• Dichotomy Podcast was an interview series where I talked with leaders, entrepreneurs and ambitious people on the dichotomies they face in their business and life. A dichotomy means a division or contrast between two things that feel opposed. I seek to bring awareness to two sides of his guest's business, life or personality. Perhaps it’s their desire for building a high performance, high octane business contrasted against their desire for the freedom and lifestyle that comes with the ‘simple life’. Maybe it’s feeling torn between their commitments to their family and their commitment to their business.
• The dichotomy podcast explores how we can better master these dichotomies as entrepreneurs, so we can lead a more extraordinary and contented life.

• If you’re struggling to stand out in a noisy and competitive market, you’re not alone. Over the last 12 years, my team and I have helped more than 3,500 founders build a ‘Key Person of Influence’ brand in their industry. After working with thousands of companies, I’ve found that most founders face three bottlenecks to growth:
• 1. Visibility and differentiation - many founders feel like they're their industry’s ‘best-kept secret’ and struggle to get noticed.
• 2. Growth ceilings - growth leads to complexity, which can be overwhelming for many founders.
• 3. Founder reliance/time for money - if revenue is tied to your personal input or time, you’re limited in your ability to earn and grow.
• To overcome these bottlenecks, my business partner and I wrote the Key Person of Influence (Canadian Edition) book, which outlines a 5-step growth system for standing out, scaling up, and making a lasting impact.
