I spent 10 years in Canada working in the tech industry, moving from developer to manager, and earning two promotions over four years at one of Canada’s largest banks.

While working a full-time 9–5, my wife and I started an e-commerce business out of our house basement — which has since generated over $1.5M in revenue.

At the end of 2025, I walked away from a $200K tech job and took a break from my software engineering career, for many reasons I’ll be unpacking on this podcast.

Along the way, I learned how personal growth actually works — the wins, the losses, the burnout, the side hustles, and the mindset shifts you’ll never see on LinkedIn.

No hype. No guru talk.

Just honest conversations about work, business, and figuring things out as you go.
