Insights & Work in Progress

What's in
the Lab

We build the same growth system for our own brands that we build for clients. This page is a window into that work — honest about where each brand is, what's being built, and what we're learning. Full case studies come when results do.

Active experiments across three brands — updated as work progresses
AI Growth Consultancy
Bourbon City Digital
Active Build

BCD is its own first client. The Lead Engine Framework we build for businesses is being built here first — on ourselves. We repositioned from a generalist digital agency to a specialist in AI-powered growth systems, rebuilt the site architecture around that positioning, launched an AI readiness lead capture tool, and are systematizing content production using the same AI-assisted workflow we sell. This isn't a hypothetical. It's a live proof-of-concept — and everything we learn here sharpens what we deliver for clients.

Published Book · Author Platform
Spirit Work
Early Stage

Spirit Work is a published collection of reflections, meditations, and honest thoughts — born from a personal season of spiritual growth and now available on Barnes & Noble. Most authors build the book first and the platform never. We're doing the reverse: building the digital infrastructure around a published work after the fact — an author platform, email list, content system, and AI-assisted discovery engine designed to drive ongoing readership and community. The challenge is translating something deeply personal into a growth system without losing what made it authentic in the first place.

Lifestyle Brand · Multi-Format
funki.life
Brand Identity Phase

funki.life is a lifestyle brand built on a simple philosophy: fun and kindness aren't soft ideas — they're multiplicative forces that change the shape of communities. Like individual stars influencing the gravity of a galaxy. The brand has a defined identity, a clear voice, and a multi-format vision spanning merchandise, podcast, content, and books. What's being built next is the growth infrastructure — a content system and community foundation that can carry the brand across formats without losing the warmth at its core. This one is early. That's the point.
