You may have a few questions. Let me see if I can anticipate the big ones.

How does this actually work?

Simple. We talk once a week, scheduled or as-needed. Texts and emails between as I review your customer-facing outputs or develop solutions to challenges you’re facing. I tell you what I think works. What I think could be tweaked. And what needs an overhaul. I’m a voice (or as I’ve been called, “a creative unconscious”) you reach out to when you need an honest read.

“If you want to be seen in a way no one’s seen you before, challenged to become the best version of yourself, and inspired to keep going – Todd is exactly your man. His work isn’t just work. It’s a calling. And he leaves the world better by pushing all of us to be better.” Sonja Allen, Partner & Global Nuclear Practice Lead, S A Partners

What do you actually do?

I tell you what I see and what I feel. I ask the questions others might not ask. I help you pull the thread you haven’t quite named. I offer ideas. Creative and strategic advisory.

“Working with Todd is like having the tough love of a father figure, the experience of a seasoned executive, and the creativity of a successful artist offered in one package. Todd connects directly to your story and always gives you exactly what you need.” Doug Finkelstein, Start-up Founder

How long have you done this?

For more than 30 years. Mutual of Omaha. Airstream. Waymo. Sovos through its Campbell’s acquisition. Oracle. I work with founders and operators across every industry that need insights from outside their typical circles. This has spanned from consumer campaign work to internal culture work. It’s work that requires the right mix of expertise and intuition.

“Todd’s ability to effectively translate the diverse needs of multiple teams to craft a variety of outputs helped us define our industry leadership position.” Rod Johnson, former EVP Applications, North America, Oracle

What results should I expect?

Honestly? The results are hard to brief and easy to recognize. A clearer story. A better decision. Sometimes a campaign, a mission, a culture shift. The truth is that where we start together often takes us to surprising places and we discover something we didn’t even know we were looking for. Sometimes, I just help you see the thing that’s right in front of you. You’re just too close to it.

“Todd helps us discover and tell the stories we didn’t even know we needed to tell.” — Head of Culture & People Development, Waymo

What does it cost?

Every engagement begins at exactly the same place. $3500/month. That’s it. Simple. I’m transparent about it because I don’t think the price should be the thing we have to fight over. No minimums. Month-to-month.

What do I get?

You get weekly 30-minute check-ins, plus ongoing emails, texts, thoughts, ideas throughout the engagement. Once you’re working with me, I’m always imagining and seeing new ideas. To be wholly transparent, if anything, I overshare. I’m not afraid of being wrong as we get to what’s totally right.

How do I know if this is for me?

If you’re a CEO, division head, or founder, and you trust your instincts and need an outside voice you can trust — this might be for you. If you only want validation, frameworks, or someone to execute for you, it isn’t.

What if it’s not working?

You tell me. I tell you. We figure it out. If we’re not the right fit, we end it cleanly and you go find what you need. I’d rather lose the engagement than waste your time pretending it’s working.

How do we start?

Send me an email. Tell me what’s going on. We’ll set up a conversation. If I think I can help, we’ll move forward. If I don’t think it’s a good fit, I’ll try to point you in the right direction.
