Agentic Mindset Coaching

I'm going to skip the part where I tell you AI can and will transform your work and your life. You've heard that spiel, and possibly even given it to others. What you haven't done yet is experience personal coaching from someone who builds with AI every day. That's why I developed this product: to transform your mindset and skills around AI, and help you build real confidence about the subject.

For the executives I work with, confidence isn't in short supply. You've probably built yours over years of battles won, bouncing back from short-term failures, and genuine reflection. And now with the advent of the AI Age, facing a confidence deficit can feel frustrating. Nobody around you will tell you what you don't know, because you sign their paychecks. Your team sends you AI summaries written to sound impressive, but not to help you actually learn.

There's a gap between having poked around with ChatGPT and actually having a hands-on understanding of what's possible, what's nonsense, and where it all fits into your specific business. Closing that gap is more lucrative than most people realize!

What I built

I've spent the past 17 years at Revolution Prep, a successful ed-tech company, building systems that help people learn. For the last two of those, I've been building with AI every single day. Wiring up agent workflows, stress-testing tools as they ship, running AI systems that handle thousands of user interactions a month.

I studied physics at UC Berkeley and haven't used a single equation since. What I learned was more useful than any equation: how to build a working model of something you don't fully understand yet, test it, and refine it until you do. That's what I do now, except the thing I'm modeling is how AI actually works inside a real business.

When you've built an agentic mindset, you'll understand AI well enough to see opportunities without needing someone to point them out. You'll look at due diligence, portfolio reporting, customer onboarding (whatever your world looks like) and spot where an AI agent could cut 40 hours of manual work, or dramatically expand your org's capabilities to win. You'll sit through a vendor pitch and know whether they're describing something real or peddling slop.

From experience training others, I know this mindset doesn't come from reading articles or watching videos. It comes from getting your hands on the tools with someone who builds with them every day.

How it works

You get me and all my expertise, focused entirely on coaching you and building your confidence around AI. About 6 hours of focused onboarding in your first few weeks, then 12 months of support as you put your new mindset and skills to use.

Map the territory

I'll walk you through the AI tools as they actually exist right now. What they do, what they can't do, how they all fit together. I'll strip the marketing language off and show you what's real underneath.

Map your world

We sit down and explore your workflows, your bottlenecks, your team. I'll show you what I'd build if I were sitting in your chair.

Build and practice

From the first session, you'll have your hands on keyboard, building real AI workflows specific to your work and life. I'll be there to show you the optimal learning path and tee you up to dive deeper in the areas that matter most to you.

After we work together

What you'll be able to do:

Hold the room on AI in your next board meeting with the confidence that only comes when you're speaking from direct experience.
Evaluate a vendor proposal around AI and know whether they're building something real or selling you slop. You'll ask the key questions that make them show their true colors.
Spot efficiency gains your team hasn't found yet, and direct them to go and build thoughtfully.
Make AI investment calls with your own judgment instead of borrowing someone else's, and have me as a trusted advisor who can give you an impartial call around AI when you need it.

Questions

Do I need a technical background?

Nope. Most people I work with come from finance, operations, or deal-making. If you can learn to read a balance sheet, you can learn to build an AI workflow.

What's the time commitment?

About 6 hours of onboarding spread across your first few weeks. After that, 12 months of support: bring questions, share vendor pitches, work through new problems as they come up. It fits around an executive's busy calendar.

How do I know if this is a fit for me?

It's not a fit if you're looking for a performative certificate for LinkedIn, or a passive experience. If you're checking a box, this will feel like a waste of time for both of us. If you're trying to get good at something, we'll get along great.

Can my company pay for this?

Most companies have professional development budgets that cover exactly this. I can provide whatever documentation or invoicing your org needs.

Let's talk.

In 30 minutes I'll learn about your situation, you'll get a feel for how I think and coach.
