The Catalyst
Transformation—Not Another PDF
Every “coach” and “guru” online is selling the same thing.
A custom meal plan. A 30-day challenge.
An AI-generated report that tells you what you already know.
This isn’t that.
a Day in the life
The Catalyst doesn’t give you another PDF to skim and forget—it simulates your actual life and delivers real, actionable scenarios to help you make better choices in real time.
Imagine this:
- You wake up at 6 AM—The Catalyst knows how much you slept and suggests an optimized morning routine.
- Lunch break? It factors in your schedule, location, and goals, guiding you toward the best possible meal—not just the one a meal plan predicted.
- Late-night cravings? The Catalyst doesn’t shame you—it adapts, recalibrates, and keeps you on track.
This isn’t a static “plan.”
This is real-world coaching, powered by AI, tailored to you.
The Catalyst learns how you live, then guides you to live better.
Transformation, not another PDF.
How it works
Assess
Everything starts with you. A one-on-one consultation—live or video—where we understand your habits, challenges, and goals. No generic quizzes. No automated intake forms. Just real human insight.
Build
Using your data, The Catalyst generates a Day-in-the-Life scenario tailored to how you actually live. This isn’t another “plan.” It’s a realistic, personalized roadmap designed to fit into your world—not the other way around.
Evolve
Transformation isn’t static. The Catalyst adjusts, refines, and iterates based on your real-world experience, ensuring that your progress isn’t just effective—it’s sustainable.

I Built CI/CD Before It Had a Name They didn’t have names for this when I was doing it. In 2004, I developed a web application deployment process for Campbell-Ewald to replace a chaotic, developer-run system that led to constant broken builds, inconsistencies between environments, and an overall lack of control. I didn’t do it…
Why am I doing this?
Solid question. I started What Comes Next to answer that question for myself. The Catalyst is the natural extension of that—the spark that moves us from inertia into real transformation.As of February 2025, Generative AI has reached “buzzword” status. Every day, another startup rolls out an old solution dressed up as “Now with AI!” It’s…
