Introducing: Control Tower.
After running agencies for over a decade, three problems were clear:
1. Task management tools aren't built for client work—the constant back-and-forth, the private and public feedback loops.
2. Financial tools don't understand service businesses. We need to know what's coming in, what clients owe, when they're paying, and how that stacks up against what we're paying our team.
3. We need easy tools to track and manage our team's capacity in real-time.
But here's the thing—these tools need to work together. When you work with clients, your team's capacity dictates the projects you can take on. The projects you take on dictate your revenue. And the pace of those projects restarts the entire cycle.
That's what Control Tower does.
Today we're announcing the foundations: Tasks, financials, and capacity. Very soon we'll be introducing Chief—the AI layer that connects everything and works proactively to keep your team moving.
We built this from the ground up to be agent-native. What we have today is good. It's not great yet. There's a lot of work to do, and a lot we haven't even shipped to our beta users.
I'd love for you to check it out. Sign up for the beta—we're inviting people as quickly as we can and doing personal walkthroughs.

Hey @AnneliseLevy - loved your reporting on PTK’s litigation tactics. I’m in my own First Amendment battle with Phi Theta Kappa. Anti-SLAPP motion pending. Same law firm, same strategy — this time to silence a whistleblower exposing sexual assault by the PTK CEO.
PTK has spent millions to suppress my story.

Whistleblower Seeks Legal Action Against Phi Theta Kappa For Squashing Her Free Speech
redstate.com/wardclark/2025…
English

Phi Theta Kappa’s Board has failed in its fiduciary duty.
They enabled CEO Lynn Tincher-Ladner’s misconduct — and let the last PTK CEO, Rod Risley, retire quietly after he sexually assaulted me — and paid him nearly $4 million from student and donor funds.
The money? Always funny.
- A 49% CEO raise while running a deficit...
- No recorded student impact from new grants...
- Do we need to talk about that 2nd PPP loan?
- And the vanity lawsuit?
- Don’t forget — A $300K job for her wife + Lynn’s $400K salary — nearly $1M/year from a nonprofit household.
This is not leadership. It’s exploitation.
@shadwhite @IRSnews @CharityNav @bbb_us @Comm_College you must launch independent investigations immediately.
Students, donors, and alumni deserve transparency, justice, and reform.

Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner - While Phi Theta Kappa's finances collapsed into a deficit, you gave yourself a 49% raise—bringing your salary to $386,564. You created a $300,000-a-year, grant-funded leadership role (money that should have gone to students) and handed it to your wife. Who knows what your nearly million-dollar household is pulling in now—because you haven’t filed anything public for 2024 or 2025 yet.
And maybe while you’re at it, you can explain the millions being spent on this losing battle of yours—a battle most of PTK’s members and donors don’t even know about yet.
You’re not protecting Phi Theta Kappa's mission.
You’re protecting yourself—and your paycheck.
The world is watching...

Dr. George Boggs — after Dr. Rod Risley sexually assaulted me - you let him retire with a $4 million payout. Now you’re protecting Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner while she silences survivors and burns through donor money at Phi Theta Kappa.
You aren't protecting students.
You aren't protecting education.
You're protecting corruption.
If you're silent, you're complicit.
Tagging those who should be asking the same questions:

@marcorandazza They’re not trying to win—they’re trying to bleed me dry. Where’s the voting button for "lawsuit tantrum: now with extra billable hours and a side of wasting donor money"?

A censorious “honor society” (Phi Theta Kappa) tried to get a prior restraint and got smacked down
We moved for AntiSLAPP fees
Their lawyers want to take MY DEPOSITION before this motion is heard

@tonimarek You should be very proud of yourself, Toni. Few people can claim the kind of litigation victory you did. Swift, stealth, and we all know it's not over for the PTK smartypants til you say when
English

Bravo to @tonimarek for schooling Phi Theta Kappa. PTK is a litigation flunkee and must pay for attempting to restrain a survivor’s speech by halting her book release.

@cagoldberglaw This gave me life. PTK’s been stomping on my voice with every legal trick in the book, but your words? Absolute jet fuel. Thank you for saying it plain. Survivors are watching, and you’re helping make sure they see we don’t have to take it lying down.
English

This is your legacy, @TincherLadner: corruption, cover-ups, censorship. You gave herself a $126,890 raise, taking your salary from $259,674 to $386,564—while @PhiThetaKappa spiraled from a $4.7M surplus to a $900K deficit.
Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner used nonprofit grant funds to hire her wife. She spent $50K+ on 2 board dinners. Then PTK tried to gag a sexual assault survivor to protect it all.
“Even temporary gag orders can cause lasting harm.” — @FreedomofPress

Phi Theta Kappa: This is a spotlight on suppression.
This isn’t speculation — it’s documented.
And it’s time we talk about it.
- Internal emails show PTK requested colleges block whistleblower communications.
- My Mailchimp account — shut down after sharing public records.
- A former staffer raised serious concerns about scholarship claims under oath.
- FOIA documents reveal inflated “top 10%” membership invitations.
When a nonprofit that thrives on student dues and public funds starts blacklisting critics, we all need to ask:
What are they so afraid of us seeing?

PTK got a gag order to block my book—then stood in court and argued they should review it first… so they could come back and block even more.
@marcorandazza nailed it: “It is truly a remarkable species of prior restraint that should meet its extinction here today.” Spoiler alert: It did.

Phi Theta Kappa got a gag order to block my book — then stood in court and argued they should get to read it first. That’s not how the First Amendment works.
