30 minutes · Berlin time · No deck

A working conversation. Thirty minutes.

I keep a few of these on the calendar each week. You bring what's actually on your desk; I bring 25 years of having sat in your seat — across marketing, product and technology. By the end we'll know whether to keep talking, and you'll walk out with what you came for, regardless.

Start a conversation

Bring what's actually on your desk. I'll bring 25 years of operating experience.

How the call runs

Three movements. Thirty minutes.

01

You walk me through it.

The last quarter, the next one. What's working, what isn't, where AI is either absent, half-implemented, or actively making things worse. Plain language, plain numbers.

02

I think out loud with you.

I map what I'm hearing onto patterns I know — across marketing, product, technology and AI — and flag the two or three places where the leverage actually sits.

03

You leave with something usable.

Whether we keep talking or not, you walk out with a short list of things to act on this week, and an honest read on whether sustained sparring would change your line.

What you take home

What gets said. What gets written down.

  • Two or three points of leverage specific to your team, your stage and your stack.
  • A back-of-the-envelope read on what those would be worth across the next 90 days.
  • A direct answer on whether working together would be useful — or whether you already have what you need.
Who I take these calls with

Founders and marketing leads in small teams.

Five people or fewer in marketing. The CMO who is also the head of demand. The founder still writing the LinkedIn posts. Growth leads in companies that have outgrown the agency stage but can't yet justify a brand department. If that is the seat you sit in, this conversation is built for you.

If you're an agency looking for referral work, a vendor pitching tools, or someone hoping I'll write your LinkedIn posts — this is not that conversation. Said with respect.

Pick a time

When works for you.

Grab a slot that fits your week. You'll get a two-minute intake form afterwards so I can come prepared. That is the whole process.

What people ask before booking.

What does it cost?

Nothing. I keep a small number of these on the calendar each week because, frankly, they are the best filter both ways — for you, on whether sparring with me would actually move things; for me, on whether I can help.

What should I prepare?

Nothing. Come with what's already on your mind. A KPI that's stuck. A team that's drifting. A decision you're avoiding. The faster we get to the real thing, the more useful the call.

What if I only want a second opinion and nothing else?

That's a good outcome. Many people leave with the leverage points and never come back. I count that as a successful call.

Can my co-founder or CMO join?

Yes — up to three people on your side. Beyond that it stops being a conversation.
