Josh.
Strategist. Builder. Accelerator.
I've been helping individuals and families sleep better at night for over 20 years. I just change the tools I do it with.
Eight years operating inside businesses. Over $50M in value through marketing, AI implementation, and revenue work. Founded and exited a multi-disciplinary consulting firm in 2023. Today I help businesses at every stage — from $150k coaching practices to $100M advisory firms and $25M+ enterprises — clear the next tier. Prometheus is how I do it.
Built to serve.
Ten years in the U.S. Army Infantry. Two combat deployments — Iraq and Afghanistan. The instincts I bring to every Prometheus engagement were forged before they were applied to P&Ls.
Most of what I bring to consulting came from those years. The bias toward execution. The hatred of theater. The instinct that systems get tested under pressure, not in a deck.
Different battlefields, same principles.
Most of my clients can see the next tier. They just don't have the systems to get there without hiring 2 or 3 expensive people and burning a year on it. That's where I come in. I build the systems, run them for 9 to 12 months, and hand them off to your team. The stage you're at doesn't change the playbook. It changes which lever moves the number.
Intelligent marketing design
GTM that converts and clears legal review. The kind of marketing your compliance team never has to apologize for.
AI enablement at scale
Production AI deployments that survive past the pilot phase and get inherited cleanly by your team — not by my retainer.
Revenue innovation
New products and service lines designed and operated inside your existing business. Net-new revenue without net-new headcount.
A guide who knows how to get you there.
It's 11 PM on a Tuesday. You just closed a browser tab on the third AI keynote video this month.
Your team is still doing the same work the same way. The board keeps asking what your “AI strategy” is. You've saved seventeen Substack articles you haven't read. And the question won't shut up: if I don't figure this out in the next twelve months, am I obsolete? And if I do figure it out — am I the one who teaches my company how to replace my own job?
That question is why you're on this page. Not the company history. Not the resume. The question. Let's take it seriously.
Here's what's actually been holding you back.
It's not lack of interest. It's not lack of intelligence. It's a stack of very rational fears that nobody around you is naming out loud. Let me name them, because if you don't see them on the page, you'll think you're the only one.
If any of those landed, you're not behind. You're paying attention. The people who don't feel these are the people who haven't thought about this seriously yet.
Side note about the elephant in your tenant
Yes, you've tried Microsoft Copilot. Yes, it summarized that 14-message email thread as “this email is about a meeting.” Yes, it changed your Word formatting for reasons that defy physics. Yes, you watched it spend 30 seconds generating an Excel chart you could have built in 4. You're not crazy.
Copilot is genuinely useful for about six specific jobs and almost useless for the other forty-seven it's been plastered onto. Knowing which is which is half the work. That's a thing I'll save you on the call.
If two of those fears just landed, stop reading and book the call. The rest of this page is for the people who want more proof first. You don't.
But here's the quieter thing you're not saying out loud.
You can see it. You can see what becomes possible if AI is wired into your business correctly. You've done the math in your head on what 30% more capacity per person looks like. You know the kind of role you'd play if you led that change instead of being a passenger on it.
You'd be the person who:
- Stopped the 14-hour-a-week document chase your team has been bleeding on for years.
- Shipped the first real AI feature in your company — the one the board kept asking about and the consultants kept slide-decking.
- Made yourself impossible to replace because you became the person who understands how the new tools actually work in your specific business.
- Got promoted, recognized, headhunted, equity-checked — pick the one that matters to you — because you led where the rest of your industry stalled.
That's the version of this story you've been imagining late at night. That version is real. I've watched it happen. I've helped it happen.
But the AI consulting industry isn't built to get you there.
You already suspect this. You've sat through the pitches. You've seen the framework slides. You've felt the gap between the keynote energy and the actual deliverable.
Most of what gets sold as “AI strategy” is theater. A 90-page deck that tells you what you already know, dressed up with quadrants and a maturity model. Months of meetings. Zero shipped systems.
The consultants pitching you this haven't shipped real AI into a real business. They've read the same articles you have. They charge $30k a month to read those articles at you in a Zoom room.
