Track record

11 portfolio brands.
One operator.

I'm Chairman of Flux Ventures. Inside it: Flux Chargers, Future Sharks, Mentioned, Authority Daily, SoInfluential, Remarkable, TotalGirlBoss, Absolute Baller, The Insurance Nerd — and I run Pickleland, an indoor pickleball facility in Austin.

Every essay I write is informed by what's working on a P&L I'm responsible for. Not theory.
