What's your executive coaching process?

I start with a 30-minute strategy call to understand your goals and current challenges. Then we build a custom plan. Sessions are typically 60-90 minutes, biweekly or monthly, depending on what you need. I’m certified and focus on decision-making frameworks, not motivational talk.

What makes your approach to AI training different from other consultants?

I’m a filmmaker first. I teach AI through the lens of storytelling, creative judgment, and ethical use, not just prompt engineering. Most AI consultants come from tech backgrounds. I come from 16 years of making things people actually want to watch.

What's the difference between your AI consulting and your AI training workshops?

Workshops are for teams who need foundational AI literacy and strategic frameworks. Consulting is for organizations that need custom AI implementation, content strategy, or ongoing advisory support. Think of workshops as education, consulting as a hands-on partnership.

What's the best way to start working with you?

Book a 30-minute strategy call. We’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and whether my approach aligns with your needs. No sales pitch. Just clarity on whether we should work together.

About me

The Ultimate Guide to Building a Consistent Writing Routine

Most people don't quit writing because they run out of ideas. They quit because the habit was never built right. This course gives you a routine that survives the bad weeks, not just the good ones.

Essential Story Structure for New Screenwriters

Plot without structure is just a list of things that happen. Learn the framework working screenwriters actually use, then build scripts an audience stays for.

Master the Art of Character Development

A plot can survive a lot. A flat character can't. This course teaches you to build people audiences remember, backstory, contradiction, and all.

Vision meets
execution. Stories that
make an impact.

My film and content work gets built the same way everything else does, structure first, craft second. From short films and branded content to AI-assisted production pipelines, I work with brands, studios, and executives who need work that holds up after launch, not just on the day it ships.

AI & Content Strategy Consulting

Most teams don't have a content problem. They have a structure problem, too many channels, no clear system, and AI tools nobody's actually using well. I find where the work is actually breaking and build a strategy your team can run without me in the room.

Filmmaking & Creative Direction

Direction and creative oversight for films, branded content, and original work. I build the production around the story, not the budget around the deadline. If you need someone who can hold the whole vision and still hit a delivery date, that's this.

Corporate AI Training

Hands-on AI training for teams who need to actually use these tools, not sit through a slide deck about them. Built around your real workflows and real bottlenecks. Nobody leaves the room with a list of buzzwords.

Executive Production & Creative Operations

Running production is a different skill from making something good. I lead the operations behind larger shoots and campaigns, budgets, schedules, vendors, the parts that make or break a project nobody sees until they go wrong. For teams that need someone steering the whole thing, not just one piece of it.

Discuss a Project

Speaking & Teaching

Keynotes and panels on AI, storytelling, and where the two are actually heading, not where a press release says they are. I build every talk around the room I'm in, not a deck I reuse. Available for conferences, internal events, and offsites.

Burn Rate: The Founder’s Guide to Finding Yourself, By Accident

This isn’t a book about scaling a business. It’s about what happens to you while you’re trying to. The identity work, the unraveling, the version of yourself that shows up around month eighteen that you didn’t order. Self-actualization wasn’t the plan. It rarely is.

TESTIMONIALS

See What Our Customers
Are Saying

"Most AI trainers show you tools. He showed our team how to think about the work first, and where AI actually fits into it. Six months later, the habits stuck — that's the difference.

Rajesh Kumar VP of Operations, TechCorp India

“We'd tried two AI workshops before this. Both left us with more tabs open and no clarity. His sessions were the first time our executives walked out knowing exactly what to automate and what to protect.“

Sarah Mitchell Chief Marketing Officer, Innovate Digital LLC

“He runs a set the way he builds a system — structure first, then the story. We got speed and craft in the same project, which I'd been told was impossible.“

Amit Sharma Director of Product Development, GlobalTech Solutions
