See around the corners you haven't yet turned

Cabot Earle

Most CEOs I work with aren't looking for more advice. They're looking for perspective from someone who's been there.

With three stints as CEO — including building an investor-backed company from concept to mid-eight figures in under three years, and running a sub-$100M family business where the margin for error was personal — I appreciate what it feels like:

  • When revenue plateaus and you can't figure out why.
  • When you're facing a bet-the-company decision with no obvious right answer.
  • When you're the person everyone else looks to for answers, and there's no one in the room looking out for you.

Most CEOs navigate those moments alone.

That's the gap I fill.

Who I work with

Who I work with
Who I (usually) don't work with
You're running a $5M–$50M revenue business
You're pre-revenue or still finding product-market fit
You feel like you're hitting friction or navigating growth, people, capital or exit scenarios
You want a coach to keep you accountable to habits or routines
You want a peer who's operated at scale and made consequential decisions like what you're facing
You want someone to validate your decisions and reinforce your thinking
You want honest, unfiltered perspective
You're more comfortable maintaining than pushing forward to the next evolution
