Reach out.

Specific things I'd love to hear about, and a few I don't need another of.

Love to hear from you if

You're hiring for an AI leadership role.

Head of AI · AI Director · AI Practice Lead at a services or B2B SaaS company in the 100–2,000 person range, where the role owns both architecture and adoption.

You're a founder figuring out AI strategy.

10–50 person companies trying to figure out where AI fits. Not adding chat, not replacing customer service, but rebuilding the operating model.

You operate a real local-services business.

Anything with phones, technicians, and a real P&L. I want to compare notes on AI-built operating systems. The Wild Pest is the working example.

You work on production agent reliability.

Failure modes, drift, eval honesty, multi-model routing. Always open to comparing notes with people who've shipped real agents.

You've read one of my essays and want to argue.

Push back, extend a point, or tell me where I'm wrong. The full archive is here.

You're a journalist or podcaster covering AI in the real world.

Especially stories about AI inside non-tech businesses. I have a builder voice, not a thought-leader voice.
