Welcome Opportunity!

👋 New here — built & sold multiple companies, retired at 45, now all-in on AI

I built and sold multiple businesses to multi-million-dollar success and retired at 45 — all without AI, just strategy and hard execution. Then my family and I sailed around the world (UK to New Zealand, 46 countries).

The operator track record, in brief:

→ Scaled a specialist safety firm to multi-million-dollar revenue, 50+ staff, over 18 years — then sold it

→ Founded and ran an e-commerce business alongside it

→ Led state-level delivery for a global sporting event (national governments + organising committees)

→ Chaired my industry's trade association and helped write the British Standards still in use

I know how to find clients, price on outcomes, build teams, run a P&L, and turn a messy idea into a system that makes money.

What I'm here to master is the one tool I never had: AI.

Two things I'm here for:

→ To share the operator playbook most builders are missing — finding clients, pricing on outcomes, systems, hiring, scaling. Ask me anything on that.

→ To find people to build with. I've got live commercial ventures and client projects that need serious AI work — lead-gen and sales-conversion engines, ops automation, and custom agents.

I'm the operator and the principal: I bring the strategy, the clients and the budget. I'm looking for the people who can build it — full-time professionals and agencies who can own delivery end-to-end and point to real client outcomes, not tutorials.

If that's you, comment below with what you've actually shipped for a client and I'll DM the ones who fit. And if you can build but stall on the business side — comment that too, that's exactly where I can help. 👇
