The thread through it all

Different ventures. One operating instinct.

I'm drawn to the space between a good idea and the structure it needs to become real. Sometimes that means helping a team understand itself. Sometimes it's designing an AI system, building software, or bringing the right people around the same table.

The work changes. The pattern is consistent: find the signal, create clarity, and build something useful.

“The best work usually starts with a connection.”

Selected work

Three expressions of the same instinct.

01

Practical AI systems

Wild Signal

I help founders and teams turn AI from a pile of possibilities into a useful way of working.

Practical AI systems

Wild Signal

Wild Signal is where I work with people who are ready to move past AI demos and into real decisions. We look for the friction worth solving, the information already available, and the smallest useful starting point.

From there, the work can take the shape of a prototype, an internal tool, or a better operating rhythm. The goal is straightforward: give people more leverage without making their day more complicated.

Practice development

Cadence

I help consultants and coaches develop the skills, rhythms, and relationships that turn expertise into a healthy practice.

Practice development

Cadence

Cadence is a yearlong peer cohort for coaches and consultants who want to build a durable practice alongside people doing the same kind of work. Small groups meet live each month, work through a shared rhythm, and stay connected in a private community between sessions.

It sits somewhere between a course and a mastermind, with useful frameworks and real accountability without the pressure of figuring it out alone. Chris co-leads Cadence with Jeremie Kubicek and Jay Sampson.

Assessment platform

Calibrate

I built a powerful online assessment engine that help coaches, consultants, and organizations create clarity, guide better conversations, and make development more actionable.

Assessment platform

Calibrate

Calibrate is not a single off-the-shelf assessment. It is a platform for practitioners and organizations that want to turn their own methods, language, and intellectual property into a polished online experience.

You decide what gets measured, how results are framed, and what happens next. That makes it possible to create assessments that fit your practice or organization—and are useful long after someone clicks submit.

More of the work

Also building

The same way of working shows up in a few other things I'm building: helpful services, practical tools, and experiences that make life a little easier for the people using them.

Support Services

Seventy

Virtual administrative support for leaders who need capable help behind the scenes.

Support Services

Seventy

Seventy pairs busy leaders with reliable administrative support that feels like part of the team. It is built for the recurring work that tends to pile up when everyone is focused on the bigger picture.

That can mean creating order, keeping communication moving, or making sure the right details do not get lost in the shuffle. The result is more breathing room and a steadier pace for the people leading the work.

Leadership development

Craft Leadership

Leadership and team development designed for the craft brewery industry.

Leadership development

Craft Leadership

Craft Leadership was made with the people side of a brewery in mind. It gives owners and leaders a place to work through the conversations, expectations, and everyday tensions that shape a strong team.

The work respects that breweries are businesses with a distinct culture, not generic case studies. It helps teams build trust, lead with more consistency, and keep the human side of the operation in view.

Group experiences

Assembly

A platform and set of resources for elevated group experiences without the heavy operational lift.

Group experiences

Assembly

Assembly is for people who offer groups, cohorts, retreats, or learning experiences as part of their work. It helps turn a strong idea into a repeatable experience that feels thoughtful to participants and manageable for the team running it.

The platform brings the pieces together around the experience: the flow, materials, communication, and operational details. That leaves facilitators and hosts with more room to lead the room instead of chasing the logistics.

Tools I use—and recommend.

A short list of AI and other tools that have earned a place in how I think, build, and work.

Some links in this section may earn me a commission, at no extra cost to you. I only share tools I personally use and recommend.

AI - Empowered Notes

Granola AI

AI meeting notes that turn conversations into momentum

I use Granola for every meeting (online & in-peson) so can fully focus on the person I am meeting with (especially people I coach) while trusting that the details won't get dropped. It also gives me a powerful way to create follow-up emails and resources, and to prep for upcoming coaching calls.

Bulk Email + List Building

Kit

A powerful way to send bulk emails and build an audience you own

I use Kit for coaching group emails, marketing, newsletters, and building a list I own. It keeps those relationships in one place, so I can share useful work directly with the people who have chosen to hear from me. And Kit makes it incredibly easy to look good while doing it.

AI - Coding

Codex

A thoughtful coding partner for turning ideas into working software

While I use various AI frontier models, Codex has become my go to for coding & development. It's a powerful way to move from a rough idea to a tested, reviewable prototype to a working product feature. All grounded in solid development standards and useful features for ideating, building, and refining.

A little more personal

I like useful ideas, good people, and making the connections that help both go further.

I'm based in Atlanta, Georgia, and I spend my time building alongside founders, coaches, leaders, operators, and teams. I'm usually somewhere between a whiteboard conversation and a working prototype—asking better questions, connecting dots, and helping the next useful thing take shape.
