December 30, 2024
Annually, for the past few years, I have publicly shared my various experiments, and resultant findings, in my approach to living a life in full as a LinkedIn Top Voice article. I’ve often written herein that having a proverbial New Year’s Resolution may not be the best, and certainly not the only, approach to living a full and satisfying life. I am not the first one to think so either - Jesse Itzler has his Life Resume approach, Tim Ferriss does an annual past-year review (PYR), Chris Guillebeau and others suggest Life Audits, Jodi Wellman’s book You Only Die Once offers a gold mine of practical tools to living a life of no regrets, wrapped in a wonderfully humorous writing
style (be sure to listen to our conversation on my podcast (Episode #101) as well, she’s awesome). And, similar to prior years, this is my contribution to LinkedIn's #bigideas and #bigideas2025.
The Days Are Long, But the Years Are Short
Echoing Gretchen Rubin’s quote, Jodi also wants us to think about recording the moments of our life, and likewise, my dear friend, colleague, founder, and author, Octavia Goredema, has pointed out that the velocity in which the years pass is astonishing, and we thus need to “Pause, reflect, and recognize our growth” and do our own Annual Personal Performance Review. To quote:
1. Start With a Snapshot
Write down a summary of the last six months or year. This could include milestones you’ve hit, challenges you’ve faced, or habits you’ve formed.
2. Ask Yourself Key Questions
To dig deeper, reflect on these areas:
• What have I learned? Think about the skills, insights, or knowledge you’ve gained.
• What worked well? Identify the habits, strategies, or tools that helped you succeed.
• What could be improved? Be honest about where you struggled and why.
• What surprised me? Often, we discover unexpected strengths or interests when trying something new.
3. Identify Patterns and Takeaways
Review your answers for recurring themes. Are there areas where you consistently shine? Challenges that keep coming up? Use these insights to highlight what you should lean into and what you might need to adjust.
4. Set New Goals
Reflection is powerful when you use it to move forward. Use what you’ve learned to set actionable goals for the next phase of your journey. Focus on playing to your strengths and addressing areas where you want to improve.
Giving yourself a performance review doesn’t have to be a once-a-year exercise. You can choose to set aside time every six months or at the end of a big project to reflect. Put it on your calendar to ensure it happens. And when you do so, don’t just focus on what needs improvement, take time to acknowledge and celebrate what you’ve achieved. Brilliant Octavia, brilliant. I’m a big fan of all these approaches.
Here is a quick sampler for those looking for additional tools and inspiration:
• Shane Parrish’s annual review framework.
• The Most Important Question of Your Life by Mark Manson.
• So you wanna de-bog yourself by Adam Mastroianni.
• 63 principles by Nabeel S. Qureshi
• 101 Additional Advices by Kevin Kelly.
• You can’t hoard life by Oliver Burkeman.
• StoryCorps has an incredible collection of insightful questions on a variety of topics.
• The Legacy Project has a wealth of resources; here are some of their free questions.
• Jodi Wellman’s Your Life Review (Before You Go and Die).
For me, ever since I was a teenager, I have been cooking-up and doing a variety of challenging or interesting things, of which I keep a running tally that combines the to-do with the-done. I call mine, simply The List. My Life List serves as both my go-to manual and my logbook. I’d recommend picking and choosing what may seem to be a fit for your life’s experiences, try them on or out, discard what isn’t a fit, keep what does, and rinse and repeat.
(Also, on a sad and personal note, this all has become even more focal for me and my family as we have lost a number of friends and colleagues, and had others fall ill with debilitating and life altering illnesses, all within a relatively short amount of time these past few months. It’s really added to the gratitude side of the lifeequation and highlighted the need to appreciate and savor what we have, and to be obliged to not squander a moment. To live with "no regrets" as Jodi says.)
