I’m an immigrant tech entrepreneur who started with nothing but hustle and a dream.
I’ve gone from flipping burgers and door-to-door sales to closing millions in sales, building and exiting a tech start-up for 7 figures before 30, and most recently co-founding a VC-backed therapeutic VR platform co-developed with Harvard.
Along the way, I’ve had my fair share of challenges, 70+ hour weeks, and many sleepless nights. I’ve tried and failed plenty of times and fully burned out more than once, figuring out what actually works. Today, I enjoy life by the beach in Mexico, write a newsletter, mentor founders, and run Guide IQ, the world’s first AI CMO for founder-led growth. I’m deeply passionate about helping others find their freedom without burning out.
Systems > Hustle
Why this site exists
This site exists to challenge hustle culture and replace it with systems that create leverage. Here I share insights, free resources, and a weekly newsletter to help founders build companies that scale without sacrificing their health, time, or freedom.
Systems > Hustle
My philosophy isn't about working harder or doing more. It's about building leverage through clear strategy, repeatable systems, and tools that compound over time. This is how business success doesn't come at the cost of your health, wellbeing and life.
Systems Compound
Hard work has a ceiling. Systems don't. When you build the right infrastructure, results grow while your hours don't.
AI Changes the Equation
Most founders are building like it's 2010. AI makes it possible to design businesses for freedom from day one, not after the exit.
Freedom is the Metric

Work with me
For a Small Number of Founders
I occasionally work directly with founders or companies who want help designing systems for growth, clarity, and scale. This is not agency work. It’s focused, strategic, and built around leverage, not labor. If it’s a fit, we’ll know quickly.
