Project WE

Where we build what works
in real time.

Every Wednesday, we test ideas, share results, and build tools together. Where breakthrough thinking becomes real world solutions.

Recent Sessions

April 15, 2026
Car Wash Partnership, Cross-Pollinator Demo & Gamified Loyalty Loop Vision
Larry demoed the cross-pollinator card builder (significant UX improvements — auto-logo pull, repositionable backgrounds, category stock images) and previewed an AI search visibility scoring tool Jeff hadn't seen. Joe surfaced a live partnership with Whitewater, a growing national car wash chain, which immediately unlocked a needed feature: QR/barcode upload for the card builder. Brooke's fundraiser calendar drove a discussion on two automation gaps — charity auto-notification and end-of-campaign payment prompts — both previously dropped in the platform rewrite. The call ended with Larry sketching a geolocation-triggered, automated cross-business loyalty loop that left the room energized.

Prototype

How Project WE Works

1 PM Pacific, every Wednesday. The call starts with a pressing challenge. We dig into it together: shops sharing what they've tried, developers showing what's possible, everyone contributing insights.

Within the hour, patterns emerge. Someone's inventory problem is actually everyone's data visibility problem. A customer communication frustration reveals a missing automation trigger. A success story from one shop becomes a prototype for all shops.

By week's end, you have a summary document showing what we discovered, what we decided to build, and what got shipped. No slide decks. No theory. Just working solutions.

This is how the platform actually gets built—not from roadmap meetings in conference rooms, but from real problems solved by shops working with people who can ship working prototypes immediately.

Join the next Wednesday session.

Bring your challenge. We'll build the solution. Together.
