Entrepreneurial Guide
EDUCATION
I earned my MBA from Kingston University and built a solid career in the corporate world—on paper, it was everything I was supposed to want. But while it provided stability, it never gave me the financial or geographic freedom I truly craved.
That freedom didn’t come until much later, after retirement, when I stepped into the digital world as what some might call a digital immigrant. It wasn’t always easy, but over the past five years, I’ve learned more—about business, technology, and true independence—than I did in the fifty before it.
Now, I’m here to share that experience with you. Because I’m living proof that lifelong learning isn’t just empowering—it’s the key to building a life on your own terms.
EXPERIENCE
As a Baby Boomer, I spent my career in both the public and private sectors, operating at Board level and crafting profitable strategies for major corporate entities. I also built and led my own successful franchise business as CEO for 18 years.
When I retired, I expected to slow down—but instead, I had a realization: the world had moved on faster than I imagined. Suddenly, the knowledge and experience I’d spent decades building felt out of sync with the digital age.
I had so much to share, yet no clear way to share it. That’s when I became what many would call a digital immigrant. I chose to learn, adapt, and fully embrace this new world—and it transformed my life.
Now, I help others do the same. Whether you’re feeling left behind or simply ready for something new, I’m here to show you how lifelong learning can unlock both relevance and freedom—no matter your age or background.
Let me show you how I did it—and how you can too.
