Revealing Latent Potential
You need people who actually stay.
Training that actually lands.
A community that's actually here.
Mission-driven. Midwest-rooted. Built to stay.
How we close the gap
Every engagement is one of two things — upgrading the team you already run, or dropping the right people straight into it.
Upgrade the team you have
Install the training and systems that get your team running on Claude, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code — AI as a lever, not a replacement.
Bring in the talent you don't
Skip slow, risky hiring. We recruit and place mission-aligned, Claude-fluent talent — and grow our own through a 30-day internship. We stay involved after placement.
What we do
Ways to get unstuck.
Take one. Take several. Not everyone needs all of them — that's the point. Click any service.
AI Work Sprint
Your team leaves with AI doing three of its own jobs, and a report 30 days later that shows it stuck.
Half-day sprint→Team Training & Development
Get your team genuinely fluent in Claude, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code — hands-on training that sticks, delivered alongside your people.
Salesforce→Organizational Infrastructure
We deploy Claude, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code as the operating layer your team actually runs on — with permissions, safety, and clarity built in.
MAPSA→AI Training for Marketing Teams
Your team has Claude—now they need to actually use it.
Hands-on→Claude Code for Non-Developers
Teach your operations or admin team to automate small tasks with Claude Code—no developer required.
OperationsTalent Placement & Matchmaking
We source, vet, and place mission-aligned, Claude-fluent talent — vetted on real work with Claude, not just credentials.
Mission-aligned→Hire Senior Operations & Finance Talent Who Know Claude
Boutique recruiting for mid-market firms hiring senior operations, finance, and strategy talent who thrive in AI-fluent teams—founder-led, not vendor.
Claude-fluentOne team, built for the future of work.
We supply the talent, train the team, build everything on Claude, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code, and coach the leadership — with safety and a real commitment to inclusivity, DEI, and neurodiversity. Mission-driven, not extractive.
→Midwest Marketing Meetup
Our 288-member, free, bi-monthly community for marketers, creatives, and technologists in Grand Rapids. Not a product — how we give back.
Why this exists
"I built Unicorn Flames for the people the industry skips — no expensive conferences, no gatekeeping, no assumed head start. Just practical help, rooted in this community, that meets you where you actually are."
