I'm a dynamic, versatile professional with diverse experience in Sports, Marketing, Corporate Partnerships, Partnership Activation, Brand Development, B2B Sales, and Operations.

My experiences in both large sports organizations and as a founder of a boutique creative marketing agency have given me holistic experience and dynamic skill sets. That being said, nothing is more rewarding than working with great people and knocking goals out of the park.

Lot's of big moves happening at Argo IQ, today's announcement being that we brought on the one and only Cassy Bayona

This one is a big one. 

Cassy is a master at building teams, process, excellence, hiring, etc

We did some great work together and am very excited about what we are about to do with Argo. 

This team keeps getting better and better

Guy I went to college with sells insurance

Thought he had a boring business

Just found out he makes $400k a year take home

Works 9-3

Takes most Fridays off to golf with clients

He's on year 7 of his own business

Maybe boring wins

We had a goal of getting to $100k+ ARR with Argo IQ within our first quarter of launching. 

We hit it.

Now we are aiming for $1M+ ARR by Q3

Big growth isn't easy, but we believe we have something truly special here

Let's see what a little public accountability does for us too Scott Frazier ;)

What are your company goals this year?

Co-Founder @ ArgoIQ - AI + Human in the Loop | Previously Co-Founded TRIBE, Helpware & Station Entertainment, Multiple Exits l

21, full of self doubt and starting my first job out of college. I stepped into a department of 150 people, all distinguished, polished and older than me.

Confidence was immediately shot.

In training I didn't pass my first time and had to do it again.

My second week I had to give a presentation in front of 20 people at a dealership and sweat more than I knew was possible.

Finances were tight, I bought clothes at Burlington Coat Factory on sale.

I started traveling the country and one week I'd crush it, the next week I'd get a reality check.

One week I was set to give a big presentation, went to In N Out beforehand, looked down as I was finishing up and found special sauce all over my only shirt- a white button up.

Another week and big presentation, I forgot an umbrella and ended up in an absolute downpour, also without a change of clothes.

I got up there and owned it.

Over the course of a couple years I rose in the rankings and eventually got promoted.

I actually think that being uncomfortable, having things go wrong, dealing with those nerves led me to build a resilience.

If nothing else, I learned to try things again and again, to get better.

Over the next month we are going to have several big announcements I'm itching to share

Several big hires and partnerships coming in

First of which, thrilled to bring aboard Ashley Deighan, MBA to our advisory board. 

Ashley serves as Director of Security at the Mayo Clinic and has some next level background in healthcare, AI and security. 

Big things ahead!

Holy sh** what we are building at ArgoIQ is next level

Just finished our latest demo, and it's awesome

For businesses looking to make AI actually work and run at scale in their business, we firmly believe ArgoIQ will be that missing layer

CRMs were big the past decade

The future is a layer that oversees AI and pulls it all together in one place to make sure it runs accurately

If you want a peek at the demo lmk

One thing is super clear after talking to over 100 businesses who want to implement AI: 

AI can't do it all

It still needs human oversight

There is context, nuance, rules, etc

The companies that think they will implement AI by itself will struggle

The companies that make sure to give it Human in the Loop Oversight will win. 

That's why we exist.

Need help here?

Let's talk

We had a potential customer try to get onto the ArgoIQ platform for free

They want the benefits of AI and accuracy, but aren't sure about AI yet.

MEANWHILE another company just like them came in, wanted to sign up and pay right away because they want to win in business. 

The businesses ready to win and try things are going to do well

The ones waiting and hoping are going to struggle.

Talked to a guy who quit his $180k corporate job to start a business...

2 years later he's making $65k and stressed out of his mind in his agency

His advice?

"Don't quit until your side business is making MORE than your salary for at least 6 months straight"

He jumped at $4k/month thinking it would scale fast and he'd have freedom.

It didn't.

Now he can't get back in at the same level and his business is stuck.

The dream sold vs the reality lived.

How long did you wait before going full-time on your business?

Vibe Ops is what we're building at Argo IQ

First it was vibe coding, then vibe marketing, ops is about to be the biggest by far

The real problem is still 95% of businesses haven't implemented AI in meaningful ways. 

Our platform allows for you to, in natural language and by ingesting your documentation, turn that into self running ops flows. 

No more n8n or clawdbot half way there and unsafe workflows. 

Instead:

Describe what you want deployed
Let the system handle the complexity
Real scale

And honestly, the capabilities are insane. Want onto the waitlist? Let's talk, we have pilots jumping on next month.

We saw one business go from 6 full time workers doing back office tasks to an AI solution that only needed 1 worker.

80% cost reduction, 95% accuracy first pass, volume INCREASE not decrease

We believe the reason so many businesses aren't seeing AI actually work is because AI can't yet work on it's own. 

It needs humans in the loop

We see it every day
