My friends thought I was crazy. My mom even hung up on me when I told her.
I was making over $200k a year at Cisco as an engineer.
Meeting with Disney, NBC, and Sony execs.
Flying around the country. Living on the beach in Venice, CA. Driving a beamer as a kid in his mid-twenties.
Sounds like I had it all, right?
I had what everyone told me was success, but I didn’t feel successful. I felt empty.
So I quit cold turkey. I left without notice, and I’ll tell you why….
One phone call can change everything.
I still remember seeing the caller ID “AJs Dad.”
“Zander… *sigh* Zander… I—I don’t know what to do. How could this happen?!”
“What happened, Tony? What’s going on?”
“It’s AJ…. He’s…he’s gone.”
“What do you mean he’s gone?”
“He took his own life last night. He’s gone, Zander.”
I had just lost my best friend of 20 years. Nothing could go back after that. I couldn’t pretend everything was good. I couldn’t live in the dark anymore.
Because in that earth-shattering moment of losing a brother, I realized one thing: Time is the one resource we can never get back.
I knew I needed to help people. But I didn’t know how yet. And in August of 2016, I left a successful corporate job to pursue the unknown as a life coach.
I know, cliché, right?
And even though I was in debt and had never built a business before, I was able to turn up a 6-figure business in under 4 months and hit my first 6-figure month within 12 months.
I had done it! I was really starting to make a dent in this world.
But something wasn’t right.
I knew I couldn’t do this alone. The world was too big. I needed help. And the other experts and coaches out there were struggling to do what I could do.
And that’s when I realized…
