WHY I LEFT COACHING
People sometimes ask why I walked away from a multi 7 figure consulting business in the fitness industry.
I stopped having a vision for growing bigger in that space. I didn’t feel like my personal expansion, lied in the expansion of that business.” So I had to leave.
When I started, I was on FIRE for transformation. I had transformed my own life with that first business, and was thrilled with helping others get freedom too from it.
My favorite moments were on a coaching call or at our events when clients would breakthrough and change to a new version of themselves.
But eventually, I found myself teaching the same things, solving the same problems, having the same conversations... just with different faces.
I was successful by every external metric. But that little voice inside kept getting louder:
“Is this really what you’re here for?”
I ignored it for YEARS. Kept pushing. Kept growing. Kept scaling.
Until I couldn’t anymore.
Tony Robbins taught me “Success without fulfillment, is the ultimate failure.”
So I exited, sold my business to someone who ended up not fulfilling their payments to me either. Still, it was the right decision to walk away.
Terrifying? Absolutely. But not as terrifying as the thought of spending my life doing something just because I was good at it, not because it lit me up.
I’ll share more on what came next tmrw,
P.S. This is me in Ireland recently shooting at dangerous bandits…er I mean targets. 🤔
Where have I been for two years? Well...
Life has a way of pulling you away from social media when you’re busy living it.
Since I last posted, I’ve stood on a Santorini cliff exchanging vows with the love of my life next to a Mediterranean sunset.
I got out of active real estate investing and dove into day trading—turns out watching those charts can be as thrilling as it is terrifying, which has had it’s ups and downs! (punny, no?)
I landed roles in two films (still processing that one).
Been working with some incredible acting coaches, including one who happens to mentor Leo DiCaprio.
Added a member to our family —a teacup Pomeranian who was “my wife’s idea” but now is daddy’s girl too.
and...Currently producing a play for Austin, TX, “Death of a Salesman,” that opens in June. This is a lifelong dream come true for me—and I’ll be sharing more details soon :)
Drop me ONE update from your life—what should I know about your journey since I’ve been gone? 👇
Today I’ve been feeling really emotional. On the edge of crying but holding it back.
It’s because of this woman.
She has been my unfair advantage in life. Loving and believing in me before there was (to me) any evidence of things to believe in.
She’s a constant source of joy, of love for all people, and has been the absolute rock, the single person I know I can rely on no matter what.
The gratitude I feel at having a mother I have a relationship with still, who I get to see every week (because she moved across the country and bought a house 8 min away from my mine, who no matter what crazy dream I bring to her, always knows I can create it, is one of life’s great gifts.
I know not everyone can have their mom still in their life or maybe their Mom has passed on, but if you do, please call her and tell her you love her, not just today, but every single week.
The older I get (I’m 32), the more I treasure each moment with her, as I won’t have her forever.
Thank you Mom, for over and over again giving me life and love when I felt I had nowhere else to go, nowhere to turn, felt like nothing and no one.
Your belief in me is the creative force which made me a man today I’m proud of. I can never forget that.
I love you. Happy Mother’s Day!
I had so much fun speaking with my new friend @mrjaymorrison at @realestateliveevents in Miami this month. Looking forward to speaking with you again at the next one brother!
With the love of my life @elsamoreck , watching friends marry the love of their lives @conscious.bro and @thatsexchick .
PS: after posting this photo I hereby challenge anyone and everyone to a forehead size competition. You will lose.
Marginally excited to be launching a new show concept I’ve been developing for some time now.

Had to launch with one of my favorite people, failed life coach and comedian @awakenwithjp .

Enjoy and tag a couple friends who don’t hate laughter. 😂
