I know I know

It’s been a while. And the longer it gets, the harder it gets for me to write this, but let’s do it. My last update started with the overly sensationalized headline: BIG NEWS: I’ve permanently moved to Toronto.

Funny, because I’m writing this from my waterfront mansion overlooking the oceans of Vancouver. If you’re still reading, and think, wow what a twat - bear with me - it’s less bougie than it sounds. Two years ago I had a brilliant idea: What if I rented a mansion and filled it with like-minded entrepreneurs - think Youtube creator house, but for entrepreneurs. I never executed the plan, but lucky for me, a friend did - and now I live with four awesome people in a little haven in Deep Cove, Vancouver.

I love Victoria - and it will always be home, but I was stuck in routine rut. I needed space, I needed to hug a tree, and I needed community. All of which I get in droves at my new place - and my mental health has never been better! (My parents are worried I will use this as a replacement for a wife and kids)

I live in Vancouver (for now) - but I still have these goblins sitting on my shoulders gently whispering “move to Austin…, move to New York”.

Tamba: The Highs, the Low, and the Fix

The Highs

Tamba just tripled revenue year-over-year while diving even deeper into health-tech, AI, and fintech. We shipped full-stack, AI-powered products. Some of our wins in the last 6 months:

  • We built Vibe with Andrew Wilkinson - an AI Powered Fashion app that generates full fledged outfits for you based on what’s in your closet. We are actively looking for a CEO/CMO to blow to take over and blow it up!

  • ShipSidekick: The next gen AI shipping software soon to be a billion dollar company (fingers-crossed as we’re also investors!)

  • Routines: More on this at the end! But we’re blitzing our way to a 9-figure company.

The Low

I wasn’t sure if I was going to write about this or not - because this one took a huge emotional toll on me. A friend-referred project spiraled out of control and we own the failure. Scope crept, Our PM failed to raise the red flags, and devs, scrambling for time, patched things with cowboy code. Demos looked perfect, everyone was super happy, until the client’s CTO dove in, spotted the duct tape, and nuked the project. We lost money, but the real cost was strained relationships. Escalation to Hamza 1 and 2 would’ve stopped the duct tape and forced a scope reset.

The Fix:

Hamza 1 and 2 have been working on the business rather than in the business - so we gave birth to Tamza - our agent-swarm that now orchestrates every step of client delivery.

As a bonus, I’ve included a day in the life of Tamza at the end of the email.

MAKE ME SOME MONEY!

Let’s be honest - this email is just a clever way for me to remind all of you to refer clients to us - so that you and I can make tons of money. We’ve paid out over $60K in referral fees in the last 6 months - mostly to one referer. Here’s a refresher on how it works:

Routines:

This is where the update gets really exciting!

Early March I decided to ramp up the intensity behind Routines by 300% - and the results speak for themselves. The traffic tripled and our revenue 7Xed in under 3 months.

Here is everything planned (and underway) for 2025:

  • Take our traffic from 100,000 monthly uniques visitors to 500,000

  • Revenue goal: $100,000 monthly (at a ~90% profit margin)

  • Launch the best hyper-personalized routine builder app

  • Hyper-automation of everything

  • Launch the Routines Podcast (2 episodes recorded)

  • Go on other podcasts (connect me if you have any good leads)

  • Write and launch a book (maybe 2026)

How can you help:

  • Want to trade backlinks?

  • Want to come on the podcast, or recommend me on a podcast?

  • Have ideas on how I can grow my traffic?

  • Want to send me thoughts and prayers?

Bonus

Tamza: A day in the life of our baby cyborg:

  • Kick-off call: Our team joins the call with Tamza. While we chat, Tamza listens and reminds us of any questions we forgot to ask.

  • Post-call: Tamza writes a one-page summary, sends it for PM and client sign-off.

  • Discovery (1–3 follow-up calls): Tamza and team gather requirements from the client - Tamza generates summary, backlog, journey map, and tech audit.

  • Scoping: Once approved, Tamza drafts a detailed project plan—what we’ll build, how we’ll measure success, what’s included, what’s not, and an estimated budget.

  • Execution: After client sign-off, Tamza breaks everything into bite-sized tasks and loads them into our task trackers and we get building.

And this is just the beginning….
