Claritybeforevelocity.

I help people onboard the AI moment — with purpose, not panic.

Philosophy

Directionless Velocity

Most people talking about AI right now don't know where they're going either. They're just running faster.

AI does not create clarity. It amplifies what is already clear. If you don't know what to amplify, AI just multiplies confusion.

The correct order matters.

01 — Clarity

Focus

Who do I help best? What do they get specifically from me? Why me?

02 — Container

Offer

A talk, workshop, journey, blog, service, product, SaaS, or app — whatever you can imagine.

03 — AI

Amplifier

Turn a talk into a structured program, extend reach, increase leverage without draining you.

AI should feel like "Oh… this makes my work lighter." Not heavier.

Speaking

Speaking & Workshops

I bring PhD-level AI understanding to stages and boardrooms — grounded, practical, and human.

A practitioner's course on using AI to think, write, create, and share with impact. Not hype. Grounded. PhD-level clarity made practical.

What you'll master

01

AI Mindset

Why most people use AI wrong — and the mental shift that changes everything. Understand how AI talks, thinks, and acts.

02

Origins: The GPTs

Where AI democratization began. Understand tokens, context, and memory — then build your own custom GPT from scratch.

03

The Speed-Runner: Gemini

Gemini started slow — then became the #1 research tool in three quarters. Stop googling. Start researching like a PhD.

04

Contained AI: NotebookLM

One article becomes a podcast, a video, visuals, a mind map. Your knowledge, contained and multiplied.

05

Vibe Coding: Claude

You will code. Yes, you. Claude Code is your programmer team. Claude Cowork is your operations team. Live.

06

Your AI Stack

Connect your tools into one pipeline that works — materializing nearly anything you imagine, fast, and at remarkable quality.

07

Frontier AI

Agents, voice clones, and what's coming next. See it before everyone else.

Who it's for

Entrepreneurs and executives who want AI as a strategic partner.

Content creators, writers, and educators looking to scale their impact.

Knowledge workers and consultants tired of hype, craving real workflows.

Anyone who wants to build a trusted, repeatable AI practice.

What you'll leave with

A custom GPT/Gem built from scratch

A deep research report on your topic

Original visual assets created with AI

Multi-format content from a single source

Working code you built alongside Claude

Your personal AI stack, connected and ready

Adapt, not adopt.

Your competitive advantage is no longer what you know — it's the speed at which you create what you can imagine.

I co-founded Sovra on a simple bet: in a gold rush, sell shovels. In an AI rush, sell trust.
