Reef Karim Gains Access to a Bold Community of Alternative Healthcare Leaders

I had the opportunity to speak at the Mindshare Summit and it was a really rewarding experience primarily because this is not a typical healthcare conference or a health and wellness event. It attracts a very specific type of person. The type of person that's willing to be a little more rebellious in their practice and boldly go to a place that perhaps traditional medicine isn't going. So it's alternative treatment. As a speaker you get to be introduced to an entire community, an entire ecosystem of smart, talented people that are willing to be bold. And to me that was invaluable. Hi, I'm Reef Karim. I'm the CEO of Madness, Inc. And I'm a humanistic psychiatrist and an overall health communicator. I've known JJ Virgin for quite a long time and I've gotten to know Tim, Dave Asprey - there's many people that are leaders in the healthcare community and really the general public. And they're kind of behind the scenes here and sometimes in front, putting this whole thing together and just having the opportunity to get to know them better has been great because we've collaborated on different events and collaborated on different projects and health communication events so it's been really rewarding. My brand has really focused on two things: my background is in mental health and neuroscience and reimagining mental health from the perspective of energy and creativity but also I have an entertainment background. From Bollywood acting to Hollywood acting, to hosting tv shows, to all sorts of other stuff. And one of the areas that I saw that was really needed in the healthcare space is, healthcare and health and wellness people, they train so much, they get so much training and so much expertise in what they do but they don't get training in how to deliver their message so that they light up their audience. So that their audience is emotionally engaged and emotionally invested in taking action whether that's selling a product or joining a movement or taking action for impact in something that an audience member can do for themselves. What's really helped me is I got introduced to a completely new audience that really needs that training. Really needs that skill in communication, messaging and disruptive expression. If you're a speaker and you are interested in being introduced to a healthcare audience, specifically an alternative healthcare audience - bold, kind of rebellious people that really want to make a difference in the world, really want to make an impact and are not afraid to do it, this is the place for you.
