Inbox Zero
Look at it once. Decide where it goes. Put it there. My exact system for getting your inbox to zero and keeping it there.
Every business needs two people: the Dreamer with the vision and the Driver who makes it real. Matt King and I help both of them build the partnership that actually moves the business.
You’ve tried the software, the workshops, the hiring and the firing, and you’re still carrying the whole business on your back. Matt and I wrote this book about the one relationship that changes that: the partnership between a Dreamer and their Driver. Part One is the story of a burned-out founder learning to let go. Part Two gives you the tools to build it yourself, including the Driver-Ready Scale, the Driver Quadrant and the Storm-Proof Calendar.
“Mountains don’t look like dollar signs or spreadsheets. Mountains look like people.”
Matt and I built Second in Command Club for founders and the people who run the business with them. It’s where you’ll find the assessments and tools from the book, the playbooks we’re building, and courses for the Driver who’s ready to lead.

For more than 35 years, I’ve been the second in command. I spent 15 of those years at one of the largest retailers in the country, supporting the leaders who ran the business. I’ve also started and run multiple businesses of my own, and served as the second in command for small and medium-sized businesses, including as a COO.
Through all of it, my job has been the same: take a leader’s big idea and figure out how it actually gets done. The systems, the people, the follow-through. And I’ve learned that most people problems and cash problems start with a missing system.
Now Matt and I teach Dreamers and Drivers how to build that partnership at Second in Command Club.
