Innovation, creativity, design and building things have been lifelong passions of mine. I simply can't leave a good idea untested!

I'm equally fascinated by people: the psychology behind why we do what we do, how we interact with one another, and how we shape — and are shaped by — the world around us. And then there are the big questions: the meaning of life, consciousness, and all the rabbit holes that come with them.

That curiosity is what led me to found INSO — a boutique innovation consultancy, network and community. Simply put, we give people and teams the confidence and momentum to bring their best ideas to life, through experiences, challenges and accelerators.

I'm also co-host of The Good Ideas Club podcast, where we explore big ideas, challenge perspectives and learn from some of the brightest minds around the world. I've spoken at three TEDx events and keynoted conferences including Leaders 21 in Prague.

A little about my journey: an engineering degree; former British Army Captain, The Parachute Regiment (Airborne); founder and inventor; finance, fintech and systems; and now founder of INSO.

Always up for a fascinating conversation or an opportunity to build something meaningful together. Let's make stuff happen!

Marine Corps Veteran, Storyteller, and Hackivist disrupting power-based violence through online access to education and community care with over eighteen years experience in the technical and operational program management of space and military intelligence federal contracts in the United States.

I made a promise to support and defend the United States Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I take that VERY seriously, and will fight for your right to hate me. I will not, however, tolerate acts of violence directed at individuals for simply taking up space, acts of coercion through threats of violence, or any attempt at using violence as a way to maintain power. I will speak out and take the defense for any victim of violence (in all of its forms) and all individuals impacted by the use of power-based violence.

I believe in the power of storytelling energy as a renewable resource capable of magic, the kindness of strangers, and ability to overcome hardship through communal care. I use the arts of satire, drag, and boudoir performance to make light of extremely controversial and traumatic but historical events that surround United States Post World War II Military History.

Andrés Ignacio Maldonado leads a team of fifteen, each named after a figure from Greek mythology. None of them is human: they are AI agents that write almost all the code, except for the one thing that can't be delegated — answering for what reaches production.

He has been writing code since school and built a professional music career in parallel: conservatory-trained guitarist, a decade performing in Europe (where he also worked in web development) and a master's in Musicology from Université de Rouen. He also holds a master's in Full Stack Development (UPC Barcelona) and a specialization in Generative AI, Deep Learning and Computer Vision (PUC Chile). He has led the engineering team behind Chile's number-one telecom app and its self-service channels, with generative AI conversational agents in production on voice and WhatsApp. He co-founded Sophieat, a nutrition-labeling SaaS built with agents, and mentors at Laboratoria and Technovation Girls.

He talks about applied AI without the hype: what it costs, where it breaks, and what still makes a person valuable when the machine writes the code. He publishes as @devandmus.

🍞 My bread and butter is designing a sustainable and healthy company culture, where people can strive for their best. The rest will follow.

🧠 Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with both startups and enterprises, helping to bring digital products and services to life. My diverse roles have included Marketing Manager, Startup Founder, Product Manager, Agile Coach, Lecturer, Trainer, and Consultant, co-host of the Agile Book Club podcast, co-organizer of the ACE Conference, among others.

🤓 These experiences have enriched my empathy and provided a systemic approach to working across various organizations and business domains. I’ve come to understand that every product or service we create begins and ends with people.

💃 My passion lies in studying human behavior and finding holistic methods to help companies build environments where everyone can thrive. In my work, I integrate all of my passions. I blend domain knowledge and diverse work experiences with neuroscience, principles of accelerated learning, coaching practices, facilitation skills, burnout prevention strategies, and sports and movement expertise. Ensuring employee well-being is not just a luxury—it’s essential for creating outstanding products and driving business success.

💭 If you had told me 20 years ago that by the age of 30, I would write three books, earn an Executive MBA, work across continents, organize international conferences, host a podcast, and seize incredible learning opportunities, I wouldn’t have believed it. But it all happened because I:

- Dared to leave places where I wasn’t happy
- Learned that failure is part of the journey
- Recognized when to stop after hitting the glass ceiling
- Found joy in my work
- Overcame the fear of trying
- Committed to continuous learning and improvement

After a traumatic brain injury changed my life, I had to relearn things I once took for granted. There were years of feeling disconnected, struggling with fear and hopelessness, and wondering how I was going to move forward.

At my lowest point, I turned to God. Through prayer, Scripture, and the practical strategies I developed along the way, walking daily with the Holy Spirit, I began to see that healing wasn't about pretending the pain wasn't there. It was about learning how to move through the pain without letting it define me.

Over the past 14 years, I've taught those strategies to others and continued developing them into what is now the Miracle Power Activation System™ - a faith-anchored approach to helping people build courage, clarity, and resilience through difficult seasons.

Today, I bring this work to veterans, first responders, law enforcement, healthcare professionals, trauma survivors, and burned-out leaders, as well as the organizations and communities that serve them.

My work combines 26 years of lived and teaching experience, 14 years of clinical practice as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant, biblical truth, and practical resilience strategies.

I work with organizations through:

→ Keynote Speaking
Helping audiences understand resilience, healing, and the beliefs that can either keep us stuck or help us move forward.

→ Workshops & Facilitation
Interactive experiences that give teams practical strategies they can apply beyond the room.

→ Consulting & Group Programs
Helping organizations and communities build a more intentional approach to resilience, healing, and personal growth through my proprietary Miracle Power Activation System™

→ 1:1 mentorship - for those ready for personalized, in-depth support

My belief is simple: What you've been through does not have to define what comes next.
If you're looking for a faith-centered approach to resilience, healing, and transformation for your organization, event, or community, let's connect.
