Why am I teaching this workshop?

My mission is to integrate insights from my diverse experiences into a holistic coaching and consulting practice. The Economics of Self Business Consulting Service offers a practical, evidence-based approach rooted in authenticity, integrity, and personal well-being. By aligning with one’s true self and values, I help individuals create businesses that thrive financially while promoting personal health, wellness, and spirituality.

I've dedicated nine years to 12-step recovery programs, overcoming trauma, substance addiction, fear, anxiety, and work addiction. My profound experience in the psychedelic community enriches my approach to sustainable behavior change and spiritual growth. With extensive experience as a management consultant for Fortune 100 clients and as a founder of businesses in health and wellness, I bring a unique blend of business acumen and personal insight to my work.

What qualifies me to teach this workshop?

The “Economics of Self” is a practical approach to integrating economic principles, personal values, relationships, spirituality, environmental considerations, and more into a decision-making process that fosters greater joy, fulfillment, and connection. It’s part science, part magic, and a lot of love. I didn’t invent the framework; it has evolved over time, with notable scholars, writers, and philosophers contributing to its development. My contribution is modest: offering simple, practical tools to apply this framework to organize and navigate life with greater ease, integrity, fulfillment, and value. Why? Because it works.

I have over 20 years of experience as a designer, artist, and entrepreneur, with nearly 15 years in business consulting, innovation, and design. I’ve made a lot of money and lost a lot of money—the chaos of my condition, life choices, and unconscious chase for money as safety caused the greatest pain in my life and led to the most awe-inspiring recovery of my self, sanity, and sustainable practices. Through the economics of self, I’ve learned to build my first spiritually sustainable business and non-profit organization. Money is not a measure of success; it is a tool for trading and interacting. The beauty, pain, high-level C-suite consulting, top-ranked MBA, graduate school studies in art, business and design awards, executive positions, and more didn’t mean much until I learned to reorganize my life based on my spiritual principles and intrinsic gifts. This process of going inward to understand my purpose caused a drastic redesign of my life, vocation, and approach to business.

After working in the arts and transitioning through a diverse array of firms—ranging from startups to small, mid-market, and global companies—I launched two of my own startups: a design firm and an innovation firm. I now focus on my true devotion: health and wellness through L.A.S. and service work through LYOS. I’ve led teams, built divisions, scaled products, spearheaded complex system-wide innovations, consulted for the government, and driven change in Fortune 500 companies. It wasn't until I underwent a profound life redesign and let go of the material possessions and identity I once clung to that I discovered a “spiritually sustainable” way of living, earning, and managing a business. The darkness of my past, the hope of my present life, the guidance of a higher power, and the support and encouragement from my clients, friends, and advisors have all inspired me to share this journey with you.
