I help founders escape the messy middle
Most people teaching growth stopped building years ago. I'm still in the trenches. Making decisions every day.
I've spent 20 years starting companies, selling companies, and sometimes failing at companies. Learning the hard way what actually works.
Right now I'm working on pricing, hiring, positioning, and systems across real businesses I run and invest in. Same problems you're facing. Same seat you're sitting in.
If you're stuck in the messy middle, I can help. Not with theory. With what I've actually done.
20 years in.
Still making mistakes.
Still learning.
I started my first company at 24. Failed at some. Sold others. Built teams of 50+ people. Generated millions in annual revenue.
I'm not a consultant who studied business. I'm an operator who's been in the trenches for two decades.
