90 minutes, twice a month
Long enough that you run out of the prepared version of your life and start telling me the real one.
The growth was never the hard part. The person doing the growing was. That's who I coach.
Book a first session — free90 minutes · No pitch · I won't chase youThe one relationship in your week with no performance requirement.
"We're just figuring out the next phase."
You don't know if you're still the right person to run this, and there's nobody you can say that to.
"Pipeline's a bit light this quarter."
You've been hiding in the pipeline because it's the one place where effort still feels like progress.
"My co-founder and I are aligned."
You haven't had the real conversation in eight months and you're both pretending that's fine.
"Yeah, it's going well. Really well."
It is going well. That's what's frightening. You got the thing and you feel nothing.
Not your investors — they need the numbers. Not your team — they need the confidence. Not your co-founder — they need the energy. Not even your family — they need you providing, performing, fine.
Everyone in your life needs you to be doing well. Every relationship you have is load-bearing. So the honest version of things has nowhere to live — and it doesn't disappear. It compounds, quietly, while the metrics look great.
That's the job I do: I'm the one person in your week who doesn't need you to be doing well.
"Honestly? These calls are founder therapy."
What clients keep calling it — unpromptedEvery decision routes through you. The metrics are fine and you're not. The conversations that matter most are the ones you keep not having — with your co-founder, your team, yourself.
The co-founder one. The hire one. The "what do I actually want" one. Six months of held commitments, and the gap between the founder people see and the one you live with — closed.
There's no module one. Each session starts where you actually are, which is usually not where you said you'd be.
Long enough that you run out of the prepared version of your life and start telling me the real one.
Two exchanges a week. I reply within a day. Bounded on purpose — unlimited access makes you dependent, not better.
Not a goal. A specific, uncomfortable, dated commitment. I hold you to it, and I ask about it first thing next session.
The record speaks for itself — fifteen years, three companies past seven figures, a hundred-plus GTM engines, a book, the press. It's why you can trust the advice isn't theoretical. But none of it is why you'd hire me. You'd hire me because I'm still in the chair — running a real company this week, with the same unresolved things you have — and because I have my own coach. I wouldn't sell you something I don't buy.

"It's like having another co-founder with me on the journey. I have no doubt there was a 10x ROI."
Garret Roach — Co-Founder & CEO, LaunchLabs · consulting client"Mikey's strategic approach, coupled with his genuine care, made him an indispensable part of our journey."
Masha Krol — Founder, Glowstick.ai · consulting clientNinety minutes, on me. If it's useful, we talk about the six months. If it isn't, you've had a good conversation and I've had one too — and if I'm not your person, I'll point you to someone who is. I won't chase you.
If you're an active client of my agency, I won't coach you. Being on both sides of a commercial relationship isn't fair to either of us.
