I failed at five companies in my teens and twenties. Every single one.

People saw me as a "wantrepreneur" who couldn't actually lead. I didn't know if I had what it took to build something that lasted.

Everything changed when I got married and my wife agreed to let me quit my job for one more shot. I couldn't let this one fail.

So I read every business book I could find. I learned to grow a company the right way. That company grew 31% annually for 10 years straight, from $0 to $2M.

Here's what I learned: Most business owners get stuck at predictable revenue plateaus: $500K, $2M, $5M. The problem isn't strategy. It's isolation.

You're making critical decisions alone that could make or break your business. You need other successful owners who've been where you're going.

That's why I founded The Arena, a revenue accelerator for $200K-$10M business owners. We host peer groups of 6-8 founders who meet monthly (virtually) to solve real problems and break through plateaus together.

Our members grew an average of 15.5% last year:

- One member grew 77% and successfully exited
- Another navigated a difficult partner breakup and grew 23%
- An owner who thought "non-growth was fine" changed his mind and grew 17%

This isn't consulting. It's founders helping founders with battle-tested experience.

Ready to break past your next revenue plateau? Let's talk about whether The Arena is right for you. 

Schedule a call (https://calendly.com/the-arena-network/strategy-call) or send me a message.

The best time to solve tomorrow's problems is with today's peer group.

3x Founder | Founder Acceleration Coach | Helping high-performing founders scale faster with absolute clarity | Sold $65mm online

As a founder of 3 companies and 1 non-profit, with 2 successful exits, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to grow a business.

I’ve also experienced the toll of stress, insomnia, and health challenges. I know how overwhelming it can be when scaling your business feels like an uphill battle.

In my 11 years with EO Argentina, I listened to the struggles of +100 successful founders (doing at least USD 1M a year in sales). I realized that beneath the surface, it’s often chaos: isolation, financial pressure, and fear of burnout. 

While most accelerators focus on startups, the truth is that, for businesses under $10MM in revenue, the biggest bottleneck to growth is you: the founder.

That's why I created Founder Accelerator: to empower the founders of renowned companies like Swag, Trading Company, Sancho Motors, Jams, Crawford Partners LLC, Lemon Basil, We Are Doers, and Mad Hatter LLC. 

My mission is to help them scale themselves first enhancing their clarity, focus, and efficiency, so they can grow their businesses with unparalleled speed and confidence.

Through personalized coaching, a 5-pillar playbook, and access to top professionals, we don’t just build businesses — we optimize the founder. 

If you're ready to scale your business while maintaining a healthy, balanced life, send me a DM and I’ll show you how Founder Accelerator can help you achieve both.
