Hello everyone. I'm Dr. Jeffrey L. Edwards, but most people just call me Jeff. I've been part of the group for roughly a month, and thus far it's been 🔥. It's just what I've needed to get out of being stuck in what I call 'comfort' and 'complacency'. From the outside, I seem successful. I'm a C-Level Executive at the Bank, where I work as an FTE. Educationally, I have a Doctorate degree, 2 Master's degrees, and a Bachelor's degree. I'm certified in a number of business and technology areas, including a Certificate in Quantitative Finance (CQF) and the Certified Six Sigma Black Belt designation. I am also an entrepreneur with a startup technology company focused on risk management, implementing a risk quantification methodology that I developed. As a result, I am in the process of obtaining 11 patents for the Intellectual Property associated with the methodology and technology. It hasn't all been a bed of roses. In 2021, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of bladder cancer. As a result, I had a radical cystectomy and 8 hour surgical procedure to create a neobladder called an Indiana Pouch. Recuperation took 6 months, and as a result, my new normal is that I have to manually empty my bladder via a catheter every 4 hours around the clock, day and night. So I can only sleep in increments of 4 hours. I say all of this not to get any sympathy, but just the opposite, to show that you can accomplish many things if you set your mind to it, have faith, and execute on the plan. With all this going on, I still feel like I can do more and have yet to tap into my full potential. That's one of the main reasons that I joined this group. I was impressed with Jason and the caliber of individuals that he has been able to amass as part of his Academy. Iron Sharpens Iron. So I'm looking forward to getting more involved in the group because that's going to help me sharpen those dull edges, create a new normal, set new standards for myself, and achieve more in all facets of my life.
