About 7 or 8 years ago, I had a conversation with a friend that has guided my professional life ever since.

I was at a point in my life where I was clear about what I no longer wanted to do professionally but was painfully unclear about what I actually wanted to do moving forward.

While on a walk with my wise friend, I asked him what he thought I should do, and his answer was, “Bet on yourself.”

He said, “identify the greatest skills you have, sharpen them every day and then explore where they would most add value in the market.”

At that time, I was so deep into overthinking everything that I asked my friend (who I had known for over 20 years), “What do you think my greatest skills are?”

Without hesitating, he said, “That is easy. Communicating and coaching people are easily your greatest skills. Whatever you do or build, make sure it is betting

on those skills.”

Since that conversation, I began hosting the Zero to 5000 podcast, where I’ve interviewed over 250 founders of today’s fastest-growing companies passing on their lessons to the next generation of entrepreneurs.

I also co-founded an executive coaching company that helps leaders eliminate burnout and blindspots in themselves and their teams.

Because of our success in that space, I have the privilege of being a keynote speaker for some incredible organizations and conferences.

Oh, and I also wrote the book “ Go For It,” which I talk more about below.

My greatest passion in life is to see people flourish.

I feel that way only because of the suffering I have had to navigate myself and overcome, like Chronic Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Fatigue, Stress, Overwhelm, Self Doubt, Analysis Paralysis, and Financial Hardships, etc.

I do not believe those issues are unique to me because I hear many of them every single day in the lives of my executive clients. I also wholeheartedly believe that they are a huge factor in our overall success and happiness in this life.

When people begin to heal and grow in these areas, their personal life begins to flourish, and so does their professional life.

I believe that is why so many organizations, businesses, and CEOs have decided to bring me in to speak, train, coach, and in many cases, keep my company on retainer.

My clients all call me something different…

a performance coach,

leadership coach,

executive coach, etc.

What you call me doesn’t matter as long as you know that my # 1 job is to help you see what is really holding you back from greater health, happiness, or success and get you over those hurdles as quickly as humanly possible.
