of whom would approach them), and told the owner that I would be working for him one day. Even though I was very nervous, I did it anyway. 3 months later, I was working at CBS, down the hall from Walter Cronkite. I believe in stepping outside the outer limits of your comfort zone to achieve lasting, positive change.

The worst moment was when I was told as a young executive that I needed to be a 'C' player for a while because, as an 'A' player, I was making my colleagues look bad. I didn't know how to process that, so continued to stay on the 'A' level. I started my own company after that.

Q: Who is your role model or hero?


My son Christopher. He is cognitively disabled, yet the happiest person I have ever known. He lives in the moment and is an inspiration for many of my messages to companies and employees.

Q: What is your favorite book?

'The Giving Tree' by Shel Silverstein. I give this book to every client.

Q: Do you use any specific method or system to run daily operations of your business?

Yes. We use a neuroscience, behavioral psychology based software to measure employee happiness in real-time with each of our clients. Based on this data we create customized workshops and internal solutions to turn workforces around. We also use a number of systems and processes to keep our firm running smoothly and happily.

Q: Looking back - if you could advise a younger version of yourself to do something different - what would it be?

Go for your dreams. The money will follow. And even if it doesn't, you will be happier because you are doing what you love. I started out going for my dreams, but then I compromised for the money. I was not as happy. I am now following my dreams again and am both happy and successful.
