My ideas have generated billions in revenue & helped millions of people.

I've been told that I'm an expert at ideation, innovation, and startup psychology.

During my recent two-year hiatus in the Caribbean, I wrote two books on innovation.

I am now back in California advising corporate executives on how to “think and act more entrepreneurial,” as an outsourced Entrepreneur in Residence. 

Additionally, I am building a slew of new micro-startups based on the collection of ideas I have had over the past twenty years. 

Previously, I built twenty-plus startups and taught tens of thousands of aspiring innovators from more than 150 countries how to create million-dollar ideas and build wealth based on self-created intellectual property.
