About Dakota

For most of my life, I thought something was wrong with me.

I felt stupid. I cheated my way through school. I couldn’t focus or belong.

I didn’t know how to talk about how I felt, didn’t even have the words.

I hated what I saw in the mirror. No matter what I did, it was never enough.

At 19, it all fell apart.

DUI. Minor in possession. Kicked out. Fired. Failing school.

My girlfriend cheated. High or drunk almost daily, often all day.

Barely dodged jail. Prison felt inevitable.

It felt like my life was over, and maybe it should be.

But something in me still believed I was meant for more.

I just had no idea how to access it.

Over the years, I poured myself into transformation: Landmark, coaching, leadership, and communication.

I climbed into executive roles, married the love of my life, and nearly lost it all again.

I was disciplined but miserable. Successful but exhausted and terrified.

Eventually, I started working with one of the best coaches in the world. And slowly, I came back to myself.
 

Through coaching, I created a life that I believed was previously impossible.
 

I don’t teach from theory, I coach from lived experience.

I’ve led teams, grown businesses, worked 70-hour weeks, and carried the weight of entire organizations.

I know what it’s like to succeed on paper and still feel like it’s not enough.

I don’t hold people accountable; that’s their job.

If they bring the commitment, we’ll build something fucking extraordinary together.

 

This isn’t a brand. It’s not a side hustle.

This is why I exist. This is what I’m here to do.
