Jeff Kolez Profile Photo

Founder of Divorce Daddy

Jeff grew up in Toronto, Canada, and found his way into the tech industry.

"I liked tech. Some even said I was good at it. While tech definitely scratched the logical side of my spirit, life felt hollow and incomplete.

I wasn’t in control of my life. I went where the highs and lows took me. I didn’t have the tools to navigate life’s storms.

Life has a way of teaching you the exact lesson you need to learn. My teacher knocked a few times, but I always ignored it. One day it arrived in the form of a nasty divorce. It was a pain I couldn’t run away from.

I was now facing a people problem. I wasn’t prepared. I had built a life that understood logic and technology, but was lacking a deep understanding of people.

Rather than escaping, I made the decision to face it. This was the decision that changed the course of my life. As a result, over time, I became more healthy, wealthy and wise.

Challenges shape us. They teach us lessons we need to learn. We shouldn’t wish them away, but use them as an opportunity to make us stronger.

I started asking deeper questions about my own life, pulling at threads looking for bigger and bigger answers.

Those questions lead to me to work with mentors like Lise Janelle, Genya Klaiman, Caroline Dupont, and ██████ ████. I have studied leaders like John Demartini, Joe Dispenza, and Adyashanti.

Having found the answers to some of my big questions, I’m continuing to build a genuine life without compromise."
