The best fit is a founder running a $3M–$25M online business — education, media, services, or AI — who is operationally overwhelmed and knows that what got them here won't get them to the next stage. If you've tried coaches and advisors who gave you frameworks but didn't do the work alongside you, this is different. If you're under $3M or looking for the most affordable option, this isn't the right fit yet.

30 minutes. You share where you're stuck, what you've tried, and where you want to be. Chris asks the questions most people don't ask — about your actual numbers, your team, and what's really slowing you down. You'll leave with a clear recommendation on which engagement fits, or honest feedback that this isn't the right time. No pitch, no pressure.

A full Operator Engagement typically runs 3–6 months. It starts with the two-week Growth Diagnostic, then moves into execution: weekly calls, access to key systems and team members, ownership of key workstreams, and the build-out of playbooks, SOPs, and dashboards. The final 4–6 weeks are focused entirely on handoff — making sure everything runs without Chris before the engagement ends. See full engagement details →
