Special Operations Medic

I help high-achieving professionals achieve peak performance in high-stress situations without falling victim to stress and burnout. From college dropout to Special Operations team, I share my lessons learned.

Hey, I'm Joel.

TLDR people

I spent 12 years on a Marine Special Operations team. I have dedicated my life to mastering the art of discipline, mental toughness, and resilience. I help clients to harness their inner warrior to conquer life's challenges and emerge stronger. 

The long story. 

I spent the first 22 years of my life lost. Dropped out of college, and worked dead-end jobs. No direction in life. Through finding discipline and mental toughness I was able to enlist in the military and build a career in Special Operations.

Mental toughness and discipline have allowed me to do things I never thought possible: 

- 50-mile runs
- 10 mile swims
- 20 Mile ruck runs

Plus much more.

Most people go through life never realizing what they are capable of.

I was 22 when I realized something most consultants never do:

You can be world-class at your craft and still invisible online.

That realization hit me hard.

I’d watch HR leaders with 20+ years of experience — people who had solved billion-dollar problems — post on LinkedIn and get… 12 likes.

Meanwhile, their growth depended entirely on referrals that might dry up any moment.

So I built a different path.

In the past three years, I've helped my clients build a:
• $15,000/month recurring community for an agency founder
•$64,000 launch for an online coach
• $5,000+ in course sales for a first-time creator
• 10.9M views + high-ticket clients for a fitness expert
• 2.6M views + acquisition for an 8-figure agency

How?

Using the tested system to grow and monetize your LinkedIn account:

•Premium positioning + profile
• Monthly content prepared for you (you only spend 4 hours/month on calls)
• Lead magnet + conversion funnel setup
• DMs + nurture scripts that actually convert

Today, I help Fractional CHROs and People Ops leaders become authorities on LinkedIn—without turning into full-time creators.

This isn’t just about building a personal brand...

It’s about having the autonomy, authority, and right income without asking permission from gatekeepers.

If you’re an HR consultant who wants to stop being invisible, DM me “HR AUTHORITY.”

I’ll show you what your LinkedIn engine could look like.
