High Performance Rebels · A Rise & Rally Program

Done guessing.
Ready for a plan.

Book your 15-minute read. A real conversation about where you are and what the next move is. No pitch. No deck. No diagnostic personality test.

What to expect
  • You talk. I listen for the patterns, breakdowns and potential solutions.
  • I tell you what I'm hearing — direct, and unfiltered.
  • If there's a fit for my team to help, I'll say so. If there isn't, I'll say that too.
Who this is for

If any of these sound familiar:

  • You're staring at the sales pipeline trying to figure out why some deals close and some go quiet, and you don't know what to do next.
  • You're tired in a way sleep doesn't fix, because every decision still lands in your lap, and you don't know what to do next.
  • You're carrying the stress of conversations you need to have — with the person who checked out, the one who's overextended, the one you should've promoted six months ago, and you don't know what to do next.

You're in the right place.

01 / The cost

What guessing costs.

  • Lost revenue and 18-month windows burned on the wrong hypothesis.
  • A business that runs because you do — not because the structure does.
  • The change that happens on someone else's terms. Or doesn't happen at all.

Most owners don't lose because of a bad market. They lose because no one ever helped them sequence the right moves.

02 / The work

Two stages we work with.
See yourself in one?

→ 01
Earlier Stage

Reading a new market.

You've launched. There's activity. Incoming requests. Data. You can't yet tell whether it's traction, noise, or the wrong signal entirely. Capital and time are going into hypotheses no one's validated.

→ 02
Approaching Transition

Closing the gap.

You know the model isn't fully dialed in. The team is executing inside the machine instead of building its structure. There's revenue — but no sequenced path to the next move you want to make (scale, sell, merge).

Sound familiar?

You're probably running into one of these three.

→ Sales

You can't tell what's working. Leads come in. Some close, some ghost. You've tried three messaging angles and two pricing structures. You can't see the pattern, so you can't repeat the wins or cut the losses. The pipeline feels like weather, not a system.

→ Operations

You're the bottleneck and the brakes. Every decision still routes through you. The team executes, but they can't move without a check-in. You wanted leverage. You built a job that pays way less than the one you left.

→ Team

Leadership is breaking down quietly. Someone's checked out. Someone else is overextended. You're managing personalities instead of building a structure that holds without you in the room. The hard conversations keep getting pushed to next week.

None of these mean you built the wrong business. They mean you've outgrown the version of it you started with.

On-Demand Room for High-Performance Rebels

The Rebel Roundtable.
1 Hour a Week. No Fluff.

Most business cohorts are classrooms in disguise: lectures, forced networking, and theoretical homework. You don't need a lecture. You need a room where you can drop in, lay out the current issue, and leave with the exact sequence for your next move.

The Rebel Roundtable is an on-demand, high-leverage weekly strategy room for founders navigating Stage 1 or Stage 2 traction.

The Format
60 minutes, once a week. Live, direct, and completely unfiltered.
The Mechanism
You drop in when you need a read on a bottleneck. You bring the raw data, the messy pipeline, or the team breakdown. Jade parses the pattern and hands you the play.
The Commitment
$50 donation to Queer Business Alliance (sliding scale options, just ask). No long-term lock-ins. Weekly access. No contract or terms.

This is for you if: You don't need an entire 3-hour diagnostic right now, but you want a trusted, high-caliber room to collaborate in.

Join the Roundtable
03 / The plan

How this works.

  1. 01

    A real conversation.

    We talk through where you are, what you're building, and the move you're trying to make. 45 minutes. No pitch deck. Just a real read.

  2. 02

    Choose your track.

    The Rebel Roundtable. Drop into our weekly, 1-hour high-performance strategy room for real-time course corrections. $50/session

    The Strategy Intensive. A 3-hour deep dive to build your 3-month sequenced playbook — with the option to scale into the multi-day Denver Retreat Intensive for year-long strategic alignment.

  3. 03

    Run the plays.

    You leave with the moves, the order, the metrics, and the structure. Not someday. Tomorrow.

04 / About

Built from three exits.
Not from a book.

Jade built, scaled, and sold three businesses across service, SaaS, and enterprise tech. Three industries. Three models. Three exit scenarios.

One throughline: figuring out what drives teams, profit, and scale — so owners get what they wanted from the business in the first place.

That's the foundation of HPR. Not theory. Not a framework pulled from a book. A real set of plays built from three full build-and-exit cycles, refined into something other owners can use without learning some of the expensive lessons Jade did ;)

05 / 90 days in

What this looks like 90 days in.

  • You know which signals to read and which to ignore.
  • The next 3 to 6 moves are sequenced — not a list, in priority order.
  • The team is building structure, not just running the machine.
  • The transaction you want has a real path attached to it.

Less guessing. Less drag. A business that's moving toward the thing you want to achieve.

06 / Listen

Stop guessing. Start listening.

Rewiring the Game — conversations with founders, builders, and operators who broke the standard playbook to scale on their own terms.

What happens when you trade rigid certainty for the "squish" of the unknown? Jade sits down with clinical social worker, professor, and licensed natural medicine provider Dr. Amanda Baranski (who also happens to be Jade's wife) to unpack the regulated psychedelic space. From overcoming severe postpartum depression through ketamine therapy to opening Denver's 34th licensed micro-healing center, Amanda shares her philosophy that "life informs learning, and learning informs life." They dive into the science of neuroplasticity, the necessity of therapeutic integration, and the squishy ethics of rewriting our earliest, self-limiting stories to find our lifelong "pause."

In 1992, Tina Reynolds started Uptown Studios from her house with one computer, no clients, and no roadmap. Twelve years later, she hired a 19-year-old Jade from behind a restaurant counter, sparking a 20-year journey of mentorship, queer leadership, and business building. Now 77, Tina joins Jade to trace their shared history and explore a "Say Yes" life philosophy. They dive deep into the unglamorous admin hustle that fuels big-picture creativity, campaigns that literally save lives, and the lessons learned from decades on the front lines of activism — from the AIDS crisis to Prop 8. It's a fierce call to action against complacency and a masterclass in building a business on your own terms.

Both stages start with a real conversation.

15 minutes. Real read on where you are. No pitch.
