Build something real without losing your creativity, voice, or ownership.

I’m Jim Bumgardner. I help creators, independent businesses, and local communities cut through noise, reclaim momentum, and ship work that matters in the age of AI.

Most of us spend our days reacting to the world instead of building something in it. We get lost in the ‘grind’ and forget that we were meant to thrive, not just survive.

I’ve spent my career realizing that the secret to a meaningful life isn’t choosing between being a professional, a creator, or a neighbor—it’s realizing they all feed each other. My door is open to anyone who wants to stop ‘punching the clock’ and start building their own ecosystem.

Whether you’re looking for a way to scale your business without losing your soul, or you just need a reminder of the creative spark you had as a kid, I’ve built a few specific places to help you get there.

One way to start is by filing out our Evergreen Engine Questionnaire and see if we could be a good. No pressure, just clarity.
