The Brindley Breakthrough: Live Music Leaders
Coaching for Venue Owners, Concert Promoters, & Creative Entrepreneurs
You run a venue. You book the talent, oversee the staff, manage the chaos, and keep the doors open night after night. You’re passionate about live entertainment, but the industry is relentless—long hours, tight margins, and constant fires to put out. You don’t just need another business coach. You need someone who understands the grind because they’ve lived it. That’s where I come in.
I’ve spent decades building and running music venues, managing creative teams, and leading in high-pressure environments. Now, I help fellow venue owners, promoters, and entrepreneurs achieve what I call Whole-Life Wealth—success not just in business, but in every area of life. Together, we will break free from old patterns, optimize your operations, and help you reclaim control of your time, energy, and vision.
Your business grows when you grow.

The 5 Pillars of Whole-Life Wealth
One: Visioning
We’ll go beyond day-to-day survival mode and traditional goal-setting to create a vision for your personal and professional success. Through powerful journaling and visioning exercises, we’ll define what Whole-Life Wealth looks like for you—balancing your business, relationships, and personal well-being.
Two: Discovery
We'll take a step back and discover your Superpower, your purpose, your God-given "thing" that you both love to do and that meets the needs of the world. You will find new inspiration to start authoring a life built around your Superpower. Through meditation practice and "excavation conversation", you will now wake up every morning uplifted and energized knowing exactly why you are here on Earth.
Three: Creation
We’ll establish what I call your life's Holy Trinity:
You – Mind, Body, Spirit
Your Relationships – Family, Team, Partners
Your Work (your job plus passions) – Vision, Growth, Operations
We discuss in session and journal as homework to define what these buckets contain for your life. This work adds structure to the Visioning and Discovery pillars above as you create a life built around your Superpower. This pillar also injects balance into your day-to-day life so you no longer feel pulled in every direction, constantly wearing every hat at once.
Four: Tactical Execution
This is where things get real. We’ll tackle the immediate pain points keeping you from scaling and thriving:
Time management for venue people: how to run your business without it running you
Good & bad habits: alcohol, caffeine, sleep, exercise, and how they impact your performance
Delegation strategies: stop micromanaging, build a stronger team
Calendar mastery: reclaim your time and create space for big-picture thinking
Energy audits: eliminate the biggest drains in your business and life
Five: Maintenance & Growth
A Formula 1 Ferrari needs regular maintenance to function at the highest level, and so do you. Our favorite athletes need coaches to perform on a world-class stage, and so do you. Your business is a high-performance machine, and you need to keep it running smoothly. Whether it’s handling a difficult employee, negotiating a major deal, or navigating a career pivot, I’ll be your ongoing coach and mentor. I am here to guide, teach, and challenge you as life unfolds for you.
Why Work With Me?
Because I am you. I know the music business inside and out, and I’ve faced the same struggles you have. I won’t just offer generic business advice—I’ll provide actionable strategies tailored to the unique challenges you face.
I’ve lived it. Decades building and running music venues and creative teams (Union Stage Presents), operating in high-pressure, real-world environments.
Creative leadership with results. I managed bands for years and secured major record and publishing deals.
Mind–body–work integration. Thirteen years teaching yoga and workshops—practical tools that ground the inner game.
Coach to builders and leaders. Coaching individuals, executives, and entrepreneurs since 2023—with a bias to action and measurable outcomes.
Whole-life lens. I’m a husband and father of two; I care about success that includes family, health, and meaning—not just hustle.
High-touch support. Weekly sessions plus real access between meetings for momentum, accountability, and speed.
Now What?
Everything in my life started shifting as soon as I turned inspiration into action. Everything changed when I got the proverbial “wake-up call” — and actually listened and did something about it. This is your chance to do the same.
Click the button below to take the first step. Not next week. Not when things “settle down”.
I have a sense you already know something needs to change. You can feel it. I had to learn this the hard way: the life you want isn’t waiting around — and neither should you.
If you make the commitment to work with me through 1:1 Coaching, I’ll be there to push you, to challenge you, and to ignite the spark. Together we will create a new reality for you, one where you wake up each morning energized to make change in the world, where you finally feel rich in your career, in your family life, and deep in your soul.
You’ll discover your own Whole-Life Wealth.
