You're stuck, not stupid.

Systems-to-People Translator • Information Security Expert • Strategic Consultant

You've read the books. Asked smart people. Still no decision.

I know what that feels like. You're drowning in options, everyone has an opinion, and you just want someone to help you see what you're actually choosing between.

I help founders and leaders stop overthinking and start moving. No frameworks, no endless analysis. Just direct questions that cut through the noise.

What I Actually Do

I'm that outside perspective you need when you're too close to see the forest for the trees. With 15+ years of translating technical complexity into human decisions, I help you figure out what you're actually choosing between—and why you're stuck on it.

Three ways we can work together

Pick what works for you.

How I Help Technical Leaders Make Better Decisions

For Urgent Decisions

90-minute clarity sessions for immediate breakthroughs on stuck projects, strategic pivots, or critical choices.

For Complex Strategy

Multi-session engagements with custom frameworks for technical strategy, organizational alignment, and high-risk decisions.

For Ongoing Support

Monthly strategic partnerships for continuous clarity, accountability, and executive-level thinking support.

What Makes It Different

Systems thinking + technical expertise + neurodivergent perspective = decisions that actually work in practice.

Clarity Session

90‑minute breakthrough

You've been chewing on this decision for weeks. Your team is getting tired of hearing about it. Time to just figure it out.

  • 90‑min intensive
  • Relentless questioning
  • Action plan in 24 h
  • Confidential

Best for: Urgent decisions · stuck projects · strategic pivots

Strategic Consulting

Deep‑dive engagement

This isn't a one-conversation fix. Too many variables, too many opinions, too much at stake. Let's map it out.

  • Multi‑session
  • Custom frameworks
  • Decision architecture
  • Implementation roadmap

Best for: Complex strategy · org alignment · high‑risk bets

Strategic Partnership

Ongoing thinking partner

You've got enough advisors giving you their opinions. What you need is someone who asks the right questions.

  • Monthly check‑ins
  • On‑demand clarity
  • Accountability
  • Executive sparring

Best for: CEOs & founders who value continuous clarity

Hi, I’m Braeden Mitchell

I help you figure out what you actually need to do when everyone has an opinion but nobody has a plan.

I've been there. I'm notorious for starting projects and never finishing them. My ADHD brain bounces between 47 different solutions before breakfast. Fifteen years of screwing up and figuring it out taught me something: you're not stupid. You're just trying to solve the wrong problem.

I translate technical complexity into human decisions. I take the messy reality of what you're dealing with and help you see what you're actually choosing between.

Why Clarity Matters for Technical Leaders

Confusion is expensive. When decisions stall, projects languish and stress mounts. I bring systems thinking, strategic frameworks, and a no-fluff perspective to figure out what's actually blocking you—and how to move forward.

Common Decision Challenges I Solve:

  • • Technical strategy that aligns with business goals
  • • Security investments that enable (don't block) growth
  • • Team decisions when stakeholders are deadlocked
  • • Technology choices with long-term implications
  • • Resource allocation under uncertainty

  • 15+ years of turning complex challenges into clear action plans

  • Trusted by founders, execs & MSPs to solve the problems that stop progress

  • Confidential, neutral advice—no vendor pitches or fluff

Clients stop spinning, start deciding

A few snapshots of what happens when clear thinking meets real problems.

Strategic Pivot

SaaS founder torn between 3 paths

6‑month stall ➜ 90‑min session ➜ one roadmap in 48 h.

“Most valuable hour of my quarter. Finally had a plan I could actually execute.”

Team Alignment

Healthcare execs deadlocked on privacy

Conflict ➜ multi‑session sprint ➜ unified framework & rollout.

“You found the real problem—turns out we'd been arguing about the wrong thing.”

Crisis Decision

PM facing user backlash

Root‑cause session ➜ real issue found ➜ costly pivot avoided.

“Nobody else wanted to ask the uncomfortable questions. Glad you did.”
