The Live Build

You didn't build a business. You built a job that texts you at 9pm.

Ninety minutes. I take one real job from a voice memo to a finished scope of work, live on screen - then show you what it takes to install the rest yourself.

Third Wednesday of every month · 7:00 PM ET · live, 90 minutes

The problem

It's not a staffing problem. It's a systems problem.

What happens in the room

You walk the job talking into your phone. By the time you're back at the truck, the scope of work is written.

The office half of a contracting business - the quoting, the follow-up, the where's-my-invoice texts - can all be handed to AI you set up yourself, for twenty bucks a month. Today we build one of them, start to finish.

1

The three shifts

The three things keeping you on the tools that have nothing to do with how hard you work.

2

One station, built live

A real job from someone in the room. Voice memo from the truck in, scope of work out - built on screen from a blank page.

3

How to install the rest

Exactly what it takes to put the other stations in yourself.

Who it's for

Same disease. Three stages.

This is for you if

  • You run a contracting or home service business, anywhere from $200K to $5M a year.
  • At $200–500K, the process lives in your head.
  • At $500K–2M, it's your head plus a spreadsheet.
  • At $2–5M, it's three people's heads plus software that's half filled in.
  • Contracting, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, cleaning, pest.
  • You quote jobs and chase people for answers.

This isn't for you if

  • You're looking for a magic lead button.
  • You're happy staying a one-man show forever.
  • You've never actually done the work. This runs on your judgment and it can't supply that.
  • You want to set it up once and never look at it again.

About

Hi, I'm Kory

Trim carpenter. Building a residential general contracting company with my business partner.

I grew up in my dad's woodworking shop, on jobs with him from a young age and working for him full time right out of high school. I spent my early twenties with an Amish trim outfit — custom cabinets through high-end custom homes. If it was interior carpentry, we did it. After that, large commercial: pharmaceutical and industrial installation. Running my own company is where it changed. I got completely obsessed with the business side of it — how it actually works, and how to get AI doing the parts of it that were eating up my week. I'm not an internet guru. I've lived in this for well over a decade.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

No. If you can text a customer, you can direct this. That's most of what the ninety minutes proves.

If you quote jobs and chase people for answers, yes.

No. One person's job gets used for the build. If you want it to be yours, say so. Otherwise just watch.

A Claude subscription, $20 a month. That's the whole stack, and there's nothing else to buy. You can try it on the free plan first if you want to see it work before you spend anything.

Register anyway. The replay comes to you and stays up for 7 days. Live is better, because you can ask questions.
