I started as an Army Infantry Officer, where I learned the one thing I still trust completely: clarity under pressure beats complexity.
Then executive search. I launched and sold search firms and placed hundreds of senior leaders. In 2008 I founded Career Attraction and spent 15+ years guiding more than 17,000 professionals through transitions with no playbook, most of them senior operators wondering whether the next rung was the answer. It rarely was.
Today the work lives at CreateNext Group and Creating What’s Next: essays, tools, and a community for accomplished, second-in-command types building the chapter after corporate. Life-first businesses. Sovereign income. Work no longer asking them to perform a version of themselves they outgrew.
Nearly everything here is free. The essays, the seven tools, the weekly letter. Three things carry a price:
The long-form version of the work, for the nightstand instead of the inbox. [BOOK TITLE + ONE-LINE DESCRIPTION]
