At 19, I left home and moved to another country with no money, no safety net, and no plan - just the belief that I was meant for more.

Since then, I’ve walked through fire more than once: divorces, parenting alone, financial struggles, personal losses, and making bold moves of leaving a successful corporate career, to rebuild my life totally from scratch…

Each chapter of this journey was not easy and sometimes terrifying, yet it became important stepping stones of who I am today.

It is what allows me to do what I do best - 
help leaders and organizations evolve through change with clarity, courage, and connection.

⭐️ Who I Am

I help organizations bridge human intelligence and artificial intelligence through agentic voice technologies, leadership enablement, and transformation strategy.

My mission: make AI adoption feel human, effortless, and profitable.

I’m CEO of APEK.ai, leading teams that build secure Agentic AI & Voice Solutions for Enterprise - helping organizations modernize operations and humanize their communication through intelligent automation.

With over 20 years in enterprise transformation, leadership strategy, and reinvention, I blend AI innovation with human insight to help people and businesses grow from the inside out.


⁉️Who I Help

	•	Enterprises ready to evolve beyond legacy systems and embrace secure, human-centric AI.
	•	Executives and founders navigating reinvention, burnout, or uncertainty about their next chapter.
	•	Leaders in transition who look successful on paper but quietly ask, “What’s next for me?”

When People Come to Me (and my team)

They come when success feels heavy, change feels impossible, or they’ve outgrown the version of themselves they used to be.
They come when transformation stops being a concept - and becomes personal.

💡 My Belief

True reinvention happens when technology and humanity evolve together.

That’s why my mission is to help people and organizations:
	•	Adopt AI intelligently.
	•	Reinvent fearlessly.
	•	Lead with voice, not noise.

One of the hardest lessons adulthood teaches you is this:

Not everything in your life deserves an audience.

👉 Privacy is power.
👉 Not secrecy.
👉 Not isolation.

Just the awareness that some things thrive when they’re protected, not publicized.

Here are a few things wise people keep quiet:

1️⃣ Your exact income or savings
👉 Not everyone needs access to your numbers

2️⃣ Your next big move
👉 Work in silence. Let results introduce you.

3️⃣ Your family issues
👉 Healing happens in safe spaces, not public conversations.

4️⃣ Your insecurities
👉 Share them with people who help you grow, not those who weaponize them.

5️⃣ Your money struggles
👉 Many will judge before they understand. Protect your peace while you rebuild.

6️⃣ Others’ secrets
👉 If someone trusted you, honor that trust - it says more about you than them.

The older I get, the more I see that maturity isn’t about being open with everything…
It’s about being intentional.

Your life elevates the moment you stop oversharing and start curating who gets access to you.

What’s one thing you’ve learned to keep private?

Turning people into bestselling authors & million-dollar experts. 💫 Bestselling Author, Coach, Community Builder, Speaker, Course Creator, Business Consultant

What I’ve learned from helping 100+ experts become bestselling authors and million-dollar thought leaders:

Being brilliant at what you do isn't enough—visibility and positioning are what open doors.

I’ve spent the last decade behind the scenes helping executives, entrepreneurs, and industry veterans package their expertise into books, programs, and platforms that build influence and income.

I’ve written 19 books (13 traditionally published), co-founded a thriving authority-building company, and coached experts from boardrooms to TEDx stages.

Now, I help leaders turn their hard-won experience into businesses of impact and brands of influence.

1️⃣ Building authority based on your earned expertise
Helping you become the go-to name in their niche: Write the book that positions you as the category leader.

2️⃣ Turn your intellectual property into scalable programs and digital products
Helping you develop a visibility engine to grow leads, opportunities, and demand: Create programming that helps your ideal clients implement your ideas.

3️⃣ From quiet expert to industry icon
Helping you become known, sought-after, and booked out: Build an offer ladder that monetizes your authority at every stage.

4️⃣ Create standout messaging that magnetizes your ideal clients.
Helping you use AI and systems to scale your influence.

Through books, courses, and high-touch consulting, I’ve helped clients earn millions while making an impact with their message.

You’ve already earned the experience.
Let’s turn it into opportunity-producing authority.

I used to write posts that discouraged comments

[Welcome to Friday Failures]

It required people to admit things that made them feel bad.
 
Things like:  

I feel lost. 
I hate my job.
No one knows who I am.  
My business isn’t going anywhere.
 
And not shockingly, no one engaged.
 
Here’s the failure ⬇️  
I was asking people to signal their low point ... publicly.  

The things we tell our friends.
Not the things we say professionally.
 
We are an aspirational society.  

People want to raise their hand for what they desire
(not confess what they’re ashamed of.)
 
The shift?  

I stopped asking,  “Does no one know who you are?”
 
And started asking,  “Would you like to build your authority?"
 
Same teaching moments, but with an invitation for conversation.

Monetize Your Expertise Through Books, Programs & Speaking 💫 19x Bestselling author (3x Simon & Schuster & Self-Published). 150+ client books delivered, thought leadership and business strategist.

Starting over with $0 revenue is scary.  

Especially after a successful career.
 
I’ve been there.  

Pivoting with a bold vision.
Hoping it all works out.
Excited, yet scared.

The first time I rebuilt:

I priced too low.
Chased the wrong leads. 
And listened to the wrong gurus.
 
Here’s what actually changed everything:
 
1. I created one high-value offer. 
That solved a painful problem for a specific audience.
 
2. I priced for transformation, not insecurity.  
 
3. I built authority daily. Momentum compounds faster than perfection.
 
Starting over with clarity can scale quickly.
Listen to what the market wants from you.
Take action, and don't look back.

P.S. I'm launching a 10-week accelerator with Chris Laping in January to help you design, define, and declare your next chapter.

DM for more information.

In 2015, I signed a book deal with Simon & Schuster

Here's my biggest takeaways:

1. You have <2% chance of getting a deal.

2. Publishers publish. It's your job to market it.

3. Selling in bulk is the way to go.

4. Tell your audience what to do after they read your book.

5. Without an audience, there is no book deal.

Weekly, I have clients who believe they are the exception to these rules. 

They are not.

And here’s the part no one tells you…
 
Traditional publishing isn’t the only way.
 
If your goal is to grow your business, build authority, or create demand for your offers, waiting 12–24 months can be an expensive delay.

It took them 18 months to publish my book. 
If this were a lead gen for my business, I'd be broke.
 
The real question isn’t: How do I get a book deal?  

It’s: Which publishing path makes the most sense?
