My story isn't typical - it's not about steady corporate progression or entrepreneurship from the start. At 23, as a single dad, my journey took an unexpected turn. In big corporations, where I stayed longer than planned, I experienced a different kind of growth. Each night, after my son slept, my dual life as a father and ambitious professional unfolded. But here's something you might not know: in these big companies, I didn't just get by; I excelled. Leading teams from two to 550, I was more than just another face. I was a leader, learning about product development and large-scale expansion. Yet, I constantly wondered, 'Am I too late to start my own business?' This internal struggle, balancing comfort and ambition, kept me restless. Outwardly successful in corporate, inwardly, I yearned for something of my own. Skeptics called my desire to leave a stable career crazy, intensifying my internal conflict. As my son became more independent, my perspective shifted. A change was brewing, a readiness for something new. That's when I left my corporate safety net, embracing the unknown. The excitement of change was tangible, but what was to come? My journey, initially thought to be solo, became a collaborative effort. My first customer, my peers - they were more than connections; they were catalysts for transformation. This transformation led to founding two startups in seven years. Leaving corporate life for entrepreneurship was more than a business move; it was self-discovery, realizing my potential. My achievements are clear: → Generated 9-figure revenue growth for clients and employers. → Progressed through 10 roles in two companies before venturing out. → Grew bootstrapped businesses to 7 and 8-figure heights. → Developed numerous leaders. → Launched several products. → Built two startups in seven years.
