Well hey there! 😊 👋🏽

I'm Greyson and if you're here, you're probably familiar with that exhausting cycle of grinding yourself down in the name of building something meaningful. I've been there more times than I'd like to admit.

Two years ago, I made a choice that shifted everything. I decided to figure out how to build a career that didn't slowly destroy my health. For years, I was caught in a relentless pattern of burnout and insufficient recovery, rooted in some good old-fashioned trauma and what I mistakenly thought was the price of ambition.

We're talking 80+ hour workweeks, debilitating anxiety, panic attacks and health issues that genuinely concerned my doctors.The wild part? This was actually a significant improvement from where I'd been years earlier. My health then?

Well, it was bad. Like, really bad.

We're talking barely-able-to-crawl-out-of-bed-some-days bad.

The misery pushed me to take charge of my health, working with different practitioners and exploring medical literature to uncover root causes. It wasn't a quick fix and healing certainly isn't linear, but by 2022? Getting out of bed was finally manageable.

That profound shift in quality of life became a catalyst for everything that followed.

While excelling in a full-time design role in tech, I also became a certified integrative nutrition health coach and a Certified High Performance Coach. Today, I'm the co-founder of a digital design agency built on the belief that success doesn't have to come at the expense of happiness and well-being. I chose to stop sacrificing my health for my career. Today? I’m designing a career that supports it.

If this resonates, then you’re in the right place. This newsletter is for founders who are tired of the "grind or die" mentality. Every two weeks, I share practical insights and honest reflections about what it takes to thrive. You don't have to choose between your health and your ambitions and I’m here to share how I manage both.
