My Open Letter to You
We live in a crowded, over-stimulated, pressure filled, and media-crazed culture. Where it's so easy to feel hidden, feel invisible.
Where it's so easy to fall prey to the pressures of conformity, impression management, validation seeking, and emotional reactivity, and living for others.
Where the personal development industry has blown up because people are actively looking for insight, wisdom, and answers to elevate their human experience.
To find more meaning.
To feel inspired & empowered
To feel more passion & purpose.
To get out of our own way.
The reality is most people are stuck in a state of cognitive rigidity.
This is why it's so hard to change, so challenging to see beyond your current circumstances. Most people get externally triggered. They are aren't powered from within. They aren't coming alive from within. They are reacting from their environment.
They need to turn DOWN the volume of the outside world and turn UP the volume within them. They need to learn to develop and tell their own story.
They need to tap into their own Mad Genius, the most disruptive, distinctive, and expressive version of us (a state within each of us, although for many it's in hibernation or under layers of conditioning)
They need a transformation.
This is what I have dedicated my life to.
In my work as a humanistic psychiatrist and transformational scientist, I held prestigious academic titles at the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience for over a decade. I had the opportunity to publish in well-known peer reviewed medical journals. I founded, operated, and exited a high end mental health center in Beverly Hills, California. I've worked with everyone from A-list actors, rock stars, royalty, and well-known politicians, to the most disenfranchised homeless and incarcerated individuals, helping all of them to overcome their blocks and resistance and elevate their human experience.
Why do I tell you this?
Because I learned HOW to transform and as such, built a personal life transformation program, Master The Madness, to deepen your relationships, attract new opportunity, and build your story. And I built a professional business training, Mad Genius, to show Health & Wellness professionals how to expand your speaking, storytelling, messaging, and presence to become a disruptive communicator with much more influence and impact in your industry.

JOIN THE MADNESS MOVEMENT
There is madness in all of us; that self-destructive, chaotic, stressed out energy AND that creative, original, curious and inspirational energy. My work in helping people live with more passion and purpose is to help them shift this madness energy. That is the central theme behind the Madness Movement. To make the declaration to live with more passion and meaning.
This monthly update is my sharing of wisdom, practical take-aways, secrets, and insider information on how to live a more meaningful, passionate, and prosperous life through personal discovery, personal branding, shifting your energy, and tapping into the Mad Genius in you.
The Madness Movement is centered on embracing your madness; what makes you different, your experiences, your challenges, your curiosity, your innate abilities, your distinction and originality.
In a world filled with negative influence and massive pressure to conform, we need to be constantly reminded how to lead a more meaningful and passionate life for more influence, impact, and authenticity, to become who we are meant to be.
Once a month, I share information, experiences, techniques, and tips from psychology, advertising, neuroscience, existentialism, entertainment, and pop culture, to help you elevate the human experience.

Hi! I'm Reef.
As someone who has spent much of my life living for other people, and searching for what truly gives me meaning and inspiration, much of my neuroscience training, psychological training, spiritual training, performance training, and lived experience has centered on what makes people come alive.
I always thought I was different; a performer in a doctor's body (or a doctor in a performers body) using both the creative and linear networks in my mind concurrently. It was my type of "crazy" or "eccentric" or "weird".
And then the world changed.
We became a culture so inundated with technology and media (more than our minds can process), that more and more people started feeling uninspired, unexpressed, unrealized, and overstimulated. More and more people started seeking personal development to find more meaning and navigate the stressors in their life. People wanted deeper relationships but didn't know how to create them. So many want to connect but don't know how.
As humans we need to connect and feel inspired and feel like we're doing something that matters.
And in business, particularly in this media-crazed culture, we need to connect to be seen; for brand awareness, for client acquisition, for sales, for scaling our business.
Over time, I realized that my unique set of skills; my background in humanistic psychiatry and neuroscience, behavioral economics and neuromarketing, existential psychology, and training and significant experience in television, film and digital performance (writing, acting, improv, hosting, directing, producing, speaking) is the perfect integration to help empower people, skill-build, and heal in our current culture.
That's what I do.
Mad Genius for professional development
Master The Madness for personal development.
Whether you're a personal brand CEO, health & wellness professional, or corporate director looking to upgrade your skills, or a fellow human looking for more inspiration and meaning in your life while navigating a sometimes toxic culture, I got you.
I'm always creating content to help people, offering services to work together, speaking at events, collaborating with companies, co-producing on media projects, and lending my talent to help others.
THIS is my mission.
