What people say about working with Alex

Alex is a dream Operating Partner. I’ve seen him replace whole content teams with human-enabled AI set-ups, and build custom internal technology that better suits the client than the six-figure legacy technology they were paying for. It’s hard to find someone who can see high-level strategy and link it, very practically, to in-the-trenches operating systems. Alex does this better than anyone I know.

Alex has consistently been a great mentor and trusted sounding board. He has a real talent for bringing fresh perspective to business ideas, cutting through complexity, and helping shape practical, lean, and effective ways to move things forward. His insight, energy, and entrepreneurial mindset make him a real asset to any venture.

the offer

What you’re actually paying for

This is a small, deliberately curated room, not another content library. Every member is running something real, so the conversations are about your pipeline, your prices and your systems, not theory. I keep it tight enough that I know what everyone is building.

Every new member gets a 1-to-1 call with me to make sure we help you hit your goals and build with intention. Then the rhythm: live workshops, show-and-tells and open office hours, flexing around what the room needs. Everything recorded, plus a skills library of the systems and patterns I actually use.

Join the community, or work with me 1:1

Two ways to do this. The community is the room; Leanpreneur 1:1 is private, structured work on your own business. The quickest way to know which fits is fifteen minutes on a call with me.

Community, £129 / month

A small, curated room of operators, not an audience. Workshops, show-and-tells and office hours, a skills library, and a 1-to-1 onboarding call with me so you get value from week one.

Leanpreneur 1:1

Private working sessions on your own business. We set the plan, fix the prices, build the pipeline, and I hold you to the activity that makes sales, with access to me between sessions. A small number of places, by application.

who this is for

Honest fit check

You’ll fit if

  • You run your own business, or you operate as an intrapreneur inside a larger one
  • You care about margin, leverage, and time, not just revenue
  • You want a peer group of people building the same way
  • You’re curious about AI but want to separate signal from noise
  • You don’t need hand-holding, you need a sounding board

Probably not for you if

  • You’re looking for a course or step-by-step training
  • You want someone to do the work for you
  • You want a general AI learning community
who’s running this

You’ll be in a small room with me.

I’ve spent twenty years building businesses, fifteen of them running my own. Today I run four lean businesses, including Bolt Search (where I replaced most of the team with systems and kept the revenue) and Find a Training Provider, and I built the operating systems behind a growing food retail business.

Alongside them: an M&A partnership at Thomsett Lockey, principal at The Satori Partnership, and a board advisory seat at SIAS. I’m not teaching theory. I’m sharing what I actually do, and creating a space for other operators to do the same.
