Projects

A sample of systems, courses, tools, and community work — the kind of projects Pete builds for founders and high-output creatives. Swap these for your real launches anytime.

Operating Cadence

A weekly operating system for founders — templates, review rituals, and a lightweight scorecard that turns chaotic calendars into a repeatable rhythm. Built for small teams that want clarity without enterprise software.

The Focus Letter

A long-running newsletter on deep work, decision hygiene, and building businesses that don’t burn people out. Practical essays, one systems tweak per issue, and interviews with operators who ship consistently.

Ship Week

A five-day live cohort that helps ambitious builders finish one stalled project. Daily prompts, accountability pods, and a public demo at the end — designed for people who already know what to do but keep getting derailed.

Priority Stack

A simple planning tool that forces a hard ranking of the week’s work: one must-win outcome, three supporting moves, and everything else parked. Made for solo founders who drown in task lists that never prioritize.

Builders Circle

A private community for operators and creators swapping playbooks on product, audience, and sustainable output. Monthly roundtables, shared systems libraries, and peer reviews — less hype, more how we actually work.

Second Brain Starter

A self-paced course on capturing ideas, linking notes, and turning research into published work. Includes a starter vault structure, weekly capture habits, and a writing pipeline from inbox to finished draft.
