You are curious, ambitious enough to think you can change the world, and humble enough to know that the road from here to there will take many unexpected turns.

You have strong intuition, yet you're open to experimentation and being proven wrong when the evidence presents itself.

You want a hands-on partner that will complement—not compete with—your role as a founder or leader and who will work side-by-side with you (and your teams if you have them) to equip and uplift your ability to achieve early product-market fit and scale.

I do not have pre-set timelines, because every relationship and situation can require something different to create success. I have an array of proven approaches, tools, and tactics I use, but the engagement we undertake to create value specifically for you is fit to purpose.

That said, with every engagement my commitment to you is the same as I would have to my own products as a product manager: to solve meaningful problems and produce value for you as early, consistently, and often as possible.

For incubation services, we would typically expect to see results within 30-60 days, assuming that we have direct and consistent access and engagement with potential users and customers. You'll have confidence that we're heading towards that value within the first week of the engagement.

For acceleration services, if you have a specific issue and a willing team, we could complete an engagement in days and start to see early indicators of success in a week. If, however, you have more complex and entrenched issues, we would expect to see initial results in weeks. In those scenarios, leadership reinforcement and role modeling will be critical for producing meaningful results.

For activation services, we would expect to see initial results within 30 days, assuming full commitment and reinforcement by all executives across the organization.

Again, these timeframes are estimations and depend on the unique factors of your organization.

We are different from most consultants you work with in that we do not use costly up-front assessments or require you to adopt heavy operating frameworks to generate meaningful and lasting results.

We have helped countless teams and organizations succeed by equipping them with the methods, disciplines, and habits to create focus, alignment, and shared context. Our success flows from teams taking ownership for how to implement and sustain those items, not from imposing them top-down or from the outside.

Unlike most consultants—who want you to buy and implement their pre-determined solution—I put your goals and solving your problems first.

I bring my unique background in product management, B2B business leadership, culture shaping, talent development, and change management to not only figure out the path forward, but to create a more engaged, connected, and committed team through the work that we do together.

With me you'll never get a canned solution thrown over the wall, and you'll never feel like you're on an island to solve your problem on your own. You'll have a partner you know is in the trenches with you and who is as committed as you are to your purpose and mission.

And when we're done with our work, your team will say, "wow, look what we did together," and not, "wow, look what Brian did for us." Our work together is about enabling the best in your teams and your people so they can do their best work together, not about putting me in the spotlight with your team.

Let's have an initial conversation about what you're trying to accomplish and how I might be of value to you.

If we believe I can be of value to you, we will define your desired product or business milestones for our work, then we'll get started.

For ongoing engagements with monthly retainers, I require the first month's payment before starting work and payment before the next 30-day period begins. In these engagements, we will stop billing with 45-days notice from either you or us.

Should we set up a fee-for-service engagement, I require payment in full before starting work, unless the engagement is for $100,000 or more, in which I require half before starting work and equal payments of the balance each month for the expected duration of the engagement.