Passion and Projects
One of my primary activities (and passion) is running a non-profit, The Center for Global Initiatives, and so I create a public annual report or review of what’s been done and what’s coming up in terms of the work and projects. Some of these can do double duty as updates to GuideStar ratings or Great-Nonprofits rankings as well. This article will serve as the 2024 look-back for our Center’s work.
If you’re new to the Center, this will also serve as an introduction to our efforts and outcomes, and to perhaps add a dash of inspiration and a big helping of tools and resources that we provide, always-free-all-the-time. Some of what follows is new, and for those of you already familiar with our work, some will be hopefully a helpful refresher.
My goals have always been to champion the power of the small project (with a tip-of-the-hat to William Easterly), to reduce the difficulty and friction for those interested in wanting to do something good for others in need, and to open-source humanitarian intervention (be sure to see the Appendix Tool Box at the end of this article). In the process of those concomitant actions, the following has evolved.
This year, as the title hints, I thought I’d take a creative leap and combine both into one article with apologies for its length. I think the reason for this was that as I drew up my notes for what were to become two separate pieces, I kept seeing an overlap and I began to have difficulty parsing what activity fit into what category. It then (finally) occurred to me that in my approach to living a full life, my work provides not only purpose, but it’s fueled by passion. The results are tangible projects and results, as I’ll soon cover, but also, I have come to realize, there is a chain-reaction that yield by-products of joy, excitement, energy, and that combo-pack is housed in the crucible of gratitude.
I’m guessing that many of you reading this have experienced this phenomenon or something similar. If not, or not yet, then what follows may provide some ideas, or at least clues, that may be of help in your work and journey. I’d like to think so. Regardless, here’s what’s been done, being worked on, and coming on the horizon. Here goes…
What’s New with the Center’s Work
Global Ambassador Program
We’re in the midst of researching and developing a program to serve as a Global Ambassador where you can travel the world and make it a better place.
I served as a Delegation Leader in South Africa, Czech Republic and Poland for the Citizen Ambassador Program. That Program was initiated in 1956 by the US State Department under the Eisenhower Administration as he envisioned private citizen exchanges, where citizens of diverse cultures would gain an international understanding of their peers and professions, through the incountry exchange of ideas and experiences. My two tours as a Delegation Leader were amazing and rewarding experiences, and I look forward to this opportunity to grow this approach even further with our Program.
Similar to the State Department’s Program, the APA has an International Learning Partner Program that I have also been a part of–participating in projects to Kosovo and Cuba. The idea with all of our Programs is to develop relationships with non-US based sites, centers, organizations and universities (that may also become part of our Consortium), in order to support and further the principles brought forth the in APA's Global Impact The Power of Partnerships, as well as global health aspects and sustainable development. In addition to meetings with leaders in the field, our Delegates would exchange knowledge, ideas and resources, with the goal of long-term international relationships and collaborations. While we may focus on mental health, the Program is not exclusive to psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, or social workers; we seek to have diverse Delegations of professionals (and their partners/family members are welcome as well) from all fields and walks of life. The uniting thread will be delegates’ desire to be of service, continuing learning, and global travel experiences.
The ethos is that of shared collaboration and learning, no West-knows-best hubris or Colonialist egoism. Like the APA, the idea is to provide and support “the unique opportunity to gain insights into psychology and mental health care across the world, learn from international colleagues…” through professional meetings and also to provide time to enjoy and experience the culture, environment, and people in the areas visited.
The initial planning for our Program includes visits to university, hospital, clinical, community and governmental settings that work with issues of addiction and rehabilitation, trauma, education, aging, policy, immigration, refugees, medicine, global and public health, program development, research and areas of potential collaboration and mutual interest. And where applicable, we also hope to be able to provide Continuing Education credits (CEUs, CMEs, CECs) for clinically licensed
Delegates. As we are in the nascent development stage, we would value any ideas, contacts, and suggestions of any sort as we build this Program out.
