The ON program is designed to help selected research teams validate the market potential of their innovations through a customer/stakeholder discovery process.

As a mentor on the panel, I help the research teams develop their skills in executing the discovery process and embedding it as a repeatable process for their future application. I have a deep understanding of industry trends and dynamics, and I'm skilled at developing partnerships with companies and organizations that can help bring research to market. Additionally, I'm experienced in proactive engagement and marketing strategies that can raise awareness of research findings and generate interest in commercial applications. By leveraging my expertise in these areas, I can help ON program participants maximise the impact of their research and make a positive difference in the world.

“My wife and I both read your articles each week, and I have to say there is so much confusing data out there, but yours is a great source, well researched, scientific and always relevant.” — Steve Ridgway, subscriber.
I have written and published over 400 articles on health, fitness, nutrition and cognitive resistance for men and women over 50, and in addition, published 150+ newsletters with my best insights weekly.
I made the choice myself, when I was 50. Now, 24 years later, I'm (much) stronger, lighter, healthier, more energetic, more flexible and have better posture and balance than when I was 50. I have more muscle mass and better bone density, and my superior muscular-skeletal condition means that my joints have less load and few aches and pains. Being in good physical condition makes me feel good about myself in every other way.
▷ Subscribe at the "Show Project" link above where you can also view previous newsletters to satisfy yourself that you are getting value.
Over 20 years of doing it I've learnt that the biggest factors in fitness over 50 are not what you'll get from your personal trainer, or even from Google. I've learnt what works and put it into practice. And just as a bonus I have a Professional Diploma (Associate Degree) in Sports and Exercise Nutrition.
