Senior Consultant (Captain)

As a Former Army Captain I'm passionate about helping individuals and teams unlock their full potential. 

Having worked in the Military, Manufacturing, and Financial Services industries I have continued to search for what truly makes organizations successful. From my experience this goal is enabled by organized and useable data. 

Proper use of data assets does more that just allows you to present and inform at all levels of the organization. It allows you to:

- Tell a story
- Take strategic action
- Focus on wins while mitigating losses 

Most organizations face an enormous problem when it comes to organizing, structuring, and using their data in a meaningful way. 

Nexla is primed to solve this problem by streamlining data process to quickly transform raw data into actionable insights. We do this by automating data workflows to enhance responsiveness to business needs. 

This not only speeds up decision-making, but allows for more frequent iterations of data products. 

If you are finding yourself in situations where you have mass amounts of data, but cannot use it to its fullest potential it might be time to reach out for some help.

You can get in contact with us at nexla.com (link in my profile), or send me a message and I'll be in touch.

Lets find some time to talk today!

Not every small company but Kyle Ewing, MBA is right with many single proprietorships who end up failing.

The owner believes that as they did everything before, they must do it now.  

Susan or Paul can’t do the invoice, they made a mistake before on sub-section 3.

Jackie or Ray can’t make the widgets, because they don’t know the such-and-such that ruined the batch of widgets two years ago.

So then the owner gets burned out or makes too many mistakes, and it’s too late.

Most founders do not fail because their business is weak. They fail because it succeeds and quietly breaks them. I wrote this after living through a trap I see far too often: becoming the hero your company depends on.

This piece is about the shift that changed everything for me. I stopped asking how I could do more and started asking how the business could run without me. This is not about doing less. It is about designing better.

Question for you: Where are you still the bottleneck in your business, and what would change if that decision did not require you?

The Trap I want you to picture success. Not the Instagram version, but the real one. Revenue is up, customers are happy, and your calendar is full of

Stop Being the Hero: Why Founder-Led Businesses Break as They Scale

I haven’t posted much in the last few weeks, or months for that matter.



Nothing wrong, nothing going on, just really the issue was…nothing.

I wasn’t interested in posting about Bluetooth or IT, none of it, and I wanted to explore some new ideas for content.

Because of this I’m going to end my Fun Size Audio newsletter and focus on some IT and off-hour topics that I feel something about.

Thanks to those who subscribed and when I have something, instead of nothing, I will be sure to share it with you.

African Dwarf Weeping Blue Cedar, to be precise.

"One of the most exciting scenarios in the classic car community is a 'Barn Find' - a car that has been tucked away for many years. They appear from time to time all around the world. On farms, in Chateaus and in lock-up garages. One such discovery is the green 1935 Aston Martin MkII 'saloon'."

It can be easy in IT to get stuck in one way of doing things and be unwilling to try a new way, a new path, a new trick, but as Ray Dalio says, you just need one way that works.

I tried this today, I used a method I had not tried before, to solve a problem I’ve encountered a lot, and although it didn’t quite work as I liked, I was glad to find another way that may work in the future to get from A to B.

You only need to find one that works. #principleoftheday

Is it bad to say that the 962 is my favorite racing Porsche?

Sorry 935 and 917, no hard feelings.

Porsche has partnered with acclaimed Singaporean artist Priscilla Tey to create a new mural artwork titled 'Spirit of Legends', celebrating the Lunar New Year and Singapore Art Week 2026. The collaboration marks the next cultural commission for Porsche, displayed at its recently-launched Porsche at Jewel retail store at Jewel Changi Airport.

Following years of art-themed activations as part of Singapore Art Week and in collaboration with globally-renowned artists, Tey’s new work seamlessly marries her whimsical visual language in a piece that, while also marking Porsche’s 75th year in Motorsport in 2026 after the iconic German sports car brand took home its first 24 Hours of Le Mans class victory in 1951, naturally finds resonance with the Lunar Year of the Horse.

“The horse not only reflects the graceful performance and agility of our sports cars, it also marks the centre of the iconic Porsche crest – a tribute to the city of Stuttgart, our spiritual home, whose name was once derived from a small ducal stud farm, ‘Stuotgarten’. Priscilla’s work beautifully embodies this symbiosis of performance and heritage, just in time for the Lunar New Year of the Horse coinciding with the 75th anniversary of Porsche Motorsport,” said Yannick Ott, Director Marketing Porsche Asia Pacific Pte Ltd.
