Hi, I’m Eli.
I align AI-empowered intrapreneurs, and form ecosystems for entrepreneurs in Gainesville. The Elign program coaches a cohort of six to build what’s next every month. AI 4 Kids teaches kids to wield AI, and Afterschool Acroyoga supports creative fun for all. Unimpeded Speech amplifies local voices on a video podcast born inside TEDxGainesville. Legacy Love Letters films cinematic heirloom videos of our elder loved ones. The Founder Accelerator Mastermind fosters a give-first mentor network more than a hundred strong. Vena Cava nurtures a heartwarming welcome home. Good Goods crafts practical things we actually use.
Different doors, one belief: you don’t have to shrink to fit the system. Find your door below.
Eight ways in
What are you building?
Tell me in one line. This starts a conversation, not a newsletter.
Become who you are.
One letter a month, nothing more.
The video podcast
Amplifying local voices on a global stage.
Ordinary people. Extraordinary ideas. Heard clearly, on their own terms.
Unimpeded Speech is a video podcast that began inside TEDxGainesville, where I curate speakers. Before any stage, we sit down and let the idea breathe: a real conversation, not an audition.
House rules: the speaker is the hero, never the brand. No hype, no clickbait, no sanding a voice down into polish. If a sentence carries your character, it stays exactly as you said it.

The community
A heartwarming welcome home.
The world drains people. We circulate them back.
Vena Cava is an alcohol-free, eco-friendly burn community in Gainesville, Florida: fire jams, ceremony, flow arts, and a garden tended by many hands. Nothing here is for sale. It runs on love, sharing our gifts, and showing up.
Our monthly Fire Jam welcomes first-timers. And if giving is your love language, meet the FAM.
The Accelerator
Invest in your becoming.
Six builders. One room. One system for closing the gap between what you see and what you ship.
Elign is the coherence system I ran one-on-one at $1,000 a month over 8 months, rebuilt for speed and clarity in 8 weeks. Across eight live stages we move from who you are to what you dream of becoming: Ikigai Moat, Resource Bank, Business Model, Reverse Engineer, Brandstorm, Proprietary Assets, CEO Systems, 100+ Mentors. With AI doing the heavy lifting at every step, launching your new venture.
Twelve builders went through Cohort 1. Now a new squad forms every month, capped at six on purpose. Small enough that nobody gets lost. Big enough that nobody builds alone.
One price. One squad of six.
$800 per person, capped at six on purpose.
Every friend you bring who joins earns you $200, paid when they pay. Two friends, $400. Four covers your seat. Five fills the room: your own private squad, and you leave with $200.
Save a seat in the next cohort
Every new squad starts the first week of the month. Six seats each. Join the waiting list for priority access.

The Mastermind
Give first.
Mentorship is free here. That is the point.
FAM is the Founder Accelerator Mastermind: a give-first network where mentorship flows for free in Gainesville; one hour a month by more than a hundred people who execute effectively. We are partnering with the City to make Gainesville the best place in the country to start and grow a business.
Want to give an hour? Want to receive one? Both doors are open.

The kids program
AI 4 Kids.
The youngest builders deserve the newest tools.
AI 4 Kids teaches children to wield AI the way they wield crayons: as a tool for making dreams happen, not a machine that does their homework. Curiosity first, ethics second, always hands-on.
This program is early and growing a community. If you are a parent, a teacher, or a school that wants AI literacy taught with care, I want to hear from you before anyone else.
Raise a hand
Parents, teachers, schools, partners. Tell me who you are and you’ll hear first as classes open.
Curious where this is headed? Come talk to me, free.
The films
Hear their stories forever.
Presence, preserved in light, laughter, and the wisdom of their advice.
Legacy Love Letters films cinema-quality interviews with your elder loved ones: their stories, their laughter, the advice only they can give. Multi-camera, professionally lit, gently guided, and finished within weeks.
One relaxed afternoon becomes an heirloom your family keeps forever. Ten percent of every session goes to a charity of your loved one’s choice. Serving North Central Florida.
The flow
Play safely together.
For Alachua County Public Schools.
Afterschool Acroyoga brings partner movement, meditation, and breathwork to students of every age and level. Kids build strength, flexibility, trust, and body awareness through poses and games that meet them where they are.
I started teaching acroyoga in 2016 at music festivals across the country. Our style is simple. We slow down, speak softly, and have fun.
Want acroyoga at your school? Come talk to me, free.
The goods
Good Goods.
Practical things for everyday use.
Every good here exists because we craft it in small batches: made with care, used every day, and shared because people kept asking where to get one.
