About John
Welcome to my profile! I'm the CEO & Co-Founder of Leland—a platform that has helped millions of people reach their most ambitious goals, raised $20M from top investors like Forerunner and GSV, and was a Forbes 30u30 recipient in 2022. Prior to Leland, I worked in product at Uber, LinkedIn, and Curated. I attended Stanford GSB for my MBA< BYU for undergrad, and now live in Lehi with my wife, Karli, and four boys. I love working with people who are wanting to build a company, work at startups, apply to product roles, apply to top MBA programs, or just accelerate their career in any way. Looking forward to getting to know you!
Why do I coach?
I coach because I love helping people reach their goals. As the oldest of 5 siblings and now father of 4 boys, I've always felt excited about mentoring the next generation. If you are looking for a champion, someone willing to be in your corner and help you succeed, I'm your guy.
