Waitlist is open: Craft Your Million-$ Positioning

Board Members

MOve with certainty

Private mentorship for creative founders navigating change. I work with creative founders in times of change. Survival mode. Ceiling. Breaking through

What actually works

Stop trying to fix this with tactics. You don't need another marketing strategy. You need a shift in who you are. The moment your identity changes,your decisions change. Your direction changes. Your work changes.And the clients you attract change with it.

One direction wins

Most founders chase everything.Revenue. Scale. Hiring. Burnout.The people who break through pick one.

Pivot

Your best opportunities aren't in your current market. They're where your expertise is scarce,clients have real budget,and you have no competition yet.

Uplevel

Stop taking any client who can pay.Work with people who push you. Who can afford real quality. Who actually execute your recommendations. Your time becomes more valuable when your clients are better.

Grow

You can't scale alone. But hiring more executors just adds chaos. You need leaders who multiply impact. This is how you build something that doesn't depend on you.

Downsize

Profitability isn't revenue. It's what you keep. Strip out the noise.Do less, better.Watch your margins breathe. Watch your reputation skyrocket.

What consequential decision are you carrying?

You built a successful creative business.
Now every important decision carries greater weight.
A key hire.A partner.
An acquisition.
A repositioning.
A difficult client.
The business no longer needs more information.
It needs better judgment.

"The knowledgeable outsider."

Chris Do, CEO at The Futur

I spent twenty years building Impossible Pictures. Since then, I’ve advised hundreds of studio founders on six continents.

Reserve isn’t consulting. It is decision stewardship. It’s where founders bring the decisions that no framework, AI prompt, or consultant can make for them.

Think: installing a robust sales system. Making a key hire. Repositioning the studio. Pitching a multi-million dollar deal. Developing intellectual property. Preparing for acquisition.

Bring me the decisions that keep you up at night...
Should we shrink the team?
Make them a partner?
Reposition the studio?
Pursue an acquisition?
Sell the company?

We diagnose the situation, pressure-test the options, see around corners, and decide what happens next.Together we make the call. I help you make a better one.

"I couldn't have gone at this speed without you."

Jared Hobbs, Founder at Deep Sky Studios

Every major decision goes into your Decision Ledger™ — what changed, what you’re deciding, the options, consequences, decision, and next move.

Over time, it becomes the institutional memory of the business.

A record of judgment.
A leadership asset.
‍
And eventually…
A valuable piece of transition readiness.
I work one-on-one with a small number of founders.

Founders stewarded include studios like Antfood, Bindery, BIEN, The Furrow, Giant Ant, Kill 2 Birds, Laundry, Sarofsky, STATE, VERSUS, and many others spanning animation, motion, live action, sound, design, and experiential.

The work itself is private. The results are anything but.

"We've been contacted by and awarded two music videos for Katy Perry... a great conscequence of the process we started together."

Martín Schurmann, Founder at Studio VAS

Practice isn’t advice. It’s stewardship:

• A structured decision-making process
• A living Decision Ledger™
• A trusted thinking partner also carrying what’s at stake
• The confidence to move forward on consequential decisions

Reserve is intentionally limited to a small number of founders. Engagements begin at $10K per month, structured quarterly.

Not ready for ongoing Reserve?

Sometimes you don’t need me alongside you indefinitely. You need me for one heavy decision that really matters.

That’s a Reserve Decision Sprint.

4–6 weeks.
One consequential project.
€10K fixed investment.
