Borrow the brain, skip the retainer theater.

Some problems don't need a six-month engagement — they need an hour with someone who's hit the same wall five times. SEO, content systems, web design, AI automation: bring the problem, leave with the decision.

// 01 · Why it works

Why an hour pays for itself.

Some walls take a team six weeks to climb and one call to point around. Advise, unblock, upskill — three ways the hour comes back with interest.

01

Advise

The second opinion before an expensive decision — migration, replatform, hire, agency pick.

  • Decision memos in writing
  • Vendor / agency vetting
  • Roadmap sanity checks
02

Unblock

Working sessions on the thing that's stuck — screen share, real data, we fix it live.

  • Live working sessions
  • Loom teardowns of your pages
  • Async Slack reviews
03

Upskill

Your team gets better every session — I explain the why, not just the what.

  • Reasoning walked through live
  • Frameworks you keep
  • Tool / workflow guidance

// 02 · What you're buying

You're buying answers with the reasoning attached.

I taught SEO and SEM for three years at BrainStation and it ruined me for consulting theater — I can't give an answer without teaching the why. Which turns out to be the point: my goal is for you to need me less every month.

  • Decisions in writing. Every session ends with a memo — what we decided, why, and what would change my mind.
  • No meter anxiety. Quick Slack question on retainer? Just ask. I bill for thinking, not for typing.
  • I'll tell you when to stop. If the engagement stops earning its fee, I say so first.
Drop a photo — you teaching, a workshop session, or a working session in progress.

WK 1 · Deep-dive

One 90-minute strategy session sets the month's focus — the problem we're actually solving.

Weekly · Office hours

45 minutes, your agenda. Screen share, real data, decisions live.

Always · Async

Slack + Loom between calls. Quick questions don't wait for Tuesday.

WK 4 · Readout

What we decided, what moved, what's next month's focus.

// 05 · Deliverables

What you walk away with.

You're paying for my time and my judgment — advice, not execution.

03
