🧑‍💼 Who am I?
Hi, I’m Jared, a passionate explorer of human behavior and decision-making. I hold a Ph.D. in chemistry and spent over a decade as an R&D manager at a Fortune 500 company, but I consider myself less of a scientist, more of a gameshow host. Recently, I left my successful career, returning to school to pursue my MBA. I’m fascinated with why people-including myself-often make illogical choices. This curiosity sparked the creation of my CZcams channel, where I dive into topics like behavioral economics, productivity, and professional development. Combining my scientific training over four decades of living as a human, interacting with others and doing dumb things myself, I aim to share insights that help you optimize your life.

Hello Jared, I’m a firm believer of solid state of time, this means if I have a highly productive 5 hrs of work supporting my clients and book of business it’s much better then 8 hours of mediocre productivity. Take time for yourself, to be your best self to be the best for clients.
