I share my real-world unfiltered experience building businesses and personal development strategies to connect with others in search of a similar path.
Marketer. Speaker. Investor. #samehere c-suite
- Entrepreneur by accident. Sat next to a guy on a plane who told me it was my destiny.
- Business strategist. Advisor to more than 220 companies since 2010.
- Founder of Fountain Forward, a marketing for automotive and small business agency.
- Founded next to the amazing partner Cameron Ross, Boat Count, a company that owns and operates Commercial and Multifamily Real Estate properties in Wisconsin & Texas.
- Co-Founder of #SameHere C-Suite thanks to the awesome partnership with Eric and his foundation.
- Speaking at the SBC Summit in NYC was a life changing experience
- My panel was focused on equity and inclusion, with my specific focus on championing Mental Health.
- The "system" is waiting for disorder and that's not how MH should be addressed. As business leaders, we must be more transparent about our own MH and give our employees tools to help with their MH.
- They say "1 in 5 people will suffer from a Mental Illness during their lifetime." My question is, what about the 4 in 5? We all experience stress, trauma, and challenge and it builds up like plaque in arteries. Mental Health is a daily conversation, not just when a burnout happens.
