Build what matters to you. Develop the ability to carry it forward.
You have a business to grow, an idea to work through, or a problem that deserves more attention than you have been able to give it.
You may already use AI. You see people creating things with it and want that ability for yourself. You want to understand how to reason with it, put it to useful work, and keep learning as the possibilities change.
Work directly with Todd Cahill and Nate May of Expansive Thinking on what you want to accomplish, the person it will require you to become, and the skills and systems that will help you get there.
Tell us what you have in mind. We’ll take time to understand it before recommending how we might work together.
Maybe you heard us on a Tuesday night. Maybe someone you trust sent you here. You want to know who we are, what we can bring to your situation, and whether you would enjoy doing serious work with us.
We want to understand you, too. What are you building? Why does it matter? Where could you use help?
Todd and Nate have known each other for twenty-eight years. Through teaching and working with clients together, we’ve connected personal coaching with the thinking, skills, and practical work it takes to build.
Todd is an entrepreneur, coach, and author of You vs. You. He brings years of experience building teams and businesses, navigating setbacks, and helping people work through the decisions in front of them.
He works directly with you on the personal demands of growing and building, with attention to how you think, how you act, and what you want your life to become.
Nate is the founder of Expansive Thinking. He has spent close to three decades building businesses and has worked with more than fifty companies across manufacturing, service trades, medical and dental practices, professional services, and personal brands.
He brings that business judgment into your situation, develops the strategy and systems around it, and teaches you to reason and create with AI through the work itself.
Every engagement includes personal coaching, focused business thinking, a foundation for your AI to work from, and instruction in using it well. We agree on the depth, format, and scope with you before beginning.
Coaching with Todd
Work one-on-one with Todd on the thinking, habits, and follow-through your next stage requires. His You vs. You coaching stays connected to the decisions you’re making and the work you’re doing.
You have someone asking honest questions, helping you work through what holds you back, and following up on the commitments you make.
Expansive Thinking Lab
With Nate, bring the real business problem or growth initiative to the table. We gather the intelligence, decide the strategy, map how it will work, and develop the agreed assets. Your customer, offer, messaging, and operations belong in that thinking.
You help shape the direction before we build.

Through interviews, Nate helps capture how you think, what you value, and where your business is going. We organize that into two reusable documents: Leadership Cognition Infrastructure for your judgment, and Company Cognition Infrastructure for your business direction.
You own these documents. We help you put them into your AI instructions, projects, and conversations so the machines have relevant context to work from.

Nate created Expansive Intelligence to teach the skill of working with AI. You practice giving useful direction, exploring possibilities, challenging answers, and turning sound thinking into work you can use.
You learn through your own work, developing an ability you can keep applying as the tools change.

Learn while you do the work, have us carry more of the execution, or combine both. We shape that balance around your goals and the time you have.
Something You Can Use
An offer and its launch materials. A website, workflow, or tool your team needs. We agree on the deliverables, responsibilities, and support in your proposal.
When the direction is clear and the scope is focused, we can move quickly. Some engagements take a week. Others need several weeks or longer.
The schedule follows the work. Tell us what you have in mind, what already exists, and when you need it. We’ll propose a realistic way forward.
If you’re serious about building something of significance and giving it a real shot at lasting, we’re your kind of people.
Good work can happen quickly. It still takes honest thinking, sound decisions, and a willingness to follow through. Bring that willingness, whether you have an early idea or an established business.
We care about the people we work with and the quality of what we put into the world. Faith is foundational to both of us. Our values shape the work we take on and the commitments we keep.
Walk us through who you are, what you want to accomplish, and where you could use help. The questions below take you one step at a time.
Todd and Nate review what you share to understand your situation and prepare for a conversation. Todd then texts you personally and includes Nate in a group text so we can find a time to connect over the phone.
We talk through the work you have in mind, share our thinking, and explore the questions that need attention. You get a sense of how we think and work. Together, we decide whether there is a good fit.
If we both feel it is a good fit, we prepare a proposal around the work we discussed and send it for you to review. It explains the scope, what each of us will contribute, the timing, and the investment. You have room to consider it and ask questions before deciding.
Give us a sense of who you are, what matters to you, and the work you have in mind. Use your own words.
This is the first step toward exploring a paid engagement with Todd and Expansive Thinking. Scope and pricing follow our understanding of the work. Sending your information carries no obligation.
What happens next?
Todd and Nate review what you send and prepare. Todd texts you personally and includes Nate in a group text so we can schedule a phone conversation. If we both feel it is a good fit, a custom proposal follows.
