Hi, I'm Felix.
I never planned to become a leader.
16The school choir
At 16, someone asked me to run the choir at my school. I said yes — I had no idea what I was getting into. That was the day I stopped just making music and started leading people. I just didn't know it yet.
My first task: get thirty teenagers to stand still for a group photo. Afterwards, I went to the bathroom and threw up.
That's how it started.
RestaurantThey picked me
After school, I still hadn't figured out what to do with my life. Music school? Maybe. Not sure. So I took a job at a restaurant.
A few months in — same thing happened. The team needed a leader. They looked around. They picked me.
Now I was leading people who had been working longer than I had been alive. And I needed to figure it out.
1 → 2 → 3restaurants
One restaurant became two. Two became three.
24Leadership consultant
At 24, I became a leadership consultant for the first time. Why me? Because I had done something rare: I had built teams that wanted to stay — in an industry where nobody stays.
I walked in with no formal training. No certification. No playbook. Just years of real-world experience — and a list of mistakes long enough to fill a book.
Turns out — that's exactly what it takes to write one.
Here's what I know for certain:
I never applied for a single leadership position in my life. Every single one came to me.
Not because I was the loudest in the room. Not because I fought for it. But because I learned — the hard way — what it actually takes to make people want to follow you.
