Join us to learn all of the juicy secrets of tech leaders - their biggest successes (and failures) - on our quest for gaining that all-important technology edge.

I went from 105-hour weeks and near-divorce to a 40-hour workweek, zero turnover, and no missed deadlines.

That crisis forced me to rebuild everything—my leadership style, my team, and my life.

Now, I teach technology executives how to do the same.

I’ve coached executives from startups to Fortune 500s, helping them turn overwhelmed teams into high-performance A-Teams.

I’m Mike Mahony, a 20+ year CTO, Executive Coach, and creator of the Decentralized A-Team Method. 

My mission: help leaders escape firefighting mode, build autonomous teams, and scale without burnout.

Through executive coaching, digital products, and consulting, I guide tech leaders to:

	•	Cut hours without sacrificing results
	•	Develop teams that deliver without micromanagement
	•	Eliminate chaos and streamline operations

I also serve as a Fractional CTO and NetSuite specialist, where I translate messy systems into clear business wins—whether that’s automations, API integrations, or optimizing data workflows.

And as host of “Gaining the Technology Leadership Edge”, I sit down with top executives, founders, and disruptors to reveal the real stories behind successful teams—the hard lessons, surprising wins, and the strategies they wish they’d known sooner.

Here’s how we can work together:

🔹 Want to apply the Decentralized A-Team Method to your leadership style? DM me “COACH”

🔹 Have a story for the podcast? DM me “PODCAST”

🔹 Need a NetSuite Developer or Fractional CTO? DM me “NETSUITE”

BUILDING SIMPLE CLIENT ENGINES FOR COACHES, CONSULTANTS & EXPERTS

I work with established coaches and consultants already in business who want a cleaner, more leveraged way to grow.

The pattern is familiar:

No reliable, systematised pipeline for new clients.

No clear one-to-many offer or delivery model that feels solid.

Too much time lost to bespoke 1:1 work and energy-draining sales calls.

That’s the problem space I focus on.

What we build (the AC Cross)

Inside Ascendant Consultant, I use a four-part framework:

Identify the customer – exactly who you’re building this for (and who you’re not).

Articulate the offer – a simple, compelling offer you can explain in a few sentences.

Map the conversion method – how people become clients (written paths, low-key calls, email/DM flows, etc.).

Map the delivery method – how you deliver one-to-many in a way that fits your energy and calendar.

We sketch a first version of all four then refine and implement so this becomes a working client engine, not just a plan in a notebook.

Background (short version)

I’ve spent 20+ years in senior digital roles (CEO, COO, Executive Producer), working with both large enterprises and small, fast-moving firms. Earlier in my career I ran my business from a sailboat with my family for extended periods, which cemented a belief I still hold: your business should support your life, not consume it.

If you’re a coach, consultant, or expert and this describes where you’re stuck, you can message me here on LinkedIn or visit www.JPeterWhite.com for more detail.

My best-selling offer nearly broke my business.

Jotted this down over coffee in Da Nang, Vietnam this morning for the coaches I work with.

On paper, the offer looked great:
Decent price.
Happy clients.
Calendar full.

But every new client made the whole thing feel heavier, not safer.

More custom work.
More one-off calls.
More 'sure, I can do that too' bolted on.

Revenue up.
Headspace and margin down.
3 a.m. 'what happens if I add three more of these?' thoughts.

When I see this now, I don’t start with 'more leads'.
I start with Offer + Delivery:

– What needs to come OUT of this offer?
– How can we standardise the path clients move through?
– Where can we stop selling our calendar and use defined call slots or office hours instead?

Same person.
Same skills.
But each extra client stops feeling like another weight on your shoulders.

Over-the-shoulder question for you:

Do you have an offer that sells, but.... secretly drains you?

👉 What about it feels heaviest right now?
