How I operate

I set the agentic example. My people hold the bar.

I use agents to sharpen the decision and move repeatable work faster. People keep the judgment, context, and accountability.

The rules

AI helps me think better, then do more.

Start with the right question.

Get clear on the decision before asking AI for an answer.

Give it the context.

Situation, people, outcome, constraints — and a role that fits the problem.

Ask it to interview me.

Questions one at a time, before a recommendation. The interview shows what I left out.

Challenge my thinking.

Test the assumption, find the weak argument, make the case for another path.

Turn insight into action.

A specific task, a definition of good, then I review against the outcome.

Own the decision.

Agents draft. People decide what leaves the building.

Influenced by Geoff Woods’ The AI-Driven Leader.

The operating circuit

A four-stage operating circuit. Diagnose the constraint, architect the system, automate the repeatable work, then compound the result into the next cycle. Human judgment stays on the decision. Repeatable work moves around the loop.

Start with the constraint. Build the system around it. Automate only the repeatable work, then use the result to make the next decision better.

The fleet

An agentic GTM brain built by agents and executed by humans.

Reporting and pipeline, chief-of-staff duties, marketing drafts, wikis, dashboards, the revenue brain. Each agent is its own service with its own tests. Every send waits at a human gate.

Outputs included: Quarterly Rocks Dashboard, Essentialism Planning, GTM wikis that powered social media posts, and a customer graph built from connected systems data.

Revenue Brain

Business signals from CRM, calls, email, Slack or Teams, documents, social, and product telemetry enter the Revenue Brain. Synthesis, extraction, and matching happen in the hub. Human review gates and an oversight layer sit on the work. Outputs are pipeline, content, and reporting.

Signals in. Human-reviewed synthesis in the middle. Pipeline, content, and reporting out — with judgment still at the gate.
