 From Scaling Fast to Slowing Down — On Purpose

We built things fast in the early days.
I joined Compaq when it was still a startup. Fifteen years later, we were Fortune 20.

Those years were full tilt — executive roles, national initiatives, systems built from scratch, a $150M P&L, and teams that made the impossible happen. I didn’t just survive in corporate. I helped build it.

After 15 years, I left the corner office and built a solo advisory practice from scratch — replacing my salary within nine months.

For the next two decades, I quietly advised more than 100 business owners — helping them grow, scale, and sometimes exit — all without a public brand, all by referral.

It was intentional. I wanted simplicity, impact, and privacy.

Until now.

At 51, a one-week-old newborn was placed in my arms — and everything changed.

I stepped away from location-bound consulting.
I simplified. I prioritized presence.

Slower mornings replaced early flights. Long walks replaced boardroom schedules.
I kept my favorite clients, focused on high-impact work, and surrounded myself with people I genuinely respected.

In this season, success looks different.

It’s not about how much I can hold — it’s about how precisely I choose.

I work about 40 hours a month now, with roughly half of that spent in delivery — the high-impact conversations and creation I actually love.
Everything else runs simply, intentionally, and quietly in the background.

That’s the rhythm now: calm structure, clear focus, and spacious time to live the life I built all this for.

For me, that’s what The 20-Hour CEO™ really means — not working less for the sake of it, but building the clarity and systems that make it possible.

You can lead without carrying it all.
You can work with clarity, not chaos.
You can design a second half that fits who you’ve become — not the version you built for someone else.

This isn’t reinvention.
It’s refinement.
It’s trusting that the experience you’ve earned is more than enough — and finally enjoying the hell out of it.

Ciao for now,
