· long-form from & about AustinThe one-page brief we ask for first
Free to read: the short brief that replaces a discovery call, and why it is short on purpose.
What we check in the first hour
The eight questions that decide whether a process is worth touching at all.
The handover checklist, line by line
Every item we hand over, why it is on the list, and the two people who have to sign it.
What we will not take on
Free to read: three kinds of work we turn down, and the reasoning behind each.
Why the second week is where it breaks

The $0 launch playbook: how a garage candle brand hit 400 orders in June
No ads, no influencers, no discounts — a four-week sequence built on a waitlist form and two emails that did all the selling.
Winning the neighborhood: what 200 door conversations taught me
The five-minute pitch that turned a laundromat into a pickup point.
We counted every person who walked the riverside path for three weekends
