We don't talk about theory. We build traction.

you don't need another strategy session.

About the House of Bricks
House of Bricks® started as a podcast. One mic. One message: tell the truth about what it takes to scale.
No fluff. No fluffers. Just founders who wanted more than advice. They wanted outcomes.
No fluff. No fluffers. Just founders who wanted more than advice. They wanted outcomes.
So we built it:
A full-stack growth platform
A battle-tested operating system
A relationship capital ecosystem
Alignment with founders we serve
We help execution-minded founders grow revenue, scale their team, raise capital, and prepare for exit.
Our system is called
S.O.S.™ – the S.I.M.P.L.E. Operating System:
Strategy. Innovation. Measurement. People. Leverage. Execution.
Everything runs inside Notion.
And yes, we use it ourselves.
We don’t just plan with you.
We build with you — Brick by Brick®.

Who We Serve
We work with execution-minded founders who:
- Are generating $500K–$5M in annual revenue
- Operate in SaaS, B2B services, trades, or home improvement
- Want to raise capital or prepare for exit
- Value systems, not hacks
- Are willing to do the work
We also work with veteran entrepreneurs ready to write the next chapter of their mission — in the boardroom, not the battlefield.
S.O.S.™ — S.I.M.P.L.E. Operating System
Our system wasn’t built in a vacuum.
It was forged in the middle of real growth problems.
We built it for ourselves — and now we deploy it for others.

Strategy
Clear priorities. Zero noise. Focus on what moves the needle.
Innovation
Rapid testing cycles. Faster learning. Immediate pivots when needed.
Measurement
Weekly KPIs that matter. Actionable insights, not vanity metrics.
People
Strategic hiring. Effective training. Leadership that inspires performance.
Leverage
Optimize tools, time, and talent. Do more with less.
Execution
Weekly accountability. Defined roles. Transparent progress tracking in Notion.
The Five Core Bricks
These are the pillars of everything we do:
1
Test. Fail. Learn. Grow.™ Flywheel
This is the founder’s path. You don’t learn unless you launch. We help you do both.
2
Relationship Capital Flywheel
Founders, mentors, investors, peers. Execution is easier with the right tribe.
3
Veteran Mission – Battlefield to Boardroom®
We help veteran entrepreneurs transition from military leadership to startup growth — with clarity and a team.
4
S.O.S.™ – S.I.M.P.L.E. Operating System
Real structure. Real dashboards. Real traction.
5
Train to Hire™ – Recruiting as a Service
You don’t need a recruiter. You need to know how to hire right the first time. We teach that.
The House Of Bricks Community
Founders need more than funding — they need a tribe.
