Turn your biggest challenges into 10X opportunities
Live coaching with master CEO coach, Dave Bailey. Battle-tested frameworks you can use with your team. A high-support CEO community. Scale your company—without scaling your calendar.
Upgrade your OS. Reclaim your time.
Most founders don’t choose a leadership system. They inherit one—shaped by urgency, circumstance, and reaction.
You end up with:
- OKRs that scatter your team across too many priorities
- Strategy docs no one reads (or remembers)
- Failed exec hiring based on "gut feel"
- Calendars overloaded with 1-1s
- Culture shaped by the loudest voices
- Performance reviews that don't actually drive performance
These are symptoms, not failures.
There is a better way...

Why I built a a coaching system.
After a decade as a venture-backed founder—and a stint at a VC fund—I saw the same pattern again and again.
Burn out. Misalignment. Leadership advice that didn’t fit the realities of startup life.
So I did what any obsessed founder would do:
I built a system.
A system that turns instinct into leverage. That helps you lead clearly, without being in every room. That shows you how to scale, without losing your edge.
Now, I coach a community of ambitious CEOs who are doing just that.
If that sounds like you, apply now and join the movement.
