1️⃣ Helping turn Founder Businesses into Sellable/Freedom Businesses - from "I'm busy in the business" to "I own this brilliant asset", with the option to keep or sell 2️⃣ Investor & Mentor

Established founders get two paths pitched: empire-scale or financial compromise.
I believed that too. 

Former Chartered Accountant, corporate exec across three continents - I knew how to build successful businesses the conventional way. 
But then life changed everything.

Widowed single dad. Two kids who needed their dad around - not someday, but now.

That experience made something crystal clear: life is finite, and I'm not deferring it. 

I'm planning to live to 120 - not even halfway yet - which means I'm not spending the next 40 years grinding toward a retirement I'd barely get to enjoy.

The conventional path wasn't an option.
So I redesigned everything.

21 years later: ultra-marathons, music-making, campervan adventures, family dinners. 
Plus a business that actually works.
Because I've built a Financial Moat (see my posts for more on this).

Over those 21 years, I've worked with 200+ businesses - proving this isn't just possible for me, it's possible for any established founder willing to design differently.

Now I work with founders (past start-up, not interested in traditional scale-up) as advisor and investor - helping them build what I call Multipliable businesses: serious financial strength and flexibility, without all the sacrifices that scale-up demands.

I write about the reality of business ownership - and what's possible when you design differently from the start.
