I was honored to serve as one of the keynote speakers at this year's Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) Symposium hosted by the US Army. I had the opportunity to present on the Return on Investment, sharing data on how H2F is improving Soldier health, performance, and readiness.

One of my favorite datasets: baby names. In 2007, the Social Security Administration reported 34,975. In 1881, there were only 1,934. (Note: for privacy they omit any with <5 entries, though.) Over time, particularly since the 70s, parents have opted for more unique names.

💡What do you need to know about tariffs? The conversations around tariffs can be confusing and often are clouded with political bias. Given the Trump administration's announcement of new tariffs this week, it's worth diving into this deeper in my new post👇🏻 open.substack.com/pub/timmurra...

What do you need to know about tariffs?
On April 2, 2025, President Donald Trump announced a sweeping set of tariffs on 185 countries that will make the effective tariff rate in the US higher than it has been in over 100 years.
