About
Hi there—I'm Alex Hughes. I'm a startup advisor, product development leader, and writer based out of Nashville, TN. I’ve spent the past 12+ years building exceptional teams and products across multiple tech companies in a range of environments, from enterprise to grow-stage startups, reaching millions of users.
I’ve been writing articles about authenticity, entrepreneurship, and growth since 2014. My work has been featured in publications like Daily Stoic, Mind the Product, Built In, Thrive Global, and The Mission, among others.
In 2024, I published my debut nonfiction book, Authenticity Is Your Now, which explores authenticity as a moving target. The book arms you to create, lead, and operate at your best by moving with life rather than clinging to something that no longer serves you and features stories of more than 35 artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, leaders, and scientists. Each chapter reveals how exceptional people from all walks of life navigated their own search for meaning to bring themselves back into focus, create something worthwhile, and allow their voices to evolve.
