T.E.A.M. Mentality
Time. Education. Adversity. Manifestation.
-Discover The Power of Your Mindset-
T.E.A.M. Mentality™ is a Cognitive Wellness Program designed to optimize overall human performance, starting with brain health.
As we explore the exciting findings of modern Behavioral Neuroscience, we begin to unlock the mysteries of how the brain operates and where it wants to lead us. By simplifying this complex structure, we can learn ways to control our thinking, manage stress, and take purposeful action towards accomplishing future goals. A clear vision is hard for the brain to ignore, and having a plan is paramount for building long-term success.
A healthy brain is more than just the absence of disease; it’s having the awareness and cognitive ability to optimize brain function throughout our lifetime.
Much of what life throws at us is beyond our control, which is why having a system in place to prepare and enhance cognitive resilience is crucial.
Modifiable lifestyle changes can minimize health risks, improve daily performance, and help reduce cognitive decline as we age. Like any compounding investment, earlier participation results in greater gains.
The goals we set should be realistic and dynamic, always evolving. Striving for perfection, although a noble idea, sets us up for failure, as humans are not perfect, nor should we ever expect to be. This is the beauty of shaping our future. Each step of progress along our journey moves us towards a goal we may not yet even recognize. Just knowing this is possible can begin to fuel our neural pathways as positive thinking becomes a goal in itself.
We believe that allocating TIME for EDUCATION and the decisive actions necessary to improve cognitive abilities enable humans to become more resilient and prepared for the ADVERSITIES that stand between us and the dreams we MANIFEST. We call this T.E.A.M. Mentality™.

Our T.E.A.M. Core Values

Time
Education
Adversity
Manifestation
Our greatest non-transferable asset in life, which cannot be replaced- Time will allow us to Create, Destroy, and Heal, but most of all Think. Our ability to cognitively process information and take action empowers us to innovate and explore. If we wish to maximize our potential, we must become experts in Managing Minutes. Throughout our day we inevitably spend time on all types of activities. Knowing we only have 1440 minutes to accomplish our daily goals, each minute counts. Clock management teaches us; time saved is time earned. As we learn to gain minutes and use them more effectively, we will begin to fulfill key objectives more easily. Such time awareness is essential in planning for a healthier & more successful future.
Knowledge is instrumental for survival in life. The more we learn, the more we understand about ourselves and our surroundings. Comprehension
of personal wellness and
environmental conditions allows us to make better choices, possibly in an expedited manner. Intelligence supports informed decisions, which will lead to greater actions. We want to act with purpose and ambition as this not only motivates ourselves but those around us. Creating recognizable value in itself, is creation, and presents opportunities for more sustainable gains. While building confidence in your personal brand, the equity gained from this process promotes further attention toward education and continued growth. This Knowledge Cycle will improve our everyday life and help to propel us toward our goals.
Challenges can present great
opportunities. Some of the most adverse moments will provide the clearest understanding of what it means to be human. Vulnerabilities reside in all of us but we want to ensure they don't negate our ability to persevere.
-What do we do in these times?
-How do we prioritize tasks?
-Why do we choose to push through in search of solutions?
The answers to these questions begin to define us as individuals. We all have strengths and weaknesses. We earn value as we build self-efficacy through adversity. Training ourselves to maintain a steady mindset during these moments will help us think more clearly and improve resiliency. In doing so, we evolve by establishing goals that develop our strengths, and over time, those strengths build Power.
Visualization starts in the mind, not the eye. Eyes often lead to distraction. The mind is where we can cultivate grand visions and foster greatness. As children we have wild imaginations, where anything is possible. Until, of course, we experience life firsthand and learn of 'reality', a harsh awakening which often lowers expectations. We all have dreams, but to harness them and develop the ideas
associated with achieving such lofty goals can often be dismissed as impossibility. Where to start any new idea may feel overwhelming (so many moving parts to consider). Taking the first step is how we change the narrative and begin to follow our own plan. We must believe in ourselves long before others will and our willingness to do so is how we set forth in achieving that which we manifest.
Origin Story
Justin Simmons - Founder
An engineer by trade and critical thinker by degree, I have spent the entirety of my adulthood hyper-focused on efficient performance, communication, and the systems/technologies that enable our well-being. In earlier years, my athletic career provided a foundation of discipline and science-based processes for much of what I still practice today. To summarize this general ambition, I found that improving personal and environmental conditions for myself and others simply felt good.
Evaluating this perception deeper, I made a conscious decision to start thinking more about my own thinking process (metacognition) and the impact brain health has on our ability to operate effectively. Doing things because we always have or because they appear correct doesn’t necessarily make them best practice; this is when we must challenge ourselves to understand better not only What we’re doing but Why we do it in the first place.
I have always enjoyed evaluating problems and working to reveal root causes. Seemingly counterintuitive to work backwards at times, but until we understand the baseline, forward progress can often lead to compounding issues.
-Quick example- Imagine a carton of eggs keeping a refrigerator door from closing. Without looking, you slam the door shut and walk away. Upon return, a mess of crushed eggs is waiting. This could have been avoided by simply looking at what didn’t fit; instead, the carton of eggs is now broken, requiring cleanup and replacement.
The human approach to problem-solving varies widely based on many behavioral and experiential conditions. I’m constantly fascinated by this human condition and how we operate amidst an ever-changing landscape of information gained and knowledge applied. Learning only truly happens when we’re able to recall information. This concept has guided my focus for years and fuels my obsession to simplify the complex messaging associated with cognitive health.
Spending over 15 years in the field of digital automation and energy technology, I have had the privilege of collaborating with many senior thought leaders on critical global energy initiatives. As one can imagine, such high-profile projects tend to be accompanied by an unbiased level of stress; all involved are on the receiving end. These environments have a way of straining relationships and communication styles when they’re needed most.
In an effort to preserve this social necessity, I found myself applying basic rules of psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral science to cultivate positive thinking. What I recognized was a correlation between productivity and perceived stress levels during adverse moments. Throughout my personal and professional life, I began finding ways to connect science and self-performance in comprehensive segments that addressed cognitive reserve, stress responses, and simplified planning for any goal.
T.E.A.M. Mentality™ has been developed through diligent efforts to simplify and summarize how and why we do anything. This methodology of managing T.E.A.M. (Time, Education, Adversity, and Manifestation) in our everyday lives provides a framework to regain control of our thinking process. Within this process, we gain the agency to make informed decisions toward a brighter future, starting with cognitive resilience.
Living with purpose promotes neurological stimulation and motivates us to take the actions necessary for a healthier, more sustainable life. All that stands between us and the beauty this world has to offer is our willingness to believe in possibility...
“Our mindset is what we make of it, everyone has the power to choose greatness, it starts the moment you decide and believe you’re great” – JS
