I'm currently working on starting my own company. Dexter's newsletter content has helped me a lot with tool suggestions and practical advice from some interesting individuals with different paths to success. Portfolio Path helped me discover new AI and other tools to speed up my workflow. Subscribing to the Portfolio Path newsletter is a no-brainer.

Fractional CTO

I landed my second client as a fractional CTO on a 50-hour-a-month retainer. The Launchpad guided me through thinking about my offering thanks to its Notion workbooks, which motivated me to reach out to more people—leading me to my client.  


I had been working full-time with a single consulting client on the side. I wanted to scale my consulting but was not excited by the idea of looking for clients or thinking about what I can offer. 


 This Launchpad is great if you've been thinking about consulting or part-time work for a while but didn't know how to start. The timeline, workbooks, and check-ins will keep you engaged and motivate you to implement your consulting goals.

Edtech Growth Consultant

I landed a consulting project with my former employer right when I needed it. More than that, I regained confidence. I wrote a LinkedIn post that reconnected me to people I hadn't spoken to in years—some of whom later became collaborators or leads (a coaching client!). I also finally launched my first website after procrastinating on it for three years. 


Before joining the Launchpad, I was stuck in a kind of limbo. I had left my full-time role about seven months earlier and had ideas brewing, but no clear structure to move them forward. 


Launchpad gave me a strong, structured path to follow—something I really needed at that moment. I felt consistently supported by Dexter and Lily. I wasn't just thinking, I was building, experimenting, reaching out. And that made all the difference. 


 If you're stuck, overthinking, or unsure how to move from ideas to income, this program gives you the clarity, structure, and support you need. And by the end, you'll realize you were always capable. You just needed the right launchpad.

I'm working on creating a coaching program based on my social content (Wealth Building). Before the blueprint, I waited 6 months before publishing a guide and sales stalled after 2-3 months. The blueprint gave me the framework to test and helped me create a test first habit. I've shifted my mindset from 100% ready before testing to action first, adjust as you go! .

I'm an ex-Big Tech employee who wanted to explore a Fractional COO role and I secured my first client during the cohort. It was comprehensive, providing me a step-by-step structure on how to frame my offer, including looking for my target clients and executing on it. The weekly office hours also helped me with asking questions about real life experiences.

Dexter is a knowledgeable coach leveraging his extensive product knowledge to inspire senior professionals to launch consultancies and build a portfolio career. I discovered Dexter through his newsletter, sharing tips and stories every Sunday about pivoting from "live to work" to "work to live." He also offers 1:1 coaching, where I found a lot of value refining my big “why” and roadmap.
