01Two worlds
Before I was seven, I knew a lot more was possible than what I saw around me. I found no examples, so I let it go. Sport and thirty years of wisdom practice brought it back. On the outside, I spent twenty years building global teams in tech. I thought they were two different worlds.
02One bottleneck
Seventeen years in, my teams lost their flow. I burned out and didn't know why. So I built a scorecard. Work ethic: strong. Vision and alignment: weak. Then it hit me. My team was a mirror. I was the bottleneck.
03One leap
That's when my two worlds met. The masters and the science pointed to the same patterns. Nobody had made them simple. At 46, with three kids and a mortgage, I walked away to build it. Today it's Exponential Accelerator.
