No coaching certificate. No course funnel. Just a few conversations a quarter with people serious about compounding capital, building cash-flowing businesses, or repositioning around AI.
Search funds, ETA, SMB acquisition, lower-middle-market PE. How to find the right operator, the right business, and the right structure. What I've learned cofounding Search Fund Ventures and SMB Investor Network and writing checks since 2020.
How to build cash-flowing businesses without raising venture. The math of a one-person firm with leverage. Picking the right wedge, the first ten customers, and when to actually hire. I've done this a few times — including a nine-figure outcome.
AI as the new transistor. What's coming next, where the value accrues, and how to position. Useful if you're a builder choosing a stack, an operator deciding what to automate, or an investor choosing a thesis.
How to read an offer, what equity is actually worth, and how to negotiate the comp package that compounds. Especially for $200K+ earners trying to convert salary into ownership.
Personal capital allocation across cash, public markets, private deals, and reserves. How I think about portfolio construction at different net-worth tiers. No nonsense about lifestyle gurus or financial-independence podcasts.
What the path looks like after FIRE, after the exit, after the ladder gets pulled away. How to deprogram from linear narratives of success and build something that compounds in your own direction. The conversation most people don't get to have.
Tell me where you are, what you want, and what you’ve already tried. I read everything personally and respond to what looks like a real fit. I take a small number of mentorship engagements at any time.
