Unblock yourself, from yourself.
Coaching for Founders and Creatives
Where we feel blocked is not in our day to day work, it’s usually a few layers deeper.
And it’s there in that mess we’ll start our work together. There are no prescribed agendas or expectations. I simply meet you where you are and we go from there.
You get to slow down and unapologetically talk about what you are really feeling and wanting to do, but are too busy or overwhelmed to articulate.
You’re invited to bring all of you and all of what you are going through, without the responsibility you feel when you talk with family, friends, or co-workers.
David, Partner, Co-Founder, VP of Strategy at Thought Factory.
“Minnow is extremely open minded and brilliant at filtering: a human sponge. He reads the books and follows the people that I don't. This immediately expands me and my worldview.
He has a pantry full of frameworks that we pull out and apply to all the new problems and pains I face as a first time founder. He sees the principles behind my actions, intentions, and desires.”
Katie, Founder of Bachmeyer Press
“As a mother of three kids 6 and under, and with a husband in medical school, Minnow looks at the heavy lifting I must do as a business owner and helps me figure out smart and intentional ways to lighten the load.
His ability to sift through and clarify my thoughts while providing actionable insights to move forward with is truly invaluable.”
The goal of our work together is to chart a map of your intuition that you can reference whenever you need.
Your intuition is more than just your expertise and skills. It’s involves every part of you—body, mind, and soul—and the work is in understanding how it all fits together.
Because if you can start to rely on your intuition the same way as you would a Twitter thread, business book, or best practice, things will start to shift.
After each of our sessions, I send you a write-up that helps you save time processing your intuition and get you reflecting on what we talked about to turn it into meaningful action.
And soon enough, you’ll become unstuck and your unfair advantage shows up as you align with your intuition and are clear about what needs to happen next.
Grace, Founder of PX Coaching
“After working with Minnow for the past 6 months, I can honestly say that I would not be where I am in terms of a positive mindset, reachable goals, heightened confidence, clarity about my brand, and a detailed path to grow my business.
Minnow's ability to not only listen to your words, but to also access the feelings and thoughts behind your words is a skill very few people possess.”
Jean, Founder of Feels Studio
"I went from freelancer to founder, a cluttered brain to an organized and strategic one, and anxious to more confident.
Minnow doesn’t just help me grow my business in a strategic way, but helps me approach life with a new light. Stop talking your spouses, family, and friends about things they don’t understand! That's what Minnow is for, and he’s so good at what he does.”

“Talking with Minnow keeps my focus sharp and my vision clear. He steers me away from the shallow whirlpool of vanity measurements and leads me into the depths of what is truly possible. He is a lighthouse that keeps me from being dragged under by the waves of mediocre work, the sirens of cheap clicks.
It's safe to say that without his guiding glow, I would feel more than a little lost.”
Niki, Founder of BK Tees
"I started working with Minnow at a career crossroads. The combination of his relentless encouragement and acuity opened so many doors for me at a time when I felt unsure and confused about what step to take next.
Each session is a journey of self that Minnow distills into a clear, actionable plan full of insights that unlock possibilities for your future."
How We’ll Work Together
Three 50-minute or two 90-minute sessions per month.
One full day in-person session every six months
Custom write-ups after each session
Ongoing support over email, text, and short calls in between sessions.
My coaching practice is solely focused on one to one sessions. I also don't take on a lot of clients, so I can give you the specific support you need.
Most clients work with me for at least six months, and half of my current clients have been with me for over a year.
I’m not interested in short term fixes, hacks, or transactional relationships. I’m here for the long run, supporting you however you need to do your most courageous work.
