I've Worked With People At All Of These Companies

Why you might need a coach?

Well, in any given moment, at our fingertips, we can access the entirety of human knowledge, right?

Why then, have so many of us still been unable to use that information to heal our deficiencies and grow into our fullest potential?

Because in reality, it has nothing to do with the information itself, but rather how we integrate the information into our greater perspective and biology.

And this is where someone like me can be VERY helpful. Together, we will identify your faulty programming (just like in software), and then apply best practices to re-write new, robust patterns that will scale, and flex and grow, right along with life's challenges and opportunities.

The process in theory is very simple, though hard to do in practice. No matter whether you're healing from a failed relationship, trying to build the next Amazon or Tesla, or simply optimizing your health for greater longevity, the same general principles apply:

// Create a very clear intention
// Perform a shitload of work towards that goal (think 10,000+ hours)
// Refine as your intention shifts and your goals continue to evolve

This is what I've been doing for 20 years, helping people refine their perspective, and drive towards their goals. You can of course do it alone, but frankly, it'll likely be way less fun as I'm a pretty great partner-in-crime, and will probably take you a heck of a lot longer.

Why Coaching

About Me

• World-class private school education in New England (prep school, University degrees in Economics & Political Science).

• A decade + in traditional business (predominately finance), including the founding of a technology consulting firm that was later sold to a publicly traded company.

• Over 10,000 hours teaching mindful practices (yoga & meditation & breathwork), mainly to high net worth individuals.

• Over 4,000 working as a traditional therapist, focused on high-conflict couples.

• A self biohacking guinea pig with deep knowledge in all things 'optimal health related' (e.g. food, fitness, fasting, cold exposure, sleep).

• 20 + years trading the markets (including for other people), more recently preoccupied with complex derivative strategies (selling premium) and portfolio construction.

What Will We Do Together

How Will We Work - The Coaching Process

Connect & Build Trust

Connection is everything. So first we'll need a deep sense of trust in one another in order to uncover exactly what's holding you back from everything you want (think early childhood trauma and your epigenome). I work in the style of famous psychologist Carl Rogers, and follow his concept of building "mutuality", where the 'work' is really two like-minded individuals meeting on equal ground and being willing to explore and expand together. There is never any hierarchy in my work with you, as we always both learn and grow together.

Identify Opportunities & Create A Plan

Once we have developed a profound sense of trust, we will then pour all of your thoughts and goals onto the proverbial table, so that we can reconcile and prioritize and plan THE most important and actionable. With the right goal(s) and focus, and actual work put towards that aim, anyone can accomplish anything. Think in terms of Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hours, where to become an 'expert' at something, you need to put in the work, long and arduous work, to ultimately become a master. But then you can use that one type of mastery as a blueprint for the next, and so on.

Execute & Refine

Elon Musk's SpaceX is a world-class example of a team that took incredible risks, and at times failed miserably, and then learned and grew from each of those failures. Everything we will do together is art, not science, as we're working with ideas that are strongly influenced by a chemical and emotional creature (YOU). So, often the actual work that a client wants to accomplish only makes itself known after a few false starts in other less productive directions. So we will always remain open and flexible and willing to learn from all of the lessons that come our way.

Optimal Coaching Clients

I love whip smart people, high-performers, and those with a deeply curious mind. I spent the last two decades working predominately with some of the best and brightest out there - people who are used to driving towards success and willing to put in the work necessary to get there.

Almost all of my clients are entrepreneurial in spirit, and leaders in their own right. Sometimes they do it from within an existing company (I've worked with people at all of the companies represented below) or sometimes they create something from scratch themselves.

But the common theme in all of the success stories I've ever been a part of, is the sheer willingness on the part of my clients to not just take my word for anything, or parrot common societal thinking on a subject, but rather to engage in purposeful, critical thinking in order to find their own path.

Coaching Pay/Schedule

Most people in the coaching industry try to sell you on large and expensive "packages", and hide their fees behind a sales funnel, so you don't really know what you'll be paying until much later. Then when it's not working well, which is often the case once you realize the coach is better at selling coaching than delivering on services, you lose faith and drop off, and the coach keeps your money, and leaves you feeling even more despondent than you were when you first started.

THAT is not my style, AT ALL. Everything I do is upfront, simple, and straight-forward:

• I generally encourage any new client start with at least 2 or 3 months of a monthly subscription before we consider backing off to a less regular meeting cadence, though I am open to scheduling ad hoc sessions with new people, depending.

• That monthly subscription (which is pre-paid and non-refundable), covers one 75-minute call/week + unlimited email support, and costs $850US/month.

But before we ever commit to any work together, because it actually is a deep and purposeful commitment that we make to each other, we meet (at no cost to you), to explore whether 1) we like each other, 2) whether you believe I can help you, 3) whether I think you're ready to do the necessary work to accomplish your goals, 4) whether we can be successful together. And then if we both feel it, that we can f-ing kill it working together, we schedule a weekly time slot that works for both of us, and we hit the ground running.
