Blair Brown — AI Consulting for Work + Life
AI Consulting for Work + Life

Hi Tess,

Here's everything from our conversation, organized into ten ideas across both businesses and home life — plus two bigger ones worth their own conversation.

A few things on how this works:
  • I can only take on one project at a time — happy to do several, but each has its own turnaround before the next one starts. So this list is also a decision: what order?
  • Every project is half to start, half when I hand it over.
  • Once something's delivered, we do two 30-minute calls: one to walk through it and flag any edits, then a second once those edits are made to confirm it's right. That's an hour total, and it's included, not an extra cost.
Level Up Dance — Growth & Communication
1 Communications & Reminder System $825
ProblemCreating the message isn't hard — remembering to send it, and writing something different for every age group and every business, is what actually eats your time.
How it worksYou hand me your studio and NCDTA calendars once. I build an automated system that reads them and, on a schedule, hands you a ready-to-send message for each group — already written in the right tone — so you just copy it into Band or send it along. Nothing to remember, nothing to draft from scratch.
Need from youYour quarterly studio calendar, your NCDTA calendar, and a quick note on how each group's tone should feel — a message to a 4-year-old's parent isn't the same as one to a college coach.
DoesKeeps Mini Movers, Rookies, your older classes, and NCDTA coaches each getting messages that actually fit them — nothing generic, nothing forgotten.
2 Intern Handoff System $625
ProblemYou already have an intern who could own Band and social media, but there's no system for actually handing it off — so it still comes back to you.
Need from youWhat your intern currently does, and what you want fully off your plate.
DoesA simple playbook and workflow so your intern can run Band and social independently — pairs directly with the Communications & Reminder System above.
3 Content Repurposing $750
ProblemOne piece of content needs to become posts on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and that's not happening on its own.
Need from youOne real example to build the template from.
DoesTurns one clip or episode into a full set of posts, with a plan for each platform, automatically.
4 Younger-Class Outreach $675
ProblemMini Movers and Rookies are your funnel, but outreach keeps getting pushed down the list.
Need from youWhat you've already sent to Weddington Schools.
DoesA repeatable outreach system for schools, libraries, and Parks & Rec.
NCDTA — Operations & Growth
Top pick
5 NCDTA Operations System $875
ProblemEvery competition runs through you by hand — lunches, T-shirts, the schedule, judges training and contracts, signage, uploading music, writing the announcer script, and locking in college coaches.
Need from you60 minutes walking me through one full competition cycle, plus your existing checklist.
DoesTurns that whole checklist into a repeatable system, plus a written playbook so you can eventually hand the role to a hire.
6 School & College Target List $750
ProblemOutreach for combines and new dance teams is guesswork — no organized list of who already has a team, who doesn't, and who's worth targeting.
Need from youWhich regions or competition level to focus on first.
DoesTwo separate lists, both with real contact names: schools and colleges that already have a dance team (for competitions and combine recruiting), and schools that don't (for the "start a dance team" blueprint you've already built). Two funnels, one research pass.
Home & Family
7 Co-Parenting System $675 + $40/mo
ProblemTaylor tends to flag what he needs at the last minute, once it's already urgent — there's no simple way for either of you to get ahead of a busy week before it hits.
How it worksOnce a week, before the week starts, you and Taylor each get a simple text or email: what do you need help with this week? His answer comes back to you automatically — so a need shows up on Sunday, not as a Wednesday emergency.
Need from youNothing more to cover — we already talked through your actual schedule. Just confirm text or email is the right way to reach Taylor.
DoesTurns last-minute asks into a heads-up a week out, without Taylor needing to log into or learn anything new.
8 Family Morning Brief $675 + $60/mo
ProblemNeither of you has much backup, and it's easy to only think day-to-day instead of seeing a busy week coming.
Need from youWhether you and Taylor use Google Calendar or Gmail — that decides what's possible here.
DoesA daily look-ahead so you both see what's coming and can plan for help before it's last-minute.
Let's confirm on the call whether this is workable before pricing it in for real.
9 Meals & Home System $575
ProblemYou hate cooking, need it fast and toddler-proof, and the new house feels unmanageable to clean.
Need from you20 minutes on what your kids actually eat.
DoesA rotating list of quick meals plus a cleaning schedule sized to your house.
Working On the Business, Not Just In It
10 Priority Decision Filter $575
ProblemYou said yes to everything, and it overfills your schedule.
Need from youA few real examples of asks you've said yes to recently.
DoesA simple yes/no filter you can run any new ask through, so the decision isn't made from scratch every time.
Podcast production — not priced yet The whole podcast workflow (scheduling coaches, filming, editing, distribution) sounds like its own real project. Let's talk through scope live on the call before I put a number on it.
Coach Training Subscription — a bigger idea worth its own conversation This is the one I'm most excited about: a monthly, themed on-demand video library for coaches — Pom one month, tumbling the next, hip-hop after that — built as the "homework" for the combines, which are the "test." Real recurring revenue, and nothing like it exists yet. Too big to price in a first pass, but let's talk through it Thursday.

Take a look before Thursday. No need to have it all figured out — but if you can, think about which ONE of these would make the biggest difference first. That's really what I want to land on together.

See you Thursday at 10!
