About

With 29 years in business, I’ve built 15 companies, exited 5, and gone bankrupt twice. I’ve raised millions in capital. Built large sales pipelines. Written "How You Speak to Customers." Building a platform that connect people with reason. And helped founders move from stuck to traction — fast. Many times. 48 positive reviews. I’m not a motivational coach. I’m a commercial sparring partner. I work with B2B founders and CEOs when: - Revenue feels heavier than it should. - Sales lack sharpness. - Growth is messy. - Capital feels further away than it should. - Or something is simply “off.” Across my current clients: * 0 → 6k in a month. * 6k → 40k in four months. * 20k → 60k in six months. * Loss turned into profit. * $50k raise turned into $3.3M closed. * $500k raise turned into $7.5M in progress. * One now raising both a VC and a PE fund. Different sectors. Same pattern. When commercial direction tightens, revenue moves.When positioning sharpens, capital becomes believable. My role? - Call the BS. - Sharpen the lever. - Install cadence. - Stay in the arena with you. If you want agreement, I’m not your guy. If you want movement, DM me “Raw.”

Legacy Board Member

  • I’m grateful to be on the Legacy Board of @TRIIBE, a foundation funding the next generation of nonprofit founders.
  • TRIIBE exists to help next-gen nonprofit founders continue their work. Youth-led organizations receive a fraction of philanthropic funding, and most early-stage nonprofits lose momentum before they ever reach scale. ​
  • The biggest drop-off isn’t inspiration. It's structure.
  • When founders turn 18 and enter college, time disappears, funding dries up, and the support systems that helped them grow no longer exist. That transition quietly ends thousands of high-potential organizations. ​
  • TRIIBE is the missing pipeline for social impact.
  • We operate a fellowship built for nonprofit founders, a clear path through college with the three things founders actually need: funding, mentorship, and community. ​
  • The cohorts are small by design because we invest deeply. Each TRIIBE branch has cohorts of five nonprofit founders with real operating experience, each already running their foundation for an average of six years. Several have already been recognized as Forbes 30 Under 30, George Bush Points of Light Fellows, and L’Oréal Women of Worth.
  • TRIIBE is hosting its Next-Gen Changemakers Summit in New York City on February 28th, partnering with @Do The Thing to bring together builders, mentors, and supporters committed to advancing social impact! I encourage you to attend!

Raw speed networking | rsn

CEO & Cofounder

Dec 2025Present · 4 mos · London Area, United Kingdom · Remote

  • This is for people who lead, decide, and carry the weight.
  • Raw Speed Networking is a high-signal conversation format for leaders, founders, and company owners who value clarity over noise and substance over performance.
  • In short:
  • 8-minute, focused one-to-one conversations
  • Leaders, founders, and company owners only
  • No pitching. No selling. No posturing.
  • The purpose is simple: connect capable people who respect each other’s time.
  • Raw Speed Networking creates space for:
  • Direct conversation
  • Clear thinking
  • Fast mutual understanding
  • Ten minutes is enough to know whether a conversation is worth continuing.
  • This is not networking as performance.
  • It’s connection as it should be.
  • If you lead, build, or own a company and want conversations that respect your time and intelligence, Raw Speed Networking is for you.
  • Join a session. You’ll feel the difference immediately.

  • How You Speak to Customers is not just another sales book. It’s the result of over 28 years of fieldwork, mentorship, advisory, and raw commercial execution across five continents — distilled into 100 pages of no-fluff, high-impact tactical communication.
  • In my work as a commercial advisor, I’ve coached solo founders and all the way to a 600-person sales team alike. Across them all, one truth kept surfacing:
  • Most people don’t know how to speak.
  • They know how to talk.
  • They know how to pitch.
  • But they don’t know how to speak in a way that earns attention, builds trust, and moves people to action.
  • So I wrote this book to fix that — fast.
  • What the book delivers:
  • 15 RAW LAWS that strip away fluff and make communication land
  • How to hook attention in under 7 seconds
  • How to listen better than your competitors pitch
  • How to earn trust in micro-moments
  • How to craft questions that transform conversations
  • How to find your pitch in the wild (not in your head)
  • How to speak so your message survives the room — and spreads
  • The structure is simple:
  • UNLEARN – Break your bad habits and relearn how humans actually listen and decide.
  • REWIRE – Implement tested frameworks like the RAW Talk Frame, outcome-first selling, and buyer decoding.
  • EXECUTE RAW – Master silence, presence, storytelling, and real-time testing — to speak with gravity and close more with less.
  • Every chapter contains raw insights, real-life stories, practical tools, and exercises built for one thing:
  • Making you unforgettable in every conversation that matters.
  • This book is now used by founders, advisors, salespeople, and operators who don’t just want to sound better — they want to be heard, trusted, and bought into.
  • It’s also the foundation for my training sessions, coaching programs, and the upcoming Raw Truth webinar series.
  • 👉 Learn more and and buy a signed copy: https://www.mister-raw.com/prebook-launch/
  • If you’ve ever struggled to make your words land — this book was written for you.
