kintsugi-ing a company [strategic plan part 2]
Six months later, we decided instead of operating the organizations as three separate entities, we should consolidate the operations. What follows describes the thought process behind several operational decisions made at Green Hill and AIM.
email 3: a leadership framework, algorithms + screens, body-mind
“Consume less and create more” is what I kept telling myself at the start of the year. It’s much harder than I thought it would be to keep up with biweekly emails, write new blogs, and stay on top of my other responsibilities.
my story on ashtanga yoga & recovery + trini foundation
Ashtanga yoga has been pivotal in my life over the past eight years. I would never have entered the recovery space without first being introduced to yoga, meditation, and the contemplative path.
the history of green hill + advaita integrated medicine [strategic plan part 1]
Where are Green Hill, Advaita Integrated Medicine (AIM), and Advaita Health Ventures (AHV) going? Before answering that, we must reflect on what got us to this point.

private pay treatment part 2: a critical look in the mirror
I wrote this series of posts on the private pay treatment world to explore ideas I’ve wrestled with over the past few years.

A running list of my favorite plant-based recipes.
happiness, god, and tennis
Having solved the meaning of life at the ripe age of eleven, it was time for more important things: tennis and the afterlife. I began thinking about death and how that relates to my happiness hypothesis. Happiness on earth is great, but what about eternal happiness?
board update 1.7.23: bts at advaita health
I established the board mainly for philosophical reasons — I believe that regardless of how talented and experienced you are, you could always use “adult supervision,” lest you drink your own Koolaid. Too many entrepreneurs espouse noble missions only to end up acting recklessly (ahem, SBF).
healthcare stakeholders at a glance
I believe that if we better understand the various stakeholders (and their perspectives), we can better work together to develop solutions that make high-quality healthcare more accessible and affordable. Taking a holistic approach allows us to escape the rampant zero-sum-game mentality in most negotiations between the below stakeholders.
