I'm Launching an AI Consulting Practice — Here's Why Now

I've been running operations for two businesses for the past several years. One is a behavioral health company with 20+ employees. The other is a SaaS product in the healthcare space. I'm not an engineer by trade — I'm a COO and CFO who learned to build because I couldn't afford not to.

Along the way, AI became the single biggest force multiplier in my work. Not in a "prompt ChatGPT and hope for the best" way. In a "this literally replaced 15 hours of manual work per week" way.

The Gap I Keep Seeing

Every week, I talk to business owners who know AI could help but can't figure out where to start. They've tried ChatGPT. They've watched the YouTube videos. They've maybe even hired a consultant who delivered a 40-page PDF and disappeared.

The problem isn't that AI doesn't work. It's that most people selling AI consulting are engineers, not operators. They can build you a model. They can't tell you which of your 47 workflows is bleeding $8,000 a month in wasted labor.

I can — because I've been the one running those workflows.

Why Now

The window for this work is wide open, but it won't be forever. Right now:

• Most small businesses haven't adopted AI in any meaningful way
• The tools are finally good enough to deliver real ROI in 30-60 days
• There aren't many consultants who combine operational experience with hands-on AI implementation

In 2-3 years, this will be table stakes. But right now? If you help a 30-person company save 100 hours a month, you're a hero.

What I Actually Do

I don't build custom ML models. I don't deliver decks. Here's what an engagement looks like:

1. Audit your workflows. I sit with your team and map the manual, repetitive, error-prone tasks eating their time.
2. Rank by ROI. Not everything should be automated. I find the 3-5 workflows where AI creates the biggest impact.
3. Build and ship. In 30-60 days, your team has live AI workflows — with playbooks so they can actually use them.
4. Train your people. The best automation in the world fails if nobody adopts it.

That's it. No six-month roadmaps. No jargon. Just results.

Who This Is For

Small and mid-size businesses — typically 5 to 100 employees — in healthcare, construction, professional services, or really any industry where humans still spend hours on tasks a machine could handle.

If your team spends time on data entry, scheduling, report generation, email triage, document processing, or customer communication — there's almost certainly a 10-20 hour/week savings hiding in your workflows.
