The Solomon Project

Jack, Adam and Heather open a box made from the Tree of Knowledge and discover a powerful truth that can save us from Oblivion.

Jack believes we must focus on fixing our emotional and mental health, and fast. From mind-interrupting chemicals to emotional instability, bad parenting, and a broken education system; time has come to make this our top priority. “We’re not prepared for the technology we are creating. We must build the Solomon Project, before it’s too late.”

But Jack’s foster brother, Adam Lawson, now President of the United States, offers a different solution. Instead of fixing society, he builds The Wall—banishing society’s worst offenders beyond it. Murderers and rapists first...and then, others. Adam has an agenda of his own – to test humanity’s sanity, cruelty - their right to continue to exist at all.

I’ve spent nearly three decades guiding leaders, organizations, and entrepreneurs through pivotal moments of transformation from Fortune 500 boardrooms to grassroots mentorship programs.

My passion is helping people turn complexity into clarity, whether it’s redefining financial strategy, building dynamic teams, or shaping leadership cultures that last.

Along the way, I’ve learned that real impact isn’t just about technical expertise or impressive titles—it’s about forging genuine relationships, investing in others’ growth, and creating environments where trust sparks innovation.

My journey has taken me from advising C-suite executives on major change initiatives to mentoring young professionals preparing for their first leadership roles. What drives me is seeing people thrive when the right frameworks, human connections, and actionable ideas intersect.

I bring stories, lessons, and strategies that go beyond the numbers and help listeners elevate both their business and their legacy.

Over the years, I’ve worn many hats—husband, father, physical therapist, business owner, coach, mentor, and teacher. Each role brought challenges, insights, and breakthroughs that ultimately led me to my true calling: helping leaders and entrepreneurs unlock clarity and growth through coaching.

For nearly three decades, I built and ran two busy physical therapy clinics—navigating recessions, crises, and industry shifts—before selling my business for a significant multiple. That journey taught me what it really takes to move from burnout and survival to scaling, thriving, and exiting with success.

Today, as a certified executive and business coach, I bring those hard-earned lessons to entrepreneurs and leadership teams. My work blends strategy with mindset—helping people cut through the noise, find the root cause of their challenges, and create practical paths toward bigger visions.