Syrian Refugee Crisis
One of our newest partners is The Hope Team via our provision of humanitarian aid and support. In Lebanon, over a thousand people have lost their lives, and tens of thousands are injured. Many refugee families have fled to Arsal, seeking refuge. A generally unknown problem is that the shelters set up are only for Lebanese citizens, leaving Syrian refugees to rely on relatives or live in overcrowded camps. Some tents house five families, and there are no rental homes available. In their words “We can hear the explosions in Hermel and Baalbek, and the skies are constantly filled with aircraft and missiles. Everyone is on edge, fearing sudden attacks and the possibility of another war. The economic situation was bad, but the conflict has worsened it dramatically. Prices of necessities have skyrocketed, making it nearly impossible to secure daily food.”
The Miller School of Medicine MD/MPH Program at the University of Miami Partnership I’m proud to announce that we have been invited to Partner with the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine’s MD/MPH Program’s Department of Public Health Sciences. I gave an invited talk to entering medical students this past summer. It’s such an honor to be of collaborative assistance in the next generation of physicians with a subspecialty in Public Health.
JAIDE (Joining Actions for Economic Integration and Development)
JAIDE is a non-governmental organization based in Montpellier, France. It was founded in 2024 with a mission to promote the integration and economic development of disadvantaged communities in Asia and Africa.
In the fall we were contacted by Kamagate Mamadou, Vice President of JAIDE to establish an association with them working in Humanitarian Aid (Emergency relief, WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Food security and nutrition, Agriculture and climate change, Healthcare, Education, and Shelter and infrastructure) and Social Development (Women's empowerment, Livelihood support, Human rights, and Capacity building).
Emergency Shelter for Homeless LGBT Youth in Uganda
We are working with Jonathan Rotenberg to address Housing & Public Accommodations Laws via Section 9 in Uganda which makes it illegal for any landlord or innkeeper to knowingly rent accommodations to gay people. According to Section 9, any property owner who knowingly rents a room to an LGBT person “commits an offence and is liable, on conviction, to imprisonment for a period not exceeding 7 years.” As a result, Section 9 has caused a growing epidemic of LGBT evictions and homelessness in Uganda, and John's work is focused on helping.
Safe Waters
I have been recently invited to help with the establishment of a new 501(c)3 dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and empowering space for active duty, reserve, and veteran Coast Guardsmen who have experienced sexual assault and harassment within the Coast Guard. Their mission is to foster healing, promote resilience, bolster prevention, and create a community where survivors are empowered to share their experiences and find solidarity. It will be open to all individuals who have experienced sexual assault and harassment while serving in the military, regardless of gender or background.
StoutMedia
In 2018 we started the podcast Living a Life in Full. Since then it’s grown an audience reach over of over 4 million, appears on 65 platforms, and is ranked in the Top 5% of Podcasts by ListenNotes. We’re heading into our 8th Season with a deep bench of guests that we are thrilled to host. The show supports the Center’s work with a public service announcement in the intro on our Center’s work and references our Patreon fundraising link and associated services available there. Most all of our guests have an involvement in humanitarian or charitable work as well.
That grew into other media projects including:
• Executive Producer for the documentary Somewhere Else Together
• Education Channels on YouTube:
• An eight episode series on writing and getting published
• Various topical Lectures and Webinars
• The Living a Life in Full Podcast Series and Shorts
• Easy Upgrades | Few Tools | No Experience Series on BMW Motorcycle Tweaks, and
• A Beginner’s Guide to Road Racing/ Racing to Help Others Series
The Racing to Help Others Series serves as the merging of my interest in cars and racing as a fund and awareness raising project to the work of the Center and sponsor, Young Automotive (who repair and donate cars to those in need). It’s a bit similar approach to my past fundraising climbs, Summits for Others. A difference from the climbing expeditions is that now that the racing season is over, all the equipment in the videos is for sale as a fundraiser with all proceeds being donated to the Center. As noted on the channel, it’s our perspective that to properly live one’s Life in Full, it should include an aspect of being of service to others, and relates back to the overarching point of this piece.
