Built by a Builder. Not a Guru.

I've been building businesses since before most people had email. Thirty years of getting my hands dirty — from operations to fundraising to scaling product lines into hundreds of retail locations. And the one thing I kept seeing, in every business, at every stage, was the same pattern:
Money leaking out of gaps nobody was watching.
The Background
I co-founded Eden.co, a cannabis company that grew to 300+ retail stores and $500K/month in revenue. My dad and I raised $7-10M in capital to build it. Before that, I helped legalize cannabis in Colorado back in 2009-2010 and built "Legalize It Don't Criticize It" to over a million followers and 450,000 ManyChat subscribers.
I'm not the guy on stage. I'm the guy behind the curtain — the one pulling the data, building the systems, and making sure everything actually works before we put it in front of people. My wife Sonia is the speaker, the sales trainer, the face of our brand at Authority Brand Builder. I'm Head of Operations and AI Systems Architect. That means I do the research, build the tools, and architect the offers.
I'm also a dad of four — one of my sons is a sommelier at the Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana, which is about as far from tech as you can get. And I'm passionate about regenerative agriculture and permaculture. Faith the size of a mustard seed — that's how I operate.
Why CashLeaks?
I'm not an AI researcher. I'm not selling you on the future of technology. I'm a builder who got tired of watching good businesses lose money to problems that are completely fixable.
Leads coming in at 2am with no one to answer. Follow-ups that never happened. Databases full of old contacts collecting dust. Reviews going unanswered. Carts abandoned. Phones ringing into voicemail.
Every one of those is a cash leak. And most business owners don't even know they have them.
AI just happens to be the best tool for plugging these leaks. It doesn't sleep. It doesn't forget to follow up. It doesn't have a bad Monday. And it scales without adding headcount. So I built a system that diagnoses where a business leaks revenue — and then deploys the right AI agents to fix each specific leak.
The Philosophy
Diagnose before you prescribe.
Most agencies pitch you their one thing — whether you need it or not. That's not how I work. I lead with research. I lead with the numbers. I'll tell you what's actually broken before I tell you how to fix it.
We start with a diagnostic. We find the actual leaks. Then we plug the ones that matter most. No guesswork. No fluff. Just the numbers.

If you're an expert or consultant looking to add AI diagnostic capabilities to your client work, we license our entire pipeline. Eight AI agents. White-label reports. 93%+ margins.
