§ 01 — The long version

My journey

Nothing here was a hobby. Every step was a job I actually had, a bill I actually paid, or a bet I actually made — which is the only reason I can tell you what's worth your time.

Learning what actually breaks

Fifteen years scaling marketing inside category-defining brands — ending as Ecommerce VP at Supergoop! and Chegg. I sat in the rooms where things shipped, and the rooms where they didn't.

I bet the VP seat on it

I walked away from the multi-six-figure title to go all-in on AI. Not a side experiment — the whole bet, with two kids and my husband home. So it had to work.

Teaching it forward

I've tested the forty tools, burned budget on the ones that don't work, and kept the handful that do. The fix is rarely the model — it's the system around it. I do the 1,000 hours. You get the shortcuts.

That's my story. What's the thing you keep putting off?

No discovery-call gauntlet, no 40-slide proposal. One email, one honest answer about whether I can actually help.
