AI Consulting for the Independent Operator
Most small businesses have spent hours tinkering with AI and have nothing to show for it. The difference isn't trying harder — it's knowing whether you need help thinking, organizing, working, or building. Pick the right one or two tools for that. Ignore everything else.
Why Block & Tackle
There are hundreds of AI tools out there, with more launching every week. Most small business owners have spent real time — and real money — experimenting with them, only to end up frustrated with nothing to show for it.
The problem isn't the tools. It's the order of operations. Before you pick a single tool, you need to know what kind of help you actually need. Do you need AI to help you think through a problem? Organize your knowledge and projects? Work faster on execution? Or build systems that run without you?
Answer that question first, choose one or two tools that fit, and ignore everything else. That's the whole game — and that's what I help you do.
Research, decision-making, writing, brainstorming. AI is remarkable at being a sharp thought partner when you're stuck or need a second opinion fast.
Meeting notes, SOPs, client records, project tracking. Get your information out of your head and into a system that actually surfaces the right thing at the right time.
Drafting content, answering emails, handling customer questions. AI as a tireless co-worker who does the repetitive parts while you focus on the things only you can do.
Workflows that run on their own. Connections between your tools. Processes that scale without hiring. This is where AI pays for itself many times over.
What I offer
Every engagement starts with understanding your business — then we find the highest-leverage place to apply AI. Here's how most clients get started.
A focused 90-minute deep dive into your current workflows. You'll leave with a prioritized list of where AI can save you time, money, and headaches — plus a clear roadmap to act on it.
Pick one repetitive task that's eating your time — client onboarding, invoicing, content creation, inbox triage — and we'll build an AI-powered workflow around it together in a week.
Monthly 1-on-1 sessions to build your AI skills over time. We'll work through real challenges in your business, keep your tools current, and make sure you're actually using what's out there.
Build a repeatable content system using AI that sounds like you. Blog posts, email newsletters, social content — we'll create a process you can run in a fraction of the time.
Overwhelmed by the options? I'll cut through the noise and tell you exactly which AI tools are worth your money given your specific business, budget, and goals.
I'll build and configure a custom AI assistant tailored to your business — trained on your voice, your products, your FAQs — that you can use for customer support or internal knowledge.
How it works
I know your time is your most valuable asset. Every engagement is structured to move fast and deliver value from the first conversation.
30 minutes. You tell me about your business, your bottlenecks, and what you've already tried. No sales pitch — just honest conversation.
I'll put together a specific recommendation — which service fits best, what we'd focus on, and what you can expect to get out of it.
We work through it together. I explain everything as we go, so you understand the system — not just how to run it, but why it works.
When we're done, you own it completely. I'll make sure you're confident before we close out, and I'm available if questions come up later.
About
I'm an AI consultant focused entirely on the part of the market that the big firms ignore: the solopreneurs, the small teams, the business owners who are doing everything themselves and just need a knowledgeable friend to point them in the right direction.
I've spent years working at the intersection of business operations and emerging technology. I've watched the AI space go from hype to genuine utility — and I know how to separate the signal from the noise.
My approach is direct and practical. I'll tell you when something isn't worth your time, and I'll make sure the things we do build together actually work for your business, not just on paper.
