Executing with AI
An eclectic background makes me good at non-obvious AI prompting for deeper and more creative solutions.
Positioning & communication
Articulating your work in ways that inspire emotional responses from the people who matter — customers, investors, collaborators, and your own community.
Capital & connections
Introductions to funders and operators who might be a fit for what you're building. On rare occasions, I might invest, too.
Step One: Clarity Week
Two 60-minute sessions, one week apart. The first opens up the territory — where you are and what matters most to you. The week between lets real ideas emerge, on your side and mine. The second session turns that clarity into direction and concrete next steps. Good for founders, creators, and thoughtful people at an inflection point.

About
I used to help people figure out their lives. Now I help them figure out their businesses, too.
My background is eclectic: philosophy, a year in the Amazon jungle, clinical training as a therapist, a year in startup land, and some venture work along the way. What that adds up to in practice is pattern recognition, direct feedback, an operator's instinct for what's working and what isn't, and a network I'll draw on when it's useful — including introductions to capital when the time is right.
People skills are my greatest asset — not as a soft add-on, but as the medium through which real clarity emerges. I help founders think better, feel clearer, and move forward with more courage, because they don't have to carry it all alone.
