I bootstrapped a social media company.
I sold it for $50M.
I continued to run the company until 2021, driving unprecedented growth.
While my professional life soared, I was a lost and broken human on the inside.
Going through a divorce, seeing how social media and my lifestyle were influencing me, and wondering what it was all doing to my then nine-year-old son, I left social media. In between it all, I traveled the world and trekked mountains.
In February 2021, I got a call.
The company I had created and nurtured to success was heading in a new direction—and I wasn’t invited.
It was f****** awful.
But that’s the thing about true growth. It never comes easy.
The next 22 months was a time of self-reflection, self-discovery, making an identity shift, and finding my new purpose—my Next. In between becoming the world’s best Dad Uber driver, reconnecting with my kids, and finding new love, I discovered the power of accountability in ensuring success in all areas of my life.
Now, I’m the founder of the Business Athlete Performance Lab (BAPL) and host of Live in the Lab, a SaaS (Show as a Service) aimed at inspiring, informing, and motivating growth-stage entrepreneurs and startup founders to achieve their Big Hairy Audacious Goals through the power of accountability.
