About us
Uncovering opportunities. Delivering revenues.
Together we pursue 80/20 strategy-first opportunities - programs, products, markets, customers (donors), partners - to create long-term value for your organization and its stakeholders.
My story
Hi, I’m Don, an Alchemist. I am passionate about purpose and helping other purpose-driven people.
With shirt sleeves rolled-up, we discover 80/20 everywhere and put you in a position to do what you do best, and to do more with less.
We help you leverage relationships and resources for BIG results.
My superpower: "I see what others don’t see. I envision opportunities. I connect the dots. I help you execute for impact."
I know finding and trusting someone can be a challenge. A mentor who listens and co-creates with you. An advisor who adds strategic value, designs comprehensive plans, and works through an organizational development lens.
Or a project manager who executes for top-line and bottom-line results.
Our North Star
We believe in trusted, resourceful relationships, and partnerships...an extended "learning" enterprise.
We believe in being principle-based, data driven, holistically strategic, and customer centric.
Our history
I am a management consultant and organizational development mentor with experience across all three economic sectors and many different industries.
I have broad expertise in revenue generation and fundraising, sales, business development, marketing and communications, project management, sales distribution channels, and copywriting.
I bring together mutually beneficial upstream and downstream relationships. This can include BIG brands, local businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, associations, nonprofits, consulting firms, etc.
As a client, you get a senior level specialist at a fraction of the cost. And you can tap into my network of strategic relationships and subject-matter experts.

Your team
One for all, all for one!
Don Stephenson
Chief Alchemist
A Marketing DNA profile says I am a Systematic Creator/Producer. Someone who "turns lead into gold."
If you know what you want to achieve, but the path is not known, I can help. I will orchestrate, recombine, generate, create, invent, and innovate for your success.
I am also a Chameleon (a flexible, diplomatic team player); an Inventor/Wordsmith (a heart-directed copywriter); and an Inventor/Soulmate (psychic content writer).

Maryanne Stephenson
Partner-in-life.
Maryanne is the love of my life. My wife personifies love and kindness. She sees in me what I often don't. She builds me up. She cares. And she goes above and beyond, especially when I need her most.
Dave Stephenson
Partner-in-spirit.
Seldom a day goes by that I don't think about my late brother Dave. He passed away too soon on February 27, 2019. He lost a 3-year battle with leukemia (AML). Dave and I are identical twins. We did everything together - we were inseparable. We were one! We were best friends. Dave is with me always.
Our culture
Partnerships are built on dialogue. Dialogue is fueled by deep curiosity, genuine concern, and purposeful intent. You don't get to honest dialogue until you can prove you have trusted relationship and partnership potential (value). You don't get to honest dialogue until you are willing to listen, collaborate, compromise, give, and co-create.
