Executive coach and repeat CEO

Co-founder and CEO at Practice; NY Times bestselling author. I've started many companies, including Breather, for which I raised $150m and got to Series D before handing it to a hired CEO. As a coach, I take on a few select first time CEOs who I coach on finding customers, building a team, running a business and raising venture financing. I have coached founders who have been funded by the world's best venture firms, including A16Z, General Catalyst, Craft Ventures, First Round Capital, Khosla Ventures, Y Combinator, and more.

"The single best thing I did last year."

Working with Julien has truly been a game changer for me. He pushes me to get ahead of future issues while also having the deep operational background that helps me with the day to day. Julien helps me to articulate my weaknesses, the impact that they have on my company and to construct plans to resolve them. But most important, I know for a fact that I'm a better CEO because of my work with Julien and that my company has materially improved through our work together.

Julien's advice literally led to a six figure two book deal with a publisher, and that was before I worked with him as a coach. In the time I've worked with him, he's helped me get focused and prioritize the handful of things that would have a tangible impact on our business. And the advice from two of our calls caused my revenue to double between July and August of 2022 for ONE of our products. Needless to say, there are few people whose advice I trust as much as his and this is coming from a guy who has interviewed over 1000 people, many of who include best-selling authors and billionaires. If you're thinking about working with him, do yourself a favor and hire him. It will be an investment that pays off for years.

I worked with Julien for two years, and during that time he helped me start, scale, finance and hire into a new company. Julien has a way of cutting through the noise to give meaningful, actual advice that is specific to the situation. I've never worked with an executive coach who's been able to create so much value in weekly sessions. Highly recommended.
