"Brent brought presence and leadership to our retreat in a way that simply blew me away. He embodies a BOLD-ness that wakes people up. He models courage, humility and awareness while operating in service of self love. There are very few humans like Brent Perkins. Engage him if you're ready to get real."
I built companies. Raised two daughters. Held it all.
Until I realized I was the problem.
I was the leader who never needed help. The father with all the answers. The "go-to" everyone could count on
What I didn't see?
My strength was creating everyone's weakness.
The need to be THE ONE nearly destroyed me. My marriage ended, my (physical and mental) health crashed, and my "indispensability" was finally visible as imprisonment (for everyone). Stepping back from being the hero didn’t just save my health, it made me a better father, lover and leader.
Today, I work with fathers who run successful companies.
I help them build capacity. Not by choosing between business, family, and themselves, but by creating the internal infrastructure to show up fully in all three.
This work starts with permission. Permission to stop performing. Permission to build capacity instead of burning through it. Permission to collapse the three-ring circus into one integrated life.
My journey has included:
CEO of multiple 7&8 figure businesses, IPO launch and failure
Led teams of 50+ across global operations
Facilitated workshops, lectures + keynotes in 37 countries
2x Inc. 5000 honoree for rapid growth and innovation
Board member: Front Row Dads
Best-selling author of 'Papercuts: The Art of Self-Delusion'
