Founder OS

Learn Founder OS

Two ways to understand the architecture behind the operating system I’ve been building over the past year.

Whether you’d prefer a live interactive workshop or a self-paced recorded session, both cover the principles behind building an operating layer that sits above the software you already use.

Previous sessions have included operators from New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Ireland and the United States.

A purpose-recorded, self-paced session exploring the architecture, prompting methodology and workflows behind Founder OS.

Learn how to build an operating layer that connects the software you already use into one decision-making system.

Option Two · Live Workshop

Founder OS Live Workshop

Bringing your business together in the age of AI.

A live online workshop for owner-operators who want to build the operating system they wish they’d had when they started.

Drawing on more than 12 years operating four cafés, I’ll show how I use AI to architect a single executive dashboard that brings together accounting, banking, payroll, supplier pricing, tax, cash flow and operational data into one executive view.

This isn’t about replacing the software you already use. It’s about connecting it so you can understand the bigger picture and make better decisions.

Whether you’re already established or just starting out, building your own Founder Operating System will give you greater visibility into your business for years to come.

Live Online Workshop

Foundation

What I would do if I opened a café today.

A practical workshop for aspiring café owners, first-time operators, and anyone considering opening their next café.

This isn’t a barista course or a coffee-making class. It’s a business workshop built around the lessons I’ve learned growing from one café to four over the past 12 years — through COVID, inflation, labour shortages and a rapidly changing hospitality landscape.

We’ll cover the key decisions that have the greatest impact on long-term viability, including site selection, lease negotiation, operational design, menu strategy, staffing, technology, automation and the modern economics of running a café.

The goal is simple: help you avoid expensive mistakes and build a café with the best possible chance of succeeding in today’s environment.

Live Online Workshop

Turning Experience Into Opportunity

Most business owners don’t have a knowledge problem. They have a leverage problem.

AI doesn’t create expertise. It amplifies it. Most business owners already possess years of valuable experience, knowledge and insight. The challenge is not acquiring more knowledge — it’s organising, refining and sharing what you already know in a way that creates leverage, authority and opportunity. This practical online workshop explores the framework Greg uses to turn everyday observations, business experience and industry knowledge into assets, authority, opportunities and business growth, using AI as a thinking and execution tool.
