    164: I Ran a Coaching Business AND a Hedge Fund - Here's What Happened

    In this episode, I share what I've learned from simultaneously running a 7-figure coaching business and launching Tiger Rock Capital Management, my hedge fund. I walk through my journey from working as the first outside hire at a hedge fund in 2013, to building my coaching practice in 2016, to scaling it to consistent six-figure months, and finally launching my own fund after putting up strong returns in 2023-2024. Key lessons covered: Why one business is more than plenty (and when two might work)How the core skills of entrepreneurship transfer across completely different industriesThe critical importance of saying NO to the wrong clientsWhy you need a world-class operational partner before starting a second businessHow grit and resilience matter more than industry expertiseWhether you're thinking about starting your first business, scaling your current one, or considering a second venture, this episode breaks down the realities of what it actually takes.
