What This Is

A free 30 minute consultation designed to help you overcome real challenges in your business or product. Think of it as sitting down with someone who's solved these problems hundreds of times: direct advice, practical solutions, and honest feedback.

Common Topics

Automation & AI

  • Automation challenges – "What should I automate? Should I automate this process? How do I start? What tools should I use?"
  • AI implementation – "Is AI right for this problem? What's realistic vs. hype?"

Product & Technical

  • MVP decisions – "What should I build first? How do I validate this quickly?"
  • Technical roadblocks – "My project is stuck. What's the fastest way forward?"

Strategy

  • Build vs. buy – "Should I hire, outsource, or use no-code?"
  • Codebase concerns – "Is this fixable or do I need to rebuild?"

No sales pitch. No obligation. Just a 30 minute conversation to help you get clarity and move forward.

Who It's For

This is for founders, business owners, and product leaders who:

  • Are stuck on a technical or automation challenge and need a sounding board
  • Want honest advice before committing to a big decision
  • Need to know if their idea is feasible (and what it actually takes to build it)
  • Are considering automation but don't know where to start
  • Have a failing project and need a realistic assessment
  • Want to validate their technical approach before investing more time or money

Not sure if this is for you? If you have a specific question about automation, software development, or product strategy, this call is for you.

What You'll Get

In 30 minutes, we'll:

1

Understand

You explain the problem, project, or decision you're facing.

2

Diagnose

We identify what's actually blocking progress (often different from what it seems).

3

Outline

You leave with a clear action plan, not vague advice.

4

Answer

Ask anything: technical feasibility, cost estimates, timeline reality checks.

What This Isn't

  • A sales call disguised as a consultation (if there's a fit to work together, great, but that's not the goal)
  • A generic "discovery call" where we gather requirements for a proposal
  • A 30 minute pitch for services you don't need

What You'll Walk Away With

  • Clarity on whether your idea is feasible (and what it actually takes)
  • Honest assessment of your options (including when not to build)
  • Practical next steps you can act on immediately
  • Realistic timelines and cost expectations

Why Offer This?

Simple: The best projects start with the right questions.

Too many founders waste months (and thousands of pounds) building the wrong thing, hiring the wrong people, or automating the wrong processes. A 30 minute conversation can save you from expensive mistakes.

Plus, I've been in the founder seat. I know what it's like to be stuck on a decision with no one to ask. If I can help you move forward, even if we never work together, that's worth 30 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free?

Yes. No hidden costs, no obligation to hire us afterward.

What if I'm not sure I need your services?

Perfect. This call is about your challenge, not about selling you something. Come with questions, leave with clarity.

What if my question is too small or too basic?

If it's blocking you, it's not too small. I've answered everything from "Should I use Stripe or PayPal?" to "How do I rebuild this entire platform?"

Can I bring someone technical?

Absolutely. The more context, the better the advice.

What if I need more than 30 minutes?

If we're mid-conversation and need more time, we'll figure it out. But 30 minutes is usually enough to get you unstuck and moving forward.
