Formula4Fun is the little company I run my own businesses through. There's Papa's Storytime (read-aloud videos and children's books on Amazon), a planner app I'm building, and Pitchcraft, where I help other owners with the same things I've had to figure out for myself. For clients that means pitch decks and business plans, pitch deck reviews that stress-test the numbers, and simple AI automations, like a lead responder that answers website inquiries in under a minute from your own Gmail. I use AI to move fast, and I check every piece myself before it goes out. I also do voice-over and video scripts, turning complicated product ideas into plain, friendly language. I'm a small business owner too, so I know what it's like to wear every hat, answer leads at 10pm, and try to explain your idea to the person holding the checkbook.
