A few weeks before my eighteenth birthday, a high school teacher dismissed my goal of becoming a CEO as unrealistic. It’s been my dream to be a CEO since age 10. Instead of being discouraged, I decided to turn that doubt into fuel. I teamed up with my dad to write a book, launch a podcast, and start a movement.

Today, the mission of Realistic CEO is no longer just about proving one teacher wrong. It is a nationwide educational initiative dedicated to empowering students from early childhood through higher education to treat their dreams like a business plan. We inspire and equip individuals to believe in their potential and pursue it with unwavering determination.

Through our multigenerational platform, which includes the children's book seriesI Am a CEO, the collegiate blueprintUNREALISTIC?, and the globally ranked Realistic CEO Podcast, we demystify the path to leadership. We provide the practical frameworks, such as the Long Lonely Boring Work, needed to overcome impostor syndrome and build resilience.

Our impact is measured in action. Since our founding in 2024, we have distributed over 17,000 books through our nonprofit organization, Realistic Lemonade, and recorded over 115 podcast episodes, placing our platform in the top 1% of podcasters worldwide.

As a father and son team of award winning CEOs, we are committed to providing the real world examples, financial literacy, and mentorship required to equip the leaders of tomorrow. Our goal is to ensure that no student ever believes their future is out of reach.
