— On a cold and cozy December night in 2018, Jim Kaveney thinks he is dying. He is a husband, a father, a business owner, an athlete, and innovator. He is also an Afib patient facing massive cardiac trauma. In his memoir, Unlimited Heart: How To Transform Your Pain Into Purpose, Jim Kaveney recounts his dance with death and the events of his life leading up to this fateful, health-defining moment and the shifts in business perspective and priorities that followed. Unlimited Heart takes readers on a three-part, forty-year journey. It traverses the tight budgets of an eleven-member household to the financial burdens strapped to a dream to the sale of a multi-million-dollar startup. It is a raw portrayal of a boy who grapples with his own demons in the midst of his dreams and a man who turns those dreams into a clear, entrepreneurial vision—a vision that is threatened by medicine, technology, and surgeries. Kaveney's entrepreneurial and cardiac journey cannot be separated. Where his heart was weak, his mind became strong. When his mind was weak, his heart was strong. His battle between his metaphorical and physical heart and mind is what inspired him to write Unlimited Heart and to launch a business with the namesake. Turning his pain in life to a greater purpose, Unlimited Heart helps people with cardiac issues be different and better patients. Valeria interviews Jim Kaveney — He is the author of “Unlimited Heart: How To Transform Your Pain Into Purpose.” Jim Kaveney is all heart. In 2012 Jim founded Alkemy Partners (a Life Sciences Learning and Performance company that was ranked by Inc5000 in 2019 and 2020 before achieving acquisition in 2020 by EVERSANA™) and he is currently the founder of Unlimited Heart Health & Wellness —a collaborative organization of health care professionals accelerating cardiac innovation. After years of balancing entrepreneurial ambitions with his own growing cardiac issues, Jim Kaveney, M.S. has turned his pain into a purpose to become an expert in navigating the burgeoning worlds of digital therapeutics, global startup initiatives, and the mindset training required to tackle the pillars of a holistic work-health-faith-family-life balance. Growing up as the youngest of nine in Erie, Pennsylvania, he sought understanding and solace in forces greater than himself, a quest that has influenced his personal and professional journey. Through his story, he hopes to empower others to find strength and resilience in the face of health challenges, while continuing to innovate and advocate for better patient care solutions.

Tonix Pharmaceuticals CEO Dr. Seth Lederman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the completion of the initial phase of an assessment conducted by EVERSANA® Life Science Services, LLC on the U.S. market opportunity for Tonmya. Tonmya represents a potential groundbreaking first-line therapy for fibromyalgia management, positioning itself as a non-opioid, centrally-acting alternative in a market dominated by opioids. Lederman highlighted the concerning dominance of opioids in the fibromyalgia prescription market, despite well-documented risks of dependency. Tonmya aims to address this gap by offering a safer, non-addictive option for fibromyalgia patients. EVERSANA's primary market research indicates promising interest from physicians, with a median interest rating of 4.0 on a 5-point scale and an intended use of Tonmya in 40% of fibromyalgia patients upon approval. The analysis also noted that approximately 50% of fibromyalgia patients in the U.S. are on Medicare. The Inflation Reduction Act, effective in 2025, will cap out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for Medicare patients, which could improve access to Tonmya if approved. With the submission of the New Drug Application (NDA) for Tonmya slated for the second half of the year, Tonix Pharmaceuticals anticipates an FDA decision on approval by 2025. #proactiveinvestors #tonixpharmaceuticalsholdingcorp #nasdaq #tnxp #TonixPharmaceuticals, #FibromyalgiaTreatment, #NewDrugApplication, #TunMyo, #NonOpiateAnalgesic, #ChronicPain, #MarketAssessment, #SanaLifeSciences, #PhaseThreeStudies, #Cyclobenzaprine, #FibromyalgiaAwareness, #BiotechNews, #DrugDevelopment, #PainManagement, #HealthcareInnovation, #Medicare, #InflationReductionAct, #PrescriptionDrugCosts, #PharmaceuticalResearch, #FDAApproval #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

It is a specific cellular pathway to kill cancer cells rather than just slowing their proliferation.The novel approach relies on the role of p27Kpi, a natural inhibitor, an "on-off" switch that regulates the activities of the major cancer-related proteins, CDK6, CDK4, and CDK2.

A big part of the reason my latest podcast guest, Rohit Sood, has become a successful and recognized leader, mentor and growth advisor in the pharma industry, is because he has been able to build successful teams. This is how his colleagues describe his unique success story as a recognized pharmaceutical industry scholar, Rutgers Business School lecturer, expert in organizational change, investor, and senior executive in life sciences who currently serves as Executive Vice President of Global Commercialization at EVERSANA. Rohit prefers to make deep and deliberate connections in business and he shares some truly unique, practical case studies and solutions on performance metrics, hiring, team dynamics, mentorship, growth mindset, and execution in this episode. 3:10 - Q: What were some of the strongest teams you worked with or led in your career that you still remember today? 6:47 - Q: What are the principles to building a strong team? 9:32 - Q: How do you design a structure around a team with a strong culture and vision? 13:45 - Q: Why do teams with best products and best performers fail? 19:27 – We discuss a story of a state tennis champion three years back to back who plays on a high school basketball team as a bench player the entire season, wins a state championship, and later admits openly to his teammates that winning as a bench player was his biggest accomplishment to date because he was a member of a team even though he had won individual tennis state championships. Rohit: we all have certain role players on our teams. You do not have to be at the center of every play or decision of your team. One of my favorite interview questions - tell me about a time when you were a role player - what was your contribution to the success of failure, and reason? 21:12 - Q: Performance metrics - Do you think performance metrics can be designed to promote collaboration as well as healthy competition? The Net Promoter Scores at Eversana are very high. Team Collaboration will be one of our metrics we will be tracking at Eversana that will be a part of the variable compensation of our employees! We will capture these metrics by gathering feedback from various brand teams across different functions. Did you feel included? Did you know what decisions were being made? We have also implemented frameworks around processes and operations. Our philosophy is that leaders have to be consistent. And consistency does not just happen. There have to be operations and processes in place that allow for consistency in execution. In summary, we are focused on 3 KPIs - 1) internal behaviors that ensure a collaborative culture; 2) behaviors that stimulate our clients and stakeholders' satisfaction of the quality of our products through their feedback; and 3) operations and processes to ensure consistency. 25:56 - Metrics also impact how you think about your goals for the year. We have three tiers of goals at Eversana. The first goals are tied to organizational performance. The second are corporate citizenship goals - make sure to do something in your role that impacts work outside of your day job! The third level of performance goals are related to individual interests. 33:06 - Aspirational idea of 1 single global metric - earnings per share. If not met, individual metrics come into play - hierarchy / tiered approach. 36:45 - Q: How do you recalibrate teams after successes or failures? 38:39 - Case study of a recent team member's problem with a deadline 41:28 – Q: Do you think the sense of belonging is what helps the best teams to succeed specifically? 45:24 - Q: How do you manage transitioning from team to team as often as we do today? 49:43 - Q: Should everyone start a team of their own regardless of their role or experience? 58:54 - Key Final Messages from Rohit!
