Take a real two-week vacation.

Your team handles it, and your phone stays quiet.

Sound like your week?

Why the plan is still sitting there.

Why it stallsWhat changes in the Residency

The week wins.

Getting things off your plate takes quiet time, and a busy week eats quiet time first.

The time is on your calendar, and we do the work in the session.

It lives in your head.

Writing down how you do something is slow and a little painful to do by yourself.

You talk it through, and the AI tools turn it into a playbook.

It has no deadline.

Clients have deadlines. Your plan doesn't, so it slides to next month.

A small group of owners is expecting you, and so am I.

Mondays · 11 to noon CT

The Operating Room

Heads down. You talk through how something gets done, and you leave with a finished playbook. Your team is welcome.

Each month, one more thing comes off your plate.

  1. Find itPick the next thing that keeps the business tied to you.
  2. Get it outTurn how you do it into a playbook, in the session.
  3. Hand it offSomeone on your team owns it and runs it.

Your first handoff happens by the end of week one.

Team seats

Bring your team.

The person taking over the work hears it from me, not secondhand. No more playing telephone, and the playbook is theirs from day one.

Add team members for $997 each. You still come. Your team comes with you, not instead of you.

The math

What staying the go-to person costs you.

1 month

The same email, the same answer, the same little fire. Add those up and more than a month of your year disappears.

About what that month is worth if your time's worth $200 an hour.

About what each week of waiting adds to the pile.

I won't promise you a number. I will measure yours on day one and day 90, so you can see it for yourself.Research from Dr. Gloria Mark at UC Irvine found it takes about 23 minutes to refocus after an interruption.

Questions

You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

“I don’t have time for this.”

That's usually the reason it needs to happen. Plan on a few hours a week, live sessions included. The work gets done in the sessions, so it doesn't pile up on your weekend.

“I’m not an AI person.”

You don't need to be. If you can explain how you do something, you can do this. The tools run inside Claude, so you'll need a paid Claude account, and we set it up together on day one.

“Is this an AI course?”

No. AI is one of the tools, not the subject. The work is getting the business out of your head and into your team's hands, with a small group of owners and me in the room.

“Will my team actually use it?”

That's the point of the handoff. A playbook isn't finished until someone on your team owns it and is running it. Bring them to The Operating Room and they help build it.

“Can I bring my team?”

Yes, and we recommend it. Team seats are $997 each. The Strategy Session stays owners only, so you can talk freely.

“Do I need to take the Freedom Lab first?”

The Lab is a great place to start, because you leave with your 90-day plan. If you haven't taken it yet, we'll talk through the best starting point for you on your call.

“What happens after the 90 days?”

Graduates can join The Owner Fellowship, with monthly Freedom Rounds, to keep it running and build the next layer.
