High Achiever HQ

Are you successful on the outside but quietly battling feelings of burnout or unfulfillment? I’ve been there too. For years, I ticked all the boxes, climbed the ladder, and achieved what I thought would bring me happiness—only to feel empty, stuck, and disconnected from who I really was.

I help high-achieving professionals, just like you, who feel like they’re going through the motions but know deep down they’re meant for more. Through the R.I.S.E. Method™, I guide you on a journey to strip away the layers of societal pressure, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs that have kept you stuck, and help you step into the life you’re truly meant to live.

Here’s what you can expect when you work with me:
• Direction: I know what it’s like to feel lost despite outward success. Together, we’ll get clear on what you really want—whether that’s a new career, a passion project, or more meaningful relationships.

• Confidence: I was once terrified of making bold moves, of changing paths. I’ll help you break free from those fears to pursue what truly lights you up.

• Work-Life Balance: I learned the hard way that success doesn’t mean sacrificing your well-being. You’ll gain the tools to protect your energy, set boundaries, and finally create a life where you don’t have to choose between success and joy.

• Authentic Living: This journey isn’t just about fixing what’s on the surface. It’s about reconnecting with who you are at your core and learning how to live in a way that feels aligned and true.

I’m not here to tell you how to “fix” your life. I’m here to walk alongside you because I’ve been in your shoes, and I know how hard it can be to make those first, scary steps toward real change. With over 10 years of professional mentorship experience, I’ve seen firsthand the power of what’s possible when you let go of the things holding you back.

If you’re done with playing small and ready to live a life that excites you again, let’s connect. You don’t have to do this alone.

🎂 37 and somehow, it feels like the real beginning.

Last year on this exact day,
I was working at a $2B company I thought was my dream job.
I had a nice apartment overlooking the ocean in Hawaii.
Good friends.
Solid routines.
The kind of life that I felt settled into.

Never did I imagine that just twelve months later,
everything would be flipped upside down.
But that’s life.

When something new wants to be built,
the old foundation has to fall away.
And that process of demolition and rebuilding
is destabilizing.
It tests every part of you.

I don’t think I’ve reached a major rest stop yet,
but there have been milestones that keep me going.

I’ve been blessed to travel while working most of this year.
My mornings are slower now, sometimes I just sit with a hot cup of something,
look at the sky,
and feel grateful to simply be.

My mental health has completely transformed.
I had no idea how much stress and anxiety I was carrying before.

I’ve launched four business ventures built from heart,
projects I truly believe can help create a world
I’d be proud to raise a kid in.

And being a business leader has humbled me.
It’s taught me that nothing I have,
not my intellect, not my opportunities,
was ever mine alone.
They were gifts.
And I hold them that way now.

My partner and I separated along this journey.
Not every path is meant to be walked together.
But I’m at peace with that
and wish her the best on her path ahead as I honor my path forward.

I’m unexpectedly living as an expat in Southeast Asia now,
where new doors are opening,
including the chance to run my first of hopefully many nervous system reset retreats this December in Bali

And somehow, the distance from friends and family
has made our connection even deeper.
The time we do have together feels richer and more genuinely expressive than ever.

I’m not sharing any of this to brag.
I’m sharing because for a long time,
I was scared to share myself openly, good or bad.
Now I just feel comfortable being me,
however it lands.

This past year, I’ve learned that courage changes everything.
The courage to leave what isn’t aligned.
To not settle for “good enough.”
To believe in yourself and take actions that prove it.
To be willing to learn, fail, grow, and stay courageously transparent through it all.

So if you’ve been on the fence about taking a bet on yourself,
or putting your truth out into the world,
this is a friendly, supported nudge:
you don’t have to quit your job like me to be a changemaker.
But the world does need more of us
leading from the heart instead of the ego.
Creating for people, not just profit.

Today I turn 37.
I used to think life stopped being exciting after 35 lol
Turns out, it’s just beginning.

Thanks for being part of my life in the way that you are 🌏💫

I help purpose-driven professionals & aspiring founders release burnout, reprogram their minds, and create deeply fulfilling lives & soul-aligned businesses through coaching & retreats.

No alternative text description for this image

This month my biggest entrepreneurial lesson was to doubt myself more.

I know that sounds odd but let me explain.

I’m not saying to wallow in self doubt. To feel it fully, then choose what comes next.

I used to think “I’m not ready” meant something was wrong. Now I see the doubt arrives first, and the self belief is born because I walked anyway. 

If there was no doubt, what would self-belief even mean?

Self-doubt isn’t the enemy. It’s the doorway we need to continue to walkthrough that leads us to our next level of confidence so embrace it into the process.

Some of you watched me sobbing on the internet, not sure where I was headed amongst what felt like so many uncertain options. In that raw place, I felt my confidence return. People who understood found me. I found strength I didn’t know I had. From there, I launched a new retreat business.

We made sales in the first six weeks. I’m proud of that. It’s a simple 0 to 1, but it’s real signal. And it started with the doubt tunnel, then a conscious choice about the words, thoughts, and beliefs I’d allow in my mind.

When I practice that choice often enough, it becomes my identity. A self that wasnt created by accident or just a cumulation of my unconscious history. A sovereign choice I keep making.

So here’s my rhythm now: feel the doubt, name the next simple move, choose one belief that helps me move, move, collect the truth, adjust. Honestly… that’s the whole game. Keep walking and we don’t lose. 🌊

If you’re here too, what’s the next tiny step you can take today?

Education Technology Leader - GTM/Sales - Helping Ed Tech Companies reach more students & connect with district leaders nationwide

If you want to learn more about me, take a look at my recommendations – they come from former co workers, bosses & competitors in the Ed tech space 🤓

I’m Jacob (Chief DODO—the District Office Door Opener) who has spent 18+ years unlocking meaningful collaborations between EdTech innovators and school district leaders. 

Who I help:
I guide EdTech companies—new ventures or established names like Stride K12, aiEDU, Outlier (now Savvas), Gladeo, and more—to break through cold outreach fatigue and connect with decision-makers in a constructive, human-centered way.

What I solve:
Most vendors fall short because they lead with product pitches. I flip that approach—starting with empathy, preparation, and curiosity—to build trust and tailor solutions to district pressures and needs. It’s strategic outreach that becomes authentic partnership.

Why it matters:
I’ve personally delivered about $50M in sales across giants like McGraw Hill, C2 Education, Revolution Prep, Collegewise, Varsity Tutors, and Spark Education—earning a reputation as a top EdTech sales leader. 

Recent wins include:
🔹 National grant partnerships for aiEDU + Google to impact rural students across the US
🔹 Facilitating meetings with 80+ superintendents for Virtu.Academy
🔹 Building GTM strategies for Physics Wallah, TRUCE Software, and more (You can see them all in my profile)

FTC Takes Action Against Education Technology Provider for Failing to Secure Students’ Personal Data

The Federal Trade Commission will require education technology provider Illuminate Education, Inc. (Illuminate) to implement a data security program and delete unnecessary data to settle allegations that the company’s data security failures led to a major data breach, which allowed hackers to access the personal data of more than 10 million students.

In a complaint, the FTC alleged that Wisconsin-based Illuminate claimed to protect the privacy and security of the data it maintains but failed to deploy reasonable security measures to protect student data stored in cloud-based databases. These failures led to a major data breach.

“Illuminate pledged to secure and protect personal information about children and failed to do so,” said Christopher Mufarrige, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “Today’s action is an important reminder to companies that the FTC will hold them accountable if they fail to keep their privacy promises to consumers, particularly when it involves children’s medical diagnoses and other personal data.”
