Entrepreneurship, Growth & The Responsibility to Lead

03/13/2025

Building something from the ground up changes you. Running Onward Upward Digital has taught me that true leadership is not just about decisions—it is about responsibility. It is about protecting, investing, and ensuring long-term success. And lately, I have realized something even bigger:

  • The way I run my business—the way I protect and push it forward—mirrors something deeper about who I am and where I am headed.

Building Something That Thrives

When you truly care about something, you do not just support it—you invest in it. You push it forward. You make sure it has everything it needs to succeed. Whether it is a business, a team, or a kid stepping onto the field for their first game, the goal is never just to "get by." The goal is to thrive.

That responsibility—the drive to build, protect, and guide something toward success—is not just business. It is a mindset. A way of life.

Leadership is More Than Business—It is a Commitment

When I take on clients, I am not just offering a service. I am making a commitment to their growth, their success, and their momentum. Their wins matter. Their progress matters. That instinct to invest in something greater than myself has reshaped my thinking in ways I never expected.

And it is making me realize that leadership is more than business—it is about stepping up in life. The same drive to build and protect that fuels me as an entrepreneur will carry into every role I take on in the future—including the possibility of fatherhood one day.

One Life. One Shot. Give It Everything.

Onward Upward Digital has grown into more than a business. It is a testament to resilience. To stepping up. To ensuring that what you create is given every opportunity to succeed. And as I continue forward, I know this truth:

  • I do not back down. I do not let anything threaten what I have built. I do not play it safe.
  • Success is not just about reaching goals. It is about responsibility, commitment, and creating something that lasts.
  • Every client. Every project. Every decision.
  • It all matters.
  • I am all in.
