“Chief of Staff to rock stars and billionaires. Built a $750K/month business, lost it, rebuilt smarter. I talk about the real version.”
I started working in the music industry at 15. Spent a decade on tour buses handling operations for the Rolling Stones, KISS, Lady Gaga, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. When the road stopped, I moved into managing homes and lives for high-net-worth clients, Drake, Sandra Bullock, Richard Branson, Elon Musk.
That work turned into an Executive Assistant business for tech founders, an industry I knew nothing about. It scaled fast with zero foundation and collapsed, $750K a month down to $20K, and I lost my home along with it.
I rebuilt. Twice. Take It Easy Group is a Chief of Staff agency for musicians, athletes, and creators. WLDCRD is a talent management and business incubator. Both run on frameworks I built from watching a business implode in real time.
Almost 30 years in music and entertainment, on tour buses, in billionaires' houses, and in the wreckage of my own company. I talk about what actually breaks a business, not the version that makes it into a keynote, and about becoming an "accidental CEO" without anyone warning you first.
