About Alden Mills

With more than 40 years of experience failing and succeeding in a vast array of different environments from sports, military, and business to nonprofits and community action groups, he learned success is driven by one vital factor—leadership—of oneself and others.

The first person Alden learned to lead was himself.
As a weak child with asthma, doctors insisted he limit physical activity and avoid sports. Instead, with the mindset instilled in him by his mother that “no one defines what you can and can’t do, but you,” he went on to become a National Collegiate Champion rower, earning Gold and Silver medals at the Olympic Festival, and a Navy SEAL who was top of his class.

Alden’s personal successes.
As Alden achieved personal successes, he repeatedly grew into leadership positions. He became captain of his collegiate rowing team, was promoted three times to Navy SEAL platoon commander, and ranked #1 platoon commander each time.

From a young age he amassed notebooks of invention drawings.
One of those ideas became the wildly popular Perfect Pushup and today he holds over 40 patents worldwide.

Global fitness powerhouse.
He turned a single invention into a global fitness powerhouse in over 70 countries with multiple products, leading Perfect Fitness to become the fastest-growing consumer product company in the country, with over $95 million in sales in just three years. He has since founded and served on multiple companies’ boards in retail hard goods, consumable products, and service-based businesses.

Unstoppable Leadership
Along the way, Alden cultivated a methodology that develops people into congruent and authentic leaders who successfully build teams and create cultures that are unstoppable regardless of the situation, industry, or environment.

Today Alden Mills is known as one of the leading business thinkers in America and spends his time helping others learn and implement the three levels of Unstoppable Leadership. He is the bestselling author of Unstoppable Mindset, Unstoppable Teams, and Be Unstoppable. Through speaking, coaching, writing, board advisory, and teaching, Alden

Manish shares his journey from growing up in rural Kentucky to working at Google to becoming a successful venture capitalist in Silicon Valley.

Manish shares his lessons learned from his time at Google and how they shaped his approach to venture capital.

About Manish Patel

Manish is a Silicon Valley veteran who solves problems at the intersection of business, technology, and human experience. He follows his passion for technologies that address deep needs and evolve to products which become part of everyday life.

At Google, Manish was fortunate to lead and collaborate with teams that designed, developed, and scaled products with global impact including Google Ads, TV, and Maps. In addition, he built a few products that were brilliant failures. He also worked closely with the co-founders on special projects including running Google’s corporate strategy and goal setting process: OKRs. As the company scaled from private to public, Manish held several other strategic roles and spent significant time overseas as Google established its global presence.

After Google, Manish joined Highland Capital and helped expand the firm’s offices in California. Manish is certainly the “accidental” venture capitalist but grew to love the craft. He focuses on early stage investing. Manish was able to partner with a number of exceptional entrepreneurs over the years who have scaled their businesses to public companies and multi billion dollar acquisitions.

Manish's passion for building extends to many aspects of his life. He has taught in the Stanford School of Engineering for years as well as serving as a Fellow at the University of Toronto - CDL. He was also recognized as a Distinguished Fellow by IDEO CoLab. And when he can, he loves to find excuses to go to his local machine shop.

Manish has spent his career at the edge of innovation as an operator, inventor, and as a venture capitalist. He deeply believes in the idea that the best products, those that truly impact us, shift from being novel technologies to becoming commonplace, disappearing into our daily lives.

Pickles. They're crunchy, tangy, and a staple in sandwiches, burgers, and snack plates worldwide. An pickling originated thousands of years ago, with evidence of cucumbers being pickled in the Tigris Valley as far back as 2030 BC, primarily as a method of food preservation.

Throughout history, pickles have been enjoyed by various cultures, with notable figures like Cleopatra and Julius Caesar appreciating their flavor and perceived health benefits. This widespread appreciation helped spread pickling techniques across continents, adapting to local ingredients and tastes.

In recent years science has shown that eating pickles are good for you and can increase your athletic performance in many ways.
