Description

I've been building things my whole life. Companies, communities, and a family that had a front row seat to what it looks like to take an idea and move on it.

Born into a South Philadelphia family with no entrepreneurial instincts, I found myself building a company and having it acquired. I started fresh. Built again... and again. Along the way I became a founder, a business partner, and an advisor. I've found myself in proximity to — and sometimes advising — millionaires and billionaires. I've even traveled the world helping people connect purpose and meaning to the work they do.

The common thread? I gather people around meaningful ideas. That always felt like the most natural part to me.

And I'm still not done asking why some people seem to have real clarity on what they're doing and why others don't. I'm obsessed with understanding what that difference produces in their work, their lives, and their legacy.

Clarity Compressed is where I chase that question. Short, honest episodes on leadership, entrepreneurship, culture, and the cost of building something that matters.

I also host the daily Automotive State of the Union (ASOTU) Podcast
