This Is Not For Everyone

Let me keep it real with you.

I pride myself on being a transparent entrepreneur. I am not for everyone. But where I can truly make a difference is if you are building a CPG brand in the fragrance, beauty, or wellness space.

That is where I have the receipts, the contacts, and the scars.

If that is you, keep reading. If it is not, my free content is available on Instagram.

You Know This Feeling

Who Am I To Answer?

The receipts. Both kinds.

In 2020, my wife Jackie Aina and I launched FORVR MOOD. We sold 20,000 candles at launch. I will be the first to admit we had a head start: Jackie built a decade of trust with her community, and when we opened the doors, that trust showed up. I will never pretend that spotlight was mine. It was hers, and it was earned.

But here is the thing about having a big audience: they do not run the company, and they do not guarantee it survives. You still need the systems, the team, and the infrastructure. The product manufactured correctly, margins that actually work, freight that lands on time, and a business that holds up when things break, and they will break. That is my job, and it still is.

Six years later: bootstrapped, still 100% founder-owned, a multi-million dollar brand, in Sephora stores across America. Most creator brands do not survive their first launch. Ours did, and I can show you exactly why, because I made the mistakes personally and I wrote down what they cost.

Most people selling advice show you their wins.
Let me show you my Ls first.

Every line below is real, and every line is now a system, a template, or a contact you get on day one.

$50K/moPersonal Guarantee

The Warehouse

I signed a 4 to 5 year lease on a 35,000 sq ft warehouse. $50K a month, with a personal guarantee. If the business failed, they were coming for my house. I escaped by sublease, and it taught me the line I now live by: making millions don't mean you're rich.

Six FiguresExpired Stock

The Write-Off

Forecasting errors cost us hundreds of thousands in expired stock. I have a system for that now. You get it on day one.

Six FiguresMissing Clauses

The Contract

Missing supplier agreement terms (delay penalties, separation clauses) cost us hundreds of thousands more. That paper is in the member vault, so it never costs you.

~3xThe Right Call

The Ocean Freight

I once paid roughly 3x a shipment's cost: $15K instead of $5K. I did not understand the costing until I found an expert.

Every number above is money I actually lost. One sentence from someone who had been there would have saved me most of it. That is the whole reason this exists.

How It Works

Three steps. No fluff.

1

Ask.

Pick from the menu (sourcing, finance, product development, marketing, logistics and more) or just ask a specific question.

2

Get my answer in 48 hours.

Not a webinar. Not "great question, let me point you to module 7." My actual answer, for your actual situation, usually with the exact numbers, contacts, or paper you need.

3

Act, then ask the next one.

One Unlock at a time.

Why one at a time?

Honesty: it protects my focus so every answer gets my full brain, and it means you are never stuck in a queue behind a hundred other people. When your question is answered, the next slot opens.

The kinds of things founders actually ask me

Real questions, from real conversations. Yours may be similar or different based on your business needs.

Product Development
  • "Am I paying too much? Review my COGs."
  • "Recommendation on parfum concentration level vs pricing."
  • "What product testing is essential?"
  • "Custom tooling price is expensive. What should I consider to lower the cost?"
Finance
  • "Here are my numbers. Is my product profit margin actually healthy?"
  • "What platform do you recommend to manage my product sales tax?"
  • "Should I raise money from investors?"
  • "How much should I budget towards trademarks?"
Marketing
  • "What would you recommend to drive brand awareness with my budget?"
  • "Review my marketing campaign and give me feedback."
  • "Which platform should I use to discover top-performing creators in my industry?"

Questions You Are Probably Asking

Asked and answered.

"Why only fragrance, beauty, and wellness?"
Because that is where I can genuinely help you. I have spent the last 6+ years building FORVR MOOD across manufacturing, retail, 3PLs, fragrance houses and team-building, so when you ask me a question in these categories, you get an answer rooted in real operator experience, not generic business advice. I would rather go deep in the industries I know than pretend to be everyone's business coach.
"What if my question is outside your lane?"
I will tell you straight, and not waste your time and money. If you are not satisfied with any answer I deliver, you can request a full refund.
"What happens when I sign up?"
You join the No Gatekeeping community and start receiving founder tools, resources and insider tips straight to your inbox. You are also added to the member waitlist. When a spot opens up, I will email you your membership options and pricing, and you will have 7 days to decide if you want to claim your seat. If you do not respond by then, you roll off the priority list.
"Why one question at a time?"
It keeps every answer sharp and it keeps this honest. I am not selling you a seat in a stadium. There are limited spots because I personally answer every single question.
"Will I be charged?"
Signing up is completely free. You are only charged if you choose to onboard once a spot opens up. At that point you will have two options, a monthly subscription or a one-time request, and pricing will be shared by email. You are never obligated to continue, you can cancel any time, and if you are not satisfied with any answer I deliver, you get a full refund.
"Is the free content going anywhere?"
No. My free advice stays free, and it will keep coming. This is for founders who want me in the weeds with their own business.

You are going to build this brand either way.

I know, because I have seen you in my comments and my DMs for years. The only question is how many expensive lessons you pay for at full price on the way, when I already have the receipts.

Take control of your own destiny. Get on the list.
