Most founders are running with narrative debt. They have shipped product faster than they have built the story for it. The deck wins on charts and loses on the page that explains who they are. The board meeting opens with traction and stalls on positioning. That gap is the work.
Twenty-five years across startups, Google, and AT&T. More than $425 million raised on behalf of clients. Four successful exits totaling over $2.5 billion. One strategist. No committees. No rotating teams.
The narrative debt framework is the subject of my forthcoming book, Nobody Knows What You Do, out in Fall 2026.Â
