Growing up, my life was pretty normal: I came from a happy family, worked hard and excelled at school. I thought I had my whole life figured out (including by what age I’d get married!).
I’ve since learned that the Universe doesn’t work that way.
In search of more fulfillment and impact, I quit my corporate engineering job with no plan B and spent the next couple of years experimenting with different ideas that interested me.
I backpacked solo around South-East Asia (before it was trendy).
I became a certified personal trainer.
I launched a blog, and later a podcast (more on those later).
I even ended up appearing on an episode of South Park (no joke).
Looking back, this experimentation was one of the best things I ever did.
Despite being a first-generation entrepreneur, I learned some valuable lessons from my dad that I carry with me to this day, such as:
“If you don’t ask, you don’t get”.
That message continued to show up as I realized that no one’s going to make life awesome for me (or you!).
With that in mind, I embarked on a journey of personal discovery by defining what I wanted my life to look like. I started investing in myself, reading a ton of books, attending retreats & seminars, working with my own coaches, simplifying my environment, learning new strategies for goal-setting & productivity and creating personal rules & systems to achieve those goals.
I soon became passionate about sharing what I’d learned along the way. I created a blog and fell in love with the online space. I then launched a podcast interviewing experts from around the world which hit #1 in New & Noteworthy for both the Health and Education categories.
And during that solo backpacking adventure through South-East Asia that I mentioned earlier, I realized that all those experiments along the way had centered around the theme of helping people improve their lives. This led to my discovery of coaching.
I now help others Go First and perform at their best so that they can show up in a more meaningful, powerful way.
Some of my past clients have described working with me as the best decision they’ve ever made.
And now I’d love to help you say the same.
