I met Megan before my first company, before UCaaS, before AI was even a dream. She’s been in my corner for every late night, every tough decision, every leap of faith. Our anniversary this year isn’t just a milestone, it’s the blueprint for how I show up in business.
Humility, trust, and persistence are values I learned at the dinner table, not the boardroom. When a founder says “I did it alone,” I shake my head. My real secret weapon? The support I get at home. Megan’s belief in me especially when things got hard helped me bounce back, again and again.
One fun fact about Megan and her support is that while she did retire 18 years ago, she was a Bad Ass corporate rocket. Starting at an entry level accounting position and climbing the fortune 50 corporate ladder to private ✈️🚁 rides into the office…her support comes with real life experience.
Every venture I’ve launched, from Networking Solutions, Inc. to StratusDial to UponAI, carries her fingerprints. She’s the behind-the-scenes champion who never asked for credit but always delivered the ultimate ROI: resilience, perspective, and a reason to keep going. That’s what turns a founder into a leader.
Business wins are great, but the partnership that lasts beyond the headlines is what matters most. If you’re building something big, take a moment to celebrate your own champions, family, friends, mentors. They’re the quiet force behind your success.
Who is in your corner?
What’s one milestone you’re celebrating this year?
