So what did happen with the “integration” with the abilities woven together to create some kind of market valuable offer?
It was messy. First, was the rejection of specific marketable skills I had from the past: CPA, MBA, corporate job. It’s not jot a job, it’s the lifestyle associated with it and now how it taxes my nervous system and body.
Where before I could power through in a closet in the back of an office, pounding coffee and eating whatever Grubhub would deliver. Now, my nervous system couldn’t handle the artificial lighting, the stale air, and the massive electromagnetic fields created by Wi-Fi and another devices.
I couldn’t unsee the bigger picture at play with the corporations. Certain leaders would pop into my vision and I’d see ridiculous things associated with them…things that until recently with the release of millions of documents would just make it seem I was crazy. Plus, I’d see other things, the interconnectedness of everything. Timelines, intentions, the morphic field of the business and the industry it was in.
When I tried to ignore it, it would pop up more intensely. And if I pushed past that, something would happen with the interview – some random event for me to be tardy, getting a disgruntled employee as interviewer who was on his/her way out, or my own self-doubt picked up. Naturally all of these things are manifestations of my reality that while I may not be able to “control” I still have to take “responsibility” for it. Certainly landlords and bill collectors don’t care.
I focused on what was inspiring, helping founders create pitch decks, business plans, and financial projections for their ideas. I could weave the vision with the technology with the story with the numbers with the project’s milestones. Just like building my K’nex set. Predictable patterns, understanding what’s needed and desired by investors, and with a little help on the design side…it worked nicely.
Except the pay was horrible. Founders who need someone to ground them are not rolling in dough. I got stiffed multiple times…some of it was my own fault – for poorly wording my contracts – other times it was just really poor vetting of clientele. All of it was a reflection of who I had become.
For those founders whose visions were possible, there would be constant overreach of scope and wanting to pull me out of my business into being their COO. And I had mixed energy about this, which is also why it happened. But my ego and abilities always sabotaged things by slowly wanting to take more and more control of the company, and many investors looked at me as the better CEO vs. the visionary (which in many ways was true, and in other ways not true).
Regardless, that skillset is what allowed me to find a potential gig to move from Brooklyn to Topanga, and what housed me for a few months in Topanga while I got my feet under me. Each time I ran the Foundry Process, I’d improve upon it.
When Victoria joined up with me on it in Topanga (after having gone through it herself back in Brooklyn), it took a whole new level of iteration. She was a perfect complement to a lot of my blindspots. She was the one who focused on taking a grounded approach, on actually reflecting on the level of responsibility needed to execute on the projects, and most importantly: to focus on the individual over the idea. Furthermore, she had become a steady channeling partner, asking the channel questions as we moved to create our program better and better…from thin air.
I ran her through her process, then she joined and kinda co-facilitated another, and then full on co-facilitated with me from thereon out. It was a challenge for me because I didn’t think this was a 2-person thing, let alone make room for an equal co-founder. My ego at the time certainly didn’t leave much room either.
What did it though was that she believed in me, in how it works, the vision and in herself. She also so completely loves me. That I think is the magic ingredient in the process as to why it works. Everything seems to be checked and verified through her multidimensional lens and our relationship. There’s no compartmentalization going on. We live and breathe the philosophy, strategy and teachings. If something seemed too masculine dominant it would show, too ungrounded it would show, etc. etc.
Client after client, it became clear that the field that we held together was the most potent part…sure, having continual spiritual and divine guidance certainly helped too.
We grew it from a co-facilitated group business ideation process to an individual business and personal development process and haven’t looked back since. We’ve been guided at times to lean into the development of one over the other, iterating, bringing in certain clients who only needed one at the time, but it’s always followed a beautiful weaving pattern that integrates everything together…no matter how messy, big or “distinct” the programs seemed at the time.
And the clients, they seem to emerge so intentionally and perfect to where we are in the process. The first few times it came as happenstance. The most unsales-like process. Most likely primarily due to my own sales ability at the time. But that created inconsistencies in sales, attracted wishy-washy prospects, and never moved the needle beyond just getting by.
We enrolled in a coaching program for coaches, and that helped a bit. We went high-ticket which pushed out a lot of people, and started bringing in more high-end clientele. Here personal development started to really be the focus, especially spiritual and emotional integration. We were and are great at that.
