Hunting, Hacking, Creating

Opportunities for business and personal growth don’t magically appear - we need to seek them out. We need to hunt for opportunities.

When we find opportunities, we need to take advantage of them using the resources at hand. We hack solutions to aggressively take advantage of opportunities.

The outcomes we envision for our business and personal lives won’t manifest themselves. We need to work hard and create them.

Mike’s mindset and methods for Hunting, Hacking, and Creating are what he’s leveraged to transform from an insecure kid to an industry recognized expert and successful entrepreneur.

That’s what Mike does:

Hunt opportunities
Hack solutions
Create outcomes

And while Mike’s career for the last twenty years focused on cybersecurity, hacking is more than just taking over someone else's computer and stealing data.

Hacking is about creating solutions using the resources at hand.

Mike’s mission is to help people create the business impact and growth they desire, but don’t know how to achieve.

For some, that means learning how to bootstrap a business and get it off the ground from zero to their first $1M in revenue.

For others, it means navigating the painful lessons and decisions associated with growth from $1M to $5M to $10M to $50M in revenue and beyond.

Being successful in competitive markets takes more than a “can do/kick some ass” attitude. Leadership and communication skills are more important than ever, as modern technology allows our clients, partners, and employees to consume information from us business owners AND our competitors.

“Collaborating with Mike has provided a tremendous boost to my professional mindset. His experience starting, growing, and eventually selling his own company comes through in our conversations regarding my next steps with my company. If you’re feeling stuck or need a fresh perspective, contact Mike.”

In The Field with the Hunter Hacker

Over the decades of his career in the digital space and scaling businesses in various industries, Mike has come to understand the profound impact technology can have on a business, and how it can be equally positive or detrimental to an organization’s longevity.

Great technology is a competitive advantage, allowing a business to securely outpace its competition while creating an enjoyable experience for employees, customers, and shareholders.

Bad technology, on the other hand, is an expensive drain on employee morale, customer experience, and shareholder value, while also burdening the business with unknown levels of cybersecurity risk.

All in all, a great leader who gives their people bad technology is not a great leader.

Mike has devoted his coaching and advisory services to bringing his extensive expertise to your business in a simplified, straightforward way. He breaks down every win and potential red flag to help you understand the most impactful moves you can make to increase your revenue and build an even stronger team.

As an avid outdoorsman and mountain bike racer, Mike values the opportunities a strategic operation can provide to reward you with the freedom to step away from your successful career and into an outdoor lifestyle with those in your life who matter most.

A deep thinker with a knack for simplification, Mike will get into the weeds of your business to focus on the most important things you need to create the professional, financial, and personal outcomes you desire.
