You’ve got advisors. You may have a board. You don’t have anyone who works like we do.
We coach founders, CEOs, executives, and other professionals operating at altitude and velocity.
Our work covers everything you’re actually thinking about: the company, the team, the partner, the body, the money, the meaning, the ideas you haven’t told anyone yet, the conversations you don’t have anywhere else.
We also consult on the parts most coaching doesn’t reach: technology, AI, the org transition underneath a platform rebuild.
We have opinions about your tech stack and your peptide stack. We’re called Polymath because that’s what we are: smart, deeply curious, and in love with figuring things out.
Selected past and present clients
The Polymath Practice
We are Nick and JT — married and in business together since 2008. Between us we’ve started, sold, and shut down companies, taken one public, run software and design consultancies, opened a gym and a smoothie bar, and shipped products across every major technology shift since dial-up.
What We Do
Executive Coaching
The one person looking at all of you at once. Long arcs, deep conversation, and real results, in every part of your life, not just the part with the job title.
Leadership Team Coaching
Your team in the room together, not just in five separate engagements. How you decide, how you fight, how you recover, how you actually function as a unit.
Workshops
Breakthrough, our marquee three-day workshop, plus custom workshops designed for the moment your team is actually in.
Offsites & Retreats
We design and facilitate offsites that produce real outcomes, not just team photos. We handle the design, the room, and the facilitation.
Conference Design & Facilitation
Programming, emceeing, and on-stage facilitation, for the invite-only summits, founder gatherings, and industry events that need to land.
Fractional Leadership & Transformation
When the org needs more than a coach, we step in as a fractional CxO and run the transformation — technology, culture, and people, usually all changing at once.
Tech & AI
Scope the AI initiative. Lead the consulting engagement on your side of the table. Stand up an AI-first org without breaking the company you have.

CoachClaw
Coaching happens for an hour. The work happens in the 167 hours between. CoachClaw is the AI we’re building to extend your coach into those hours: same coach, same questions, full context.
It’s the thing we wanted as coaches and couldn’t find, so we built it. It’s in pre-1.0 beta with a small group of our clients.
Why Us
We’ve sat in the chair you’re in.
CEO, CTO, founder, operator, advisor — between us we’ve held all of these. We coach from inside the work, not next to it.
Nothing is off the table.
Performance, sleep, training, peptides, hormones, marriage, sex, money, mortality, meaning. If it’s in your life, it’s in the work.
You get both of us.
Eighteen years married, multiple companies built together. The clients who get the most out of us tend to use both.
We build the AI we’re talking about.
We coach with it. We’re building CoachClaw with it. We can think with you about AI at the speed it’s actually changing.
We’re in it for the long haul.
Most of our clients work with us for years, not months. The relationship is built for the depth that takes.
We live the life we recommend.
In shape. Married eighteen years. Living across four places we chose. Reading and experimenting our way through everything we suggest you try.
What People Say
A few notes from clients and offsite groups we’ve worked with.
The reason I chose to work with Nick is simple: he cares deeply. He is someone that truly wants to know the whole person he is working with — not just what they want to do with their lives career-wise, but how that interacts with the other roles we play in life. His superpower is helping you to unlock the answers for yourself. Nothing has done more for my self-confidence than to understand that I actually have answers to my problems — once you realize that, everything seems possible.
Some people are bestowed with a bright light and I believe there is responsibility with that brightness: to help others find, facilitate and flip their light on. This is really where I truly believe Nick thrives as a coach. I have successfully cut ties with those draining relationships and organizations with his help. I have also acted in a film, created and completed my own film, directed and completed a feature film, and began a more potent voice acting career.
From a recent exec offsite
Nick and JT are two of the most welcoming, warm people you’ll meet and get along with straight away. Their energy, passion, and the simplicity in how they do things adds true value to what you are learning.
Nick and JT were great facilitators, bringing their experience (and energy) from the coaching world to our company.
Nick and JT are amazing. They bring a lot of expertise in areas such as team building, team bonding, and leading events.
Nick and JT were great — from how they got everyone on board to how they allowed us to be more comfortable in our deeper thoughts.
They make team bonding fun and effortless.
They brought the energy, fun, and care to the group in a way that can make these closed sessions awkward for people. It was reassuring and refreshing.
They made us feel right at home and helped us genuinely connect with teammates we were just getting to know. From small talk to fun deep dives, they created space for us to discover how much we have in common.
