Who is Hardy Brooklyn?

I am!
 
As a successful, fun-loving serial entrepreneur who’s also bootstrapped several of my own businesses, I make it a priority to leave plenty of time for family, travel, live music, and nightlife. That’s because, at my core, I wholeheartedly believe in the vital importance of human creativity, whether it’s music, visual art, performance, invention—or something yet to be discovered!
 
More recently, I launched a unique coaching practice and am thrilled to be helping diverse clients improve their lives and/or their careers. Whatever walk of life you come from—gay or straight, poly-amorous or monogamous, or still trying to figure it all out—my mission is to connect you with who you truly are and who you want to be.
 
After all, being confident in who you are is the gateway to a wonderful life and fabulous relationships! (Or is it “fabulous life and wonderful relationships”?)
