About

Over the last decade, I helped build two companies past a $1B valuation and raise over $300M in venture capital.

Then, in 2019, I burned out.

So, I decided to walk away from my high-paying executive job.

But, before I could, I had a hypothesis.

I believed building an audience online would be an incredible asset. That attention was the new currency and would play a major part in my success as an entrepreneur.

So, I started building my brand on LinkedIn in early 2019.

And the results were pretty phenomenal.

In just 6 months I grew from zero followers to over 20,000.

And on August 1st of 2019, I walked away from my executive role at a fast-growing startup.

Since that day, I've spent my time building a number of one-person Internet businesses.

My mission is to be the "Diversified Solopreneur."

My results:

→ $9.1M+ in business revenue at a ~90% profit margin.
→ 660K+ people following my journey on LinkedIn
→ 500K+ people following my journey on Twitter
→ 200K+ people read my weekly newsletter
→ 600M+ impressions in the last 4 years

If you want to learn more about how I did this, you can take one of my self-guided courses.
