Brian Sells.
My name is Brian and I am on a journey. I spent 11 years as an Army Ranger, scaled a tech company, and started my own business (that one didn't pan out...but learned a ton).
This is where I capture reflections of successes and failures while documenting my journey to ascend the "next ridgeline" of my life in the healthcare space.
