Men building something amazing — both at home and in business.

I Built a 7-figure Business. Then It Broke Me.

Hi, I’m Jake.

Husband for 18 years.

Father of 3.

3x Founder.

For years, I chased success the way most entrepreneurs do — working insane hours, always hustling, constantly pushing for more.

And for a while, I thought I had figured it out. I built a 7-figure business, managed high-performing teams, and scaled companies. On paper, I was winning. But the truth?

I was always distracted. Always working. Never fully present.

I told myself I was doing it for my family. But the reality? They were getting the leftovers of my time and energy.

Then it all came crashing down. My business failed.

I had spent years tying my identity to my work, and when it was gone, so was my sense of purpose. I went completely dark—shut down my social media, avoided conversations, and questioned everything.

It took losing the thing I thought defined me to realize how broken my priorities had been.

The wake-up call wasn’t just about business. It was about life.

I had built something that owned me. I had sacrificed too much. I wasn’t going to do it that way again.

So when I started my next company, I made a promise to myself:

I would build differently this time.

No more sacrificing family for success. No more working harder instead of smarter. No more chasing numbers while missing life.

That’s why I created Husband Father Founder—a community for men who want to build successful businesses without losing themselves, their marriage, or their relationship with their kids.
