Hi, I’m KC Holiday. Company Builder & Advisor to 1,000+ entrepreneurs.

My work helps builders make the transition from doing everything themselves to leading intentionally by designing the four critical systems required to scale companies, communities, and creator-led businesses with clarity and control.

I've walked a non-traditional path to get where I am, but wouldn’t change a thing (except maybe a few hairstyles).

I launched my first business, QALO, in my early 20s with nothing but big dreams in a small LA studio.

Five years later, we’d sold over $150M of rings, made the Inc. 500, had our rings worn by LeBron James and Steph Curry, and sold in 4,000+ stores like Bass Pro Shop and REI.

After exiting, I ended my run of being a college dropout with a business degree at Lipscomb, then moved to Australia and helped run BetterLabs—a $40M venture fund and startup studio.

There, I coached founders across 25 portfolio companies in everything from FinTech to DeathTech (yep, that’s a thing).

In 2023 I went full time into coaching and became the CEO of Daily Mentor, a private mentorship group, where we mentored over 400 e-commerce brand owners on the journey from million-dollar business to 10M+ and beyond.

I left Daily Mentor in December 2205 to launch Cashmere Wolf, my current building project. Even with all of that, I'm most proud of my role as a husband to my wife Bryony and father to 3 kids.

12 Rules That Shape My Thinking

12 Rules That Shape
My Thinking

Raise Your Standard.

If you want to be excellent, you must first establish a standard of excellence in your every day. It's higher than you think.

Good.

You're short on cash. Good. You are scared. Good. You just got a big customer. Good. See it all as opportunity to be better.

Create > Consume

If all you do is consume, you’ll miss what God designed you to create, and the world misses out on who you are.

Faith Is The Constant

Life is hard. Messy. Joyful. Grueling. Magical. My faith has been the constant that allows me to continue regardless of the stage I’m in.

The Elephant Can't Stay

Run hard at conflict. Don’t let it simmer. If there’s an elephant in the room, don’t wait for someone else to get it out.

Brand Is Everything

The only differentiator in a world of copycats is your brand. When you stay true to who you are, nobody will know your next step.

If I love it, that's enough.

My opinion of my work is the most important one. Every artist has haters. Who cares. If you make it, be proud of it

Don't Know, Can't Buy

If no one sees it, no one can love it. If no one loves it, no one can help you make it better. Share what you make then listen.

Don't Know, Can't Buy

Market what you make. People can't buy what you have to offer if they don't know you exist.

Make Them Wonder

Leave some mystery. “How do you do it?” They’ll never know, and that’s what keeps them coming back.

Businesses Are Vessels

Businesses aren't your babies. They are vessels to take me from where I am now to where I want to go.
