Scott is a high-achieving founder and CEO. From the outside, things looked great. Growth, momentum, a team counting on him.

Behind the scenes, people pleasing was quietly running the show. He kept saying yes when he meant no, overextending himself, carrying emotional responsibility that was never actually his. Over time, it started to get in the way of scaling.

In the E3 program, the shift was simple but powerful. Scott learned where those tendencies came from and why they made sense. Knowing he was not alone changed everything! Being in a community of founders who got it, and feeling like someone genuinely had his back, gave him room to lead differently.

After that, his decisions got cleaner, and he set safer boundaries. The business could grow without him sacrificing himself to keep everyone comfortable.

The point of Scott's story is that if you are building big things and people pleasing is costing you energy, clarity, or scale, you are not the only one. Awareness creates options, and support changes the game.

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." - Albert Einstein

Whenever I think about emotional health, I find myself returning to this idea repeatedly. Genuine growth doesn't come from trying harder at the same level

The new year is the perfect time to rethink what wellness really looks like inside your company.

When employees feel emotionally supported and have the tools to handle stress with clarity, everything improves, including engagement, retention, creativity, and ROI.

A strong business begins with a strong team, and emotional health is the foundation that keeps performance sustainable. That’s why I created the Emotionally Healthy Company (EHC) program to help organizations strengthen their people, culture, and results through practical, science-based emotional wellness.

As you plan for 2026, consider adding emotional health to your company’s growth strategy. It’s one of the best investments you can make.

At the beginning of every year, a lot of us think about what we want to create, build, and improve. Maybe we want to improve our health or income, but what I have learned over the years is that real growth comes from what I choose to release.

So this year, I made a "Stop Doing" list.

I'm releasing the idea of being an entrepreneur-only, and rather embracing the idea of being a business owner by focusing on building out my team this year.

I'm releasing the systems that worked in the past and reinventing my systems for where I want my business to go in the future.

And most importantly, I'm releasing the focus on results in my personal health and focusing on the process, by doubling down on maximizing my Five Pillars of Emotional Health: psychology, relationships, nutrition, sleep, body movement.

Each decision to let go opens the door to many opportunities.

As we begin 2026, I invite you to reflect on your own “Stop Doing” list.

What can you release to make room for growth this year? Let me know in the comments. 👇

Reflection creates the clarity that strategy depends on.

As entrepreneurs, we spend so much time building, creating, and solving that it’s easy to forget how powerful it is to stop and simply think.

Here are three questions I use to close out the year with intention:
❓ What worked?
❓ What didn’t?
❓ What will you do differently next year?

This pause helps me plan from a place of awareness, and it brings a renewed energy for what’s ahead.

As you wrap up the year, take time to reflect before you reset.

How do you want to start 2026?

12/31/2025

As we count down the last days of the year, this is your reminder to make sure you and your team are ready for what’s ahead.

The pace of business isn't slowing down, but your people don't have to burn out to keep up.

Emotional health is what keeps teams creative, focused, and connected when everything around them is moving fast.

That’s exactly why the Emotionally Healthy Company (EHC) program exists.

It helps organizations build cultures where well-being and performance work together, and where leaders model calm under pressure, so teams thrive rather than just survive.

Before 2026 begins, take the time to invest in your team’s emotional foundation.

Before you rush into 2026… pause.

Here are 5 habits that help you lead with calm focus instead of chaos 👇

1️⃣ Audit your finances: See where your money reflected strategy… or stress.
2️⃣ Review your team wins: Gratitude fuels performance. Celebrate before you recalibrate.
3️⃣ Set 3 big goals: One financial, one operational, one personal. Focus beats frenzy.
4️⃣ Reflect on your leadership growth: The best metric? Who you became this year.
5️⃣ Simplify operations: Complexity kills clarity. Cut what does not serve your vision.

Remember, sustainable success begins with mindful leadership. Are you ready to lead into the new year with a new and refreshed mindset?

Year-end wellness budget left?

Instead of more gym memberships, invest your team’s emotional health.

Gallup’s latest data shows stress and worry at the workplace are still at record highs. Teams are exhausted, distracted, and often disconnected, and that impacts everything from productivity to culture.

The Emotional Healthy Company (EHC) program helps teams manage stress, communicate better, and lead with clarity. With expert coaching, ongoing support, and a clear roadmap, your team will build the emotional resilience needed to navigate change, collaborate more effectively, and grow stronger together.

If you care about your people as much as your profits, now’s the time.

A resilient team drives resilient business outcomes.

What is the common element that keeps someone from being unable to take action on a healthy lifestyle, execute on a business they’re passionate about, or find the right romantic partner? It’s that thing that makes you feel stuck, and your ambition and hard work doesn’t seem to make a difference. It subtly and quietly makes you feel unworthy, incapable, and powerless.

On the surface, I had a successful higher education and start to my career. After I graduated from Cornell University, I spent nearly 8 years working at Goldman Sachs where I had a successful career. By my late 20’s, I was able to pay off my undergraduate student loans, help my family out of credit card debt, and support causes I believed in. All while being a single man in New York. Sounds good right? Wrong.

Beneath the surface, I spent the majority of my life batting deeply held self-criticism. I was severely overweight and headed down the path of heart disease and diabetes. I avoided leaving my apartment on the weekends out of shame of being seen. And a relationship? Forget about it. I hated the man in the mirror.

Then I changed.
