Hey there! It’s not every day you find yourself shifting gears from the big league to starting up a dream, but here I am, doing exactly that with Ternus. This isn’t about chasing riches (well, maybe a little), but more about crafting something meaningful, something mine from the ground up.
You see, after years in the industry, doing more than most could in a lifetime, I found myself yearning for more. Not just in terms of wealth, but in creating something that truly resonated with me and others. It’s funny how a trip to Park City and a book could pivot your entire perspective, isn’t it? Simon Sinek’s “Start With Why” did that for me—shifted my focus from the ‘what’ to the ‘why,’ and suddenly, the blueprint for Ternus began to take shape.
Building Ternus has been a ride—exciting, daunting, and downright wild. From oversubscribed debt bonds to setting the foundation for a billion-dollar valuation, every step feels like uncharted territory. Yet, the biggest hurdle? Cultivating an in-person culture in Dallas, amidst a world veering towards remote work. I craved the camaraderie, the shared energy of a team working towards a common goal under one roof.
But here’s the kicker—being part of a mastermind group has been the game-changer. It’s a space where vulnerability, struggle, and growth coexist. My presentation at the Tampa Boardroom wasn’t just about sharing my journey; it was about baring my soul, my uncertainties, and in return, gaining insights that no book or podcast could offer. The value? Immeasurable. It’s about leaning into the struggle, embracing the chaos, and coming out stronger on the other side.
So, as I navigate this new chapter, building Ternus while keeping my values and vision in check, I’m reminded of the importance of focusing on what truly matters. It’s a balancing act—pursuing passion without losing sight of responsibilities, opportunities, and those precious moments with family.
As I gear up for what’s ahead, I’m putting some projects on hold, fine-tuning the essence of Ternus, and yes, launching that podcast to share, learn, and connect. It’s a busy, exhilarating time, and I couldn’t be more ready. Here’s to the journey, the lessons, and the countless adventures that lie ahead. Wish me luck!
