Dr. Kim Taylor is a physician, author, and endurance athlete whose memoir, Dear Parts, chronicles her journey of healing from the effects of lifelong emotional neglect. 

After a serious health diagnosis led her to explore the connection between emotional trauma and physical illness, she discovered Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and began a profound process of self-discovery and healing. 

Through therapeutic work, letter writing, and deep inner exploration, Kim uncovered the impact of unresolved childhood experiences and learned to reconnect with herself in new ways. Her work offers an honest and deeply personal account of moving from decades of emotional detachment toward greater self-compassion, embodiment, and wholeness.

Mas Ati is a teacher, speaker, and founder of Xponential Intelligence (XI), whose work grew out of three near-death experiences that profoundly changed his understanding of consciousness and human potential. 

His first occurred at age 22, his second during a 2006 whitewater rafting accident in which he was trapped underwater for more than eight minutes, and his third in 2022, when his heart stopped after he was hospitalized in Peru. These experiences led Masati to develop Xponential Intelligence, an approach centered on consciousness, frequency, and identifying the deeper patterns he believes shape human behavior and experience.

A former web developer, Masati began working professionally with clients in 2009 and has since brought his work to individuals, business leaders, athletes, executives, and audiences around the world.
