I help founders of expertise-driven businesses stop being the bottleneck and lead the company they built.
5.0(4 Reviews)For 20+ years I built and scaled companies, including a business coaching brand, with a portfolio that hit the Inc. 5000 four times before I exited in 2024.
Now I advise founders and CEOs who built their company on their own expertise and hit the wall every expert hits: the business runs on you, and you can't scale yourself.
I work with you on the shift from doing the work to leading the company. That means building the systems, structure, and decision-making that let the business grow without burning you out or selling your soul to do it.
I'm not a guru and I won't hand you someone else's playbook. I find what's actually stuck, fix the mechanism, and make sure you can run it without me. Four exits and plenty of scars to prove I've done it myself.
I also host The Business Owner's Journey podcast, where I break down how experts turn into leaders.
For founders and CEOs of expertise-driven businesses (coaching, consulting, agencies, professional services) who feel like the company can't grow without them in the middle of everything. Tell me where you're stuck, I'll tell you what I see, and you'll leave with at least one move you can make this week. If working together makes sense, I'll say so. If it doesn't, I'll say that too.
Bring the thing that's stuck. Growth stalled, team not delivering, pricing off, structure held together with duct tape, or your own role eating you alive. We find the actual constraint, not the symptom, and you leave with a clear next move. Built for founders and CEOs of expertise-driven businesses. Before we meet, send a quick snapshot of your business (what you do, team size, rough revenue), the specific problem, and what you've already tried.

“Nick is the real deal. He helps me see a decision from a full 360 degree perspective so I don’t have any blind spots. Our journey started when I was in a period of intense transition and he’s been a phenomenal sounding board every step of the way. He’s the calming voice in my head through every important move. Working with Nick has been a game changer. Highly recommend.”

“I always value my sessions with Nick - He creates space to step back, think differently and get underneath some of the things I cant see for myself, in my business. Always leave with more clarity, and focus. Thanks Nick!”

“Nick is an excellent coach. I had a great session with him and we got to the root of my problem, fast. I'll definitely be booking more sessions with him as an advisor”
