Business AI Optimization Retainer

Limited Spots

Your competitors are already automating tasks your team does manually — every single day. Every week without AI-powered operations is compounding margin you’ll never recover. The only question left is whether you close that gap now, or watch it widen.

What this covers

  • Full operations audit — exactly where your time and money disappear
  • AI workflow design, built and deployed in your stack — not a slide deck of ideas
  • Custom automations across reporting, admin, ops, and customer communication
  • Team training and change management so adoption actually sticks
  • Direct Slack access — no tickets, no delays, fast answers when you need them
  • Monthly accountability reviews with real ROI numbers, not vanity metrics

How I work

I don’t consult from a distance. I embed directly in your operation, identify your highest-leverage problems, and ship working solutions — then back them with real numbers.

Most businesses are sitting on 20–40% of recoverable operational costs. I’ve found it in restaurant groups, financial firms, and software companies. The average client recovers more than my monthly fee within the first 30 days.

I work inside your existing tools — your Slack, your inbox, your PM stack. No new software mandates. No hand-off reports. Just a system your team actually uses, producing results you can measure.

You didn’t build your business by outsourcing accountability. Neither do I.

I don't just teach efficiency.
I've built my life on it.

Hi, I’m Travis.

I’m not a "tech guru" who grew up in a basement. I’m a builder, a Veteran, and a father who learned early that systems create freedom.

I’ve spent 20+ years in banking and finance leadership, operating in high-pressure environments and managing complex teams across sales, customer service, and technology. Along the way, I built and scaled a software company to over $1M in revenue and launched businesses across three major cities — Chicago, Los Angeles, and Nashville.

My fiancé and I are both longtime business operators. We’ve lived the reality of building, leading, and growing organizations — not just talking about it.

I’ve led global teams, shipped real products, and learned how to turn systems into profit. I don’t just "use" technology — I use it to drive outcomes.

Today, I consult with small and mid-sized businesses to design systems powered by AI that reduce costs, increase revenue, and eliminate operational drag. I also work directly with leadership teams — from middle management to the C-suite — helping them leverage AI in a way that makes them sharper, faster, and more effective without burning out.

Because the goal isn’t to work harder. It’s to operate smarter — and win.

Now based in Nashville, I built Thriving AI to help business owners cut through the noise and actually apply these tools in a way that changes their business — and their life.

Outside of work, I’m a devoted fiancé, a dad, and someone who still believes in showing up with discipline every day. You’ll usually find me outdoors, traveling, or cheering (loudly) for Chicago sports teams.

My Promise to You:

I operate with the same honor code today that I did in the service. No upselling, no confusing jargon, just honest guidance to help you thrive.

Case Study · Nashville Hospitality Group

They discovered their greatest source of waste was what they weren't looking at.

Three restaurants. Five managers. One Slack channel on fire. We built an operations command center so they could manage maintenance requests, track vendors, and follow expenses in one place—instead of losing it all in threads.

“We didn't install software. We built a system the team actually uses. That's the difference between adding AI to a business and operationalizing it.”

— Travis

What's leaking in your operation?

One session. One specific pain point. 20 minutes to see what this looks like for your business. If AI can fix a restaurant group's maintenance chaos, imagine what it can do for your spreadsheets, your inbox, or your P&L.

"I had years of client data trapped in messy Excel files that I couldn't make sense of. Travis helped me set up a simple online dashboard that my clients actually love using. We also automated my quarterly email updates—I saved about 10 hours a week immediately."

Not ready to commit? Let’s book a 30-minute call to see if we’re a good fit.

Let's be honest about what's holding you back.

You probably have a few doubts. That's normal. Here is the reality.

"I'm not 'tech-savvy'. I'll never get this."
This is the biggest myth out there. If you can text your grandkids or type in Google, you can use AI. The new tools speak English, not code. My entire job is to show you how to talk to it like a human. You will be shocked at how easy it is.
"I've run my business for 20 years without it."
And you’ve done a great job. But imagine if you had refused to use email in 1998? AI is that same level of shift. Your competitors are starting to use it to move faster and cheaper. Learning this now isn't just about "cool tech"—it's about protecting the legacy you've built.
"Is my data safe?"
This is a valid concern. Part of our training includes a dedicated segment on Privacy & Security. I will teach you what to upload, what not to upload, and which settings to turn off to ensure your data stays yours.
