Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #23 • August 23rd, 2026 Hi Reader, Most business owners spend years in the trenches, building, fixing, growing, and rarely stop to ask the bigger question: what does "next" actually look like for this business? That question is exactly what the Business Transitions Summit was built to answer, and I'm excited to share that I've been named to the Austin 2026 Advisory Board. What the...

Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #86 • August 15th, 2026 Hi Reader, You Knew in Week Three. You Always Do. I had a Learn & Dine event with ten business owners recently, part of a Birthing of Giants cohort I'm leading here in Texas. Everyone at the table already knew their answer. Nobody had said it out loud yet, until I did. I told the story about my Marketing Manager at woom USA. The one who looked perfect on...

Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #85 • August 14th, 2026 Hi Reader, My Birthing of Giants Texas Cohort is officially starting on October 15th. A full day with 10-12 business owners dedicated to scaling, growing their business, and getting you, the owner, capital ready by design and not by accident. In preparation for the cohort program (an 8-session, in-person program over two years), I've been hosting Texas...

Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #84 • August 4th, 2026 Hi Reader, In 2023 I stepped away from the business I built. What people didn't see was the two years before that, going through a divorce in 2021 while still running the business, still showing up, still pushing. People called me superhuman. I let myself believe that for a while, because it felt better than the truth: I was running on fumes and calling it...

Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #83 • August 3rd, 2026 Hi Reader, I have been reading one of Les Brown's books lately, and it has stayed with me. A man who was born in an abandoned building and given up for adoption, labeled by others early on in ways that could have defined him, and still became one of the most sought-after voices on achievement in the world. Not because the label was wrong. Because he refused...

Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #82 • July 26th, 2026 Hi Reader, In 2025, woom Global did $175.9 million in revenue, worldwide. A record year. I bootstrapped woom USA from scratch to over $20M per year within less than 6 years, then became CEO of the global business managing $100M per year. I didn't build all of that on my own, plenty of people across multiple countries built woom into what it is. But for a long...

Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #83 • July 25th, 2026 Hi Reader, There's a specific kind of tired that comes with running a $5M+ business. It's not the tired from working hard. It's the tired from carrying decisions alone, because the people around you either haven't built anything at this scale or don't have the time to really sit with your problem. That's the gap Giants at the Table exists to close. On August...

Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #81 • July 11th, 2026 Hi Reader, Eleven names before mine. I stood in Berlin's Rotes Rathaus on Monday watching Senator Franziska Giffey work down a line of people from around the world, shaking each hand, placing a certificate in each pair of hands. I kept thinking about a cafeteria line in Monroe, Louisiana, in 1994, where I used to just nod yes to questions I couldn't...

Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #80 • July 5th, 2026 Hi Reader, Everything can't be on fire. If it is, you have no way to choose what to save first. A client of mine, someone who runs a team and outperforms most people around him, told me last week: "I'm like a phone with a thousand apps open, all running at the same time." He wasn't behind on one thing. He was behind on everything, all at once. Deadlines....
