It’s a system.
For thirty years I’ve built the systems that turn assets into wealth — companies, portfolios, and property. Three books. Two companies. One rule: if it only works when the story cooperates, it doesn’t work.
Most deals, markets and hires are the wrong ones. Cutting them is the first gain.
Same plays, same rhythm. Every cycle teaches you something the last one missed.
New habits die without enforcement. This is where most companies quit.
Fix the engine that makes a company money — so growth stops depending on heroics and hope.
Build the organization that runs and compounds without the founder in every deal.
Turn earned cash into hard assets that appreciate on purpose, not by luck of the market.
If it only works when the story cooperates, it doesn’t work.
Thirty years across the table from founders who did everything right — followed the playbook, read the books, hired the coaches — and still felt stuck. I’ve watched good companies stall because the founder couldn’t stop being the operator. I’ve seen the best salesperson become the biggest liability.
I wrote three books about what I learned. I built RevHeat to fix revenue systems and Unseat.ai to help companies get found by AI. And I host Broken Playbook because someone needs to say the things founders are thinking but nobody’s saying out loud.