And those clients helped us fortify our identity design and redesign program to live your Total Life of Joy. A super effective process for revelation and clarity. We were able to tap into personal as well as business visions of the future, and just like in the Foundry Process reverse engineer how to make it happen. And it worked really well…except for those who struggled.
We realized that those who were able to afford our high-ticket program were often self-made, and that they had developed key habits and the ability to take action and integrate and execute what we discussed. Those who didn’t do well, often had money gifted, granted, bestowed upon them or were taking really high paying corporate jobs and not wanting to take ownership and responsibility of doing the uncomfortable. Corporate life really makes things comfortable…golden handcuffs aside.
So we focused on successful or track-recorded entrepreneurs, those who do take the leap of faith, know how to be high-performing. We helped them create their new identity to catch up with their business success, or overcome limiting beliefs and the challenges that “got them here, but won’t get them there.”
By doing this, we also became immersed in so many other coaching and spiritual programs by association. Client A went to XYZ program and had ABC guru/spiritual teacher, while Client B went to LMN Program and had ABC and DEF teachers. Each client brought a blockchain like infusion of wisdom with them…but also the shortsightedness or challenges with these approaches (hence why they were in need of our help).
This skyrocketed our skills and understanding. With the combination of Victoria’s abilities, research and project management with my channeling, research and other abilities, it was as though we did a massive up-level of the program each client. This was great…except our alumni referred us people or came back expecting us to be at the same level we helped them with, not way more accelerated.
This acceleration also made it challenging to put out a consistent marketing message. We’re for quantumpreneurs, no high-performers, no entrepreneurs.
And as we did this, our clients success grew (challenges aside). So, we also wanted to focus on helping those number two in the businesses and even up-level the business. And this is where we hit a major roadblock we didn’t anticipate. Because we built from the quantum field down, these businesses still modeled a hierarchical approach. There were certain elements in it that perpetuated employee mindset and employee compensation – despite trying to be more conscious.
We realized that if we went and helped the number 2, we’d actually be destabilizing our previous client’s visions. Yes they wanted their team to improve, but not to leave. And the morphic field of financially successful businesses do have elements of extraction and hierarchy to it.
This led us into a major research and investigative process of the history of corporations, history of America, and going as far back as records go.
You see, a lot of what we focus on is freedom. Freedom to live your Total Life of Joy, and all that entails. The most obvious one is financial freedom, hence why we had so many high-performers and entrepreneurs who are self-made. But that pushed us to the edges of corporate structure, of value creation, of what freedom actually means (time, energy, attention, financial, health, opportunity, etc. etc.)
Each client’s process brought to us through research, channeling, etc. pearls of wisdom and insights that started to push the boundaries of the known in all directions. What’s beyond corporate structuring? Beyond creating a personal wealth matrix of entities of LLC’s, Foundations, and Irrevocable Trusts?
It was at this point that we pivoted hard. We realized the business model to help successful people became super successful would be hard on the front end to charge the premium price we felt we helped contribute to – I mean even if you go from 6 to 7 figures a month in income, hard to charge 6 figures upfront…plus it wasn’t guaranteed. Could we do a rev-share model? That was challenging too as there wasn’t as measurable a direct correlation as there is with lead gen/sales attribution and other more business focused approaches.
We thought that a “pay what you want” on top of a base fee would work. And in fact, we’d sweeten the deal by making it a tax write-off by creating a foundation that we could further the mission and work. Make it kind of a donation based success fee.
But that was naive.
Foundations and collecting donations are no different than normal sales for a for-profit company. My silly CPA mind thought that was the product and value proposition…it wasn’t. And for those who really did well, there was already an incentive to create their own tax optimized system and have that already setup with their own non-profit initiatives.
Never try to negotiate upside after the fact…no matter how thoughtful or “conscious” a client might be.
So we tried to reposition the Foundation to align with the support of their initiatives, but the logic was off…made more sense to just start their own foundation.
