THE WORLD'S BEST KNOW MAD GENIUS WORKS
About Reef
Who Created Mad Genius?
My name is Reef Karim.
As a double board-certified medical physician specializing in human behavior, neuroscience, creativity, communication, and addiction, and as am award-winning performing artist, I am familiar with both the darkest corners and the brightest edges of the human mind.
I created the Mad Genius program because I know the pain of not maximizing your abilities, of feeling like there’s something missing but not knowing how to change it, of feeling like you’re invisible; wasting your time, energy and talent because you have all this potential but it’s not activated.
The concept is simple: Change the way you express yourself to change the way you and your message are received. The ultimate power of transformation is not in marketing spend or how many videos you post, it’s in how you show up; your energy, your presence, WHAT you say, and HOW you say it.
“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 method with private clients at my treatment center and then business clients. Once I saw drastic changes in them, I started sharing this concept on stages all over the world.
I now help people leverage their authority, distinction, disruption, and expression, by sharing practical insights from neuroscience for mental clarity; creative performance techniques for mind expansion & captivating message delivery, and elements of humanistic psychology to prime minds for original thinking to stand out from everyone else who does what you do.
The most successful leaders are not clones, they are originals.
It’s time for you to be seen and recognized for your abilities and unique perspective. And to generate the service & impact that comes from upgrading your abilities.
If you’re ready to let out your Mad Genius, I’m ready to show you how.
And now the standard “fancy pants” biography…
Rarely do you see a scientist and performing artist sharing the same stage, let alone the same mind. But Reef Karim is an academic by day and creative by night who specializes in connecting our cognitive and creative mind and teaches entrepreneurs, health professionals and creative leaders the art and science of emotion exchange, personal storytelling, divergent thinking, creative disruption and originality activation for high performance in business and life. Reef founded The Theory of Madness and The Mad Genius Method, served as an Assistant Clinical Professor at the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience for over a decade, published in prestigious medical journals 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, Larry King, Anderson Cooper, Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, Today, GMA, CNN, FOX, and many others. For his groundbreaking work in innovation, medicine and entertainment, Reef was voted one of LA’s Most Fascinating People and one of People Magazine’s Sexiest Men Alive (hey, smart is sexy!)
