I am former space tech entrepreneur turned brain researcher, author, and mental health advocate.Born in Kyrgyzstan during the collapse of the USSR, I spent my childhood in poverty. Financial hardships made me hungry for both knowledge and money.At the age of 14, I started university. By the time I was 16, I was running a design company and earned more than my parents. At 19, I received a full scholarship and moved to the U.S. to study at MIT. Fueled by ambition, I founded a satellite data startup. Within four years, my company was acquired by Astro Digital, an aerospace company based at NASA in Silicon Valley.At just 23, I found myself standing as the youngest executive in the world's aerospace industryBut despite the outward success, I was utterly miserable. This dark period served as a crucial turning point. It set me on a path of self-discovery, which eventually led me to my new life.At the age of 25, I made a life-changing decision: to quit my job and study the human brain instead of sending satellites into space. I was looking for something practical, something based on real, hard science.The system I've developed is called Agile Life. It's rooted in the latest neuroscience research and agile sprints. In 2020 I started Neurointegration Institute to share the tools that have transformed my life. Since then, we’ve trained over 27,000 people and multiple Fortune 500 companies from 40+ countries.