A facet of personally living my life in full has included what I like to call Weirdo Challenges, so, for me it is a natural evolution to venture into motorsports and the combining of physical with mechanical challenges and being a benefit to others. The goal of this series is to raise media awareness of our Center’s work as well as funds for our projects.
That work led to being selected as a Motorsports Brand Ambassador for Hammer Nutrition, and with the success of our 2024 Season, I was invited to sign on as a Contracted, Sponsored Athlete with Hammer for the 2025 Season. All this is a great example of stacking, integrating, and symbiosis of work, with a great outcome.
What's Not New with the Center's Work Top Ranking
We are very proud to have been endorsed by Great Nonprofits continually since 2013 and we continue to maintain our Platinum Level Rating from GuideStar.
Azerbaijan State University
We are awaiting word back on the signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Psychology Department of Azerbaijan State University of Economics or Azərbaycan Dövlət İqtisad Universiteti Cənubi Qafqaz in collaboration with the Consortium for Humanitarian Intervention.
Climate Change
We are also proud to announce that we are expanding our research and resource work in psychology and global health advocacy, practice, and education to now include aspects of climate change. This will be in support of both the American Psychological Association’s work and the World Health Organization’s work in this important area, globally.

My Personal Highlight Reel for 2024
• Did a Polar Bear Plunge in Lake Michigan on 1 January.
• One of my publishers invited me to author second editions of two of my books, which was a new experience. A bit of a pain, however, but I’m happy to do it.
• Another publisher released a paperbound version of one of my books Terrorism, Political Violence, and Extremism: New Psychology to Understand, Face, and Defuse the Threat, which was much easier on me.
• I continue to be invited to work with a number of cool startups - HighTop Health, Fire Memos, SoulsHub, and Biosysco, as well as with two private equity groups. I also continue to serve as Chief Clinical Officer and Adviser for Prevail Health.
• Speaking of startups, this summer I received word that I was named to the 2024 Top 30 List for Leaders in Startups. I can honestly say that I'm still in shock by being on this list of truly amazing individuals like Alisa Cohn, Peter Thiel, Ben Horowitz, David Rose, Laura Gassner Otting, Tim Draper, Seth Godin, Gary Vaynerchuk, John Doerr, Jason Calacanis -- and that I can’t shake this creeping feeling there has been a mistake. While being known as a “Startup Whisperer,” with this recognition, it now feels more like a full throated, public pronouncement. I am truly grateful (and remain over the moon).
• And along those same lines, I was invited to appear on the NASDAQ billboard next summer in honor of my career as a Founder of various startups and programs.
• I lived long enough to become a Life Member of the American Psychological Association.
• I received a notification that on December 2024, the Class of 2025 will be inaugurated, and I have been named as one of the “Top Doctors” trained in Medicine, Clinical
Psychology, Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Optometry from over 150 countries. As such I have been invited to the 2025 Doctors’ World Gala to accept a Lifetime Achievement Award on the island of Sardegna in Italy.
• What an honor! I must say though, I don’t feel old enough to have earned a “lifetime” award as I’m not done yet! I look forward to seeing many “old” friends there, and I am very thankful.
• I was invited to deliver the Commencement Address for the Class of 2024 at the IU School of Science.
• I set 2 Land Speed Racing records at the Arkansas Mile.
• I placed 4th in Mr. Health and Fitness 2024, which is pretty funny.
• Was invited to give a talk in Manila, so I took the opportunity to also canvass sites and organizations for the above mentioned Global Ambassador Program. It was actually less expensive to make the hike a circumnavigation trip. That gave the additional opportunity to be inducted into the Circumnavigator's Club.
• I gave a fair number of other invited talks, just not as far away.
• I was accepted to attend SEMA for the week, as media and covered it for my channel. It's a pretty wild event if you love the blend of creativity+engineering+craftsmanship and been a long time in coming vis-à-vis my personal bucket list.
