Create. Correct. Continue

Create. Correct. Continue. is a systems-based keynote for building and maintaining momentum: drawn from cycling 22,000 miles across 31 countries and leading product teams through complex transformations.

Most people get stuck after the first push. This talk offers a clear framework to keep moving forward—no matter what you’re building.

In this session, we’ll cover: • How to launch before you’re ready (and still win) • When and how to make course corrections without losing steam • How to keep showing up when the initial buzz fades.

This talk is ideal for startup teams, creatives, and leaders who want to build cultures of thoughtful iteration and relentless forward motion.

Key Takeaways

Start before you’re ready—motion reveals the truth | Correction is strength, not failure | Progress is a loop: try, adjust, persist | Iteration is a life skill, not just for work

The Origin Story

The Origin Story

The Origin Story

I didn’t invent the loop in a vacuum—I lived it, on the road and across my life.


I had dreamed of cycling from China to Portugal for over a decade. Hosting other travelers planted the seed, but the real shift came when I finally committed. Once I chose the trip and said yes, the fantasy became a project. Then the real work began.


I had to plan the route, sort visas, dial in my gear. But once I started pedaling, the real learning began. I’d pick a path, realize it was wrong, and adjust. I’d push through, shift my rhythm, and recalibrate my expectations.


It wasn’t about perfect planning. It was about doing, adjusting, and persisting. That’s how the loop emerged:


Creation: do the damn thing.

Correct: be ready to adjust.

Continue: keep damn going, every mile counts.


This framework didn’t come from a business book - it came from 10,500 miles of lived iteration.

Breakthroughs & Impact

Breakthroughs & Impact

Execution over perfection: I learned that I didn’t need the perfect plan to start - I needed motion. Movement revealed the gaps, and quick correction created progress.


Momentum compounds: The loop taught me that consistency, not certainty, is what builds. A wrong turn corrected quickly is better than getting stuck. I saw this not just on the trip, but in angel investing, flipping classic cars, and writing this book.


Universality of the loop: Whether I was crossing a continent, building a product, or chasing a goal, the same pattern kept showing up:


→ Start,

→ Adjust,

→ Persist.
