    AI strategist who works with founders

    The strategist you call before the AI decision.

    I help founders and executives at $5M+ companies decide what to buy, what to build, and what to leave alone.

    We produce messaging through media interviews that fuels AEO, SEO and brand-voice brains that give you a personalized experience with AI tools.

    Digital strategy since 1998. I teach companies to build an AI brain with Omi, Obsidian, Notion, Grok Claude and ChatGPT.

    HighLevel CRM + Automation

    How do I check if my live page still matches approved copy?

    Compare the approved copy to the live page line by line and sort every difference into BUILT, DRIFTED, MISSING, or UNCONFIRMED. Rank the drifted items by one question: does this line contradict what we sell? Fix those first. An AI prompt can run the comparison in minutes if you forbid it from guessing.

    Agentic System Install

    How do I limit what an AI agent can do in my business?

    Start every agent with narrower permissions than the task seems to need, and widen them only after it proves reliable. Put a human checkpoint in front of anything touching money, customer data, or outside communication, and log what it decides. Then list every action it can take without your approval and cut that list in half.

    Websites + SEO/AEO

    How do I handle the 'I already know this' sales objection?

    Answer it with a number the buyer can check. When she thinks your offer is an attitude she already holds, replace adjectives with measurable commitments, such as a reply time or a monthly score. She agrees with attitudes and pays for what she has never measured. Audit your sales page for attitude claims and rewrite them.
