About this Event
Venue Connect, in partnership with Ann Arbor SPARK, is pleased to bring you an insightful conversation with Dr. Vic Strecher as we explore Finding Purpose in an AI Driven Economy.
Featured Speaker:
Dr. Victor Strecher, founder and CEO of Kumanu, professor, U-M School of Public Health
Vic Strecher is a visionary leader and expert in the fields of behavior change, digital communication, and well being. His pioneering research led to successful ventures, reaching millions of lives. He's founder and CEO of Kumanu, a next generation well being company, professor at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, and renowned researcher, educator, speaker, and author.
In 1995, Vic founded the UM Center for Health Communications Research, studying the future of digitally-tailored health communications when fewer than 15% of Americans had Internet access. In 1997, he founded HealthMedia, a digital health coaching company that reached over 55 million people and was sold to Johnson & Johnson in 2010. More recently, Vic created Kumanu, a digital platform designed tohelp individuals live more intentionally and purposefully.
His behavioral, neuroscience, and epigenetic research; two books (Life On Purpose and the graphic novel On Purpose); four Ted talks; two massive open online courses; and his Purposeful smartphone and web application are all focused on the importance of developing and maintaining strong core values, intentionality, and purpose in life.
