In 1999 I was a sales leader for SYSCO Denver.

I was doing pretty well, but saw that there was an imbalance.

I had the blood, sweat and tears and my managers had nice cushy offices with pictures of beach vacations.

- I was making $80k/year working 60 hours/week
- They were making $250k at 30 hours/week
- And, SYSCO was a $30B/year company

I realized then and there that I wanted a better lifestyle, so my entrepreneurial adventures began.


The path to success has never been easy. 

In 2003, after 15 years of heavy drinking, I was able to get sober.


That’s an important part of my story, because I learned that alcohol isn't the problem.

It’s what I used to cope with the REAL problem... my thinking.

If we can master our mindset, we can design a beautiful life.


I've built 2 multimillion dollar companies and managed dozens of teams.

The first was a Rare Coins and Precious Metals Company, which was my greatest teacher and changed my life forever.

It taught me that if we don’t manage our minds, life becomes very difficult.

And, even if we make some money, we’re struggling in other areas like our relationships or health.


No matter how successful we become, if we’re not masters of our minds, we’re not as successful as we could be.

I’ve coached some of the highest level leaders and entrepreneurs to master their minds, scale their businesses and build beautiful lives.


It’s never an easy process, but well worth the effort.

And, with the right guidance, it’s MUCH easier.


In 2021, I realized that Linkedin is much more than just a job posting platform, so I decided to build a brand and business on here which has transformed my life!

And, I help others do the same.

- I am a business coach to elite leaders and entrepreneurs
- I have an investment education/management company
- I now have 205,000 Linkedin followers (350,000 total)
- I live on the Caribbean Sea in Playa Del Carmen, MX
- I have a newsletter with over 145,000 subscribers
- I live in Valencia, Spain 3 months per year
- I am a pretend middle-aged athlete

I went from making $80k and building somebody else’s dreams,

To unlimited potential and living my own dreams everyday!

If you’re interested in learning how I did this, there are a couple ways I can help.

1. Join the Elite Leaders Network: https://www.eliteleadersnetwork.com/

2. Or, if you’d like to dive deep, I take on about 10 clients per year.

Life will always be challenging.
That part doesn’t change.
No matter how successful you become…

How much money you make…
How disciplined or spiritual 
or optimized you are…

There will still be pressure.
There will still be uncertainty.
There will still be seasons that stretch 
you in ways you didn’t expect.

I’ve never met anyone who “arrived” 
at a level where problems disappeared.

What changes isn’t the existence of challenge.
It’s the way they see it.

Because sometimes the 
problem isn’t your life.
It’s your glasses.

You can be standing in the 
exact same situation
with the exact same facts
and experience two completely different 
realities based on the lens 
you’re looking through.

The same event can feel like:
• A crisis
• Or a classroom

• A rejection
• Or a redirection

• A breakdown
• Or a breakthrough

Nothing externally changed.
Your perspective did.

Here are 5 “New Glasses” That Change Everything:

1/ From “Why Is This Happening To Me?”
 ↳ To “What Is This Teaching Me?”
 Victimhood drains you
 Curiosity strengthens you

2/ From “This Is Too Hard”
 ↳ To “This Is Building Me”
 Growth always feels uncomfortable
 Muscles tear before they grow

3/ From “I’m Behind”
 ↳ To “I’m On My Own Timeline”
 Comparison creates panic
 Focus creates progress

4/ From “I Failed”
 ↳ To “I Learned”
 Failure is data
 Data makes you dangerous in the best way

5/ From “I Can’t Handle This”
 ↳ To “I Haven’t Figured It Out Yet”
 Add “yet” to your vocabulary
 It keeps the door open

Life doesn’t promise comfort.
It promises growth.

But growth seen through the right lens
builds strength instead of resentment.
Wisdom instead of bitterness.
Resilience instead of fear.

You don’t always need a new life.
Sometimes you just need 
a new pair of glasses.

How are you seeing things right now?

“Do what you love and you’ll never 
work a day in your life.”
Most people hear that and roll their eyes.

Because for them…
Work feels heavy.
Draining... Forced.
Like pushing a boulder uphill 
every Monday morning.

But here’s what I’ve noticed after years 
of building businesses with 
creative marketing and branding...

When you’re aligned with what 
you’re meant to do…
work feels completely different.

You stop forcing everything.
And something powerful starts to happen.
You enter flow state.

The hours disappear.
Your energy increases instead of draining.
Problems turn into puzzles instead of stress.

You’re no longer dragging yourself 
through the day.
You’re being pulled forward by purpose.

Alignment creates a kind of momentum 
that discipline alone can’t replicate.