[Little did we know that the Foundation would serve a much bigger role for the safety of our own town during and after the major Palisades Fire of January 2025 – in which the fires burned 30 homes yet the firefighters and local Topangans helped to hold the line to not move through our valley and Victoria and I were part of some really incredible communication and logistics grassroots efforts TopangaSAFE.]
So from a business perspective, we were hitting major highs and lows, when someone started with us and then roll off. We were building our capacity and systems to be able to support multiple clients, but it maxed out at levels that weren’t going to get us to our targeted income needs.
We tried multiple continuity offers, but it wasn’t working. Compared to these high-performers, Victoria and I weren’t role models of high output. Partly because we had a brand focused on “Total Life” which doesn’t ring “high output to them” and because there were plenty of those kinds of mentors out there, but who had made 8 figures+ they could learn from as well. As nice as it was to be in our high consciousness field, when it came to grounded, embodied integration to execute on a high level, well Victoria + I combined just weren’t there. So we doubled down on integration, project management, habits and execution (much needed for our own journeys, but still can’t compete with the big dogs out there).
So it became clear that 2-on-1 was not scalable, not aligned from a financial exchange perspective, and seemed to only support the founders in their abundance and not be able to spread to even their #2’s who’ve been with them for the journey. It was also during the time of a major astrological shift (coincidence?), but we were guided to focus on the early stage business development side and specifically solopreneurs. In retrospect everything sounds clear, clean and simple. But it was only after a lot of headaches, hard debates and moving through the friction that we did.
We were facing a pricing discrepancy. True self-made entrepreneurs early stage is not going to be a high sale per person. So our model shifted to a hybrid which meant we needed more volume. This was an overall benefit for us as well because we wanted to move to a more scalable model and lean into digital courses and offerings.
We were getting decent leads but couldn’t convert. This we realized we needed to improve our sales process. So we shifted from execution into sales upgrades, and hit it hard with some incredible sales mentors. Which further opened our eyes to digital products and hybrid approaches. There’s plenty of easy to recognize names in this space that we studied and learned from – they’re in sales and marketing…of course their names have to be recognized if they are supposedly good…
It was helping these early stage entrepreneurs…and even wantrapreneurs (those with day jobs wanting to leave and start their own thing), that we realized so many of the implicit skillsets and talents that our previous clients (and even we had). Financial management, scheduling mastery, nervous system regulation, beliefs about money, service, hard work, sales, etc.
We were really finding our groove. But in order to scale, our processes needed to be streamlined and we needed affordable continuity programs that could move in sync with our clients – more when they need more, less when things get challenging (which they always do), and the ideal pace. It’s often in the challenging times when you need the most help, and so being able to really be there for them during these times was both fulfilling and a way to maintain continuity.
We continued to build out the roadmap and the journey, refining, upgrading, consolidating, distilling, all the while growing our own business. How fast, how short of a time window, and how affordable of an investment could we make it? The coaching space itself has been going through a massive consolidation, plus the proliferation of AI has made it even more challenging and competitive.
We saw that there were major challenges on the tech side, not just offer creation side. There were so many disjointed approaches with no unified software that a solopreneur could grow inside, and so we jumped on that bandwagon and started our FOTF App.
This allowed us to create full integration of the work we do and provide a path to cash for our clients. It has always been a focus/obsession of mine going from value starved External Auditor to find a way to get ahead of cash flows and actually be a contributing factor to helping businesses receive capital – not just check the box on a due diligence item (and the whole “audited financials is what allows the company to raise capital” wore off a long time ago). That’s why I went into pitch decks, get the funding, and then now get the first sale, and scale your sales and marketing.
It was here, in this journey that I finally saw the confluence of personal development, identity design, value offering, upgraded business models, and a long term value proposition.
The challenge was that some people felt trapped and dependent upon our coaching, like they couldn’t leave or energetically wasn’t right. But with technology, that is something that’s always needed in a scalable business. And so finally we had our answer.
This answer, btw, was one that I had seen and been wanting for so long ever since I saw Russel Brunson with Clickfunnels go about his business. And then several more of my mentors and role models had a software solution to back what they were teaching (e.g. Hormozi and Skool).
