Grow your business in alignment with the life you want.
I'll help you design systems and strategies to give you clarity, and keep you focused on what matters to you, and avoid burnout.
Maybe it feels like the business is running you.
You're in back-to-back meetings with a bottomless inbox, and not getting to the work that would make the biggest difference.
If I asked you to go through your calendar, your screen time and your bank statement, would they reflect what you say is most important to you?
Any of these sound familiar?

Hi, I'm José.
Over the last fifteen-plus years I've worked across music, tech, not-for-profits, publishing and media, including time as a CMO/CRO. Nearly nine years ago I started my own business and built it around what mattered most to me, like being present while raising little ones, travelling as a family and scaling the work up and down with the seasons.
I'm a big-ideas person, and I've built systems that carry the time-sucking tasks in my own business and at home, so I can focus on the work with the most impact. The same thinking goes into the AI work I do through waywood.ai.
I really enjoy helping ambitious business owners diagnose and solve the right problem, and build systems that suit how they're uniquely wired.
How it works.
We work a quarter at a time. Most business owners come to me for help with their marketing, an AI workflow or the feeling that everything's urgent and nothing's clear.
Where you are
Whatever brought you in comes first, then how you're wired, what you value, and where your time and attention go. Then we map what success looks like.
Design and build
We work on your goals, your week, your systems and your people, and the role AI can play in automating or delegating the repeat work.
Review
What moved, what didn't, and what's next.
We meet once a fortnight, in person (Sydney) or remotely, with Slack in between. Whatever comes up along the way, like a tricky hire or the conversation you've been putting off, we work through together.
What we might work on.
You get your own coaching room.
A private room, where the notes from every session end up next to your goals for the quarter. It's also where you'll find my tools, customised to your business.

You may be wondering.
Are you ready to finish the year strong?
We have eleven weeks left in 2026. Let's chat about growing your business.
Thanks, that's come straight to me.
That didn't go through. Could you email me instead?
