BIOGRAPHY
I’m a philosopher who’s passionate about understanding and living the universal truths while inspiring and empowering people to live at their highest potential. I’m also an entrepreneur who likes creating companies that change the world and I’m a Gemini who likes long walks on the beach and holding hands and spooning and cracking myself up (…but that’s another story…)

Seriously: I can’t begin to tell you how excited we are and how committed I am to building a community and a company that changes the world.

As the Philosopher & Chief Executive Officer of Zaadz, Inc., Brian’s job is to fire everyone up while setting the overall vision/strategy of the company, financing the business while driving it to profitability, and forming relationships with key individuals within the self-development community. He loves his job.

As the Founder & former CEO of eteamz, Brian led the creation of the world’s largest amateur sports site—which currently (and profitably) provides team and league web sites and a comprehensive suite of services to over 2.5 million teams from over 120 countries around the world. After spending the requisite time in “garage-mode,” eteamz won UCLA’s Business Plan competition, raised over $5 million of capital, grew from 3 to 45 employees in less than a year and was sold for over $13 million of stock and cash to The Active Network, Inc. in 2000. As Vice President at Active, Brian successfully led the integration of the two companies and set the division’s strategy before spending a few years as a philosopher, studying and teaching universal truths of optimal living and sharing this wisdom via his site, thinkarete.com and via his newsletter (that’s sent to over 10,000 subscribers) as well as his podcast and other audio material at LearnOutLoud.com.
