Most people think success follows a straight path.
I learned the hard way that it doesn’t.
I spent 15 years in the corporate world—leading teams, traveling to over 120 countries, and making a name for myself at the top of my industry.
And then? I walked away.
Not because I failed. Not because I burned out. But because I knew there had to be a better way.
The problem? Nobody had a roadmap for what came next.
So I built my own.
How I Went From Corporate Exec to Entrepreneur, Creator & Investor
I left my corporate job without a clear plan.
I thought I’d focus on art. Then brand consulting. Then content.
Turns out, I didn’t need to choose. I built a portfolio career.
🔹 1B+ views, $1M in brand deals. I turned content into a business, securing high-value partnerships with top brands.
🔹 Grew How We Grow to 41,000+ subscribers in 5 months. Forbes called it a “must-subscribe.”
🔹 Built multiple income streams. From writing to coaching to investing—because I believe in wealth built on freedom, not burnout.
🔹 Helped hundreds of founders, creators & solopreneurs grow their brands. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just what actually works.
Now, I show people how to monetize their skills, build authority, and create freedom—without relying on a single paycheck.
If that sounds like something you want, keep reading.
Why I Built How We Grow
Because most advice on growing an audience and monetizing is outdated or just plain wrong.
People tell you:
❌ “Just post consistently and the money will come.” (It won’t.)
❌ “Give everything away for free, and people will pay eventually.” (No, they won’t.)
❌ “Pick one niche and never stray from it.” (Says who?)
I built How We Grow to cut through the noise and show you what actually works.
📌 If you’re tired of feeling stuck, this is where you get unstuck.
