We help you avoid needless failure...

I say "we" because it's really not about me. I'm a conduit to hundreds of resources. For those who know me, I'm a champion for all entrepreneurs. Folks from around the ecosystem send entrepreneurs to me to help get unstuck and I happily take initial meetings that usually end with "holy crap, now I know exactly what I can do and will totally do that!"

A few notables: started at 10, won, lost and sold a few businesses (about 15 over 40 years). Helped raise tens of millions for mine and other ventures. Felt compelled to reach out to a huge benevolent corporation to start a crowd-funding, microloan platform that has now helped 150+ entrepreneurs in four languages across 10 countries start something meaningful to create equity for themselves and their families. I serve as an Entrepreneur In Residence, am a certified coach with 500 Global and Growth^X, have mentored about 1500 businesses, pitch coached hundreds, and sit on a few boards where entrepreneurs and marginalized individuals are supported. These days, much of my time is spent training mentors through the Pocket Mentor app that helps entrepreneurs know the fundamentals and serves as a framework for mentors who work with them.

This Fuse42 thing is really about you, the leader, the entrepreneur. I see great resources available and would encourage you to get involved with most. The problem is they have a specific point-A to point-B they are hoping you will achieve. As awesome has that has proven over the years, who's working with you around the big picture, the long game, the outcomes you want and keeping the isolated lessons part of the grand plan? We want to facilitate a space where the big picture is key and the community is supportive.

This is a peer-to-peer group, similar to Entrepreneur Organization but for those not there, not right, or not interested.

My hope is, together, we can work to make you the entrepreneur you want to be. Successful, competent, well balanced, and changing the world for good.