Because when your work aligns with
your strengths, your values, 
and your natural curiosity
effort stops feeling like sacrifice.

And this is where most people 
get it wrong.
They think success comes from grinding harder.

But success usually comes from finding 
the lane where your effort compounds naturally.
The place where what feels natural to you…
creates massive value for others.

That’s when things start to accelerate.
You get better faster.
Opportunities appear.
People want to work with you.
Not because you’re forcing it…
But because you’re operating exactly 
where you’re supposed to be.

If you want to move back into alignment 
and access flow more consistently, start here:

1. Audit Your Energy
Notice what work gives you 
energy vs. drains it. 
Flow often hides inside the tasks 
that make you lose track of time.

2. Clarify Your Core Values
When your work violates your values, 
friction appears. When it supports them, 
momentum appears.

3. Play to Your Natural Strengths
Flow happens when skill meets challenge. 
Double down on what you're 
naturally wired to do well.

4. Eliminate the Noise
Most people are too distracted to enter flow. 
Protect deep work time and remove 
unnecessary obligations.

5. Follow the Pull
Alignment usually feels like curiosity 
and excitement... not pressure. 
Move toward what naturally pulls you forward.

The real goal isn’t to escape work.
It’s to find the work that feels 
like an extension of who you are.

Because when you do…
You don’t need motivation.
You just need time.

Are you working in alignment 
with your TRUE self?

Marketing and branding are changing in real time.
Not every decade. Not every year. 
Every single day.

When Mercedes-Benz began in 1886, 
branding looked very different.
There was no social media.
No paid ads dashboard.
No email funnels.

Reputation spread slowly.
Word of mouth traveled at 
the speed of conversation.
Trust was built over years... 
sometimes generations.

Today?
A brand can be built in 30 days.
And destroyed in 30 minutes.

The way Mercedes marketed 140 years ago 
is not the way they marketed 20 years ago.
And it’s definitely not the way 
they market today.

Now ask yourself this:
What will branding look like in 5 years?
At this pace… probably unrecognizable.
Maybe even in 5 months.

Algorithms shift.
Platforms evolve.
AI rewrites the rules overnight.

What worked last quarter
can already feel outdated.

Here’s the hard truth:
We used to be able to fall behind a little.
There wasn’t much to catch up on.
Change was slower.

Now?
If you stop innovating for a year,
you’re not a year behind.
You might be five.
The gap compounds.

If we’re not upgrading our systems, 
our thinking, our skill sets, and even 
our identities in real time… 
the market won’t wait for us.

This isn’t about chasing every shiny object.
It’s about staying adaptable.

The companies that win aren’t the biggest.
They’re the fastest learners.
The leaders who win aren’t the loudest.
They’re the most flexible.
Innovation is no longer a competitive edge.
It’s survival.

The future doesn’t punish slow starters.
It punishes slow adapters.

Are you building for the world that was…
Or the one that’s coming next?

We’ve all been there. 
When the wheels come off.
And, everything falls apart.

You have the perfect project plan, the team 
is aligned, and the finish line is in sight. 

Then... BOOM!!! 
Your best client quits, a technical bug 
wipes a week of work, or the market 
shifts overnight. 

The wheels haven't just wobbled... 
they’ve completely come off.

In these high-pressure moments, 
your leadership isn't defined by the 
crisis itself, but by your internal 
operating system...
By your response to the crisis.

Most people fall into one of three categories:

1/ The Reactor
 ↳ Feels the chaos and amplifies it
 ↳ Makes fast, emotional decisions 
just to feel in control
 ↳ Focuses on putting out fires instead 
of finding the root cause

2/ The Pretender
 ↳ Acts like nothing is wrong
 ↳ Pushes harder on a broken strategy
 ↳ Hopes effort will fix what requires clarity

3/ The Responder
 ↳ Pauses before speaking
 ↳ Separates emotion from data
 ↳ Asks, “What is the most intelligent 
move right now?”

If you want to lead well when things 
fall apart, do this:

1/ Force the Pause
 ↳ When the wheels are off, speed makes it worse
 ↳ Step back, breathe, think
 ↳ Ten calm minutes can save ten chaotic days

2/ Audit the Damage, Not the Blame
 ↳ This is not the moment to find a scapegoat
 ↳ Get clear on what actually happened
 ↳ Facts first, feelings second

3/ Establish the New Baseline
 ↳ The old plan is gone
 ↳ Accept reality fast
 ↳ Build forward from what is true now, 
not what “should” have happened.

Character is not built in a crisis.
It is REVEALED in the crisis.

The best leaders are not the ones who never fall.
They are the ones who can steady themselves 
faster than everyone else.

When things go sideways, do you react… or respond?
