About Chris Borrett
For over 3 decades, I've been navigating the entrepreneurial landscape—sometimes gracefully, often messily. Through ventures that soared and those that crashed, I've learned that the most important business decisions are rarely about business at all.

My hope is that by sharing these stories, you might recognize similar inflection points in your own path—or perhaps gain the clarity to create one.
