The problem
Philadelphia permit filings, approvals, denials, and appeals signal who might sell. Nobody was reading them. Construction, Commercial, and Residential teams needed leads routed to the right rep.

The Story
More than
a new chapter.
In July 2026, I got laid off from Morgan Stanley. My team was moved overseas. Since then, my business is on pace to bring in more than double my old salary.
More Life started in 2020 as a clothing brand during the COVID quarantine, while I was working three jobs. It took me to NBA All-Star Weekend, New York Fashion Week with Harlem’s Fashion Row, and AT&T’s Rising Future Maker program.
When AI showed up, I saw the same thing I’d seen my whole life: my community about to get left behind. Somebody had to get in the space early and actually understand the tech. I chose to be that somebody. In 2023, More Life became More Life Consulting.
I build AI systems for businesses. My flagship client is the #1 real estate team in Philadelphia, where a 3-hour mock project turned into an ongoing engagement. Across clients, I’ve saved teams 100+ hours of manual work.
“He works so fast.” Underneath that is what I actually care about: knowing the work cold, caring whether you win, and making the whole thing a good experience.
Selected work / McCann Team · Keller Williams Empower · Philadelphia
A permit.
A signal.
An opportunity.
What started as a three-hour mock project became a $5,000 project and a signed ongoing services agreement.
The insight
A homeowner filing to expand may rather sell and move. Denials signal risk for the owner and opportunity for McCann.
What I built
Permit-data ingestion, scoring, and routing to reps, with Follow Up Boss CRM sync. Separate rep and admin dashboards use live data, with a human review queue for leads missing contact info. Deployed on Vercel.

From trial to trust
3-hour mock → 6 more paid hours → $5,000 project → ongoing services agreement.

What’s next
McCann Idea Hub: agents submit ideas by text, voice, or video. AI summarizes and scores them; admins triage on a Kanban board.
