In this video, I break down the 6 decisions that determine whether your business gives you freedom or traps you for years. You’ll learn how to choose the right game from the start, avoid common founder mistakes like picking the wrong model or co-founder, and build around the trifecta of peace, profit, and purpose.

We also cover how to create a distribution engine that actually drives growth, systemize your business so it can run without you, and hold a high standard as you scale so your business compounds instead of burning you out.
