Scott David
Human Cover: Lead Organizational Psychologist and President of iDENTITY iNTELLIGENCE®; COO at Upper Echelon Electrical LLC
Species / Archetype: Peregrine Architect.
Obsessions: High-velocity dialogue, systems architecture, books, computers, neurophysiological models, interior design, edge cases, ‘borderline’ states, and the structural weirdness hiding inside human behavior.
Native Strengths: Organization, methodicalness, systems thinking, systems design, coherence detection, human service, and translating between Newtonian and Einsteinian realities.
Derailers: Not eating. Not sleeping. Not stopping. Forgetting the body exists until it files a formal complaint. And… ‘Borderline’ states.
Newtonian Misread: “This guy has it all together; there’s nothing he needs.”
Approach Protocol: Interject, Interrupt, Talk a Lot, Talk Fast.
Chris Lindquist
Human Cover: President and Founder of Upper Echelon Electrical LLC; Chief Global Impact Officer at iDENTITY iNTELLIGENCE®
Species / Archetype: Octopus Cartographer.
Obsessions: Faith, family, fun, business, teaching, impact, possibility, and all eight arms of the unfolding situation.
Native Strengths: Multitasking, verbal energy, positivity, service, relational warmth, practical action, and seeing several realities at once.
Derailers: Squirrel syndrome. Pattern overreach. Building the future slightly before the data has agreed to cooperate.
Newtonian Misread: “This guy’s a bag of air.”
Approach Protocol: “Smile and wave boys… smile and wave.” — Navy SEAL Penguins from Madagascar
Paul Merton
Human Cover: Founder of Ethos Wine Group; Principal Strategic Advisor at iDENTITY iNTELLIGENCE®
Species / Archetype: Fox in the University (will change in the future if Paul can commit to a final decision)
Obsessions: Global travel & public speaking, ultra-complex problem solving, otherworldly pattern mapping, walking 10,000+ steps per day, foreign realities, elegant systems, and glow-stick dancing.
Native Strengths: Ridiculous strategic pattern mapping, remote-system comprehension, conceptual altitude, problem solving across invisible variables, and seeing the shape of things before language has caught up.
Derailers: Getting started. Finishing. Returning from the conceptual stratosphere with something Newtonians can actually hold.
Newtonian Misread: “What language is that; is he speaking in English right now?”
Approach Protocol: Build metaphorical and analogical scaffolds so his conceptualizations can keep traveling upward and outward (without losing the room entirely).
Jim Lange
Human Cover: President and Founder of JIMLANGE.net and 5FEET20. Executive Mastermind Roundtable architect; author, leadership advisor, men’s advocate, and practical biblical counselor for those navigating chaos, leadership wounds, and distorted family systems.
Species / Archetype: Bison Statesman
Obsessions: Executive brotherhood, wise counsel, biblical truth, men reclaiming their spine, practical leadership, moral courage, family-system jailbreaks, nonconformity, tactical next steps, and the exact right verse arriving at the exact right moment.
Native Strengths: Stability, reliability, responsibility, tactical wisdom, masculine steadiness, statesmanship, high-trust group architecture, quiet discernment, practical prophecy, and the rare ability to hold rooms full of powerful men without performing for them.
Derailers: Under-speaking what he already knows. Assuming the obvious wisdom has already landed. Letting louder minds orbit the room while he waits patiently with the actual answer.
Newtonian Misread: “He’s just a steady, nice Christian businessman.”
Approach Protocol: Talk freely. Think out loud. Let the room run fast, wide, and strange. Then stop when the Bison finally lowers his head, quotes an obscure verse from memory, and gives the one tactical word everyone actually needed.
