You know those messy topics we all deal with but no one really talks about? The struggles and the tragedies and the WTF situations that eventually help us grow but really can take you down in the moment? The stories without a pretty Instagram filter. The real-life situations that SO many of us face yet we don’t hear about - or at least how the hell to deal with them. And more importantly, what you can TAKE from each of those situations.Because let’s be honest, life can be messed up. Like really messed up. Yes it can be cool and beautiful and amazing, but it can also tear you down until you’re wailing into your steering wheel after work or sobbing solo in your bathroom as your kids pound at the door.Been both of those places, actually! Have you?Life can make you feel lonely, confused, pissed off, lost, and a whole lot of other things that don’t feel that great. But behind all those difficult times are stories. Stories that we all have but ones that buried deep within us in this filtered culture we’re all living in.Well guys, I’m here to uncover those stories and bring them to light.So who am I?

It’ll be a toolkit for surviving what life throws at ya. It’ll be a place to escape when it feels like you ain’t got a clue what to do next. Oh and it’ll also be uncensored in many ways. Including my love for a good curse word. Mama’s, if you have kids in the car, you might want to listen to this later. We’ll kick things off with a 10 episode deep dive into starting and owning your business. For 15 years I ran a self funded multi-million dollar business with over 30 employees at any given time! We will be tacking topics in a useful and relatable way that I wish would have been accessible to me on my journey. We’ll talk about distinguishing a business from a hobby, what you need to actually do after you decide to go into business, hiring your first employee, getting into bed with your landlord, terminations and more! It’s going to be REALLY good and some might even say life changing, bold statement Yes but I know what I’m about to put out into the universe and it’s exactly what some of you need. Oh!
