Executive Coaching for Seven Figure Creator-Founders

Unlock Your Next Level of Leadership and Impact

As a seven-figure creator or founder, you’ve built something extraordinary. You have a thriving audience, a business generating $1–5M in annual revenue, and a vision to scale your impact further. But scaling success requires scaling yourself. That’s where I come in.

Why Coaching?

The core of why coaching matters is simple: Companies grow at the rate their founders and leaders grow.

Your growth as a leader is the linchpin of your business’s continued success. Whether you’re navigating new challenges, hitting a plateau, or envisioning the next stage, coaching helps you unlock the clarity, confidence, and skills to lead your business — and yourself — to new heights.

The thing I love most about Barrett is that he has such a great ability to zoom way out to an incredibly strategic bird’s eye view of a company… and in the next moment zoom way in to the personal, emotional level where your motivations and your desires come into play.

My Approach

My coaching is tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities of seven-figure creators and founders. It’s grounded in years of experience leading teams as COO of ConvertKit and VP of Communications at a climate tech startup, combined with my deep understanding of the creator economy and entrepreneurial leadership.

Here’s how I work with clients:

  • Clarifying Your Vision: Together, we’ll define what success looks like for you and your business.
  • Expanding Leadership Capacity: We’ll build the skills and emotional resilience needed to lead effectively at scale.
  • Tackling Obstacles Head-On: From strategic decisions to personal growth, I’ll help you navigate challenges and find solutions.
  • Staying Aligned: I’ll keep you accountable to the intersection of your values, your soul, and your ambition.

Through thoughtful questions, operational insights, and somatic practices, I create a space for you to access your full potential and translate growth into measurable business impact.

My experience as an operator is backed up by over 500 hours of 1:1 coaching experience dating back to my first clients in 2012. I have formally trained with Presence-Based Coaching. I am ACC certified through the International Coaching Federation. And I am certified in The Highlands Ability Battery, a research-backed battery of tests to understand your natural abilities.

Who I Work With

I specialize in coaching seven-figure creators and founders who have:

  • Built large, loyal audiences across platforms like YouTube, social media, podcasts, or blogs.
  • Businesses earning $1–5M annually, often with small teams or as solo operators.
  • A mission to create both wealth and meaningful impact through your work.
  • A desire to learn, grow, and lead with purpose. You understand that your business’s growth depends on your own growth, and you’re ready to take the next step.

I also reserve a limited number of reduced-cost spots for early-stage founders, underrepresented creators, and non-profit leaders. If cost is a barrier, reach out to discuss options.

When Coaching is Most Valuable

Coaching with me is particularly impactful if you:

  • Feel your business’s growth is limited by your own capacity or skills.
  • Are navigating conflict within your team or co-founder dynamics.
  • Are considering a major transition, like growing a team, selling your business or pivoting your career.
  • Even if things are going well, coaching can accelerate your momentum, help you sustain success, and give you the tools for managing the psychology of entrepreneurship.
I just wrapped up a year of private coaching with the best coach I have ever worked with and it was the most transformative years I’ve experienced.
We worked through all of life’s big questions and had totally different results than what I went in seeking, which was exactly what I needed. I now have a lighter heart than I’ve felt in 15 years and so much calm and clarity.
