Learn Like a Leader. Teach Like a Human. Grow Like a Rebel.
If you're here, you're probably looking for something a little different.
Maybe the conventional approach hasn't worked for you. Maybe you question the way things are usually done. Or perhaps you simply want someone who takes your ambitions seriously without taking themselves too seriously.
Whatever brought you here, you're welcome.
Here is where I bring together education, business and a healthy disregard for doing things simply because that's how they've always been done.
I work with students who want to understand rather than memorise, educators who want to keep growing, and entrepreneurs who want to build something of their own.
No guru act. No magic formula. Just experience, curiosity, honest conversation and a willingness to do the work.
Whether you're a student tackling economics exams, a teacher refining your craft, or a founder growing something real my goal is to give you the mindset, tools, and strategy to move with purpose. I teach business and economics without the malarkey, coach entrepreneurs without the ego, and work with educators who know that the best teachers never stop learning. If you're ready to learn, lead, and live with integrity; this is where we start.
Are you looking for an ally in your rebellion for a cause? Want to fuel your rise with clarity, courage, and a whole lot of real talk?
Sometimes, the scenic route is the hard way.
I've lived a few different lives. From 1980s Brooklyn and Kensington to the less glamorous business of navigating addiction, loss and starting over. My story hasn't followed a straight line, and I'm not particularly interested in pretending otherwise.
I've been underestimated, got things wrong, changed direction and had to rebuild more than once. I've also achieved things I was once told I wouldn't. None of that makes me an expert on your life. But it has shaped how I see people, potential and the opportunities we sometimes overlook.

Chilli Maple Lab
Chilli Maple started as a gamer tag, then went dormant. Fatherhood brought it back to life, with my daughter as the Dean.
It's my creative space for making things, trying ideas and documenting whatever catches my curiosity. Gaming, street stories, conversations, creative experiments and projects with my daughter.
There isn't a single niche or master plan. Some things are made to be shared. Others are simply worth keeping.
Welcome to the Lab. Where Sh*t Gets Weird (And Worthwhile).
Tools I use (And YOU CAN TOO)
Ever wondered how people actually make all this stuff?
These are some of the tools I use for creating, streaming, editing and managing content. Some save me hours. Others let me experiment with things I couldn't otherwise do.
I'll share what I use, what I like and what I think is worth your money.
There's no perfect toolkit. Find what works for you, make it your own and get creating.
Think you've found something better? I'm all ears.
