The real picture
What is actually happening in the market right now: the forces most consultants are feeling but can't quite name, and what they mean for how you sell for the rest of the year.

Founders Sessions · With Michael Zipursky
A live online workshop for consulting founders who refuse to let the back half of the year drift.
The world has shifted under all of us this year. Uncertainty around the U.S. midterms. Conflicts playing out globally. And the fastest technology disruption any of us has lived through, with AI changing how buyers find, evaluate, and decide.
A lot of consultants are quietly hoping September sorts itself out. It won't. The founders who finish this year strong will be the ones who read the moment clearly and move with intention now, well before Q4.
Michael will share what he's seeing across the market and in the deep planning work he's been doing behind the scenes. Then he gets practical about the one thing that determines your next six months: your pipeline.
01
What is actually happening in the market right now: the forces most consultants are feeling but can't quite name, and what they mean for how you sell for the rest of the year.
02
How to identify the unique value only you can create, the ground AI can't reach, and why getting clear on this is now the most important work you can do.
03
Why the founders crossing $1M get ruthlessly clear on exactly who they serve, and how to start narrowing now, even in the mid-six figures.
04
How to develop the point of view that makes you stand apart, so you say the things your ideal client desperately needs to hear and no one else is saying.
05
The channels that genuinely work in this market, and why they have almost nothing to do with blasting messages. We'll show you how the highest performers use them consistently.
06
What our most focused clients did this year: one up 56% over last year, another added more than $1M, another finally stopped being afraid to put themselves out there.
This is not theory. It's what to do in the next 30 days so you walk into September with real momentum instead of hope.

A note on what's coming
We're being very deliberate about who joins. This is a community of founders who take serious action, want real accountability and hands-on implementation support, and want to use AI strategically rather than be left behind by it.
It's for people ready to put a custom, strategic plan in place and work closely with us to grow. In this session, Michael will share how to explore whether one of those openings is right for you.
