I help ADHD founders build their dream business without the constant doubt, overwhelm, analysis and rollercoaster of chaos.

I’ve built and sold companies.
Sold millions to countless Fortune 500 brands. 
Led teams to the Inc. 500 — twice.
Hired and managed dozens of people. 

But none of that compares to what I do now.

Because for most of my career, I looked successful on paper… while silently battling chaos behind the scenes.

As a founder with ADHD, 
I lived in cycles of burnout, 
inconsistency, 
and confusion. 

I knew I had potential but I couldn’t access it consistently.
And I couldn’t lead the way I wanted to.

That realization was that my brain wasn’t broken, just wired differently, changed everything.

I went deep: therapy, coaching, performance frameworks, behavioral science.
And rebuilt my life from the inside out.

Now, I run Accountable, a coaching platform and community for visionary founders who want to scale with structure, lead with clarity, and operate at their full capacity.

I help founders break the cycles holding them back:

⛔ Overwhelm, distraction, and emotional reactivity
⛔ Team misalignment, conflict, or delegation struggles
⛔ Constant firefighting and decision fatigue

And instead build:

✅ Calm, confident leadership
✅ Clear systems for execution and delegation
✅ Habits that drive focus, momentum, and scale

If you're a startup founder who knows you're capable of more — but can’t seem to unlock it — I’d love to connect.

Because when you shift your internal operating system, everything else follows.

Let’s talk.

What most people throw away, some minds turn into genius.

At first glance, they were just old jerry cans.
Used. Ignored. Written off.

But for a curious mind, they were something else.
A question waiting to be asked.
A problem waiting to be solved.

This is how ADHD creativity often shows up.
Not through perfect plans or expensive tools -
but through instinct, experimentation, and fearless curiosity.

An ADHD mind doesn’t ask, “What’s the correct way?”
It asks, “What else could this become?”

What others saw as scrap, he saw as possibility.
Not because he had better resources -
but because he thought differently.

Old jerry cans became raw material.
Curiosity became the blueprint.
Creativity did the rest.

ADHD innovation starts where rules end.
It thrives on reuse, remixing, and reimagining.

This isn’t chaos.
It’s creative problem-solving in motion.

Because ADHD minds don’t just adapt to limits -
they turn limits into ideas.

And sometimes, the most brilliant solutions come
from seeing value where others see waste.

Most ADHD founders don’t lack ambition.

They’re drowning in it.

Too many goals.
Too many ideas.
Too much future packed into one plan.

Annual planning turns that into pressure.
And pressure is where execution quietly disappears.

What helps isn’t pushing harder.
It’s reducing the load.

Shorter timelines.
Fewer priorities.
A plan that tells you what now matters.

That’s the point of this 90-minute Q1 planning workshop for ADHD founders.

Inside the session, we’ll:
– step away from annual goal overload
– choose a realistic Q1 focus
– plan work in short, ADHD-friendly sprints
– break one priority into simple monthly actions
– leave with a clear Week 1 plan you can actually follow

This isn’t a motivational webinar.
It’s a practical reset.

Less noise.
More clarity.
Real momentum.

Most ADHD founders aren’t failing because they can’t focus.

They’re failing because the plan they’re following doesn’t fit their brain.

Annual goals. Big roadmaps. “One plan for the whole year.”

They look impressive.
They also quietly die by February.

What actually works is smaller, shorter, and simpler.

One quarter.
A few priorities.
A rhythm you can actually stick to.

That’s exactly what we’ll build in this 90-minute Q1 planning workshop.

You’ll learn to:
– stop overloading your brain with year-long goals
– pick a realistic Q1 focus
– plan in short, ADHD-friendly sprints
– break one focus into monthly steps
– leave with a Week 1 plan you can execute

No hype.
No pressure.
Just a system that finally lets you move forward.

Plan less. Ship more. Gain momentum.

5 Silent Systems ADHD Minds Use to Stay Grounded

ADHD isn’t always loud, chaotic, or restless.
Sometimes it’s quiet determination.
Internal rhythm.
Micro-systems we build that nobody sees.

We don’t always talk about it -
but these silent habits keep us steady.

Here are 5 grounding systems ADHD brains rely on:

1/ Emotional Calibration
➝ We check in with ourselves constantly.
➝ “Do I feel okay? What’s overwhelming me?”
➝ Emotional self-awareness becomes our compass.
➝ When we’re in tune, we stay balanced.

2/ Micro-Prioritizing in Real Time
➝ We don’t plan everything days ahead.
➝ We prioritize based on momentum + clarity.
➝ One step at a time.
➝ One meaningful task → then the next.

3/ Anchor Habits
➝ We don’t need 50 habits - we need 3 anchors.
➝ A morning reset.
➝ A workspace ritual.
➝ A nightly wind-down.
➝ These keep our brain from spiraling.

4/ Controlled Input Mode
➝ When overwhelmed, we reduce noise instead of pushing harder.
➝ Minimal notifications.
➝ Quiet room or headphones.
➝ Simplified tasks.
➝ Focus grows where stimulation shrinks.

5/ Purpose-Check Mechanism
➝ We don’t move on autopilot - we need meaning.
➝ If the “why” is real, energy unlocks.
➝ If not… we recalibrate, not quit.
➝ Our purpose fuels our presence.

ADHD grounding isn’t rigid.
It’s not forced discipline or hyper-control.

It’s small inner systems that keep us aligned -
quiet strength, not constant motion.

Your steadiness doesn’t need to look like theirs.

You don’t need perfection.
You need anchors, awareness, and intentional energy.

ADHD isn’t just fast minds -
it’s deep minds learning to move with rhythm, not chaos.
