Full Story
The layoff is the origin. It is not the identity.
Lead Like A Lion frames the public setback as a starting point, then moves into the permanent work: leadership, family, faith, operational discipline, community, and the next chapter.
-
Origin
Harlem to the formation years
The early story matters because it explains the standard: pressure, family, survival, discipline, and a refusal to stay down.
-
Service
Army veteran, Iraq 2003
Military service sharpened the operating principles that still show up in his leadership: preparation, accountability, and mission focus.
-
Operations
The warehouse floor
Two decades across logistics, supply chain, continuous improvement, and large teams turned those principles into measurable results.
-
Platform
Lead Like A Lion
The public comeback became a leadership platform: book, newsletter, community, media, consulting, and tools for people in transition.

Positioning
Not a resume site
The site does not lead with job search language. It leads with the leadership platform and lets the career
story support the larger mission.
Tone
Executive and permanent
The visual system stays tactical and premium: restrained copy, strong contrast, and a platform architecture
that can scale.
Current Chapter
The mission continues
Spreetail is treated as a chapter in the story, while Lead Like A Lion remains the umbrella brand.
