Meet Our Founders
Jermane Easterlin, MBA
Jermane Easterlin thinks in ecosystems—how purposeful strategy, equitable technology, and caring relationships interlock to let people and businesses flourish. A veteran workforce-innovation leader, he has guided multimillion-dollar programs that upskill employees, expand access to opportunity, and embed equity into regional economies.
As the founder of Shift The Momentum and co-founder of The AI Institute for Life Improvement, Jermane delivers executive AI coaching and high-impact workshops that simplify advanced AI tools while centering people and purpose.
Grounded in Tacoma, Washington, Jermane serves as a deacon at Harvest Church and treasures the community that has shaped his journey. He and his wife Susan are raising two energetic young children whose curiosity fuels his own commitment to continuous learning and resilient hope.
“Momentum doesn’t happen by chance—it happens by choice,” he often reminds clients and friends, inviting them to overcome barriers, harness innovation, and build a future where everyone can thrive.
Jason Bosh
Jason Bosh spends his time thinking about how to build institutions and ecosystems that spur human flourishing.  He has worked with DaVita (A Fortune 300 Healthcare company) for 17 years- originally as an executive running a $300M division and now in leadership effectiveness, where he teaches operating executives how to build culture and process and helps shape DaVita’s approach to its holistic impact on its teammates.
His half-scope role at DaVita has given him time to work on The Flourishing Communities Project- an effort to foster a replicable ecosystem that provides the ingredients for human flourishing:  wisdom, financial stability, and a caring community.
He has several long-term communities important to him, including:  friends from college (UPS) that live in the same neighborhood in Tacoma, and friends from business school (Stanford) that are active with each other despite being spread out globally.   He has been married to Emily Bosh for 23 years and they have 3 awesome teenagers that keep them busy and full of joy.
Together, Jason and Jermane have built a thriving ecosystem where ideas flourish and builders at any skill level can turn concepts into reality.