• I completed a 1000 Mile Mountain Mille Rally - and placed and trophied(!), along with 5 days of hiking in state and national parks on the way out and back.
• I raced in five events over three days at Road America in the Ultimate Street Car Challenge.
• Completed 44+ miles in The Ice Age Challenge.
• Signed a contract as a Sponsored Athlete for Hammer Nutrition (pretty proud of that one).
• I even won a ribbon for an abstract painting I entered at the Door County Fair.
• It was also a humbling to have my efforts recognized via two awards and to have earned some ribbons for my Coast Guard work as a Division Staff Officer, 9th Western Region of the Auxiliary Branch, and for 2025, I was appointed as a Flotilla Staff Officer for Green Bay.
Philanthropy
I feel fortunate to continue for the fourth year in a row to be able to donate 100% of my annual clinical salary to charities and causes that I believe to be worthwhile. These include Endowed Gift Agreements serving to establish two need-based academic scholarships - one for undergraduates (“RECORD”) in the IU School of Science’s Psychology and Neuroscience Departments, and the other to establish a ClinicalPsychologyStudentSupportFundfor graduate students in the PhD Program. I also was able to establish and endow the IUIndianapolisSchoolofScienceMental HealthCenterFundto provide free services mental health services to students who cannot otherwise afford care.
How to Do All This – “Stacking”
While it may seem that I have done a fair number of things, it must be kept in mind that I have been at it for going on four decades, and things just start to add up after a while. Just live long enough and the lifetime recognitions will come I suppose.
As for being productive in what may seem to be diverse areas, I practice what I refer to as “Stacking.” That is, I strive to combine multiple activities the service to support the other, or towards an ultimate goal. That may seem confusing at first, so here are a few examples. While I was in graduate school, I did not learn about the mechanics of starting or building a private practice, which was a critical goal in my early career. I learned a great deal by working for others in their practices, and by reading and learning about startups, entrepreneurship and small business development. I took that and applied it to my own eventual practice and refined and iterated over time. I then mustered up the courage to articulate some aspects into a presentation and by doing so I learned by helpful critique and feedback from the audience, as well as their questions. Over time, I started to use some of what I was learning and developing, and I integrated it into some of the graduate courses I was teaching. For example, in an objective assessment course I taught, I added how to consider pricing and CPT coding for the tests administered and subsequent reports, what it cost to buy equipment and computerized scoring services, how insurance and managed care contracts effected payment, all in addition to the proper administration of the tests, scoring, and interpretation of findings. This all led to a book on assessment and managed care.
I expanded this focus on applied considerations of clinical activities into practice management, employment and consulting contracts, marketing, and risk management into graduate ethics courses I taught. Eventually, compiling this material resulted in a co-authored book entitled Getting Started in Private Practice. This is an example of what I refer to as “content stacking.” That is, starting with a topic, or idea, or endeavor, and using it in a number of ways. In this example, I started with identifying a need (starting a private practice) and grew it by my experiences and observations being part of others’ practices, incorporating feedback and ideas gained from my public presentations, refined them by being informed through the available literature and via my courses’ didactics, into a book.
While a bit similar to the symbiotic process as noted prior, content stacking differs in that it more so is an individual working on the task, but using various methods and approaches that are each a
positive benefit. In this example, one “project” was part of practicing, teaching, presenting, writing, and publishing. And each activity along the way was independently a positive activity in-and-ofitself, as well as being a foundational building block to construct the eventual work product a popular book. (As a postscript, the work continues on as a more recent version entitled Getting Better at Private Practice. In this iteration it is an edited book incorporating experts in various additional areas of practice.)
