Private strategic advisory

The business mind they did not see coming.

The black hat buys the first ten seconds. The thinking is what they remember.

For 20 years, people have called me when the obvious answer is wrong. Founders, CEOs, and people in the middle of complicated situations come for one thing: the angle nobody else in the room caught. Sometimes it takes an hour. Sometimes it takes five minutes. Either way, it is usually the part they still remember years later.

Why a rabbi, and why it matters to your bottom line

Trained to argue with a single word until the real meaning shows up.

I was trained in a tradition that will turn a single word over for centuries until its real meaning finally surfaces. That is not a nice metaphor for a website. It is the actual skill: finding the flaw in the plan everyone already signed off on, the price you are leaving on the table, the reason your best client keeps stalling.

I have been pointing that habit of mind at business problems for two decades, across thousands of private sessions, long enough to know which patterns repeat and which ones only look like they do. Clients do not come to me for a framework they could download. They come because the thinking is different, and the decision they walk out with is one they can actually act on.

What you actually get

The decision, made. Not a deck.

No slide deck, no framework, no homework. You leave the session knowing what to do next and why, usually with one reframe worth more than you paid for the hour. That is the whole point: the decision, made.

One example

A single conversation, a result out of proportion to it.

[ Your story goes here. Three or four sentences: a client stuck on something concrete, the one thing you said, and what changed. A real number makes it land. Remove this box once written. ]

What clients actually say.

"Five minutes with him are worth hours of meetings with anybody else."

Dr. Leah Gniwesch, PhD. It is the same comment, over and over, from people who are hard to impress.

"I have an MBA in marketing and come from a family of MBAs. After one session I was blown away by the clarity and depth. I found my marketing person for life."

Sharon Feingold, MBA

"Since I walked out that door, my company jumped from level 2 to level 5, skipping 3 and 4. That is the power of Rabbi Issamar."

Yossi Fisch
E-commerce founder

"When it comes to marketing and PR, there is none better. He has never failed to deliver, and has earned my highest recommendation."

Peter Economy
"The Leadership Guy" at Inc.com, WSJ bestselling author

"If you need a creative genius who sees around corners, you have found him."

Jeff Herman
Literary agent, nearly 1,000 book deals

"Whether you are a CEO with 2,000 employees or a startup with 3, Rabbi Issamar is the man to consult with. His insights are priceless."

Start here

One hour. One decision. One clear next step.

The first session

Start with one hour. Leave with the reframe.

One focused session on the decision actually in front of you. We take the question keeping you up at night and look several moves ahead: the risks, the timing, the openings most people walk right past. You walk out with something you can use this week.

This is working time from the first minute. No free trial, no discovery call, no sitting through a pitch. You get the thinking, and you leave with something worth more than the hour.

I open a limited number of first sessions each month. When they are gone, they are gone.

Enhanced deliverables

When you need it built, not just advised

Some projects get built for you, fast, using AI-accelerated processes I have refined over years.

  • Messaging and brand positioning
  • Copywriting for key assets and campaigns
  • Book creation and signature intellectual property
  • Research and competitive analysis
  • Campaign and go-to-market strategy

Because this work uses AI, it is billed at 1.5x the usual rate. And when a project includes AI video, the heavy generation credits it consumes are billed in addition, at cost, since that compute expense is real and climbs quickly with volume.

Speaking and workshops

For teams, events, and offsites

Talks that put real strategy next to old wisdom, for rooms of entrepreneurs and executives navigating change. Or bring me in to work directly with your leadership team on positioning and decision-making. Paid, focused sessions, not free consulting from the stage.

Resources

Evaluate the thinking, not references.

Public content

Articles, interviews, and appearances show how I actually think. If you want to judge whether this is right for you, start there, not by asking past clients for references.

Stay in touch

To hear when new resources go out, or when I open limited advisory capacity, email me with "Keep me updated" in the subject line.

Keep me updated
How engagements work

Two ground rules, because they save us both time.

Every working conversation is paid

I give away plenty for free every week, on the podcast and in my writing, and I am glad to. But the actual thinking, applied to your situation, is the work, and the work is paid. No free "pick your brain" calls.

Your name stays yours

I will never hand out a client's details so a stranger can check references. Judge the thinking from everything I have put out in public. There is a lot of it.

If you are ready to move forward

Clarity first, then paid work.

If you are weighing an engagement and need help choosing the right option, or have a logistical question before booking, email me directly.
