I turn failure into fuel.
Navigating two decades of trials, I've transformed my series of falls into stepping stones. Now, I guide others to see failure not as a dead end, but as the fuel for growth.
My journey has been marked by setbacks - dropping out of college, navigating through unsuccessful business ventures and job losses, enduring the pain of a broken marriage, and experiencing homelessness. These experiences taught me an invaluable lesson: life isn't measured by the frequency of our falls, but by our resilience in rising again.
I'm on a mission, a straightforward yet powerful one: to Fail Forward.
Are you ready to turn your setbacks into comebacks with me?
