I’ve actually had many female clients, but I primarily work with men for three reasons.

For one, men aren’t really doing this work. And women are doing the work in droves. Oprah is essentially the personal development channel now. Women have hundreds of opportunities to better themselves and there is an overwhelming amount of support for them. For the men, that’s not really the case. It’s not even “cool” for a lot of guys to talk about their feelings or do any kind of personal development work. So I’m really committed to making this work accessible and available for the men who want to do it.

Secondly, I’ve overcome a great deal of pain and trauma to get to where I’m at in life. And for me there’s nothing better than helping the guys who are one or two steps behind me to push through the stuff in a week that took me years to overcome. Most coaches and consultants tend to coach a version of their former self, and that’s the same for me.

Finally, it’s a totally untapped market. No one has stepped up and said, “I’m going to put my entire life’s focus into helping men.” Until now.

I don’t have all the answers and I’ll never claim to. I’m forever a student of life. And teachers regularly appear before me to teach me what I need to learn to step up to the next level.

There’s no certification program to do the work that I do. It comes from the past decade of leaning into my edge and constantly asking myself the question, “Which path will lead to the most growth?”

The second someone tells you that they have all the answers, run. Run fast. All the answers you need are within you right now. It just takes a little digging around to get to them. Or someone who can help you with the process.

I’ve done the whole academic thing if that’s what you’re asking. I was high school valedictorian, a National Merit Scholar, and President of my class in a top-30 MBA program. I taught a business fundamentals class (public speaking, corporate social responsibility, and ethics) for a year at The Ohio State University. And I got a perfect score of 800 on the math section of both my PSAT and SAT. Which is about as important as what I ate for breakfast this morning. Being good at school doesn’t make you good at life. It makes you good at school.

I’ve also done the whole corporate thing. After my MBA, I got hired into a Human Resources Leadership Development Program for a Fortune 50 healthcare firm that only accepted three of us for the whole company that year. I supported the leadership team responsible for the company’s largest restructuring ever and later led a 13-person global project team with members across four continents. But after a year and a half of unnecessary meetings and conference calls, I decided to take the road less traveled.

I graduated from Martha Beck’s life coach training program in March 2013 and went through their extensive certification process three months later. I studied with David Deida and Michaela Boehm at their three-day and five-day advanced sexual yoga intensives. And I’ve coached dozens of clients for hundreds of hours over the past several years.

But most importantly, I’ve been living life in full HD. After leaving Corporate America, I sold everything I own in February 2012 and I spent 31 months traveling all over the world living with, studying from, and throwing events for some of the smartest people in the world. In that time span, I’ve failed thousands of times. But with each failure comes a worthwhile lesson to be learned.

And if there’s one thing I’ve learned about life, it’s that your credentials don’t mean shit. Results do.

Hell no. That’s the path that I took, but that’s what made the most sense for where I was at in my life at that time. I love the principles of lifestyle design, but not all of us can just quit our job and start traveling the world. Some of us have marriages, families, aging parents, or businesses that we have commitments to.

Take the elements of lifestyle design that work for YOU. And discard the rest. It’s your life after all. Not mine, not Tim Ferriss’s, not Richard Branson’s… just yours.

Of course. Just head over to my coaching page and let’s see if we’ll be a good fit together. If not, I have a ton of resources, books, and other coaches that I’d be more than happy to refer you to.

For one, it wasn’t easy. It’s been a ton of work. And the only thing that keeps a man from not living the life that he wants is his belief on whether or not it’s possible. Trust me, I’ve seen some of the most miraculous transformations with men who had nothing going for them. They literally worked miracles in their lives by just deciding to do the work.

I promise you, it’s never too late to change. I’ve seen this both in my own life and in the lives of my friends and clients. It’s simply a choice.

I love to write. And I love to share my learnings, key takeaways, and struggles in real time, so those of you who are one or two steps behind me can see what’s possible.

There may come a time where I package my writing as some kind of product offering, but for now just enjoy the journey with me.

I totally get that. This work is not for the faint of heart. But when my mom passed away in the summer of 2011, I started to ask myself the tough questions.

•  What would I do if I had a month to live?
•  Have I ever really loved someone with all of my heart?
•  What would I do if money wasn’t an issue?
•  If I died tomorrow, would I feel like I gave it my best effort?
•  What if I stopped caring about the opinions of others?

And I’ve been living my life that way ever since. Even when I’m so afraid, that all I want to do is curl up in a little ball and hide. But with every little win, the world opens up to you a little more and gives you everything you ever wanted. I promise.

I do it because I Love You. Wake up you beautiful drop of God you.
