Pull up a chair.

If you’ve got something interesting to talk about or make, and I’ve actually got something useful or honest to add, I’m in.

Business, operations, AI, government contracting. Or moving across the world for love, starting over, faith, motorcycles, food and whatever else comes up. Conversations with me don’t have to stay in one lane.

  • Speaker bureau
  • Media kit
  • “As seen in”
  • Just a guy with a strange résumé and plenty to talk about

Pick a frequency. Here’s what’s on.

Not “signature speaking topics.” Just territory I can actually talk about, and the kind of questions that would make it a good conversation.

On88.1

Operations that actually work

Ownership, handoffs, visibility, CRM, workflow, automation and the founder who’s involved in everything. Technology should reinforce a process, not replace figuring out what the process is.

Ask me
  • Why does buying new software so rarely fix anything?
  • What does a founder being the bottleneck actually look like, day to day?
  • What makes the “Where is this?” questions stop?

Honest noteThis is the work I do every day. Happy to go deep. Not happy to do your ops audit live on air for free.

On90.5

The messy reality of building businesses

What businesses look like behind the polished website. Half-finished systems, things living in one person’s head, ideas that die, and the ones that work when nobody expected them to.

Ask me
  • What’s held together by hand in most businesses?
  • Which of your own ideas died, and why?
  • What does “it looks organized” usually hide?

Honest noteSome of my own experiments are on the bench right now. Some will fail. I’ll talk about those too.

On92.3

Customer success, the real version

Client journeys, setting expectations, communication, ownership, follow-through and why the experience changes depending on who picked up the phone.

Ask me
  • Where do clients quietly fall through?
  • Why does a consistent client experience take an operating system, not a nicer script?
  • Who should own the client after the sale?

Honest noteA lot of my working life has been spent inside client operations. I’ll talk from that, not from a framework.

On94.7

AI without the bullshit

I’m experimenting with an AI org chart: a COO-style agent, then Sales, Operations and Marketing agents, built with n8n and GoHighLevel. The question is whether it does useful work.

Ask me
  • Can agents actually hand work to each other?
  • Where does AI create real leverage in a small business?
  • Where does it just create more shit somebody has to monitor?

Honest noteI’m not an AI researcher, and I haven’t built an autonomous company. I’m testing it on real work and I’ll tell you what I don’t know.

On97.1

Government contracting, from the inside

Jeremy Allen Swink, LLC is pursuing U.S. federal work in operations consulting, process improvement, customer success systems, workflow, CRM, SOPs and planning. I’m a U.S. Army veteran.

Ask me
  • What’s it like learning the federal world as a small business?
  • What surprised you about it?
  • How does commercial operations work translate, or not?

Honest noteI’m learning and building in this world. I’m not a government-contracting guru and I won’t pretend to be one.

On99.5

Starting over somewhere else

An American who moved to Zamboanga City for love. Maricel, Hannah, Tommy and George. Working with U.S. businesses from the other side of the planet. Family, culture, identity, and building a home somewhere unexpected.

Ask me
  • What did you leave behind, and what do you still miss?
  • What’s it like working U.S. hours while your family lives a normal evening?
  • What does “home” mean now?

Honest noteThis isn’t an “escape America” story or a digital-nomad pitch. I moved for love and built a real life. That’s the conversation.

On101.9

The long way here

Army, construction, DJ work, marketing, customer success, operations, CRMs, consulting, businesses of my own, government contracting. None of it was a plan. All of it shows up in how I solve problems now.

Ask me
  • How does DJ work end up useful in operations?
  • What happens after the uniform comes off?
  • What’s the through-line, if there is one?

Honest noteThe long version lives on my Story page. In conversation I’ll give you the parts that matter for your audience.

On103.3

Faith

I’m a Christian, and I’m grateful to God for where my life has led. It’s part of my life, so it can be part of a conversation.

Ask me
  • Where does faith show up in an ordinary working week?
  • What does gratitude look like after a few hard resets?

Honest noteI’m not clergy, a theologian or a religious speaker. Just a guy who can talk about it genuinely.

The fun shit

Motorcycles. Food and cooking. Gaming. TV. DJing. Life in the Philippines. Random business ideas. Whatever I’m building this week.

Ask me
  • NMAX or something bigger?
  • What American food do you actually miss?
  • What’s the dumbest idea you’re still thinking about?

Honest noteNot every conversation has to be serious. Some of the best ones aren’t.

Talk about this ↓

Probably yes. With one condition each.

You don’t need a big audience or a polished pitch. You need something interesting to talk about or make. That’s enough to start.

  • Podcasts?

    Yes, ifthere’s a subject. Long-form is welcome, and business doesn’t have to be the only topic.

  • Interviews?

    Yes, ifyou’re curious about something real. Written, audio or video.

  • Video & livestreams?

    Yes, ifthe concept is interesting. I’ve got an entertainment and production background through Swink Entertainment.

  • Panels & events?

    Yes, ifthere’s a real question on the table and I’ve got something to add to it.

  • Business conversations?

    Yes, ifit’s a conversation. Founder to founder, operator to operator. If you need help with your business, that’s real work, and it lives at The Swink Group.

  • Guest writing?

    Yes, ifit has a point beyond the backlink.

  • Something weird?

    Yes, ifit’s interesting. It doesn’t have to fit a dropdown menu. Pitch it anyway.

Every conversation needs a reason to exist.

  • A subject
  • A story
  • A problem
  • A disagreement
  • A question
  • An experiment

Two people promoting themselves at each other for an hour isn’t one of them.

Probably not. Lovingly marked up.

I’m not hard to get along with. But these usually go straight to the pile.

    That’s a consulting call wearing a microphone.

Examples, obviously. Any resemblance to your inbox is not a coincidence.

Got something worth talking about? Tell me what you have in mind.

Four questions. It doesn’t need to be polished. A clear idea beats a slick one-sheet every time. Just want to say hello or reach me about something else? Email me directly at [email protected].

01What are we making?
03Why should it exist?

Rough is fine. Specific is better.

Where the professional stuff lives

If what you need is the work itself, not a conversation about it:

Want to know me first?

Fair. Most good conversations start with some homework.

Write to me

It’s — in Zamboanga City. If I don’t answer right away, I might be asleep.

Still writing the story.
