About Nick Hodulik

Nick is a startup founder and executive coach, consultant, investor, entrepreneur, and polymath.

Nick launched his first startup at age 15 and proceeded to work at and found a variety of others. Most of them failed. One of them, General Things (GT), a software and design consultancy, succeeded. GT served clients like Nike, NatGeo, Cisco, SETI, TED, and GoPro.

GoPro considered GT – and Nick – irresistible, and in 2013 Nick sold GT to GoPro, where he then served as VP of Software and Services. GoPro went public shortly thereafter.

At some point, Nick realized that he had been running full tilt since that first startup at age 15, and decided it was time to change gears. He left GoPro in 2015 to travel the world; reflect on where he had been and where he was ultimately going; and to consciously and deliberately choose a new path forward.

Nick now coaches startup founders and executives on how to do exactly that: create the life they have always wanted amidst the exquisite chaos of starting, growing, and running companies.

Nick is also a bodybuilder; an encyclopedia of random, non-sports-related facts; a voracious listener, reader, and eater; and a lover of all humor, high and low. He travels about half of the year, cooks most of his meals (and likely some of yours, should you ever meet), and wears white t-shirts to everything. He lives in Los Angeles with his husband and business partner Jonathan “JT” Taylor and their dog Madame Wu.
