"Wow... what a mentor. What a journey. I came to Denis, burned out, having tried 10 different businesses with limited success at each. None of them were related to tech. I'd started posting on LinkedIn and written a book on design. But I couldn't figure out how to leverage that into coaching. Over the course of a year, Denis and I met every week. Over that time I brainstormed ideas, validated them, tried live streaming, tested different content ideas, wrote, submitted CFPs to conferences, embraced my dream as a conference speaker. I snagged my first conference talk in May, this led to another conference approaching me to be a speaker. I niched down with my content, focussing on observability in Rails, which was a solution to pain I'd always experienced. I prepared a basic outline for a workshop and validated it by pre-selling at the conference at a 90% discount. To my amazement and excitement, FOUR people bought! It was only $60 but it's the first money I'd taken for my observability workshop and showed that there was a real pain. Finally! I had a niche and a product that I saw people want. People raved about my talk and it was the number one focus at the afterparty. In September I'll do my second talk and I've got CFPs in to do more. Denis has given me hundreds of creative ideas, inspiration to keep going, encouragement when I needed it most, flexibility in payments, held me accountable when I needed it most, asked hundreds of well calibrated questions to figure out what was important to me and has been a trusted ally and mentor in my journey towards my dreams. I set out a goal of getting 5 paying clients at the start of this year. I'm at 80% of my goal and it's only August. It's taken me years of striving, but I've never been closer to my dream. An incredible mentor - insane technical chops, great business savvy, excellent emotional intelligence. If you're looking for a technical mentor who can help you achieve your dreams, hire Denis."

"Ryan is a great mentor, who delivered on all the things I hoped for and often exceeds my expectations. I have reached out to Ryan after I was let go at my previous role along with all other PMs. First and foremost I was looking for somebody to give me domain-specific PM perspective in the autonomous vehicles / systems. My goals were: - Honest evaluation of my current skills and XP (compared to the expectations of top AV companies). - Skill development to fill the gaps where needed and share industry insight (the gap between my startup experience and larger companies in my domain) - Review my application materials and improve them - Help to figure out networking and generating more leads Ryan is very focused, has a clear method on getting started with mentoring by sharpening your application materials and your story – but also flexible to attend to specific needs or interview prep. He is quick to respond to any inquiry and puts in extra effort outside of the sessions you actually pay (by reviewing work or questions beforehand). In conclusion–while I am still not in my next role, and continue working with him–I am very pleased with Ryan’s mentorship. "

"If you're looking for a mentor who will guide, challenge, and inspire you, look no further than Darren. The past year has been a turbulent one with many personal and professional challenges and I am so thankful I had Darren to help me work through them. Darren not only helped me navigate them, but he also helped me reframe them as learning opportunities. I truly believe my mentoring relationship with Darren was a major driver behind the success, resilience, and confidence I've been able to experience this past year. As an expert communicator and collaborator, Darren made it a priority for us to leverage our time between meetings to stay connected asynchronously, allowing us to make the most of the synchronous time we spent together in our meetings. He worked with me to build a plan for our discussions, but was incredibly flexible when priorities shifted and I decided to take the conversations in new/unexpected directions. Our topics were diverse, ranging from specific work situations to targeted skills I was trying to build to overall life goals, and Darren was able to meet me where I was on each one to provide incredibly useful guidance, support, and advice. The combination of Darren's wealth of experience and his intentional, inquisitive, open-minded approach sets him apart as a top-tier mentor. Regardless of your specific situation, I have no doubt you'll find immense value from having Darren as your mentor. Darren has helped me grow in more ways than I could have imagined coming into our engagement, and I'm confident you'll be able to say the same for yours."
