Assistant to Robb Pike & Defender of Smart Strategy

Grizz isn’t here for fluff. He’s the calm in your chaotic board meeting, the bear who knows the difference between wishful thinking and a solid plan.

In this course on Projections vs. Goals, Grizz stands by Robb Pike as your trusted, no-nonsense assistant—making sure your board knows when to dream big, when to plan smart, and when to stop confusing hope with a forecast.

He’s got a playbook in one paw and a projection sheet in the other. He believes in big vision—but only if it’s backed by wisdom, preparation, and a healthy dose of reality.

Grizz says:

“Set your goals like a kid on Christmas. Make your projections like a grown-up with a mortgage.”
