2nd Act Launchpad: Founding Cohort

Welcome to the 2nd Act Launchpad. An 8-week private 1:1 sprint for professionals who know they need to build something and are done waiting to start.

This is the founding cohort. There are ten spots. Seven are already taken. The three that remain are what this page is for.

Here is the foundation we build together over the next two months.

5 Private 1:1 Strategy Sessions One intake call plus four milestone sessions, 60 minutes each, every other week across the 8 weeks. Each one is built around your specific situation, your track, and the work you've done since the last call. No generic advice. Just the next right move for your 2nd Act.

The Complete 12-Prompt AI Coaching System + 3 Ongoing Tools The full methodology: four milestones, twelve structured prompts, and three ongoing tools, all designed to be run with an AI partner between our sessions. This is the part most coaching programs don't have. The system is the product. The calls are the accountability layer on top of it. You're not waiting for the next call to make progress. You're building every week, and you keep the entire system when the program ends.

By the end of the program, you will have:

• A validated direction, tested with real people, not just thought through in your head

• A complete offer, with your Minimum Viable Business defined, your Founding Member offer built, and your Seed Launch ready to execute

• A 90-day roadmap with specific milestones, a weekly rhythm, and a first move with a date and time attached

• A warm outreach engine, with 10 targets identified and your messages written, plus a content map you run once your offer is ready to go public

• A risk strategy for building without triggering your employer, your clients, or your reputation

• A discipline system: your Sacred Hours Contract, a Daily Win ritual, and a crisis protocol for when it gets hard

• Two permanent documents: The 2nd Act Blueprint, your complete plan in one readable file, and Your Business Brain, an AI context file that gives every future conversation perfect context

Direct Access Async messaging access to me for the full 8 weeks. When you hit a wall on a Tuesday morning, you don't wait for the next call. You message me, and we solve it. 24-hour response on business days.

Session Vault Every call is recorded. A written action plan with your key takeaways lands in your inbox within 24 hours of each session.

The Foxhole A private community of builders going through the same thing you are. Peer accountability and shared wins for the stretches between calls.

The Daily Proof Guarantee I'll refund 100% of your investment if this doesn't work. Here's all you have to do to qualify. Open a Google Doc twice a day. In the morning, write down what you're going to do. In the evening, write down what you did. Share that doc with me at the end of the program. If you've been showing up every day and you're still not getting the results you came for, you get every dollar back. No questions or hard feelings.

Here is everything you get, and what it's worth.

Five 1:1 sessions with me runs $7,500 at comparable executive coaching rates. That's just the accountability layer. The system you keep is worth more.

5 Private 1:1 Coaching Sessions with Mike Intake plus 4 milestone calls, 60 minutes each. Comparable 1:1 executive coaching runs $1,000 to $1,500 a session. ($7,500)

The 12-Prompt System + 3 Ongoing Tools The complete methodology, the product itself ($3,000).

The 2nd Act Blueprint + Your Business Brain The AI brain you keep and reuse long after the program ends. ($5,000)

Sacred Hours Contract + Employer Risk Audit Your signed discipline system, plus the audit that protects the day job. ($500)

Direct Access Line, Session Vault, The Foxhole (coming soon) Async messaging, recordings, private community (lifetime access). ($2,500)

Total value: $18,500

Founding Member Price: $2,497.

This is the lowest it will ever be. The price climbs with every person who books, on its way to the full $4,997. You get the founding rate because you're helping me build the proof: honest feedback, and a testimonial if you get results. You get in low and get more access. I get proof. That's the deal.

The 8-week clock starts the moment you book your intake call below. Let's get to work.