I used this approach with my initial foray into examining the use of psychological principles in policy development, which supported a subsequent appointment through the APA to work as a special representative to the United Nations, along with related talks and a co-edited book, The Psychology of Diplomacy, with Harvey Langholtz. This then was foundational to a number of other books, papers, and lectures. All of these activities can provide a number of portfolio career benefits:
• Aid in exposure to audiences that are in psychology
• Aid in exposure to audiences that are outside of psychology
• Add to your find-ability on relevant topics in search engines
• Add to your curriculum vita, which can assist in academic ranking and promotion and/or job and consulting opportunities
A final example is reaching an audience via various social media and other platforms. My podcast, Living a Life in Full, is “findable” on a number of Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds as well as nearly two-dozen podcast specific platforms. The importance of such seemingly overkill of ubiquity is that most listeners use only one, favorite platform, and if a show is not available on their preferred platform, it is unlikely they will switch to a new platform for just one show, or even become aware of its existence. That type of syndication is quite easy, and often automated. The podcast’s focus overlaps with my LinkedIn Top Voice on global health, technology, and humanitarian activism, and my related LinkedIn Monthly Newsletter, Tools for Change. As for content stacking, in addition to the podcast platforms for listening, once I have completed an interview, I create a comprehensive, HTML-linked reference article on the episode that includes images, and I publish it in my LinkedIn Influencer blog. This accomplishes a number of things:
• It satisfies LinkedIn’s expectation of my being active as a LinkedIn Top Voice (and not posting with regularity risks my decommissioning)
• It expands the exposure and awareness of my guests and their work
• It serves as a de facto set of show notes so listeners can learn more if curious to do so
• Adding images can be helpful to a podcast and audience engagement in the topic and guest
• Readers who may be unaware of the show, but have an interest in the topic or guest, are provided with links so they can listen and subscribe
• I scrape and reformat the LinkedIn article into a PDF and post it under “Talks” in Academia.edu, as a tool for repurposing with attribution, the content to be available to yet another audience
Thus, the work that goes into the production of one episode, while very time consuming, can provide annuity-like returns in terms of wider audience reach and subscriber-base. This is good for the show’s numbers, the guest’s exposure, and the audience’s edification and enjoyment.
Experience Stacking
Similar to the combinations of activities discussed in content stacking, various experiences can also serve as overlapping experiential learning opportunities and connection making. I will refrain from going into detail on this last aspect due to space, but I hope this may be sufficiently descriptive to be of help or at least idea creation.
I know that some practices and healthcare provider settings often foster a staff member taking the initiative to develop a specialized program and pilot it. It can be a “safe” platform to experiment or test your entrepreneurial interests while employed in your current position. Academic centers may foster and support going after new projects, grants, and foundation initiatives. Success or failure with these initiatives are all learning experiences that can be parlayed into your own independent startup or a consultation practice. Here are some examples of experience stacking:
• I used my undergraduate computer science programming (coding) experience and applied it to my initial clinical work in developing a rudimentary differential diagnostics program to help me in my foray into independent clinical practice. I was able to publish on it as well yes, also content stacking. This was foundational to later involvements with National Computer Systems and various technology startups.
• Combining my grant writing experience in academia and state government, I was invited to serve as Principal Investigator for a National Science Foundation sponsored Small Business Innovation Research grant for a current startup that I am a Managing Director for.
• The application of off-the-shelf technology tools afforded by what was known as “Web 2.0” advances in my nonprofit was a key aspect of not only helping our work, but I believe it was also what helped me to earn an honorary doctor of technology degree from Purdue.
• Work in the technology, global health, nonprofit, and humanitarian space is what I believe led to invitations to TED and subsequently collaborating with its founder Richard Saul Wurman on one of his books, as well as invites to The Renaissance Weekend, and other, non-psychology-centric events.
• Along those same lines, these activities and their results, gave rise to being invited to serve as faculty at the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, and to have its Founder, Klaus Schwab, kindly author the foreword to one of my books.

A Final Note
All of the proceeding is made all the richer as it is shared with my family and friends. Sometimes it’s in the celebration of a success, other times is their support lent to me during a struggle, and best are the opportunities to share with important others the actual doing of the thing together.
Thanks everyone, I can’t wait to continue on.
