You're Killing It at Work. And It's Killing You.

Another 2 AM scroll through emails while your wife sleeps alone. Again.

Your kids got 20 minutes of the distracted you today. Your mind gave them zero.

The smallest thing sends you spiraling—a Slack notification, a delayed response, your kids not getting their schoolwork done. The anxiety spike hits before you can stop it.

You tell yourself it's temporary. Once you hit that next milestone, close that round, sell the company—THEN you'll have time. THEN you'll be present. THEN everything will magically fix itself.

But deep down, you know: Success won't save you from yourself.

Anxious Achiever to Calm Commander: 1:1 Coaching

Learn to regulate your nervous system on demand. Rewrite the "achievement = worth" equation that's been running you. Become the calm, present leader your family needs and your business demands.

Or Maybe You're Not Burned Out—You're Just Scattered?

Your mornings are dialed—breath, training, spiritual reps—but by 4 p.m. your week has been hijacked by "urgent." You shipped busyness, not outcomes.

You're too capable for your own calendar: ten "good ideas," three half-started plays, no clear scoreboard.

Money trickles, not flows. Shiny-object dopamine beats the long game. You rationalize it as "staying open."

You don't need to calm down—you need to focus.

Scattered Builder to Focused Finisher: Group Coaching

Pick fewer, bigger bets. Ship weekly proof. Build with allies who hold you accountable. Become the focused finisher who actually closes loops.

About Me

I spent 20 years jumping arenas thinking the NEXT one would finally be it.

PhD program → University director → Silicon Valley founder → Full-time coach.

At every stage, I was capable. Disciplined. But I was running equations that were destroying me: "Achievement = Worth." "No amount is ever enough."

Then I had a client—8 figures in net worth—who wanted to kill himself because he "only" made $10M instead of $50M. I felt annoyed at him. Why? Because he was reflecting what I couldn't see in myself.

That mirror changed everything.

I stopped running that equation. I trained my nervous system. I built RISE—a framework that integrates what most approaches leave fragmented: nervous system regulation, mental reappraisal, strategic capability, and relational support.

Today, I help two types of founders:

Anxious achievers who are burned out and can't calm down.

Scattered builders who are unfocused and can't finish.

How I Work

I use the RISE framework: Regulate, Interpret, Skill, Engage.

Every program touches all four—but weighted differently based on what you need most.

If you're burned out and dysregulated → You need Anxious Achiever to Calm Commander (focuses on Regulate + Interpret)

If you're scattered and unfocused → You need Scattered Builder to Focused Finisher (focuses on Skill + Engage)
