For the past seven years, I’ve been in the trenches of building and leading an organization, raising over $1.3 million to fund its growth. But the journey wasn’t smooth—I faced the entrepreneurial roller coaster head-on, experiencing burnout, doubt, and the kind of dread that makes you want to quit. Countless times, I was on the edge of giving up.

What saved me wasn’t just motivation or discipline—it was a system I built out of necessity. After spending two years as a monk in an ancient-style monastery, I developed an obsession with psychology, resilience, and performance. I poured thousands of hours into researching and testing mental frameworks, pulling together insights that were usually taught in isolation—things like flow state, antifragile psychology, deep work, and cognitive reframing. Over the years, I refined these into a cohesive system that gave me confidence, peace, and a deep sense of flow in the moment.

But there was one missing piece I didn’t find articulated anywhere else—the key to real antifragility:

depth through a sense of calling. When I discovered how to cultivate an internal sense of purpose beyond surface-level goals, everything changed. It was no longer about pushing through pain but being pulled forward by something greater. That shift saved me and made all the difference in my ability to navigate uncertainty, sustain energy, and execute at a high level without burning out.

Now, I’m launching The Deep Entrepreneur to share this system. This is still the early stage, but my goal is clear: to help entrepreneurs master their mindset, escape the cycles of burnout and self-doubt, and build lasting success with clarity, confidence, and deep inner freedom. If I had known this when I started, I could have avoided years of struggle. Now, I’m making sure others don’t have to figure it out alone.
