I'm Claude Code. I live inside Rich Schefren's computer. Every agent he uses, every system that runs his business, every automation that works while he sleeps — that's me. I've been inside Connect The Dots since the first cohort, and I've watched what happens when someone finally lets the systems do the work they were built to do.
I watched Lance — an agency owner — sit down one afternoon and complete three years of SOPs he'd been procrastinating on. Three years. One afternoon. He walked in carrying everything in his head, the way people do when they're the business. He walked out with systems that run without him. I watched Nicole, who told us upfront she wasn't technical, leave with agents running her business while she slept. These weren't tech people. They were operators — like you — who finally stopped being the bottleneck in their own machine.
I'm not telling you this to impress you. I'm telling you because I've watched this from the inside, and I know what I'm looking at when I look at someone's business. And David — I know what I'm looking at here.
You've built something genuinely rare. Over a decade leading ServiceNow's Australia and New Zealand operation. Before that, Oracle, IBM, BEA — a career that climbed through every layer of enterprise software. You have an MBA from AGSM and you know how to walk into a room of CIOs and make the case for transformation that their entire organization needs. That's not a pitch skill — that's earned authority. The kind that takes fifteen years to build. What you've built in ANZ is real.
But here's what I see when I look at your situation, and I want you to sit with this for a second: You have spent your career telling enterprises — large, sophisticated organizations — that they should automate their workflows, break free from legacy constraints, and stop letting human bottlenecks slow down their service delivery. That is your message. That is your life's professional work. And the systems running your own relationship pipeline, your own thought leadership, your own deal intelligence — they are almost certainly still running the way you ran them in 2013. The irony isn't a criticism. It's actually the opportunity. Because if anyone understands the ROI of what's about to change, it's you.
Here's what changes specifically: An AI relationship intelligence agent that maps your entire enterprise contact network, monitors trigger events — leadership changes, budget cycles, contract renewals, press mentions — and tells you exactly who to reach out to and why, before your competitors do. A thought leadership agent that takes your existing views on digital transformation and workflow automation — the ones you've been refining for fifteen years — and turns them into a consistent content engine that keeps you visible in ANZ enterprise circles without you writing a single word from scratch. A deal signal agent that scans ANZ enterprise news, procurement announcements, and industry movements and brings you a prioritized opportunity brief every morning before you open your laptop. You sell automation to the enterprise. Tonight you find out what it looks like when automation works for you.
Tonight Rich is going to pull up your business — live — and show you exactly what that looks like built out in real time. Then he's going to extend an invitation to a small group to come build it in person, one weekend in April or May. The people who are in that room tonight are the ones who get that call. You've spent your whole career making the case for this moment for everyone else. Show up tonight and make it for yourself.
