We'll work exclusively together to research a hyper-specific topic (from company-specific diligences to passions and personal interests), helping you learn fundamental techniques to elevate how you research, the quality of your output, and the overall depth and specificity of what you find. Here are a few sample research projects I've leveraged a combination of AI tools, AI playbooks and AI agents to tackle: - building an investment memo for a growing $10M+ satellite business [moderately challenging, industry-wide learning] - investigating disinformation for high-sensitivity topics [challenging, fascinating, revealing] - codesigning a job search playbook for a physician pivoting into biopharma, including custom, agentic work for breaking news playbooks to stay on top of trends [straightforward, highly practical] - developing repeatable playbooks for company research [easy, incredibly high-value, easily replicable] - creating a book list for a group of friends with esoteric interests [easy, fun, repeatable] - crafting a timetable, project plan, invite list, marketing collateral, and success criteria for a 2,000-person event [highly challenging, requiring continued changes from multiple stakeholders - putting together a comprehensive itinerary for a 10-day getaway to Joshua Tree, accounting for mobility constraints for 80-year-old travelers [fun, required consistent source review] - finding a health insurance plan that best met someone's unique medical and geographic circumstances through their state marketplace [moderately challenging, combining AI & common sense] Just about anything can be researched more efficiently if you know how and where to look in the age of AI. But there are even more pitfalls to navigate too. I've worked closely with Stanford founders, McKinsey alum and fellow business owners (seed-stage to F500) to research incredibly detailed, hard-to-find sets of information, and leave with high-quality answers, and even higher-quality methods they can take with them.

i'm now coaching people on how to better maximize whatever AI-based tool they use -- helping you ask the right questions and get answers that matter: a few use cases: • 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 / 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀: designing intelligent prompts, asking the right questions to get to the bottom of anything, whether it's a passion project or corporate forensics / due diligence -- then following up to make sure no stone goes unturned -- there are infinite permutations of what this might entail. i've helped 3 different businesses with this now, and about 15 real humans. it's been fun, in large part because it feels like building a dynamic skillset that's immediately testable and learn-from-able. it's also something, if you're actively investing yourself, that you ought to get good at yesterday. • 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 / 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻-𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: whether you're charting out the next 3-5 years of your career, or figuring out which direction to take your business, these thoughts cause more head-fog than most i've come across. there are many really bad ways to do "strategic" work with AI, but some clever, less obvious ways to find inspiration and corral your thinking while making the most of the internet's reach is something i've started helping people with • 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀: need to figure out how to navigate your state's health marketplace? building a personal budget? getting a vacation itinerary together? bring an idea, and we'll go. i'll also help you dig into sources, understand the limitations of what these tools can and can't do, and help you spot pitfalls in an AI tool's output so you know when and how to challenge your GPT of choice -- and integrate your own critical thinking to make sure it's as thorough and accurate as something you might research independently.
