He was an exceptionally well respected, titan of the #medtech industry who lead companies like @IntuitiveSurg & Mazor Robotics to great heights.

(2/5) Sells was a one-of-a-kind gentleman, who not only inspired professionally but also personally. He was a family man &
(3/5) to quote his amazing wife Michelle he was “A verifiable ‘go-to guy’, a closer, a true born leader who never met a stranger or a dilemma he didn’t look straight in the eye.”

In honor of his spirit, I would like to start a tradition with all of his mentees and disciples.

There are 3 topics I am actively thinking about a lot these days:

Topic #1: Persuasion
I am interested in persuasion because it's probably the most powerful skill you could have in the world.
Topic #2: Psychology
I first got interested in psychology over ten years ago when I dropped out of medical school and started as a sales rep at Mazor Robotics, a medtech company.
My late mentor Chris Sells introduced me to it—and since then, I have learned a lot about the importance of observing how people make decisions, what actions they take, and why they did it.

Kicking off the first Monday of #2022NewYear with a splash!

I've been doing weekly #wimhoff ice plunges for years along with daily cold showers. Here's why (THREAD) Image
Back in 2015 I went through a difficult time in life. I was depressed, stressed out, and overall carrying a negative attitude.
I heard about #wimhoff and decided to try it. I started with ice cold showers every morning (still doing it).

Then while in Charlevoix during December I decided to go swim in Lake Michigan. It was 8 degrees outside

It was so painful and uncomfortable, but something changed.

My favorite Carl Jung quotes (a thread). #WednesdayWisdom Image
- Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams: who looks inside, awakes
- I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.

9/11 still gets me choked up. Im even more emotional looking at the photo below.

This country is by far from perfect, but there's a reason why the majority of people who leave their country to pursue their dreams say "Im going to America." #September11 1/5 Image
The people below were immigrants in a naturalization ceremony at the White House.

At the ceremony, President @realDonaldTrump said “Today, America rejoices as we welcome 5 absolutely incredible new members into our great American family." 2/5
These people didn't come to America just because of the money, the real estate, the healthcare, the education, etc. There are plenty of countries that are better in each of those categories.

They came here because of the idea of what it means to be an American. 3/5

This is unheard of. At 33 yrs age, @AndrewJSauer was recruited to @KUHospital @UnivOfKansas to co-found & grow an innovative contemporary heart failure, VAD and heart transplant program. 1/4 Image
This week I interviewed him on @PotreroMedical podcast "Hills & Valleys". There was a time that KU had to send all heart transplants out of state. 2/4
Now they are doing more transplants every year and no Kansas resident needs to leave the state for the procedure. Today, KU is showing remarkable numbers with regards to their heart survival rates and outcomes.

But the interview wasn't about accolades. 3/4
