I built Contractor Training Center into a nationally dominant brand in 5 years, then discovered how AI could have made it 10x faster. Now I help founders implement AI Operating Systems that scale without adding headcount.
I thought I was smart. I built Contractor Training Center from nothing into a nationally dominant brand in just 5 years. We scaled to multi-millions, dominated our market, and I eventually sold the business. By every measure, it was a massive success. Then I sold it to one of the largest Private Equity groups for almost 8-figures.
But here's what I didn't realize until years later: I did it the hardest way possible.
I was working 80-hour weeks, personally involved in every decision, and had built a business that completely depended on me. Every process was manual. Every system required my input. Every decision flowed through me. I had created a job for myself, not a business.
Don't get me wrong - the business was profitable and successful. But I was trapped inside my own creation.
Then I discovered AI.
Not the flashy stuff you see in the news, but practical AI that can actually run business operations. I realized that systems I spent years building manually could now be built in weeks. Decisions I made personally could be automated based on my criteria. Processes that required constant oversight could run independently.
The revelation hit me like a ton of bricks: What took me 5 years to build through pure hustle and manual systems, AI could have helped me build in 6 months.
But more importantly, it would have given me something I never had as a founder - freedom.
That's when I partnered with Rick Ables to create Build and Scale, and developed what we call the AI Operating System. It's not about replacing humans with robots. It's about creating systems that think and act like you, but scale infinitely without burning you out.
If you're a successful founder, you probably recognize this pattern:
Early Stage: You wear every hat, make every decision, and personally drive every outcome. It's exhausting but exciting.
Growth Stage: Success brings complexity. More customers, more employees, more decisions. You hire people, but somehow you're busier than ever.
Scale Stage: The business is successful by every metric except one - you're more trapped than when you started. Growth means more of your time, not less.
Sound familiar?
Here's what most founders don't realize: You're not stuck because you're doing something wrong.
You're stuck because you're doing everything manually in an AI world.
Your competition isn't just implementing better marketing or sales strategies. They're implementing AI Operating Systems that handle the complexity of growth without adding to their workload.
While you're personally reviewing proposals, they have AI doing it instantly. While you're manually analyzing performance data, they have AI providing insights in real-time. While you're trapped in operational details, they're working on strategy because AI handles execution.
The choice isn't between growth and freedom anymore. With an AI Operating System, you can have both.
After selling my business and diving deep into AI, I realized most founders think about AI wrong. They think it's about tools - ChatGPT for writing, automation software for processes, analytics tools for data.
But that's like trying to build a house with just a hammer.
An AI Operating System is different. It's a connected, intelligent system that:
Thinks Like You: Uses your decision-making criteria, your business knowledge, and your strategic priorities to make choices automatically.
Acts Without You: Executes processes, manages workflows, and handles operations based on the systems you've designed, not your constant input.
Learns Continuously: Gets smarter over time, recognizing patterns, improving performance, and adapting to changes without your intervention.
Scales Infinitely: Handles 10x the volume without 10x the complexity, because intelligence replaces manual effort.
Think of it as building a co-CEO that never sleeps, never takes vacation, and never makes emotional decisions.
The result? You work ON your business, not IN it. Growth becomes a strategic choice, not an operational burden.
This is where strategy meets implementation. I partner directly with founders to design and implement complete AI transformation systems.
