Independent · Vendor-Neutral · Flat-Fee

AI advice from someone who's actually run a business.

I've built 10 companies and owned 7 franchises. Now I help business owners cut through AI hype and find what actually saves time and money. Vendor-neutral. Flat-fee. No jargon.

Free call. No pitch. If AI isn't right for your business yet, I'll tell you.

The problem

AI is a mess for business owners right now.

01

You know AI matters, but don't know where to start.

The tools multiply weekly. Blog posts contradict each other. Meanwhile your competitors are already experimenting.

02

Every "AI expert" is selling you their software.

Most advisors are dressed-up affiliates. Their advice is whatever pays the fattest referral fee this quarter.

03

You can't afford a full-time AI hire.

A senior AI lead costs $200K+ a year. Your business needs practical answers, not a payroll line item.

Ready · Set · Go

Why ReadySet.AI

The advisor other advisors don't want you to hire.

01

Operator, Not Theorist

25+ years actually running businesses. This isn't a career pivot from consulting.

02

Vendor-Neutral, Zero Kickbacks

I don't resell software. No affiliate deals. No commissions. Ever.

03

Outcomes Before Technology

Every recommendation is tied to a dollar figure or a saved hour. Cool tech alone is not the goal.

04

Flat, Transparent Pricing

Fixed fees you see upfront. No hourly meters. No surprise invoices.

About the founder

A quarter-century of building. Zero patience for AI theater.

I've spent 25+ years in the trenches — starting, scaling, and selling companies across services, retail, and franchising. I've made payroll on hard weeks. I've bought and operated 7 franchise locations. I've had 5 clean exits. When I recommend an AI tool or workflow, it's because I know what it costs an owner in time, money, and sleep — not because a vendor is paying me to say it.
