Jeff Ransdell is a venture capitalist building a portfolio of exponential technology companies at Wynwood Arts District-based venture capital firm Rokk3r Fuel ExO, which he co-founded in 2017 following a departure from the world of private wealth management. Jeff approaches venture capital with a signature “founder focused, investor driven” mindset, shaped by two decades as a top executive of Bank of America Merrill Lynch. As a managing director and market executive of the financial powerhouse, he managed more than $130 billion of global private client investment assets, a P&L of $2 billion, and over 2,000 employees across the bank’s Southeast Wealth Management Division. His transition to venture capital was motivated by what he saw as mounting evidence that opportunities to shape the economy and capitalize on innovation were steadily shifting from the public markets to the private markets. In the face of much skepticism, Jeff chose Miami, Florida, as the home base for Rokk3r Fuel, armed with an unparalle

Whether you’re an online entrepreneur or brick and mortar business owner, and whether you’re hustling, growing or slaying it in your business right now, you know you want a more profitable business. (Slight) Correction – you know that you want to super-charge your profit. With ease and with simplicity. That’s more like it. And I know that every business could make more profit – including yours. More profit = more fun, right? And everyone should want more fun in their life. More profit = more impact. And you want your business to make a bigger impact, yes? So what gives? You’re not shying away from doing the work, but it may have felt like there’s an imbalance between the level of profit made and the effort that you put in – it just feels too hard to make that profit. Moreover, you know that if you want to grow your business you can’t just keep on working harder and harder {Only 24 hours in a day, remember}. Fortunately, there is another way. There is a solution for you. https://jasonawithers.com https:/

In 2017 husband and wife team Kathryn Fantauzzia and Dr. David Rabin and together we set out to accelerate the development and translation of novel neuroscience discoveries to address public health needs and improve outcomes. Recently the World Health Organization officially recognized burnout as a medical syndrome. This designation is a milestone calling out for the world to combat the collective global crisis of work-related stress. When left unchecked, chronic daily stress overwhelms the body and mind, burning us out by making it hard to sleep, focus at work, and feel engaged. This leaves us exhausted, depleted, increasingly “checked out” and feeling ineffective, no matter how hard or long we work. Most worrisome, burnout can lead to serious negative health consequences. The economic consequences of burnout for business are palpable, with studies showing the following figures: ● Two-third of the full-time American workforce suffers from burnout ● On average, workers lose 11.3 days in lost productivi

Smart Home Sentry (“Sentry") is focused on making home security products more intelligent. Existing home security systems are good for monitoring and reporting, but they do not have the level of sophisticated AI to deliver data where action can be taken without actual human involvement. The Company’s intelligent platform layers on top of nearly every camera on the market capturing granular data. The platform moves beyond package delivery, providing facial and vehicle identification, people & pet identification and real-time assessment of behavior. As a result, Sentry AI suppresses up to 95 percent of false alerts and only notifies users for potentially critical events. This advancement in home security delivers a new level of intelligence not seen before. Sentry fills a gap in the market between home security that makes time-poor consumers self-assess all alerts, and expensive real-human monitoring services. The company currently offers computer vision and video analytics for security cameras and d

Make Your Own Damn Cheese is a deceptively powerful work of non-fiction, cloaked in the disguise of a charming and easy-to-read fable about a young mouse named Earl who wonders ceaselessly about the maze into which he was born. He yearns for a better life, filled with freedom and happiness, and desires more than the maze has to offer―a life where the cheese is plentiful and never out of reach. He believes he needs to get out of the maze, but how? The reader follows Earl on a journey that introduces him to the mind-expanding teachings and philosophies of personal development gurus Earl Nightingale, Napoleon Hill, Jim Rohn, Price Pritchett, Bob Proctor, Brian Tracy, and Denis Waitley. In the end, these great teachers show Earl – and the reader – how to experience the ultimate goals of freedom and happiness. The general structure of this no-nonsense and immediately implementable work is written with a stylistic nod to Spencer Johnson’s Who Moved My Cheese and Deepak Malhotra’s I Moved Your Cheese. With simplic
