About
Twenty years of shipping, and one better question
I'm Brett Ingram — founder and CEO of Levrige LLC, host of the optYOUmize podcast, and a coach to founders and teams who want growth that doesn't cost them everything else.
The short version
I've spent two decades in digital entrepreneurship. I founded and built Levrige LLC, where I've created more than 20 software products that have generated over $5 million in software sales and another $2 million in affiliate sales.
Along the way: a single launch day that crossed $100,000 in revenue, 50+ bestseller list appearances, 29 Product of the Day awards, and five years named JVZoo Top Vendor of the Year. Joel Comm included me in The Rockstars of JVZoo.com.
I have an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business — strategy, finance, leadership and change management — and a BS in Business Administration from Bryant University in marketing and finance. I've coached executive, sales and content teams at IMPACT, working with businesses doing $3M to $50M, and advised hundreds of entrepreneurs on product strategy and growth.
The turn
Then the question changed
For most of those twenty years the question driving everything was how do I do more? More products. More launches. More revenue per day. It's a question that answers itself endlessly — there's always another increment — and for a long stretch I was very good at answering it.
What I eventually noticed is that it's the wrong question. Or at least, it's a question that can only ever produce more of the same answer. The one underneath it — the one I'd been skipping — is simpler and much harder: what does a genuinely good life actually look like for me?
That's the premise of everything I've built since. Not less ambition. Different aim. True optimization is not about maximum output. It's about maximum alignment.
It became the optYOUmize podcast and platform, organized around the seven domains where that alignment actually gets decided: mind and inner life, body and vitality, purpose and meaningful work, relationships and connection, money and financial wellbeing, time and rest, and growth and self-becoming.
I still build software. I still run launches. The difference is what they're in service of.
