Let's talk about what you're trying to build yourself out of.
Tell me what's stuck, the part of your business that still won't run without you, and I'll tell you honestly whether ESLR is the right fit. The fit call is free, and I reply to every inquiry within two business days, usually sooner. Start with the short form below, or email me directly if that's easier.
No pitch. You'll leave with two or three concrete next steps, whether or not we work together.

You don't need a polished brief. A few honest sentences are plenty: what won't happen unless you do it yourself, and where you want the business to be in 6 to 12 months. Nick reads every message himself. No intake bot, no junior account rep.
Nick brought execution and pure hustle grounded by a strong sense of mission to Lime. He saw opportunities to grow Lime's reputation and impact even as he was successfully opening new markets, he'd be an asset to any team.
The standard, lived
Nick co-founded Freaky Foot Tours in 2015; it now runs in three Arizona cities without him in the day-to-day. Per its May 2025 anniversary announcement: 1,000+ five-star reviews across Google, TripAdvisor, Viator, and Airbnb.
Our own venture, labeled that way

What happens next
Three steps, no runaround
Here's exactly how the first stretch goes after you reach out.
- 01
1. You reach out
Use the form above, or send a few lines by email. A real person, me, reads every message, and you'll hear back within two business days, usually sooner. No intake bot, no junior account rep.
- 02
2. A free fit call
We talk through what's actually slowing you down and where you want to get to. No pitch: I'll tell you straight whether ESLR is the right fit, and if it isn't, I'll point you somewhere that is. Either way, you leave with two or three concrete next steps.
- 03
3. A scoped plan with an exit
If we move forward, I map the engagement to a defined goal and a graduation point, the moment ESLR becomes unnecessary. You'll know what we're building and how it stays after I'm gone.

Read first, talk later
Not ready for a call yet?
That's a fine way to start. Most owners read for a while before they reach out, and this site is built for that. These pages answer the questions people usually bring to a first fit call.
- What a fractional COO costs: market rates by tier and revenue band, every figure sourced.
- Fractional COO for startups: what an operating partner actually does, and when it's the wrong hire.
- The Operations Scorecard: a quick self-assessment of how well your business runs without you.
- Insights: the playbooks and evidence behind how we work, including the owner-independence statistics.
