A cohort is powerful. For some leaders, it is the wrong shape. You do not want to learn alongside eleven other people. You want someone sitting next to you, in YOUR inbox, YOUR calendar, YOUR knowledge base, building your personal operating system with you.

You also want someone keeping you current on what is changing in AI, so you are not the leader who missed the thing everyone else caught three months ago.

That is this.

"AI has become a genuine part of how our full leadership team operates, not just a tool a few of us were using... That hands-on follow-through was everything."

Jessica Whatley, CEO, Northside Neighborhood House

$1,000/month

The Monthly AI Landscape Brief

This is the piece most executives actually want. A written brief from Russ, once a month, tailored to your role and your industry: what changed in AI this month, what is worth testing, what is hype, what peer executives are doing. Not a newsletter. A curated memo for your desk. Exclusive to the Advisor tier.

Think of it as outsourcing the "stay current on AI" problem to someone who is already doing it full time.

Custom Company Cohorts

The same hands-on method, built for your firm instead of one leader.

A cohort of 8 to 12 of your leaders moves through four working sessions tailored to your industry, your platform, and your compliance reality. Not a lecture series. Every participant builds in their real tools and leaves with a launched workflow and a calculated ROI.

  • Four 90-minute working sessions plus a private session with each participant
  • Curriculum tailored to your stack: Salesforce, Microsoft, or Google
  • Your data rules and compliance reality built into every session
  • Delivered virtual or on-site at your offices
From $5,000
per participant

Final pricing depends on group size, customization, and delivery format.

How We Handle Your Data

Built for organizations with real compliance obligations. Forward this section to your compliance team.

Enterprise accounts, training off

We work in enterprise AI accounts configured so your data is never used to train models.

Human in the loop

Nothing outward-facing sends on its own. A person reviews and approves before anything leaves your systems.

Sensitive data stays put

Client records, account data, and personal information stay in your systems of record. They do not enter prompts.

NDA, gladly

We sign your NDA before the workload audit, not after the engagement starts.

Salesforce-native experience

We build inside permissioned, auditable Salesforce environments every day, across 19 organizations.

The framework is a deliverable

Your data-handling rules get documented as part of the build, so your team knows exactly what goes where.

Who This Is Right For

  • Founders, owners, and C-level leaders
  • Executives whose operating system IS the business
  • Leaders with unique or confidential workflows that do not fit a group setting
  • Anyone who wants to stop worrying about falling behind on AI and have someone tell them what matters

How It Works

  1. Intro call (30 minutes, no cost). Is this the right fit?
  2. Workload audit sent before Session 1. Come prepared.
  3. Build sessions run over 4 to 6 weeks, scheduled to your calendar.
  4. 30-day follow-up check-in included.
  5. Retainer decision. Optional, decided after the build is complete.

Questions

I'm not technical. Is this for me?

Yes. This is for leaders, not developers. If you use ChatGPT casually and can change how you operate without asking permission, you are in.

What AI tools do I need?

A paid subscription to Claude, ChatGPT, or Microsoft Copilot. We use whichever your organization has.

Will my data be safe?

We use enterprise tools and human-in-the-loop workflows. No sensitive data in prompts. Your data handling framework is part of the build.

Can my whole team do this?

That is a custom company cohort. Groups of 8 to 12, tailored to your firm. Full details in the Custom Company Cohorts section above.

What happens after the build?

You walk out with a working system. The optional retainer covers ongoing support and the Monthly AI Landscape Brief.

What is the refund policy?

Fully refundable through the first scheduled session. Retainers cancel with 30 days notice.
