Tell us about yourself

Through my own challenges founding and leading fast-growing companies, Organizational Physics was founded. I began a quest to find a simple, effective paradigm for other founders and CEOs to achieve market-leading, differentiated, and profitable positions for their companies. After years of work in this field, I discovered that organizational success could be distilled to some simple yet powerful principles clearly explained by the classic laws of physics – laws that were true 10,000 years ago and will be just as true 10,000 years from now. His unique approach combines a powerful theoretical framework with practical methods to guide organizational leaders toward greater success and work/life satisfaction.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

One of the hardest things about being a business owner is knowing when the business has outgrown an early stage and cherished employee, along with the courage to find a new role for that employee, either inside or outside of the company. Not everyone should ride the bus to the last stop.
