Run and Grow Your Multi-Million Dollar Business in 6-8 Hours a Week.
Where did The 6-Hour CEO™ come from?
I started my first practice in the basement of a local gym with a massage table, a cell phone, a Palm Pilot, and business cards from a mall kiosk.
From there, I built a 6-location, $4M+ practice with a 17-therapist clinical team and 40+ total staff across the San Francisco Bay Area.
The real win wasn’t growth.
It was learning how to run the business without it running me.
Over time, and with great coaches, a decade in EO, relentless reading, strong mentors, and plenty of trial-and-error, I built the systems, decision rules, scorecards, and leadership habits that let me manage the business in about 6 hours a week.
That’s what The 6-Hour CEO™ is:
a practical operating system for owners who want scale, sanity, and strong teams.
For the last 10 years, I’ve coached founders, CEOs, and practice owners to fast-track what took me over a decade to learn, so they can:
- Stop being the bottleneck (without losing control)
- Build a team that executes (without constant follow-up)
- Make decisions faster (with fewer surprises)
- Protect their time while the business continues to grow
When you’re running your business in as little as 6–8 hours a week, you don’t “get free time.”
You get choices.
You can stay hands-on with the work you love, patients, clients, product, sales, strategy, without guilt.
Or you can redirect that time to family, health, travel, coaching your kids, or anything else that matters.
My job on stage: give your audience a clear framework and specific actions they can use immediately, so they leave with momentum, not just motivation.
