I joined my first start-up at 22. At 24 the startup failed, and my wife and I had to move in with my parents. At 25 we joined an inner city ministry in Kansas City. On Christmas Eve my parents and grandmother died in a car accident, and 9 months later the ministry collapsed.

 

At 26 we returned to Dallas and joined another startup in the waterproofing industry. At 27 the second startup failed due to a drought that lasted almost a year. At 28 I was hired to rebrand a rapidly growing home security company. At 29 the company lost its biggest customer, cut my contract and we lost everything, again.

 

After back to back layoffs, at 31 we moved to Rhode Island to design training for a large smart home company. At 32 I became the VP of Strategy, at 33 the Chief Marketing Officer, and at 34 the company went bankrupt due to COVID.

 

So at 35 we moved back to Texas, again, and I took an equity stake in a small company. After doubling its revenues in the first year we launched a second company in the same industry and took it nationwide. Then, in year 3 our industry experienced the worst downturn in U.S. history, and at 40 I had to shut the company down.

 

But here’s the part that doesn’t show up on the balance sheet. I became a certified NLP practitioner at 19. By the time I was 35 I published 2 five-star books on Amazon and sold over 500 copies. I designed the go-to-market strategy for a smart product incubator in Japan, coached executives and founders in multiple industries, and built some incredible brands. I published over 250 blogs on faith and spirituality, built a company that served customers in over 27 states while generating nearly $1M in revenue in its first 3 years, spoke at conferences, scaled teams, and created strategies that my former clients still use today.

 

That’s the paradox of life, you can only control what you put in, not what you get out. Which brings us to why I launched this project. 

 

When you’ve faced the amount of adversity I have, you can find yourself stuck in your grief, stuck in your self pity, stuck in your anger, your fear, your self doubt, and that’s just the mental part. Once you get out of your head, you have to contend with the actual things that are stuck in your life or business.

 

These are the places I’m intimately familiar with, where you know you need to take the next step, but you either can’t find the road, or the strength to walk it. So whether you’re stuck personally, or have a unique business problem, let’s talk. With enough time and effort, you’ll find a way to get UnStuck, but take it from me, it’s much faster (and less expensive) if I just throw you a rope.​
