Help, I Can’t Stop Bootstrapping

I am the ultimate bootstrapper.

I bootstrapped, scaled and sold a $25 million tech company. Then I wrote a book about it called Scaling With Soul: How I Built and Sold a $25 Million Tech Company Without Being an A**hole. I had to bootstrap that too, because no agents or publishers would take me on. Then, I spent the past year speaking about bootstrapping to people across the U.S and beyond, at both in-person and virtual events.

But people kept asking for more.

So now I am bootstrapping a new, free weekly newsletter about entrepreneurship.

It’s called Scaling With Soul: Where Purpose Meets Profit.

This newsletter delivers the stories, advice, and resources I wish I'd had—from founders who've built successful companies while creating great cultures and high-performing teams. Subscribe if you're all in on your entrepreneurial journey and believe success doesn't require compromising your values. Join our community of founders who are proving you can scale with both ambition and soul.

This publication is just the latest tool in my toolbox as I work to fulfill my mission to demystify entrepreneurship and make it more accessible to everyone, no matter what your background. I’m betting that you will get value out of your first read and come back for more. I’m betting that you’ll want to dive deeper into my content by reading my book or watching my free videos and playlists about bootstrapping and entrepreneurship on TikTok.

In other words, this is not a “one and done.” I’m all in on bootstrapping and I want to be along for the ride as a resource and a peer as you embark on your own bootstrapping journey.
