[A note, before the pitch]
I build real AI-powered software for small businesses and busy leaders, the actual working thing, not a slide deck about it.
If someone forwarded you this page, it’s because they’ve seen what I build and wanted you to see it too. Here’s what that actually looks like, in under a minute.
I run BraceYourself Solutions out of Lowell, Michigan, where I live with my wife and our young kids. When I say I’m “using AI” for you, I mean actually building it into something you can click on, not writing a report about it — because I build the tools myself, start to finish.
Most of what gets called AI consulting right now is a slide deck and a recommendation. I skip that step. I sit down, understand the real problem, and build the working tool myself, usually inside a week or two.
I also work closely with a small number of people I’ve built real, ongoing relationships with, including John Anderson at The CEO Advantage, where I help build out the AI side of his coaching practice. That kind of close, hands-on collaboration is the same thing I’d bring to your business.
A form nobody likes filling out. A report someone builds by hand every month. A question you answer the same way fifty times a week. No discovery deck, just a plain conversation about where the friction actually is.
Not a mockup, not a proposal. A real tool you can open and use, usually inside a week.
No twelve-month engagement to sign before you’ve seen anything. You look at the real thing, and then we talk about whether it’s worth going further.
I’d rather show you a few things than describe what I do in the abstract. Described by what each one does, not by whose name is on it, until they’re okay with that.
A client portal I built for a construction/building company — job tracking and client updates. Shipped, paid for, and still in active use today. This is the kind of project that pays for itself the moment it ships, because it replaces manual, back-and-forth work with something that just runs.
A working, interactive demo I built for a consulting firm, using synthetic data so their team could see the tool in action before deciding whether to move forward. It’s a real, working demo, not a deployed, client-facing product, and I’d rather be straightforward about that than let it sound like more than it is.
A business dashboard and AI assistant I built and use myself, every day, to run client communication and follow-through. Proven on my own business first — the same category of tool I’d build for you.
