Hey, I'm Neal. And I Wasn't

Supposed to Make It.

At 15, I was pistol whipped by a police officer, sexually molested at 16, and I had been kicked out of 2 schools, No father figure in sight, by 18 I was realizing how much trouble I was getting into. I pivoted and joined the US Marines.

12 countries, multiple deployments, I served our country at the highest level of momentum and velocity

After the Marines I struggled with life and did not know who I was supposed to be.

This voice of my immigrant grandparents rang in my head “Neal you can choose to be anything you want to be”

I worked hard, I hustled, I fought forward and worked at some of the largest companies on the planet and my need to push forward and keep trying burnt me out. I had mastered business, systems, and tactics. But my relationships were falling apart, I had a deep hole in my heart that I had tried to fill with every vice I could find. Including a suicide attempt. I tried everything, except what I needed.

Then something actually changed in 2019

“YOU WITH THE BEARD - Tony Robbins called on me at Date With Destiny.

It was the first time I ever felt it: someone saw me for me and saw what I was actually capable of achieving. My heart opened.

And in a blink of a moment a chapter closed and a new chapter opened.

That moment changed my life forever.

FROM Pissed TO PURPOSE

For the first time, I had something to pour my energy into that wasn’t destruction. I was always pissed off at everyone and the “deck I had been dealt in life.

I became obsessed with, business, sales, coaching and and showing others what they are really capable of doing

But first I had to make some edits - After launching a digital marketing agency with an IP acquisition, Leading a SAAS company sales through Public IPO, and raising $100M for another SAAS company from 2015-2019

A father of three, now divorced for the second time. I had to repair those relationships and I realized that I was capable of doing it all when it had purpose and meaning and momentum.

I then realized what I had to do next. I wanted to serve and help

From Internal exploring to external pioneering

In 2020 I launched a men’s community and called it Press Forward after a personal brand exercise that I had undergone in 2018. The goal, make men better men. We launched events and accountability groups. Internal work is important.

The take away after 2 years - The most impact I can have in the world is through empowering others to provide, protect, pioneer, and profit.

I did’t just want men to feel good about themselves. I wanted them to have impact, have happy families, and to want to influence others

I realized that I would never want anyone to go through the 20 years of masochism that i put myself through BUT I wish to share all the lessons and I made a commitment share and empower people to win.

And here is the thing… After all the internal work, I realized the tactics, and the strategies externally get 10X stronger and drop in AI and suddenly YOU have ability to:

Get more time back in your day

Get more momentum

Get more freedom

It’s not about the grind…It’s about the legacy
