of 1,000,000

80,000+ reached. 1,000,000 is the mission. Counted across the conferences I headline, the rooms I speak in, and the training network I founded. Every one of them is a real business owner who came looking for the door.

Getting 1,000,000 people to win contracts.

One room, one city, one signed contract at a time.
The rooms

This is what 80,000 small business owners looks like.

Four conferences a year in LA County, plus the online network that runs between them. People come on a Saturday, with notebooks, with their kids, because somebody finally offered to show them how the money works.

Why I do this

The money was always there. Nobody showed us the door.

Billions in government contracts get awarded every year in LA County alone. Somebody wins that money. It's almost never somebody from the block. Not because we can't do the work. Because nobody taught us the paperwork, the certifications, the scoring, or the rooms where it gets decided.

I learned it by winning it. Millions in federal funds. Millions in local contracts. Million-dollar companies in mental health, entertainment, and public relations. Now I teach it in public and I teach it for free, because owning a business should feel as cool as anything else we make cool.

House rulesPurpose. People. Profit.

The culture

The room they show up for is the room the block trusts.

Ownership has to feel as cool as everything else we make cool. That is not a slogan to me. It is why the people who move the culture stand on my stage and ride in my vans.

What I built

I didn't come from the speaking circuit. I came from the work.

Contract Ready is the training platform and conference series I founded, and it is where most of the 80,000 came from. It runs whether or not I am on a stage that week. When a city books me, they are booking the person who built it, not somebody who read about it.

The talk ends and the line starts. That is the whole job.
Why they call it

They call me the King of Contracts. Here is what that buys a city.

It is not a nickname I gave myself. It is what rooms started calling me after the checks cleared for the people in them. When a city books me, this is what shows up.

01

A full room, not a rented one

Small business owners come out for this. Four conferences a year in LA County have proven it, and 80,000+ have come through the doors and the network.

02

A commissioner who reads the rubric

Vice Chair of the LA County Quality & Productivity Commission and a member of the AI Innovation Committee. I teach the scoring from inside the process, not from a book.

03

Winners your council can name

Cities get press releases. What they want is a local business that won something. That is the whole design of the night.
