Co-founder & Chief Rainmaker at Mid-Day Squares

Revenue: Approx. 3.16 Million USD/month
Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada

I stepped down because I was a terrible operator and manager. I was constantly playing to my weaknesses rather than my strengths. Stepping down allowed me to focus on storytelling, making noise, and building connections, while my partners handled the backend execution.
