Jason's Bio:
"With 19 years of military service on land, in the air, on sea, and in hospitals, along with many years as a professor, coach and mentor, I know the challenges everyday people face in creating fulfilling lives of our own, but my secret for true fulfillment has nothing to do with time or to-do lists. I've come a long way myself, and I try to share personal stories and probing questions to teach people how to get their priorities straight, design their own PROCESS for LIFE, and achieve more than they dreamed possible while also enjoying the journey. My website - www.jasonvaladao.com - is a simple start if you are looking for a short, but hopefully powerful blog that can alter your attitude and ambition in just a few healthy minutes of reading, and my first book officially published on April 2nd, 2019."