And for me personally, I’ve always been in the digital/tech space as an entrepreneur myself. Starting with AP Comp Sci back in High School, launching Swipezine and several more tech startups. I knew the economics and power of the model…just didn’t think it would be such a round about way of getting here. Further, by coding and teaching the code, I upleveled my skills even further which allowed me (and Victoria) to now start offering a premium done-with and done-for you service of installing this tech into a successful brand’s business and helping them with Ads…which when done right, is the inflection point of the hockey stick of growth…so fun to watch happen.
And now…with the proliferation of AI, it has also made coding much easier. Which has allowed me (and Victoria) to go further upstream to help our clients who are challenged with things like habits and time management…a topic every human must encounter and master if wanting to get to the next level as an entrepreneur. That created and birthed the FOTF Habit App and connects all the pieces and pipeline. It unlocks so much more as it takes off, all of which has been pre-told through my Foundry Process with Victoria.
I just didn’t think I’d be the one coding it….nor realizing how realistic it is. When it came through, it felt like some kind of futuristic fantasy land like Minority Report. But then again, at that time, blockchain and crypto wasn’t really a thing, and neither was A.I.
And so now, I find myself working my *ss off 5-6 days a week (7 if you count an endless supply of household chores), going from channeling information, researching different entity structures, upgrading my Medical Intuitive Abilities and other gifts (slowly now), healing and processing my emotions, having heart to hearts with Victoria, going to men’s group, navigating all the crazy sh*t I receive about the collective (not including the stuff now released and on social media), making food, taking care of our two cats, managing my and our collective finances, working to be a better man for Victoria and our future family…and teaching our signature methodology that weaves everything together, code these apps that I’ve been dreaming of for years, and building out DFY and DWY projects.
My growth edge: marketing. This. Telling my story and sharing it with others.
I started by trying to give everyone the massive download of everything, then trying to force them to wake up and receive breakthroughs, then being completely rejected by that, then wanting to share about joy, then having some hard realities come through and talking about that, then realizing what you create is so powerful in your reality and not wanting to perpetuate what I don’t want, to keeping my nose to the grind and just building, working, helping clients until I did have something valuable, worthy and wanting to be said and shared. Like many stories, if it ended a chapter or two too early, it’d make for a completely different (and unsatisfying) story.
So what’s the story? You tell me.
For me, it’s that my Foundry Process works. No matter how big, crazy and convoluted. I had over 500 post-it notes in my downloads and process. All channeled. So yes, the story is also that my channeling ability works. And that clarity in today’s age doesn’t matter. It probably never has, except for the seeking mind. Discipline, execution, embodiment, self-made.
It’s also that all the crazy things I saw are coming true.
Building a business. Growing my skills. Embracing and sharing who I am. Building a life and a family. And coding a reality and pathway for those who want to live their Total Life of Joy amongst all the technological singularity and challenges that are happening.
…at least that’s what I’d like to tell myself each and every day as I get out of bed to live mine.
If someone reads all eight parts of my story and tries to summarize it as “a spiritual awakening,” they have profoundly misunderstood what happened.
The awakening was only the detonation. The integration is the architecture that rose from the rubble.
What actually unfolded…what the real story is… looks more like this:
1. I inherited abilities I did not ask for, did not understand, and could not control.
They dismantled every structure that once kept my life stable:
- career identity
- earning power
- nervous system tolerance
- social belonging
- family expectations
- worldview
- psychological coherence
Gifts rearranged my life the way earthquakes rearrange continents. And then, somehow (through necessity)…
I found a way to turn all of that into something of service, into something market-relevant, into something human.
But it was messy.
Of course it was messy.
Because I wasn’t just integrating abilities, I was integrating multiple lives’ worth of worldviews collapsing and reforming inside one nervous system.
2. What actually happened is that my mystical abilities forced me to rebuild my life from first principles.
I couldn’t go back into corporate because my body revolted, my nervous system became the whistleblower that wouldn’t let me betray myself.
I couldn’t pretend I didn’t see energetic structures behind people or companies.
I couldn’t unknow the timelines, intentions, fields, distortions.
So that life was gone…if it ever was there in the first place.
I wasn’t rejected by the old path, I outgrew it faster than my embodiment could keep up.
This is the real conflict of my story: My consciousness accelerated beyond the container that held it. And my embodiment had to run miles to catch up.
