February 01 Rethinking Regenerative Signaling Without Live Cells or Invasive Procedures with Dr. Tommy Rhee
Cell-free regenerative medicine in
athletes is a specialized and minimally invasive therapeutic modality that
facilitates the repair and regeneration of musculoskeletal injuries—including
tendonitis, ligament tears, and cartilage damage—through the direct delivery of
concentrated bioactive molecules to the site of injury, rather than live,
cultured cells.
Proven Results (Anecdotal vs.
Scientific): While numerous athletes have reported favorable outcomes—for
instance, studies indicate as much as 70% improvement in pain and
functionality—the National Institutes of Health notes that further scientific
validation is warranted.
Common Applications: These therapies are routinely
utilized for chronic musculoskeletal conditions such as Achilles tendinosis,
ACL/MCL injuries, and degenerative joint disorders.
Dr. Tommy Rhee serves as a sports
chiropractor, author, and innovator within the field of cell-free regenerative
medicine. With clinical practice dating back to 2006 and more than two decades
of experience in regenerative therapies, Dr. Rhee is recognized for his
expertise in topical regenerative modalities. He has previously worked with the
UCLA Athletic Department and was the team chiropractor for the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers from 2015 to 2018.
Acknowledging the limitations and
risks associated with injection-based stem cell therapies, Dr. Rhee dedicated
over three years to the development of RheeGen®, a patent-pending, cell-free
topical regenerative platform designed to deliver regenerative signaling
without the need for live cells or invasive procedures.
Dr. Rhee is also the author of
"The Future of Regenerative Medicine: Unlocking the Potential of Topical
Stem Cell Therapy," wherein he examines the transformative impact of
non-invasive, topical regenerative approaches on modern healing and recovery.
His professional background
encompasses elite sports medicine, clinical innovation, and prior service as a
U.S. Navy aviator, affording him a distinctive perspective on performance,
rehabilitation, and the evolving landscape of regenerative care.

Tommy Rhee.

January 30 Guiding Leadership Teams Through Scale, Transformation, and Uncertainty with: David Aferiat
According to reports from Forbes and McKinsey & Company,
as of early 2025, a remarkable 92% of small- and medium-sized business (SMB)
leaders are optimistic about their companies’ growth over the next three years.
When it comes to growth mindset and revenue, research
conducted in late 2024 found that 80% of senior executives at U.S. firms
believe an employee’s growth mindset is directly linked to profits.
Additionally, 89% note that future success hinges on leaders embracing this
mentality.
In terms of strategic focus, a 2025 survey of experienced
entrepreneurs showed that although economic uncertainty persists, 95% feel
confident about their prospects for the coming year. Of these, 40% rank
investments in AI and automation as their leading strategy for expansion.
David
Aferiat, a dual citizen of America and France, founded Avid Vines—an organic
champagne importer operating out of Atlanta. He also serves as Managing
Principal of The Avid Group, which coaches leadership teams through scale,
transformation, and uncertain times with the Bloom Growth system. David grew
Trade Ideas, a fintech company, from the ground up into a multi-million-dollar
venture recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for six consecutive years. His
leadership roles include President of the French-American Chamber of Commerce
for the Southeast U.S., President of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO)
Atlanta Chapter, and Chair of EO’s regional Nerve conference, which featured a
$1M budget and over 500 attendees from around the globe.
A generation ago, David’s father embarked on a life-changing
journey during the revolution between France and its then colony, Algeria,
resulting in the family dividing between Nice and the U.S. It took 26 years for
David and his father to reconnect with their French relatives. Inspired by both
cultures, David draws from French art, food, and tradition, committed to
introducing American tables to clean, artisanal Premier Cru champagne that
honors legacy and leaves no regrets.
But David’s impact goes beyond champagne; he empowers others
through growth coaching, guiding leaders and teams on their own Hero’s Journey
to build resilience, daily discipline, and strategic clarity.

According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Basic Skills Gap: Over 20% of U.S. 15-year-olds (one in five) lack basic financial literacy, meaning they can't apply knowledge to real-life financial situations, according to PISA reports.

I've been featured in publications from Forbes, Business Insider, USA Today, Money, CNBC, Nerdwallet, and more, and I serve as a member of the Investopedia Advisor Council and the Certified Financial Planning Board Ambassadors.

I love to talk about early childhood experiences with money and how they impact how we spend, breaking down financial concepts so that a 5-year-old can understand it, and making guests more comfortable with saying "I don't know, but I want to learn" when it comes to money.

January 23 Exploring Nero Flow State and Peak Performance With: Brandon Day
Body-to-Brain Signal Flow: Modern neuroscience indicates that up to 80% of neurological data flows from the body up to the brain, and optimizing this "body-up" communication is becoming a focus for high-level athletic training. The percentage of American athletes experiencing chronic pain varies significantly depending on the level of competition and sport, with rates ranging from 30% in general athletes to as high as 80%–96% in retired National Football League (NFL) players. According to the National Institute of Health and Student Athlete Scholars. Brandon Day is a two-time national champion, former All-American linebacker, and someone who’s been featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. But his story doesn’t stop on the field.

Now, he’s a high-performance coach and the founder of the NeuroFlow Method — a unique system that combines applied neuroscience and flow state coaching to help elite performers break through plateaus, eliminate pain, and unlock their peak physical and cognitive potential. He works with lifelong athletes, business owners, and entrepreneurs who refuse to settle for ‘good enough’ — helping them reclaim their energy, their focus, and their edge. If you’re someone who knows what it feels like to operate at a high level but wonder if there’s another gear — this is the conversation you can't afford to miss.For more information: https://evolvedathlete.coach/ Instagram: @iambrandonday Discover More: https://www.skool.com/evolved/about
