Professional athlete turned indie hacker

About

At 41, I feel like I’ve already lived a few lifetimes. First as a professional athlete, then as an engineer, and later as a life coach helping people push past fear, doubt, and imposter syndrome. Each season came with its own lessons— sleepless nights, small victories, and eventually the clarity to know when it’s time to pivot. Today, I’m fully committed to building The Hub Hq—a place where all my projects and ideas come together under one roof. It’s the home base for the tools I’m creating to solve problems I’ve faced myself (and watched so many others struggle with). StakeShare, Coach-Connect, Genio, ShipOrSink and many others. This is the work I want to dedicate the next chapter of my life to: building tools that empower people, founders, and coaches alike.

A new way to do marketing that benefits everyone.

We use an hybrid system combining revenue shares and phantom equity to reward creators who promote our brand. Phantom equity is a performance-based reward system where creators earn a percentage of your company's TOTAL revenue, not actual company shares. Think of it as "virtual ownership" - creators get paid based on how much revenue they help generate, but they don't own actual equity in your company. This means founders keep full control while creators get meaningful rewards that grow with your success.
