Founder. Operator. Investor. Educator. No matter the role, I’ve always believed in trusting your instincts and never outsourcing your judgment.
 
That mindset has led me down an unconventional path from poverty to investor. I grew up in Queens, hawking flowers on street corners and working at McDonald’s to help put food on the table. On a mission to transcend poverty as fast as possible, I dropped out of high school at 16 to work full-time and enroll in college early.
 
Over the next decade, I earned a law degree from Fordham at night and began a career as the youngest press secretary in NYC history, where I helped manage the global press response to 9/11.
 
I went on to be an executive for two NFL teams, found/invest in some of the most dynamic brands through RSE Ventures, and become a guest shark on ABC’s Shark Tank (seasons 10-11) as well as an executive fellow at Harvard Business School, where I co-teach "Moving Beyond Direct-to-Consumer." 
 
Always looking to meet great founders and the people who invest in them.

Support your homies.

👆 This is belief and practice that put at the top of my list for how to do things right. And its not just about business, but how to foster real, deep, meaningful relationships.

Danielle Farage is many things to me: a work friend, a colleague, a collaborator and a co-host on the Purple Acorn HR Morning Show.

Over the past couple of years we have formed a bond, a "frentorship" as she calls it. And it works both ways! I learn SO much from her as far as creativity, content creation, Gen-Z $hit so I can communicate with my daughter.

But most importantly, the ability for me to be open minded about things I do not know about. (see: "Gen-Z $hit above). 😆

I lovingly call her "Kid-Sis" as she is my go-to conference running buddy. So when she announced that she was kicking off her latest (and amazing) project, The Underrated Economy, I had to go support her.

And, I HIGHLY urge you to check it out and learn more.

👉 The job market is facing a massive disconnect: essential industries like industrials, construction, and the trades sectors that keep our economy runninghave millions of unfilled roles and are generating unprecedented wealth, yet struggle to attract young talent. 

Meanwhile, millions of college grads are drowning in debt, unemployed or underemployed, and uncertain about their future as AI rapidly erodes entry-level white-collar paths they were told to chase. 

With Gen Alpha dreaming of becoming YouTubers, the gap between real opportunity and perceived prestige has never been wider, leaving us to question what happens next.

The future is now. Stay connected to it our become extinct!

Thank you Danielle for being my gateway to the present & future and being an incredible friend.