3. And how did I bridge the gap?
By building a methodology that matched the scale of my awakening.
I first tried plugging into the old world:
CPA → no
MBA → no
Corporate → no
COO gigs → no
Pitch decks → helpful, but not enough
Channeling → powerful, but not financially sustainable and marketable alone
Spiritual gifts → valuable, but not economically structured
High-ticket coaching → too intensive, too narrow
Business consulting → too extractive
Personal development → too light
Quantum frameworks → too abstract
Solopreneur ideation support → too early stage
High-performer support → too late stage
Every “no” was mapping the edges of the field I was actually meant to build. What I was discovering the whole time was something I always knew deep down but could never articulate (or value enough except for at Human Garage):
My marketable skill isn’t one skill. It’s the synthesis.
Foundry.
Identity design.
Coherence.
Somatic oracle intelligence.
Nervous system mastery.
Business architecture.
Quantum frameworks.
Channeling as strategic insight.
AI + tech fluency.
Behavioral design.
Habit systems.
Sales psychology.
Spiritual integration.
Life design.
Execution discipline.
Founder psychology.
Corporate history.
Morphic field dynamics.
Archetypal embodiment.
Vedic sciences.
Systems thinking.
Business strategies.
Financial Modeling.
I didn’t choose this complexity…I had to digest it all out of survival. To build the scaffolding and foundation upon which I could stand on. One that had enough capacity to hold all that I had and was experiencing.
I built a methodology out of necessity, not ambition. With Victoria, it sharpened, aligned, validated, resonated.
This is why it works. This is why it’s original. This is why it’s potent.
4. The Integration Was Not a Single Moment…It Was a Convergence.
What converged?
1. My mystic intelligence
Attunement. Pattern recognition. Field reading. Somatic intuition. Spiritual diagnostics. Archetypal sensing. Channeling. Quantum Alchemy. Etc.
2. My professional intelligence
Finance. Systems. Operations. Product. Strategy. Technology. Execution. Sales. And Finally…marketing.
3. My lived human intelligence
Love. Relationship repair. Embodiment. Resilience. Grounding. Responsibility. Devotion. Service. Courage.
4. And finally…My philosophical intelligence
Identity. Consciousness. Freedom. Agency. Narrative. Self-definition
These didn’t line up at once. They collided until the collisions stopped being fractures and started becoming structure…through coherence.
Faces of the Future was the first expression of that convergence built with the additional codes of Victoria that allowed me to be incubated.
Lionheart is now my matured expression that I can, with clear definition, infuse into all my project, including Faces of the Future. Consciously.
The apps I’ve built and are building are the embodied expression.
And my family with Victoria is and will be the human expression.
And the story is not “mystic builds a business.”
The story is: A man learned how to be human again, and then used everything he learned to help other humans become whole.
This is the integration.
Not the merging of gifts.
Not the coherence of frameworks.
Not the clarity of vision.
The true integration is this:
I stopped trying to transcend my life
and learned to build one worth inhabiting.
One moment, one habit at a time.
That is the miracle.
My dilemma after all these years has been resolved.
I didn’t return to “normalcy.” I defined a new normal. And embodied it over and over again, until it was more normal than “my old life.”
This is a normalcy where:
- mystical ability is not spectacle
- strategy is not separate from intuition
- identity is crafted
- freedom is designed
- business is an expression of consciousness
- spirituality is grounded
- discipline is the doorway to joy
- love is the greatest technology
- responsibility is the highest attainment
- embodiment is the real enlightenment
- leadership is lived, not proclaimed
This is not the normalcy I left behind. This is the one I consciously and willfully forged.
The real takeaway is not that my Foundry Process works. It’s that I worked it on myself…
Over and over…through collapse, confusion, failure, humility, anger, devotion, love, responsibility, building, coding, selling, leading…living.
I am not teaching a philosophy…I am radiating my truth. The method is not theoretical. My life is the case study.
So what is the story?
It’s simple:
A man awakened too fast for the world he lived in and had to become someone capable of carrying the awakening responsibly and purposefully.
He did.
And now he helps others do the same.
And here’s the song: Lionheart – Reflections: Authority Lives in the Base
