Stop running on thrust. Build the systems that maintain founder velocity without founder burnout — in 4 focused weeks.
Join the Sprint — $3,500Limited to 8 founders per cohort for direct access and implementation support
You understand you need to delegate. You know you can't do everything yourself forever. You've probably read a dozen leadership books.
But understanding isn't the same as installing. And without implementation, you're still the engine. Still the bottleneck. Still running on thrust.
You delegate, things break, you get pulled back in. The cycle repeats because you're handing off to people who don't think like owners.
"I'll build systems when things slow down." Things never slow down. The milestone keeps moving. And you keep pushing.
Advice feels generic. "Hire an integrator." "Build process." "Let go." None of it accounts for your specific situation.
Your energy is depleting. You're not burned out yet. But you can feel the trajectory. And it's not sustainable.
The Sprint isn't a course. It's implementation. Every week, you'll install one system that moves you from thrust to orbit — with direct support every step of the way.
Before you can escape thrust, you need to see exactly where your energy is going — and where it's leaking. We'll run a full diagnostic on your calendar, decisions, and capacity.
Delegation fails because you're handing off to Users (people who consume velocity) instead of Builders (people who create it). We'll assess your entire team through this lens.
You're the bottleneck because information has to route through you. We'll install communication systems that create visibility without requiring you as the router — including the "Bad News First" protocol.
This is escape velocity. We'll build the operating infrastructure that generates its own momentum — culture, ownership structures, and rhythms that maintain velocity without your thrust.
90-minute live working sessions each week. Small cohort (max 8 founders) ensures everyone gets direct attention and hot-seat time.
Private Slack/Voxer channel for questions between sessions. I respond within 24 hours, usually faster.
All templates, assessments, and frameworks from Leadership Orbit — calibrated for founder implementation.
Full diagnostic tool to assess your entire team. Includes scoring rubric and conversation guides.
7 other founders navigating the same transition. The right room accelerates everything.
Weekly commitments with check-ins. You'll actually do the work, not just learn about it.
I'm the Founder and Managing Partner of MBL Partners, a private equity firm. I'm also currently serving as interim CEO of one of our portfolio companies.
That means I operate in "Founder Mode" while simultaneously building for "Manager Mode." I live in both worlds every day.
Leadership Orbit came from 25 years of watching leaders burn out trying to scale — and finding the physics that actually work. The Sprint is how I help founders install those physics.
4 Weeks to Founder's Orbit
100% Implementation Guarantee: Do the work for 4 weeks. If you don't have clarity on your path to orbit by the end, I'll work with you 1-on-1 until you do.
Plan for 3-4 hours per week: 90 minutes for the live session, plus 1.5-2 hours for implementation work. The work is designed to fit into a founder's schedule.
Sessions are scheduled based on the cohort's availability. Typically Tuesday or Wednesday, 12pm or 5pm ET. You'll get the schedule before committing.
All sessions are recorded. But presence matters — the cohort dynamic accelerates implementation. I expect at least 3 of 4 sessions live.
Neither, exactly. It's implementation. You'll learn frameworks, but the focus is on installing them in your specific business with direct support.
Implementation requires attention. With 8 people, everyone gets hot-seat time, questions answered, and real engagement. Larger groups become courses.
Apply anyway. The application includes a short questionnaire. I'll review it personally and we can jump on a 15-minute call if there are questions about fit.
The next cohort starts February 10th. Only 8 spots available. Apply now to secure your place.
