Business Decoded: Lessons from the Fight of my Life
June 26th will forever be an enormous annual milestone for me. I am so excited to introduce you to WHY this series is so important to me, and why it will be immensely valuable to you.
Stop Running Your Business in Survival Mode When You Need to Scale Like a COO
Are You Trapped by Your Own Success?
You started your business envisioning freedom: time, financial, & creative. Instead, you're drowning in daily chaos, working harder than ever with little to show for it.
Rather than serving you, your business controls you.
You feel trapped; keep pushing until you burn out, or pause to fix the mess while worrying that everything is going to collapse.
What you really need is freedom in a framework: structure that creates space for growth, not constraints that hold you back.
What You'll Get From The Business Decoded Series
Each course includes video guides, worksheets, must-know tips, case studies & more importantly:
- Structures that eliminate chaos without stifling creativity
- Systems that work for you, not against you
- Frameworks that scale with your growth, not despite it
- Templates that save time while maintaining quality
- Strategies that create sustainable success, not just quick wins
The result: You get your life back while your business thrives; exactly the freedom you set out to create in the first place.

How I Know What Works (& What Doesn't)
Fifteen years ago, I was exactly where you are: overwhelmed, stuck, & uncertain about how to scale my business successfully. I learned the hard way (through many trials & errors) that passion & hustle alone aren’t enough. You need proven systems that create freedom in a framework.
Each course in The Business Decoded Series gives you freedom in a framework: the structure that creates space for your creativity, growth, & life outside of your business.
My Background
- 15+ years as a fractional COO & strategic partner, helping founders scale from 6 to 7+ figures
- Former life in institutional finance (9+ years at Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Merrill Lynch) as a trading compliance officer: managing risk, rules, processes & complex challenges, where I learned that the right structure creates freedom, not limitations
- 12+ years as adjunct professor at NYU, teaching leadership, marketing, finance, people ops, business development, consulting strategies, & a few more
-
Developed frameworks now used by companies in many sectors including aerospace, consumer brands, professional services (insurance, finance, marketing), wellness, & even artisan baking
