Runner → PA → Art Dir → AD → Writer → Director → Builder. 20 years on set showed me what was broken. Now I'm fixing it.
The Co-Founder Era Is Dead. For decades, founders had to marry their business. Years of commitment before you knew if it would work. Getting tied to a single co-founder during the best earning years of your life. That's why most built one company for life. AI has changed the math. The time and cost to build real assets has collapsed. Which means a new model is now possible. I call it The Oscar Model. Hollywood's best directors don't marry their cast. They assemble world-class teams, make something that lasts, collect royalties forever, and move on to the next exciting project. That model never worked in business... until now. Here's how it works: → Assemble an all-star cast → Lock in roles, equity, and royalties upfront → Build for 6-9 months → Own royalties forever → Disperse → Do it again No endless partnerships. No bloated orgs. Just a portfolio of bets that compound while you sleep. This isn't a startup. It's not a fund. It's a studio. And whoever masters this model first builds more in 5 years than most founders build in 20. Welcome to The Oscar Era. What's your first Oscar project?
