I help people build a dope life they never thought possible
I'm Ken. These days that means sitting next to CEOs and their teams until they're known for what they think and using AI for real. Done with you, the whole way.

What I do with everyone I work with
My logo is a cairn, a stack of stones hikers leave to mark the trail for whoever comes next. It's the job.
I find what you've already got
The stories, the expertise, the people on your team. It's usually more than you think (it always is).
We stack it in an order that holds
Your voice written down, your team's system built in Claude, a plan you'd actually follow.
I leave a clear marker for your next step
Then I check that you took it. Kindly. Mostly.
Three ways to work with me
Not sure which one fits? That's what the call is for.
AI search and content intensive
30 days with your team, from $9,420
Your team builds a content engine in Claude that AI search cites and that builds pipeline. I'm in the trenches with you the whole time, then your team owns it.
More on aI search and content intensiveThe Known CEO
Four one-on-one sessions, or with your leadership team
I interview you until the ideas you share in rooms of four people are published under your name (and sound like you, not a press release).

Keynotes, breakouts and hands-on workshops
Talks on AI search, content and the human voice AI can't fake. Your audience leaves with something they use on Monday.

What people say after working with me

“Ken understood my business better than I understood my business. He is a real master of his craft.”

“The way that you have approached each of the calls that we've had, it's like we've known each other for a long time... I feel like I can talk to you like I'm talking to a friend.”

A bit more about me
I sold my agency, Doorbell Digital Marketing, to RevenueZen and stayed on as Chief Growth Officer. RevenueZen later sold to Onfolio. I'm building Meet Sona now.
I'm also a husband, mini Australian shepherd dad, former bjj bro and coffee junkie (3 exits, way more failures).
Some people call me Magma. Ask me why on the call.
