I do strategic transformations. My minimum engagement is $50,000 because the strategies I build create $50M+ in value. If you want cheaper, hire McKinsey—they'll charge you $500K and deliver in 12 months what I can give you in 12 weeks.
Traditional consultants bill by the hour. I deliver outcomes. Here's what $50,000 buys you compared to traditional consulting firms.
Choose the engagement that matches where you are and what you're building.
Comprehensive relocation and deployment strategy tailored to your specific situation, capital, and ambitions.
Not just strategy—active partnership. Learn to produce, get credits, build your production company with ongoing guidance.
For institutions, cities, or large-scale economic development initiatives. Retainer + performance fees + equity participation.
Traditional consultants: 6-12 months to deliver strategy.
Me: 12 weeks.
For a $100M initiative at 10% annual return, executing 9 months earlier = $7.5M in opportunity cost saved.
Most consultants specialize. Film OR economic development OR tech infrastructure.
I synthesize all of it. You get cross-domain strategies that create 10x more value than siloed advice.
Typical client deploys $10M-50M in capital.
My strategies optimize deployment to create $50M-200M in value.
$50K for $50M+ return = 1,000x ROI.
Meta just arrived. Billionaires are coming. Infrastructure is building.
In 3-5 years, this opportunity is gone. $50K today buys positioning that's worth $10M-50M in captured value.
You're an active builder, not a passive consumer. You see $50K as cheap for $50M in value.
You're looking for cheap advice, passive investments, or someone to validate decisions you've already made.
I work with 10-15 clients per year. Selectively. I turn down more projects than I take. If you're serious about building in El Paso—and you see the convergence happening—let's talk.

I don't give away intellectual property—I create markets for my services. By showing what's possible, I prove I can think at this level. By demonstrating speed and synthesis, I position myself as irreplaceable. The city might use my frameworks. The billionaires I attract will hire me as their guide. And that's worth more.
