What you get
Everything in the room
My verdict on your numbers, every month
You send your numbers before the call and I go through them line by line. On the call, you get a straight answer: what's working, what's broken and the one thing I'd fix first.
A small room of founders at your stage
Every week, a live call with founders doing $1M to $20M/year. Bring me anything, and hear the verdicts I give everyone else. You'll learn as much from theirs as from yours.
A direct line to me, every week
Send me one question a week about anything in the business: a supplier quote, a hire, a price change, a reorder. I'll answer it on video.
Targets you're held to, every quarter
At the start of each quarter I set targets with you from your real numbers: revenue, margin, cash and inventory. At the end, I score you against them, so you always know whether the business is getting better.
Everything I use myself
The full curriculum across the 12 areas I check in any consumer business, all four starter kits and every past call, filed by topic.
What founders say
From founders who've worked with me
We were about to place a $400,000 inventory order on a 12-week lead time that would have put us 3 weeks from running out of cash. Adam caught it when our cash flow forecast said we were going to be fine.
It was three emails back and forth, and he never asked me for a dollar. We split the order, moved to a second manufacturer, and never had the problem.
Amazon FBA brand · $500K/month
I've paid consultants who took three months to tell me what Adam told me in one call. There's no warm-up. You send him your numbers, he tells you what's broken and what to do first.
Our cash flow improved by just under 25% in less than two weeks. The ROI on that single call made it the best investment I've ever made for my company.
Men's wellness supplement brand · $1.2M/month
He showed me I was the only person who could make a decision at my company. Adam helped me restructure my team and operating cadence, set up a scorecard the company runs on, and define what I do versus what the team does.
I got 20 hours a week back, and profitability didn't suffer. It improved.
Premium personal care brand · $3M/month
We were under $100,000 in monthly revenue when we started and weren't sure we belonged in a conversation with Adam. He treated our numbers with the same seriousness as a $10M brand's.
His fix on contribution margin is the reason we had our first $50,000 day this year.
Functional supplement brand · $6M/year

It's for you if
you're doing $1M to $20M/year, you're running the business day to day, and you want someone to tell you straight what to fix.
It's not for you if
you're under $1M/year. Start with the Operator Membership. Over $20M/year, work with me directly.
Questions
Before you apply
What does it cost?
Founding members pay $1,999/month. The regular price is $2,499/month. You can cancel any time.
Is there a sales call?
No. If you're a fit, you can join straight from your answer page.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time, from your billing page. You keep access until the end of the month you've paid for.
How is this different from the Operator Membership?
In the membership, you watch me work through other founders' businesses. In the Builder's Room, I work on yours: a verdict on your numbers every month, a video answer every week and a scorecard every quarter.
What if I'm over $20M/year?
Then I'd rather work with you directly. Here's how that works.