That's the enemy. Not AI. Not your team. The people who sell certainty about something they've never built.
If you've tried before and it didn't work — that wasn't on you.
Maybe you ran a pilot in 2024 that fizzled. Maybe a vendor you trusted shipped something that looked good in a demo and died in production. Maybe your team got excited about ChatGPT for a month and then went back to doing things the old way.
None of that was you. The tools were younger. The vendors were unproven. The patterns hadn't been figured out yet. The playbooks didn't exist. You were ahead of the technology, not behind it.
The tools are here now. The patterns work. The thing that's different in 2026 is that real systems actually ship and stay shipped. The window you missed in 2024 is open again, wider this time.
Here's why I'm a different kind of person to do this with.
I'm not a consultant who read about AI. I'm a ten-year combat infantry veteran who built and sold a real company before AI was even a marketing word. I generated more than $50M in real client outcomes for small businesses and high-net-worth families using strategies most firms wouldn't bother running.
I exited the firm in 2023 and went deep on AI. Not as a spectator. As a builder. I've shipped production AI systems for CPAs, wealth managers, law firms, coaches, and trades businesses. I've made the expensive mistakes already. The clients I work with now don't pay tuition on those mistakes. I paid it.
The combination is the unfair advantage. Most AI consultants haven't built or run a business. Most business builders haven't built or run AI. I've done both. So when you and I talk, you don't get strategy theater. You get someone who's already implemented the thing you're asking about, in a business of your size, with results you can verify.

“He's the first AI consultant we've worked with who actually shipped anything. The rest delivered decks. Josh delivered a system that's still running.”
— Managing Partner, regional wealth management firm
“Six weeks in, the partners stopped arguing about AI strategy because Josh just built the thing we'd been debating. The system answered the strategic question by existing.”
— COO, mid-market professional services firm
What happens if you book the 30-minute call.
It's not a pitch. It's a working call. I'll ask you specific questions about your business — where the time goes, where the impact is, where you've already tried something and it didn't hold. By the end of the 30 minutes you'll have one of three things in hand:
- A specific next step you can take this week, free, without me — sometimes that's the right answer and I'll say so.
- A scope for a focused engagement that pays for itself inside one quarter — typical when there's a clear workflow to automate.
- A clear “not a fit right now” with a referral to someone better positioned for your specific situation. This happens about 1 in 5 calls. I'd rather tell you no than waste a quarter of your time.
Either way, you walk away with more clarity than you have right now. There's no discovery gauntlet. There's no recovery email sequence. If we're a fit, we're a fit. If we're not, you've still gotten a useful 30 minutes from someone who's actually built this stuff.
The Delivery Guarantee
If we don't have one production-ready AI capability live by day 30 of the engagement, month two is on me. No invoice. You keep the work shipped and the work-in-progress, and you decide whether month three happens.
I've never had to invoke this. I'm not planning to. The guarantee is real anyway because it forces the right question on the first call: can we actually ship in 30 days? If the answer is no, we both find out before either of us is committed.
Capacity
I take three new strategic engagements per quarter. That ceiling is what makes the delivery guarantee credible — I can't over-promise across thirty clients because I don't have thirty clients. If this quarter is full when you call, I'll tell you directly and you can decide whether the next slot is worth the wait.
One question to leave you with.
Twelve months from now, you're going to be in one of two places.
Place one: you're still circling the question. Your competitors who started in 2026 have a year of compounding advantages. Your team is using ChatGPT in random uncoordinated ways. The board is starting to ask harder questions.
Place two: you're the person inside your company who led the change. Three to five real AI capabilities are in production. Your team knows how to use them. You're the one the board calls when AI is on the agenda.
The difference between place one and place two is a 30-minute call you either book today or you don't.

PS —If you read this far, you're already different from 95% of the people considering this. Most close the tab in the first thirty seconds. You didn't. That's the signal. The 30 minutes is the cheapest move you'll make this quarter.
PPS —If you're reading this on a phone late at night and you're going to forget by tomorrow morning, book the call now. Future-you will not remember to come back to this page. I'm not being clever — that's just how the browser-tab graveyard works. The button is right above.
