Most folks are surprised to hear I replaced myself as CEO of Plura after being selected by YCombinator and raising millions from top Silicon Valley investors. I didn’t have a choice. Today, I’m sharing one of my most vulnerable life stories with you. I spent years scaling Plura, only to realize I was neglecting the most important thing: scaling myself. My own founder journey brought incredible highs, but also led me to chronic back pain and burnout. The pain became so severe that I'd have to peel myself away from my computer and lie down for half the day, sometimes in tears. I couldn’t run a company if I couldn’t sit at a desk. I knew I needed my full focus to look at this challenge, so I replaced myself as CEO. It was a painful lesson, but it led me to a powerful discovery. I found that my pain, despite years of thinking it was due to my scoliosis, was actually neuroplastic – a result of chronic stress and overwhelm. I healed through Pain Reprocessing Therapy, a modality based on somatic (body) awareness. I essentially used mindfulness to cure an extreme chronic condition. This experience sparked a profound shift in my understanding of leadership. I realized that true scaling isn't just about the company; it's about the founder's capacity to lead from a place of wholeness and resilience. I became curious about how to support sustainable leadership through embodied awareness, so I studied four somatic coaching modalities and founders started reaching out for coaching. As I worked with founders, I witnessed significant transformations - not just in how they led their teams but in the rest of their lives. As we released them from what was holding them back, founders gained clarity in their decision-making, inspired their teams, and became more vibrant in their lives. My time is now dedicated to work I love - coaching founders. I work with Series A to E founders – CEOs, CTOs, COOs – to help them scale themselves in advance of their company while thriving in the rest of life. I have coached over 40 founders in the last 12 months. The work focuses on how to: 1. Make faster, better decisions 2. Build winning teams 3. Gain productivity while reducing stress - and living a full life After years of building and scaling my company, growing User Acquisition for Instagram from 700M to 1.1B people, and launching virtual reality for Oculus, I am excited for the next phase in my life - empowering others to fulfill their potential.
