When complexity starts winning,
judgment is the first thing that goes.

Most business problems are not information problems. You already have the information. Complexity simply makes it harder to see what matters and what happens next.

That is the work. Find what's broken. Build what's missing. Restore your ability to decide and move.

About Lou

Lou helps people regain the ability to make good decisions when complexity starts overwhelming them.

Lou Marin has worked at the intersection of finance, strategy, and implementation since 2000. He began in institutional finance—derivatives, securitization, and risk management—before founding Global Somersault in Miami in 2013.

Since then, he’s worked on more than 100 engagements across 40 industries. Real estate capital raises. Restaurant chain restructuring. Business acquisitions. Renewable energy projects. A monk building an entirely new livelihood after decades in a monastery.

The industries changed. The pattern didn’t.

Clients arrived with different problems: a growth problem, a capital problem, a marketing problem, an operations problem. Most of the time, those weren’t the real problems. They were symptoms.

The real work was helping people see clearly enough to understand what was actually happening, decide what mattered, and move forward with confidence.

When the work is done, clients can do something they couldn’t do before.

They can see. They can decide. They can move.

That’s the practice.
