I Stepped Out of Day-to-day at Dial800—and Launched a Side Business That Turned Misdialed Calls Into Millions.

It was called Lemonade, and it only happened because I wasn’t buried in operations. Most founders never get that chance because they’re too busy running everything.

What Good Is an Empire If You Can’t Take a Vacation?

You built your business to have freedom. But if you can’t step away—without stress, without fires—then what you have isn’t a business. It’s a very demanding job.

I work with founders who feel stuck in the weeds: 

✅ Running operations 

✅ Solving everyone’s problems 

✅ Burning out while trying to grow

Here’s the truth: If the business relies on you to function, it’s not scalable. It’s not sellable. And it’s not what you signed up for.

I help founders build companies that run without them—so they can grow, take real time off, or sell for more when the time is right.

If you want that kind of freedom, it doesn’t happen by working harder. It happens by building a smarter system. One that creates structure, accountability, and leadership—without bottlenecks.
