Office hours

    Thirty minutes. I find where your growth leaks.

    Free, and it ends at thirty minutes. You send your numbers ahead of time, I read them, and on the call I tell you the real constraint, which line of spend to cut, and the first moves to make. I have run this diagnosis across a traditional business, a startup, and a public company. The pattern repeats.

    How the thirty minutes goes
    • 01I pull your funnel and unit economics apart with you. Fast.
    • 02I tell you the real constraint, which is usually not the channel you think it is.
    • 03You leave with the first two or three moves, in order, whether or not we ever work together.

    What you leave with. Whether we work together or not.

    What a customer actually costs you, and how long that money takes to come back.

    The one number that is lying to you, and the line of spend I would cut first.

    Whether your growth problem is the channels or something upstream of them.

    Why the read is fast

    The channels usually aren't the problem.

    Most people arrive certain the answer is a new channel or more spend. It rarely is. Growth leaks somewhere upstream: a funnel that captures nothing, an offer that is mispriced, a business renting all of its demand from one platform, or an unfair asset the owner is sitting on and not using.

    I have spent years watching where a customer gets expensive and where a company quietly becomes dependent on its founder. That is what makes the read quick. Send me the intake and I show up already knowing where to look.

    The intake

    Five short steps, the same questions I would ask on the call. Estimates are fine and you can skip anything. What you fill in is what I work from.

    Start here

    What are you building?

    Your answers save as you go. Free, and it ends at thirty minutes.

    What does it cost?+

    Nothing. It is thirty minutes of office hours, and it ends at thirty minutes.

    Why all the questions before we talk?+

    So the thirty minutes is spent on answers, not on me catching up. I read what you send first. The more real your numbers are, the sharper the read you get back. What you fill in is what shapes the session.

    Is this a sales call?+

    No. You get a straight diagnosis whether or not there is any reason to work together. If there is, I will say so at the end and you can decide later.

    What if I don't have the numbers exactly?+

    Estimates are fine, and you can leave anything blank. Rough figures still show where the money is going and what it is buying. Not being able to find a number is itself a finding.

    Who is it for?+

    Anyone spending real money or real effort to grow: a traditional business, a startup, or a public company. If you have not started acquiring customers yet, the growth calculator will be more useful than I will be.
