I gave both my parents a subscription to the services that email a question each week, and they found each email a chore to answer, as each week's question was a generic blank canvas they had to try and fill in. Irv asks personalized and thoughtful questions as a caring friend would, so there's no effort to get started or keep the answer flowing.

You don't need anything new to get started. Irv will call you on any phone number you provide, and you'll get your recorded stories sent right to your email.

It only takes a few minutes to hear Irv's voice and test what answering some questions feels like, so the homepage has a free number to call, with no obligation or pressure to sign up on the call.

I'm a big believer in having an agnostic approach to tools. I use Claude for orchestration, Cursor for tight visual loop work and GPT for technical reviews, and I built OzBrain so I could move between them and carry all my knowledge with me, so any chat or agent picks up where another left off.

Everything is track changes. You stage, you promote, and there's conflict resolution for writes, so many agents can work at the same time. Old thinking deprecates and links to the newest thinking instead of being erased.

I built it for myself. I've got several hundred articles in it and I live by this thing.

There are hundreds of millions of incredibly passionate fans across sports, entertainment, music, and affinity, and I think domain names are an incredibly underutilized, high-value asset. FanForward explores the idea of connecting fans directly to the brand domains of the things they're most passionate about and creating a highly profitable communication channel for the brands.

I built signup, confirm and receiving to work end to end first, and left payment as the last step before launch.
