I believe that everyone deserves the right to be inspired and an active participant in their own lives and that starts with how I define engagement. As a passionate Cannes Lion winning, Forbes 30 under 30 ed-tech leader, my mission is to revolutionize the way we measure and enhance learning through engagement. I am the best-selling author of The Seventh Level, which is based on my proprietary methodology, The Seventh Level, adapted from the research of renowned researchers Bangert-Drowns and Pyke. My framework and curriculum has been taught in MBA and Marketing programs all over the world, (HowardU, Emerson, Yale) and has been shared with 1400 professors in partnership with HubSpot. My ed-tech venture LearningFREQUENCY applies this framework and helps students develop a love for learning by transforming the way we understand, measure and increase engagement in and out of the classroom.With over 15 years of experience in education, hospitality, marketing, branding, and experiential, I have helped companies and educators how to define, assess, and understand engagement in a meaningful way. I have empowered individuals and companies to build an engaged community of customers based on meaningful metrics. I co-founded CatalystU, a learning platform that teaches how to apply this deep understanding of engagement so that anyone can build a community of seventh-level customers, from the ground up.As the Co-founder of CatalystCreativ, an award-winning community design agency cofounded with Tony Hsieh in 2012, I have worked with fortune 100 companies and a plethora of start-ups and nonprofits such as Coke, Dell, The Raiders, Google, TNC, W Hotels, on community building, brand development, and design, experiential marketing, and strategic consulting. I am also Co-founder of Runway Health, the first DTC telehealth brand focused on travel health. I am an active angel investor, venture partner and advisor, (ex: HubSpot, SEED, Boundless, Kiddie Kredit, Clay, Solsten, New Stand, Village, Legends, SEEN,) speaker (ex: TedX, INBOUND, Founders Forum, Summit), and writer (ex: Forbes, Entrepreneur, Business Insider,) sharing my knowledge and experience to inspire and educate others on the importance of engagement in learning and community building. I have been featured in Inc Magazine, Time, The Wallstreet Journal, Fast Company, etc. If you got this far (!) thank you for your time and energy, and I would absolutely love if you would follow me to have meaningful conversations on how to enhance engagement in education and empower all humans.
