I’m wired to see possibility. From the time I was a little kid, I was always noticing how things were and imagining how they could be.

I’m always curious about creative ways to solve a problem or achieve a goal — not the way everyone else is going, but my own way. Efficient solutions are great, but they’ve gotta have beauty and joy, too. And I’ve discovered along the way: the joyful route often is the most efficient, because joy is an energy that propels us forward.

This wiring is also why I knew from a young age that the entrepreneurial life was for me. I did NOT like working for someone else. I want to run my own ship.

I started my first business when I was 19 and haven’t stopped since. I’ve built four companies and sold three of them.

Here’s the deal, though: part of being wired like this is that I notice when things aren’t working the way they should. Because when things aren’t working, that means that lots and lots of people aren’t connecting with their full potential — and in the long run, that hurts all of us.

I’m driven to repair what’s broken. To heal what’s wounded. To bridge what’s been separated. To amplify what’s been silenced or suffocated.

In other words: not only do I want to guide people towards their purpose, I also want to restore institutions and systems that hold people back from living their best lives.

Because we’re in a time where we need all hands on deck. We need bright minds and big spirits and bold ideas to solve the immense challenges we’re facing as a nation and as a global community — and we have to do everything we can to clear the way for the most amount of people to be able to live their best lives.

My core belief is… A rising tide lifts all boats.

Together let’s come up with bright ideas & approaches that allow all to live extraordinary lives.
