Eric Collett is the man who's rewriting the script on brain health and challenging everything we thought we knew about aging. Imagine a world where Alzheimer's isn't an inevitable decline, but a preventable condition. That's not science fiction - that's Eric's mission. A former memory care executive turned brain health revolutionary, Eric went from running a struggling care facility to developing a groundbreaking protocol that's helping people reverse cognitive decline - we're talking about Parkinson's patients doing jumping jacks after being wheelchair-bound, and dementia patients dramatically improving their cognitive scores.

What happens when a star athlete with a leadership mindset steps into the world of business—starting at the front desk and rising to CEO? Well, Damon Lembi knows firsthand. Drafted by both the Atlanta Braves and the Yankees, he had his sights set on a professional baseball career. But when that path took an unexpected turn, he found himself in a completely different arena: the corporate world. Rather than leaning on family connections, Damon started as a receptionist at Learnit, the company his father co-founded. But with the same work ethic and drive that made him a leader on the field, he climbed the ranks—eventually stepping into the CEO role just as the dot-com bubble was about to burst. What followed was a crash course in resilience, reinvention, and redefining leadership for a new era. For over 30 years, Damon has been at the helm of Learnit, evolving it from a tech training company into a powerhouse for professional development. His insights on leadership, storytelling, and the future of work are shaped by his own journey—from navigating the highs and lows of entrepreneurship to embracing AI as a critical tool for the modern leader.

He is undoubtedly one of the most experienced Internet Marketers of all time. If there’s ever an internet marketing hall of fame, he would be inducted in the first round.

I remember thinking how smart he was then, and let me tell you -- he’s even smarter now. You will hear Perry talk about his early days online, how he got involved, how he positioned himself with Google AdWords until he recognized hitching his brand to a platform he didn’t own was not a great idea.

And what’s inside will blow your mind. Perry has consulted across 300+ industries, shaping the $400B digital ad space. He’s the founder of the $10M Evolution 2.0 Prize and co-founder of the Cancer & Evolution Working Group.
