Mission Clarity
Cutting through twelve good options to find the one that actually moves the business. Removing optionality so execution gets faster.
Executive Consulting & Advisory
Quiet, deliberate counsel for operators carrying real weight.
Private 1:1 advisory with David Adam Kurz. For founders, CEOs, and senior operators who don't need motivation — they need a clearer mission, sharper decisions, and the discipline to execute when the room is on fire.
By application only
Is this right for you
Two short lists. Read both before you write to me. Fit matters more than fee — and it saves us both time.
This is for you if
- You are a founder, CEO, or senior leader carrying P&L responsibility
- You have crossed the finish line on early survival and are now navigating scale
- You are comfortable being told the truth without softening
- You value discretion and one-to-one work over group programs
- You are willing to apply frameworks before you negotiate terms
This is not for you if
- You are looking for hype, certifications, or a bigger network
- You want a coach to validate decisions you have already made
- You are pre-revenue and need a tactical operator instead
- You cannot or will not protect 90 minutes a week for the work
- You are looking for a real estate sales coach (different practice, see Speaking)
A note from David
The practice
I run a small private advisory practice from Miami, FL. The work is one-to-one, retained, and built around the operator I am working with — not a curriculum.
Every engagement begins with a 90-minute fit conversation. If we both decide there is a fit, the work runs in 90-day arcs: an initial intensive to set the mission and identify the binding constraint, then bi-weekly working sessions to remove obstacles and pressure-test decisions in real time. Between sessions, I am reachable by text or voice when something needs a fast second opinion.
I take on a small number of clients at any given time. I have turned down more engagements than I have taken — not because the work was uninteresting, but because fit matters more than fee. If we are not the right fit, I will tell you that on the call and point you toward someone who is.
Scope
What we work on
Four domains. Most engagements live in two or three of them at any given time.
Capital & Risk Decisions
High-stakes capital allocation, partnership decisions, exit conversations. Pressure-tested in private before they go to the board.
Leadership Under Fire
Building the discipline to lead clearly when the room is loud. Marine operator frameworks adapted for the C-suite.
Identity & Endurance
The personal architecture behind sustained performance. Marriage, faith, recovery, and the long game.

Common questions
Questions, briefly answered
Is this coaching?
No. Coaching implies skills. Consulting implies counsel. This is private 1:1 advisory work for operators who already have the skills and need clearer decisions and disciplined execution.
How is this different from your Speaking work?
Speaking is one-to-many. Consulting is one-to-one and confidential. The two practices do not overlap.
Do you take equity in lieu of fees?
In rare cases, yes. Discussed only after a successful 90-day arc.
Where do sessions happen?
In person at my Miami office or yours, or virtual. Most retainer clients run a hybrid.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes — every engagement begins with a mutual NDA before we get into specifics.
If this is what you have been looking for, the next step is one conversation.
