BRIGGS

14 years inside defense, aerospace, healthcare, and international trade on the contracts and compliance that actually kept things moving. Not advising. Doing it. The tools I sell are the ones I built because no one sold them to me.

Who I Am

MOST OF THIS
IS NOT THAT
COMPLICATED.

Consultants charge $400 an hour to explain things that are not actually that hard. I know because I ran commercial and government contracts and built full compliance infrastructure from scratch without outside counsel, across $14.7B defense pursuits, export-controlled hardware, multi-entity JVs, and $100M+ healthcare portfolios.

My background in Philosophy of Law is not incidental. It is how I approach every framework: find the principle underneath the rule, and the rule stops being scary. That is what the products here teach. Not theory. The actual system.

Two Channels

CONTRACTS AND COMPLIANCE IS THE BUSINESS.
NARRATIVE EDGE IS THE PERSON.

Compliance Channel

CONTRACTS.
COMPLIANCE.
DONE RIGHT.

Commercial contracts, government contracts, export control, CMMC, ITAR, CUI. Practical tools built by someone who ran these programs without a consultant. No fluff. No manufactured complexity. Just the parts that actually matter.

Narrative Edge

HISTORY.
MUSIC. GOLF.
EVERYTHING.

Any topic. Always the same lens. Counter-narrative history, EDM structure and mixing, golf, snowboarding, competitive gaming, fitness, biohacking, building AI agents in Discord, Audible deep dives, faith. The thread is not the subject. It's how I think about them.
