She came in asking about a registration portal. She left talking about putting Stageside under the Premier umbrella, an all-women convention, and a partnership with her CPA husband Ken.
Jamie has been searching for someone like me for months and didn't know where to look. Now she's pitching a partnership — registration portal first, then everything Premier Dance touches, then the whole dance industry through her connections.
Premier ran 769 optional event requests this year across 150 parents. The current Google Form is held together with locked cells and personal apology emails. She needs a real portal before her parent meeting kicks off the new season.
DSP makes her manually enter fees per kid. 155 kids, amounts that differ by literal cents. No itemized line items — she emails parents the breakdown of "$650 Talent on Parade" one at a time, monthly. This is Ken's territory and the reason for tomorrow's meeting.
Right now: DSP, Band, TeamUp, photos, livestream, masterclasses, schedule, recital tickets, merch — all in different tabs, all in different inboxes. She wants a Premier-branded PWA where parents bookmark one thing and find everything.
This is better than any livestream app I have ever used. You are potentially sitting on a gold mine.
I will always pay people for your time. Don't lowball me. I just can't pay ten or twenty thousand dollars for this.
Then I can use the platform of our social media to start pushing it. And I can send it to Tremaine. I can send it to Radix.
Jamie isn't pitching herself as a client. She's pitching herself as a partner. She wants to put Stageside under the Premier Dance umbrella, push it to her parents first, and use her connections to land it everywhere else.
Tremaine, Radix, Rubble · Justin Myers (executive director, Crunchtime / Showbiz) · Kerry LeGrand, planning a women-led convention with Jamie running it long-term · Tim, the photographer doing summer barn videography for Premier — could shoot pro marketing for the platform.
Then there's Ken. He's a CPA, runs his own firm, and runs the books for three of their businesses. He floated the idea of structuring this as a separate entity. He's the financial partner already in place.
So the move tomorrow isn't "win the registration project." It's "decide whether the registration project is the on-ramp to a real partnership."
Math: $10 per parent × 150 parents = $1,500 / mo. On-call model — like the well driller story. She's good with this. She has the same arrangement with the mom who built her website (invoices on her own pace, gets paid on credit).
What Ken will likely push on tomorrow: a clean scope, clear cadence, and whether this should be a separate entity or sit under Sunday Night AI.
This started as your idea on the couch a year and a half ago. Now Jamie is asking us to build it with her.
