We didn't set out to build a consulting practice.
We set out to build a life rooted in service — and this practice grew naturally from who we are and what we believe about people, work, and what it means to do both well.
Ernest brings the strategy: 15+ years building people functions inside startups and nonprofits, coaching leaders through the hardest moments of their tenure, and telling the hard truths that organizations need to hear. Geoff brings the body: a former collegiate athlete and NASM-certified trainer who believes that how you inhabit your body shapes how you lead, decide, and sustain yourself over time.
"People who meet us always say we're yin and yang. Ernest brings structure, strategy, and grounded presence. Geoff brings expansive energy, optimism, and the ability to make anyone feel at ease."
We founded Hustle with Heart® because we wanted to create the kind of practice we wished existed — one that sees the whole person, pairs rigor with genuine care, and delivers results that sustain rather than deplete.
Some of our clients work with both of us. A CEO who trains with Geoff and gets coached by Ernest isn't getting two services — they're getting one integrated approach to becoming a better leader and a more fulfilled human. We compare notes. We see patterns others miss.
Whether you're here for leadership strategy or embodied wellness, the destination is the same: fulfilled people doing their best work, building lives they don't need to escape from.
