Why SUCCESS readers care
Inc. and SUCCESS Magazine have named him a leading expert on mindset and business strategy (per his site). The Powerful Living Experience has been named by Inc. as a top-3 must-attend personal development event for entrepreneurs. He and his wife Carol built the organization from $0 to $25M over seven years while serving tens of thousands via events, digital courses, coaching, and certification programs (official bio figures).
Career path
After graduating from Columbia University at 21, he founded an e-commerce company for college students; later started the online division of Ducati’s Italian motorcycle business (site: first motorcycle sold on the Internet; ~$70MM in under two years); then built a major financial-services lead-generation network after raising $5MM. Despite professional success, addiction and alcoholism led him into a 12-step program at 33 (2009). Recovery plus spiritual study redirected him into personal-evolution teaching and company building.
