“I am writing to express my gratitude for the exceptional business coaching you have provided over the past six months. Your guidance has been instrumental in refining my business goals and re-organizing my priorities. Initially, I had set out to accomplish five key objectives, but with your support, we achieved eight pivotal changes that have significantly streamlined my business operations.

Your coaching has empowered me to step into my role as “CEO JOY” with confidence. You helped me realize the importance of delegation and the strengths within my team. As a result, my team has risen to new heights of support and success, which has greatly benefited my business.

The time, money, and dedication invested in your coaching have been incredibly rewarding. I look forward to continuing our work together and am excited about the future results we will achieve.

Thank you, Alex, for everything. If anyone would like to discuss my experience working with you, I am more than happy to share.”

Not my community. Just me, my couch, TV, and a bag of chips or cookies that I absolutely do not need. And there’s […]

You Went to One Retreat. What Did You Expect. Are men’s retreats worth it? Depends entirely on what you do when you get home.

You Went to One Retreat. What Did You Expect. Are men’s retreats worth it? Depends entirely on what you do when you get home. A few weeks ago I drove to meet a guy for lunch. He lives in another state, but he’s in California for the week. He reached out. He came on […]

I Started Making Sourdough and Almost Became The Bread Guy: We’ve forgotten how to just like things.

A few years ago, I started making sourdough bread. I still make it every few weeks. It’s really good. Really good. Honestly. People come over, eat it, make the noises people make when bread is really good, and say things like, “Oh my god.” “Are you kidding me?” “You made this?” And somewhere in those […]
