How I Built a $1B Brand in My 20s

I break down the biggest lessons I learned building a billion-dollar brand in my 20s—what actually mattered, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently if I were starting again today. I share the mindset shifts, risks, and decisions that helped me grow faster as an entrepreneur so you can avoid common mistakes and move forward with clarity earlier in your journey. My #1 passion is building brands that reimagine wellness. We started as a bootstrapped digital fitness business with my wife Mari… reinvested everything until it became a global nutrition brand. Built Bloom from direct-to-consumer online sales to major retail shelves nationwide (Target, Walmart, Sams Club + more). Bloom is on track to be valued for $ Billions. Mission: Give people access to rooms they normally wouldn’t get into. Serial entrepreneur, operator at heart, obsessed with product, brand, and community. Born in New York → now building in Austin. Still learning. Still building. Not even close to being done.
