Pinky Swear Foundation

A childhood cancer diagnosis is an unfair crisis that turns a family’s world upside down. Amid having to make life-and-death decisions, there is the unanticipated burden of indirect costs, paired with a critical lack of resources or support.

High financial distress, significant income losses, and families going from middle class to poor are all too common outcomes of a childhood cancer experience. 

Since 2003, Pinky Swear Foundation has supported families’ quality of life with direct financial aid for basic needs.

I help navigate growth driven organizations through digital transformation.

I've spent a bulk of my career aligning sales, marketing and support teams around goals and strategies that move their business forward - while equipping them with tools to drive efficiency for them and their customers.

I founded Lake One in 2014 and have been blessed to work with founders and go-getters in a variety of industries including tech, manufacturing, business services, financial services, and e-commerce from startup to Enterprise.

Before pursuing a career in marketing, I worked in broadcasting - journalism and entertainment as a top 40 DJ and radio news reporter where I earned recognition from the Society of Professional Journalists for reporting coverage of flooding in the Red River Valley.

Clario, Inc.

Clario [www.clar.io] is the first-of-its-kind automated audience builder. There are a lot of marketing solutions in the market that claim to be able to help you harness the power of your customer data, but organizations struggle to implement and justify the investment of time and resources needed to realize the promised value.

If your goal is to leverage your customer data to drive repeat sales, no CDP does it better than Clario. Other tools simply cannot match its speed and accuracy, even if your data is 10 years old or poorly organized. The best part is that while the platform itself is incredible, it is only as effective as its usage. This is why Clario, being the only audience builder that includes strategy, customization, and ongoing support from a team of audience-building experts, is a game changer.

Want to see how simple—and powerful—Clario is? Schedule a quick, personalized demo and we’ll run you through what’s possible. You’ll see what makes Clario different from any tool you’ve seen so far. And we’ll help you determine if this automated audience builder is right for you.

I help business owners and startup founders who sell align their sales+marketing investments with their goals. This gives them to ability to close sales more cost efficiently while saving on marketing.

Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure of helping founders, builders, corporate entrepreneurs, and small business owners align their sales and marketing efforts to achieve the Growth they know is possible.

During that time, one consistent challenge I have observed, spanning from startup founders to small business owners, lies in managing the fragmented services they need to run their organization.

This siloed approach usually requires multiple service providers, each driven by distinct, often competing, economic incentives. This places an unfair burden on organizations and can often lead to missed opportunities, as well as unrealized revenue and return on investment.

I’ve always believed there was a better way. By aligning sales, marketing, and cashflow, I believe organizations can scale more intentionally.

I've developed a proven process that aligns revenue operations (sales), scales stakeholder communication with the help of generative AI, and focuses marketing investments to help business owners and their leadership teams achieve their business goals.

I’m a firm believer that clients deserve partners who not only understand their business goals but are also actively committed to proactively helping them achieve them—that’s what I do today.

On a personal note, I was born in Jamaica and raised in an environment where my mother's commitment to her community, in building and growing our family's prep school, and my father's integrity as a police force leader, were instilled in me. I have carried these lessons with me, shaping my approach to my work and life.

I am committed to helping our clients maximize their investments and mentoring the next generation of business builders here in Minnesota. To that end, outside of work, I invest my time in my community by supporting upcoming business leaders and helping early-stage founders become ready for capital investment.

My belief in the power of education, a transformative force I have experienced firsthand, has led to my commitment to Silicon North Stars, a nonprofit aimed at inspiring young Minnesotans to become future tech leaders.

When I’m not supporting clients or spending time with my family, you can find me on Peloton [leaderboard name #garrio] or on Threads, engaging in discussions ranging from the creator economy to emerging technology, culture, and of course, the occasional meme.

The gym is no longer a gym, it’s becoming a lab for longevity, data, and design.

A massive shift is happening in health and wellness that will redefine how we think about fitness, aesthetics, and medical care. This isn’t another “biohacking” trend or wellness fad, it’s the early stages of a full business model transformation across gyms, med spas, and clinics.

For decades, the fitness industry sold discipline, the beauty industry sold confidence, and healthcare sold treatment. That era is ending. The next one is selling proof.

We’re moving from “look better” to “live longer.” From workouts to biomarkers. From self-care to self-measurement.

Longevity clinics, data-driven spas, and diagnostic memberships are merging into a new market built around the anatomic assay, the science of understanding what’s really happening inside your body.

That shift will change how people buy, how businesses grow, and how entrepreneurs position themselves in the health economy.

This article breaks down what this means for the future of fitness, medicine, and entrepreneurship. You’ll learn:

1️⃣ Why gyms, spas, and clinics are converging into one longevity ecosystem.

 ✅ How data, diagnostics, and design are reshaping business models across the health economy.

 3️⃣ Why the next luxury isn’t convenience, it’s proof.

 ✅ How founders and operators can build sustainable, data-backed businesses in the age of healthspan.

If you lead a company in health, wellness, or medicine, this isn’t just a market shift, it’s a category being built in real time.
