I built a company the old way.
I’d never do it again.

I’m Chris. I live in Houston. I’ve spent my whole career selling things and building companies — some that failed, one that worked, and one that’s working right now in a way I didn’t think was possible a few years ago.

I started out as a sales guy carrying a bag. Selling taught me the one skill I still think matters more than any other for a founder: earning trust from a stranger. No software does that. It’s still the whole game.

Then came the failed startups. A few of them. Each one was an expensive lesson — building before selling, confusing a product with a business, hiring for problems I didn’t have yet. I don’t romanticize any of it. It was tuition.

Then RepeatMD, which I co-founded and we scaled the old way — by the book, literally. Hundreds of employees, teams of engineers, venture capital, the whole playbook. And it worked. That’s the part that makes what came next strange: the machine we built was a success, and the day it was finished I realized it was already obsolete.

What took us hundreds of people, a founder can now do with a handful — if the company is built AI-first from day one instead of bolting AI onto an old org chart. That’s what I’m doing now with BAM AI: automating revenue cycle work for medical practices, with agents doing jobs that used to take a back-office team. In production, at real practices, today.

This site is where I write about that — what’s actually working, what isn’t, and what I’d tell anyone trying to build a real business right now.

How to Build a Business Now

I’m writing a book about building a 9-figure business with a single-digit team — the honest story of scaling the old way, and the blueprint for doing it the new way. If you want it when it’s ready, leave your email.
