The Personal Holding Company

Your life is already a company. This is the model for running it like one — five subsidiaries, one board, no unaudited risk.

Most people run their life reactively, finding out something’s broken only after it breaks. The Personal Holding Company treats a life the way a CEO treats a business: as a set of subsidiaries, each with its own operating discipline.

The five subsidiaries
Personal Holding Company
You, Inc.

Operations & Risk Management
Health Co.

Risk registers and monitoring cadences, applied to your own body.

CFO / Treasury
Finance Co.

Debt, cash flow, and asset allocation, run like a turnaround.

Business Development / Revenue
Career Co.

Escalation, energy management, and knowing what to automate.

R&D / New Ventures
Venture Co.

Side bets, run as experiments with a defined cost of failure.

Governance / Board Relations
Family Co.

The people you’re accountable to — treated as stakeholders, not an afterthought.
