🧑‍💼 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.
