If you want to crush it on camera, if you’re looking for something different, so you can stand out and be remembered, I would highly recommend Reef’s program, Mad Genius. When I had the opportunity to speak on Tony Robbins stage, I consulted with Reef and he helped me with my opening, storytelling, content clarity, and most of all, audience engagement, and how to really bring people in. Mad Genius will make a good presentation absolutely amazing.
Brian Palermo

I was so blown away by the integration of neuroscience, performance from the entertainment industry, and positioning and packaging from the advertising industry. Reef has dialed in something unique and powerful, a really original methodology to help business leaders become better with marketing, media, and performance, for pitches, TED talks, books, interviews and podcasts. It’s life changing.

We can’t build our audience, our tribe, without tools that really enhance our performance, and that’s what Mad Genius does. Mad Genius will transform you into a disruptive messenger. You’ll see your presentations turn into performances that will come alive. As a surgeon, I have an expertise; but connecting with an audience is not something I’ve been trained in.

I’m really happy that I made the decision to invest in Mad Genius because as a result of the program, my ability to speak and put myself out there is so much more powerful than it’s ever been before.

WHO CREATED MAD GENIUS?
Dr. Reef Karim
Dr Reef Karim’s mission is to elevate human performance in a toxic and limiting world.
By helping us Master The Madness and connect with our innate Mad Genius.
Interviewed by Oprah, Deepak Chopra, Anderson Cooper, and many others for his innovative approach to human potential, human performance, and expertise on the human mind, Reef helps experts and entrepreneurs all over the world to speak from their soul, develop their disruptive message, and unlock their inner performer, to be seen as a highly visible, influential, and impactful force in their industry.
Award winning host, writer, actor, and humanistic psychiatrist, Dr. Reef Karim, is 51% scientist, 49% creative and 100% human.
MY NAME IS REEF KARIM
As a double-board certified medical physician specializing in human behavior, neuroscience, creativity, and addiction; and as a performing artist; I am familiar with both the darkest corners and the expansive creative potential of the mind.
I created the Mad Genius program because I know the pain of not living up to your ability, of feeling like there’s something missing but not knowing how to change it, of feeling like you’re wasting your time, energy, and talent, because you have all this potential but it’s not being activated.
Of having a really important message to share but not reaching the people who need to hear it.
The concept is simple.
Change the way you express yourself on videos, podcasts, stages and other media, to distinguish yourself, be more visible, and attract more opportunity
Experts and entrepreneurs need to learn a new skill; the ability to emotionally engage an audience by performing your content. Performance skills are not just for entertainers anymore.
The ultimate power of transformation doesn’t originate from your marketing, it comes from your presence, your essence, your expression, and what you stand for.
“I could write you a prescription but expanding your mind is way more effective”
I first stumbled upon these Mad Genius principles in the midst of my own personal transformation. Once I saw how well it worked for me, I shared aspects of this methodology with private clients and patients at my treatment center. Once I saw drastic changes in them; in their confidence, expression, inspiration and skill, I started sharing this concept on stages all over the world.
My team and I now guide experts and entrepreneurs to be more distinctive, more disruptive, more engaging, and more influential, by leveraging practical insights from neuroscience, existential psychology, advertising, and entertainment.
The most successful leaders are not clones, they are originals.
It’s time for you to be seen and recognized for your ability and original perspective.
If you’re ready to let out your Mad Genius, I’m ready to show you how.
FANCY PANTS BIOGRAPHY
Rarely do you see a scientist and award-winning performing artist sharing the same stage, let alone the same mind. But Dr. Reef Karim is an academic by day and creative by night who shows us how to Master The Madness and operate like a modern day Mad Genius.
Reef created the Mad Genius Platform for experts and entrepreneurs to expand their creative vision, get more distinctive and disruptive, and operate with the performance skills to engage and emotionally move an audience to take action in this media crazed culture.
Dr. Reef created the Master The Madness platform to inspire and empower us to tap into our distinctive, authentic, soulful expression by redistributing our innate energy (our madness) from stress, fear and conformity to creativity, originality, expression, and passion.
As a humanistic psychiatrist and human performance expert, Dr. Reef served as an Assistant Clinical Professor as the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience for over a decade, published in prestigious medical journals, founded a highly successful mental health treatment center, and now speaks on stages all over the world.
Reef’s innovative work has been profiled in Time, Forbes, Business Insider, Oprah.com, and he’s been interviewed by Oprah, Anderson Cooper, Deepak Chopra, Larry King, and many others.
As an entertainer and award-wining performing artist, Reef has acted in many Hollywood feature films, television shows, and Bollywood movies including: Veep, Lost Transmissions, Lauren Canyon, and Flavors, among others. He’s hosted television shows on The Discovery, Science and Court TV Networks and worked as a consultant writer for the hit ABC show, Private Practice. Reef also performed stand-up comedy at clubs all over the west coast and trained in improv and sketch comedy with the Groundlings.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM REEF
I love helping leaders access their highest potential to move through the mental clutter and pressures of conformity to come up with great out-of-the-box ideas, expand their personal brand, and express themselves in the most captivating and memorable way possible.
To engage and inspire an audience to take action.
I believe there is genius in all of us
gen·ius
/ˈjēnyəs/
- exceptional intellectual or creative power or other natural ability.
Genius isn’t just about intellect. It’s about our ability to connect our innate and acquired skills with our personal experiences and imagination, to lead in a way only we can.
Along this journey, you may be misunderstood. You may be questioned. You may be called crazy.
People will tell you things like, “that will never work” or “you don’t need to that skill” because most people are resistant to change. They aren’t connected to their calling like you are.
Stagnation is much more comfortable than putting yourself out there.
But, deep down inside, people want to be inspired. They want meaning.
The Mad Genius has the skills and courage to be different, to move beyond old thinking, to challenge the status quo, to be a forward thinker, to authentically perform their message and extend their reach.
The world is waiting for your life’s work, but to get your desired result and contribution, you must be able to express you and your work to your audience. For most, that’s a new skill.
We all have Mad Genius in us. It’s time to awaken the Mad Genius in you.
More Mad Genius means more forward-thinking ideas, more innovation, and a world filled with originality and diversity of thought.
That sounds like a better world to me.
If you’re interested in learning more about this shift toward distinction, disruption, and performance, click the button below and schedule a call with me or one of my team to explore your Mad Genius.
We would be honored to spend time with you.
