My entire life, I thought I was going to be a Doctor just like my father.
 
Then in 2017, I realized it wasn't my passion.
 
So, I decided to end my pre-medicine college track.
 
But, before I could, I had to have a plan.
 
My dad grew his medicine practice by building relationships and grow by word of mouth.
 
These same relationships he built were the foundation for me to seek help and learn about other career paths.
 
So, I started calling his network.
 
The second call I made was to his financial planner, Timmy.
 
Timmy taught me that there's 3 things everybody thinks about before they fall asleep.
 
1st: Did I hurt anyone today? If so, you can talk to someone about that.
 
2nd: Am I healthy? If not, you can call your doctor tomorrow - that's my Dad.
 
3rd: Have I made the right financial decisions for my family? That's where I come in.
 
I'm okay with batting 3rd in that lineup.
 
Since that day, I've spent my time simplifying financial decisions for my clients.
 
How I can help you:

➡️Review every year because life happens and things change
➡️Feel confident to make difficult financial decisions
➡️Develop a simple, implementable financial plan
➡️Hold you accountable to your goals

My results:

➡️The best 1st year my agency has ever seen in its 130+ year history
➡️Rookie of the year 2021
➡️New Advisor of the year 2021
➡️Over 100 households (and counting) receiving my help & expertise

Build generational wealth without the money stress | Financial Advisor for Big Tech (Paycom, Oracle, Salesforce) | Top 25 MassMutual Financial Advisor (2024)

You closed $4M in deals this year. You hit President's Club. 

You're making $500K... Why's your bank account look the same as 3 years ago?

Let me guess:

→ $80K commission check hit last month - already gone
→ RSUs vesting quarterly, no idea if you should sell
→ Owed $40K in taxes you weren't expecting
→ Looking at houses you can't tell if you can afford
→ Spouse is stressed about money even though you're crushing quota
→ You're one bad quarter away from serious financial stress

You're a B2B Sales Leader at a high-growth tech company.
You close seven-figure deals for your company.
You advise C-suite executives on complex buying decisions.

But your own finances are in total chaos.

Here's why:

Traditional financial advice doesn't work for enterprise sales.

"Just save 20% and max your 401k" doesn't mean anything when:

Your income swings $50K month-to-month
You have RSUs, ESPP, commission, or bonuses all hitting at different times
Your "income" includes stock that might be up 30% or down 20%
You're taxed at rates that nobody explains properly

You don't need a financial advisor who works with "high earners."

You need someone who works with sales leaders who live in your world.

That's us.

We work with Sales Leaders at B2B SaaS and Tech companies.

Here's what we do:

Phase 1: Stop the Bleeding

→ Commission cash flow system (capture money before it disappears)
→ RSU strategy (minimize the tax hit or concentration when vested)
→ Protection planning (life, disability - so your family is covered)

Phase 2: Build the Buffer

→ Build emergency fund (handle slow quarters without panic)
→ Automate commission capture (money builds wealth before spending)
→ Know what you can actually afford (house, cars, private school - no guessing)

Phase 3: Build Real Wealth

→ Diversify beyond company stock (systematic selling, no emotion)
→ Tax planning with your CPA (keep more of what you earn within your control)
→ Build multiple income streams (not 100% dependent on quota)

The outcome we plan for?

You're not just making money. 
You're keeping it.

You're not just hitting quota. 
You're building generational wealth.

You're not stressed about the next deal. 
You have OPTIONS.

THAT is your Freedom Path.

If you're crushing quota and tired of feeling broke, let's fix that.

Graewolves 

When we founded Graewolves, I recognized a critical challenge facing professional service providers: in markets where everyone has similar credentials, expertise, and experience, how do you become the obvious choice? 

Law firms where every partner graduated from prestigious schools, medical practices where every physician is board-certified, therapy centers where all practitioners hold advanced degrees, science-based founders where everyone has PhD—yet some thrived while others struggled. 

The difference wasn't competence or qualifications. It was their ability to build trust and demonstrate value in a crowded marketplace where expertise had become a commodity.


Throughout the years, we have developed our proprietary 3-Axis Framework to solve this exact problem—helping professionals stand out when seemingly identical credentials fill their market. This research-based methodology (Based on Phd research) transforms how clients position themselves by focusing on three critical elements: establishing a "Category of One" position that makes comparison shopping impossible, strategically placing the right trust signals where potential clients experience doubt, and engineering a comprehensive trust ecosystem throughout the client journey. 

Our work focuses particularly on professional service providers who struggle with price sensitivity, lengthy sales cycles, and difficulty articulating their unique value despite having excellent qualifications. 

By implementing systematic trust-building rather than relying on creative intuition, we help these professionals escape the "sea of sameness" in their industries and position themselves as the clear, logical choice for their ideal clients—not by claiming superior expertise, but by presenting their existing expertise in a way that eliminates doubt and justifies premium rates.

Co-Founder

Brand Strategist

As a copywriter, I observed a fundamental disconnect in professional service communication: law firms, medical practices, therapy centers, and even consultants were fluent in their specialized vocabularies but struggled to translate that expertise into language their clients actually understood. 

These experts knew their fields deeply but couldn't bridge the comprehension gap that was costing them clients and patients who simply didn't understand the value being offered.

Graewoles specializes in science communication for complex professional services—essentially becoming a translator between experts and their audiences. 

Drawing from research in cognitive psychology and information processing, we have developed a methodology for converting specialized knowledge into accessible language without sacrificing accuracy or authority. 

This approach involved collaborating closely with professionals to identify the critical concepts clients needed to understand, then creating strategic messaging hierarchies that presented information in the order clients actually needed it (not the order experts preferred to explain it). 

The work consistently revealed that effective professional communication isn't about simplifying the expertise itself—it's about contextualizing that expertise within the client's actual concerns and decision-making process. 

By bridging this communication gap, these professionals could finally demonstrate their value in terms their potential clients immediately understood and appreciated, transforming how they positioned their considerable expertise in markets where being understood became their most powerful differentiator.

Attract your ideal clients, deliver unforgettable experiences, and boost your bottom line | Fractional Brand Strategist | Founder of Graewolves 🐺

In markets where expertise is assumed and regulations create a baseline of competence, traditional differentiation fails spectacularly. 

Another case study, credential, or degree simply adds to the pre-existing noise. 

The real challenge for businesses in complex, regulated industries isn't developing expertise—it's engineering trust and answering the critical question: "Why you instead of them?"

This insight led to the creation of Graewolves—a brand strategy firm built specifically for businesses where everyone looks qualified on paper, but few can translate qualification into client trust.

What truly sets our approach apart is our foundation in PhD-level behavioral science and buyer psychology research. While most agencies rely on creative hunches, we apply rigorous scientific methodologies to identify the psychological patterns that make clients perceive an option as the safest, smartest choice.

Our proprietary 3-Axis Framework transforms these insights into measurable business impact:

→ Category of One: We position you to stand out so uniquely that no competitor can match, becoming "Already Chosen" in your niche.

→  Right Buyer Signals: We embed proof precisely where prospects hesitate, eliminating doubt at critical decision points.

→  Engineering Trust: We systematically build credibility so premium fees and faster closes feel natural to clients.

When brands are built on this research foundation and trust is engineered correctly, the results are tangible: sales cycles shorten dramatically, price sensitivity evaporates, and conversion rates climb.

We don't approach branding as a creative exercise or subjective effort—it's a systematic, scientifically-grounded approach to generating measurable returns for businesses where being "just another qualified option" is no longer enough.

If you're interested in a branding and marketing approach based on facts, not guesswork, we're just a DM away. Let's set up a call and chat about your next project.
