I’ve been an entrepreneur my whole life, with a brief detour working for a software company from age 20 to 24. I’ve had some incredible wins, like building multiple companies to 8-figure annual revenues and enjoying a significant exit from my software company. But I’ve also faced my share of struggles, such as losing three years and $100k on my first ‘real’ company and walking away from another after investing several years and giving back my equity.I’ve learned a lot from both my successes and failures. In my videos, I share evidence-based strategies that worked for me; I hope they’ll provide you with a massive shortcut to reach your goals.
