Useful conversations
Readers and viewers can respond to a concrete idea instead of a generic pitch.
A transparent opportunity map
Proof before promotion.
A Money Tree is not a revenue claim. It is a map of how real work can compound: evidence becomes useful content, useful content builds trust, and trust creates the right conversations.
The tree
Rooted in work that already exists.
Canopy
Team learning
Published explanations become reusable training material for the people doing the work.
Future opportunities
Visible proof can lead to collaborations, agent builds, and new questions worth solving.
Branches
AI build logs
Short, honest reports from systems being mapped, tested, and improved.
Technical breakdowns
Accessible explanations that connect research ideas to practical work.
Visual field notes
Whiteboards, diagrams, and concise videos that make the moving parts clear.
Trunk
This website
The entity home that connects the biography, research, video, and channels.
YouTube
The public home for walkthroughs, demonstrations, and lessons from each build.
Definitive articles
Durable written references that preserve the complete method behind a video.
Roots
Five publications
DOI-backed work across Fourier methods, finance, motion, and computer vision.
Marketing Mechanic
A real whiteboard explanation ready to become the first published field note.
AI implementation
Current practice at Local Service Spotlight provides the real-world learning loop.
01 / The rule
Every branch should trace back to evidence.
The strongest personal brand is not a costume. It is a connected record of work: the source, the explanation, the result, and the next iteration.
For Leith, the immediate path is simple: begin with the Marketing Mechanic video, connect it to one clear article, then let each future AI build feed the same loop.
The first publishing cycle
One source. Four useful forms.
Whiteboard video
Keep the complete explanation as the primary artifact.
Definitive article
Turn the model into a structured reference with sources and diagrams.
Short field notes
Extract individual ideas without losing the connection to the full system.
