Even though living it forward has felt bumpy and filled with detours; in retrospect, there’s a straight line between starting my first business at 16 and Seminal. The string throughout has been the desire to share the story and expertise of myself and others:

As a parent, the greatest gift we can give to our children is to pass on our lessons learned. The same is true for us as human beings. Our greatest gift is sharing our lessons with the next generation as a whole.
Imagine a sold out sports stadium with tens of thousands of people. Imagine that you have the opportunity to give a few minute speech about your story and your biggest lessons learned and everyone’s attention is on YOU.
That’s the opportunity we all have NOW.
The right content at the right time can completely transform someone’s life. It’s definitely changed ours.
It doesn’t make sense that many of the most impactful and successful people in the world rarely share their expertise and that teaching is such a poorly compensated profession.
The mission of Seminal is to help create a better world by teaching entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants, and thought leaders how to write blockbuster articles that make them recognized experts — no matter what niche.
