I remember sitting in Houston traffic, paused at a crossroads along I-10, the skyline stretching out. I had started my career on Wall Street at JPMorgan Chase & Co., and after more than 20 years in corporate America—Shell’s global valuation was $20.66 billion when I left—I had traveled to over 40 countries, even delivering my first keynote in Spanish in Mexico. One manager told me, “If you never do anything else, you’ve already done enough.” But I wasn’t finished. I was an intrapreneur, but I needed to return to entrepreneurship to live my WHY—challenging the status quo. I left at the top—what some might call career suicide—to build Brand Rebirth. I help leaders who look polished outside but are hurting inside, building brands from the inside out. And this is why I speak.
