Six years ago, Renée and I were living in San Francisco. I had just closed a round of funding for Clarity.fm while Renée had just co-founded a new marketing agency of her own. Things were crazy. But they were about to get crazier ;-) Turns out Renée was pregnant with our first son, Max… and it took a whole 3-months after Max was born for Noah to sneak into the picture. Add it all up and our two boys are

You can have the best product in the world. The best plan in the world. And the best team in the world. But if *this* entrepreneurial beast rears its head in your life and business -- you’ll still risk having the entire thing burn to the ground with little to no warning. We’re talking about entrepreneurial burnout and overwhelm.

At 8 years old, I got diagnosed with ADHD. I felt broken. Burdened by a “brain’ that would surely screw me out of any type of meaningful contribution in the world. Every day was a crapshoot. Without knowing how I’d “show up” on any given day, setting goals (and pursuing them) felt like a fool’s game -- and when I’d inevitably fail, it only supported my belief that I was messed up beyond repair. Over the next decade, I spiraled

When I was 28 I came home to find my fiance crying in the kitchen holding her engagement ring letting me know it was over. The truth is... I was a horrible partner. I unapologetically worked 100 hours a week using the justification that I was doing it all for her and our life ahead of us. It was complete *bullshit*.

Want to learn how I got invited to spend a week with Richard Branson? ... or how I ended up meeting Mark Cuban, who eventually invested in my last company? It all started back in 2004. After 2 failed companies I decided to give it another shot but this time it would be different... I decided to READ!?! This was the list I started with. What you won’t find on that book list is THE book that changed my life.

At 17, after I got out of jail and rehab (long story), I had to rebuild my group of friends. It was tough. I had to change high-school. Keep my distance from past influences. Build new relationships. At times I felt lonely but for me it truly was a matter of life & death.

Are your beliefs (or mental “scripts”) holding you back? If you buy into any of the following... It takes money to make money Money is the root of all evil You have to work (too) hard to get wealthy ... then I can almost promise you it’s holding you back.

Are you struggling to achieve work/life balance? So was I... ... actually, I sucked at it. I was that guy that would show up to parties and family functions strapped to his laptop - don’t judge :).
