Open door — Office Hours

Office Hours

A free, open door, no pitch, no catch. Office Hours is a place, not just a calendar: a Slack channel in my private Slack workspace where I build in the open, answer questions, and help you work through whatever you’re stuck on. Join the room, hang out, and book live 1:1 time whenever you want it, the booking link is pinned right inside the Slack channel to make access to me frictionless. If you’re already using slack at work, add my workspace and channel to join the community.

Why I opened my door

Community doesn’t happen from a distance. It starts when we make space to meet face to face, trade ideas, and genuinely get to know one another.

Community, up close

Real connection starts face to face — not from behind a camera. So I’m making the time to actually show up for people.

Back to what I love

Under the pressure to always make content, I lost the part I loved most — nurturing people and sharing what I’ve learned. Mentorship is how I return to it.

We all teach each other

I’m not opening my door only to teach. I opened it because I believe every one of us has something to teach the others.

Come talk about anything

Whatever you’re curious about.

All I ask is that you arrive curious, open-minded, and ready to learn. I’ll bring the same spirit.

Bring whatever you’re stuck on

Bring one real problem

The messier and more real, the better — an automation, an AI idea, a stuck workflow.

30 minutes, free

No pitch, no catch. Just help, as much as I can fit in half an hour.

An always-on room

The #office-hours Slack is open 24/7 — drop in anytime. Live 1:1 windows are Wed & Thu, 11am–3pm Arizona.

No pitch, ever

If it turns into “build it for us,” that’s a separate conversation. The 30 minutes are yours.

For builders & the curious

Founders, ops folks, anyone trying to ship something with AI or automation.

Come as you are

Half-formed idea? Perfect. We’ll figure out the shape together.

Who you’re working with
