I've been an entrepreneur for over 15 years, and sold my previous business for 7 figures, however taking on new start-ups in new sectors took its toll on my health both mentally and physically, I was hitting walls for the first time. Once I started working with Nico, he helped me fix my health and also showed me all the things I was doing wrong when trying to raise capital, invaluable coaching. He's an amazing guy to have in your life and will definitely support you, both my wife and I are forever grateful.

People are seeing the benefits, and they’re talking about it with others. I haven’t seen that kind of dynamic in many other benefits we put in place for our team. I think it’s a great sign that this program is resonating, it’s impactful, and it’s positive.
