About
A married pair of co-founders who have been the lawyer, the finance lead, the operator and the owner.
Co-founder
Josh is a lifelong entrepreneur with 25 years in business and finance, including hedge fund management and Wall Street trading. He has practiced as a corporate attorney for the last 15 years.
He brings the view from the lawyer's chair: how businesses are structured, funded and protected, and where they tend to go wrong.
Co-founder
LeeAnne is the Chief Operating Officer of mental health and substance abuse treatment facilities, with 10 years of C-suite experience and years more as an owner and operator.
She brings the view from the operator's chair: the people, systems and daily decisions that make a business run.
Together
Josh and LeeAnne have founded and run multiple businesses together, including their law firm, Pearce Shambach, and Pearce Group. Motion to Launch is where they share what that has taught them, so other founders can move faster and avoid the expensive lessons.
Structure is freedom. The right entity, agreements and systems are what let a founder focus on the work.
Plain language wins. If advice cannot be understood, it cannot be used.
Motion matters. One clear next step, taken this week, beats a perfect plan that never starts.
