I picked this path because it maps directly to what I'm already doing. As an operations manager for a medical courier, I think in systems, and I'm better at diagnosing problems and explaining solutions than I am at building technical infrastructure. The "doctor who prescribes, not manufactures" framing clicked immediately; that's exactly how I already approach operations when I'm helping people. The bigger reason: I have a deadline. My wife retires in August. I need income streams that don't depend on me managing drivers and deliveries of blood and medical supplies. AI consulting gives me a fast path to revenue without waiting for content to build an audience first. What I'm most excited about is the warm outreach model. I already have relationships — drivers, clients, local businesses. I don't need to start from zero. I just need to start.
