The Talent Intensive

Get absolute clarity on the operator your business truly needs
(before you ever post a job)

Most hiring mistakes happen before the search even begins.
This 3-week engagement helps you define success, align decision-makers, and protect your investment.

You don’t just need to fill a role. You need to place a leader.

And the operator you choose will either multiply your growth—or quietly erode your momentum.

This isn’t just about finding a qualified candidate.
It’s about defining the right leader, for your business, your vision, and your team.

The Talent Intensive is your starting point.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

In just 3 weeks, you’ll walk away with:

  • A Strategic Operator Success Profile tailored to your business, growth goals, and cultural DNA

  • Alignment across stakeholders (you, your team, your board or investors)

  • Absolute clarity on what "success in the seat" looks like—so future hiring is faster and smarter

  • A founder/operator fit filter: leadership style, values, and capacity to scale

  • A clear decision: move forward with a search—or hold, knowing exactly what’s needed

Why This Intensive Actually Works

1. It creates shared alignment up front. Most friction in hiring comes from misalignment between founders, investors, and stakeholders. This intensive gets everyone on the same page—before any outreach begins. That means faster decisions, cleaner evaluations, and better outcomes.

2. It codifies what's been instinctual. You already know what kind of person would thrive in your world—but that knowledge is often fuzzy, tribal, or unspoken. The intensive translates your instincts into a documented Success Profile—clear, objective, and actionable.

3. It builds a filter—not just a profile. This isn’t about listing traits. It’s about knowing what you’ll say yes to, what you’ll say no to, and how to evaluate trade-offs before you're under pressure.

4. It prevents downstream costs. Bad hires are expensive. Mismatched operators are worse—they don’t just burn cash; they slow momentum, break trust, and set back the business. This phase is a form of insurance—small upfront investment to prevent 6- to 7-figure losses later.

5. It gives you a strategic advantage. When you’re clear, you move faster than other investors. You recognize your operator sooner. You close decisively. You inspire confidence. That matters in competitive markets.

This Intensive is ideal for:

  • ETA Investors looking for long-term operators

  • Franchisors needing scalable leadership

  • Founders preparing to scale, step back, or eventually sell

  • Family Offices looking to de-risk and protect value
