About

I've been laid off. Built businesses. Sold two. I was in the best financial time of my life until COVID erased everything I'd spent years building — in weeks. Borrowed to survive. Rebuilt anyway. Then I went profitable in one of the hardest businesses there is — trading — while weathering the kind of family and financial pressure that breaks most men. I wasn’t sure I was going to make it. It wasn’t effort or vision or talent that carried me through, it was incredible focus based on the philosophy: if you earn your own way, you'll always find a way. Earning your own way doesn't mean alone. Along my path, I've learned from great coaches. Tony Robbins taught me public speaking. Doug Hall taught me innovation. Gary Halbert taught me copywriting. Bill Phillips taught me to train. Mark Minervini taught me to trade. Looking back, there is literally nothing more powerful than having the right coach at the right time in your life. After my trading business stabilized and became profitable (after over 3.5 years of tireless work) I was too isolated. I re-entered the world to find AI bulldozing its way through my friend's careers. They were losing everything like I once did, but didn't know how to pivot. At first I was scared for them. Then I got angry. Now I'm doing something about it. I show men who are done getting replaced what they’re actually capable of building. I futurize them. I call it a Futurization — a custom, highly personal, 90 day vision built around who you are and who you want to become. Spend one hour with me. Then I tell you your future. I’m documenting everything I’m doing now in real-time in my series Grinding the Pivot. You'll learn the most by following along. https://midlifeedge.substack.com If you’re ready to see what’s actually possible for you in the next 90 days — DM me and let’s build your Futurization.
