As CEO of Access Advertising LLC since its spin-off in 2001, I've led our evolution from a traditional media agency to a data-driven recruitment solutions provider. We initially established ourselves as experts in print classified advertising, becoming a trusted partner for trucking companies and expanding into multiple industries, including transportation, airports, and food service.In response to shifting market dynamics, we underwent a complete digital transformation, launching TheJobsDriver - our flagship recruitment advertising platform. At its core is a sophisticated Bayesian statistical model that continuously optimizes campaign performance. The transition represented a complete reimagining of our value delivery to clients. We developed a unique approach that guarantees minimum candidate leads while consistently exceeding target metrics.What sets us apart is our methodical testing and validation process. Before implementing any new technology or approach, we extensively test it with our own resources to prove it drives results for our clients. This commitment to verified performance has earned us long-term partnerships, including relationships that span back to our founding year.Our success stems from a simple philosophy: we measure everything, adjust based on data, and focus on delivering quantifiable results. While we've embraced cutting-edge tools, including AI and automation, we implement them only when they demonstrably improve outcomes for our clients.Throughout our journey, we've maintained our core focus: connecting employers with quality candidates through whatever channels prove most effective. This adaptability and results-first approach has enabled us to maintain strong client relationships even as the recruitment landscape has evolved dramatically.

As CEO of AccessAI, I was dedicated to leveraging artificial intelligence to craft innovative solutions for small—and medium-sized businesses. Our mission was clear: to transform AI into a driving force for operational efficiency and business transformation.At AccessAI, we delved deep into developing AI technologies tailored to our clients' unique challenges. Our expertise spanned machine learning, natural language processing, and predictive analytics. Our goal was to build intelligent systems capable of thinking, learning, and adapting, giving businesses a competitive edge.We embarked on extensive research and development to find new ways to integrate AI into daily business operations, making them more efficient and effective. From automating mundane tasks to offering strategic insights for informed decision-making, our technologies were designed to empower businesses to excel.Despite our best efforts and the significant interest in AI tools, AccessAI faced challenges. The sales cycle was unexpectedly long, and the swift pace of technological advancement meant our solutions became outdated almost as soon as they were launched. This journey, though it led to the closure of AccessAI, was a treasure trove of learning. I gained profound insights into Machine Learning, Regression Analysis, and the broader field of Artificial Intelligence, not to mention a deep understanding of the adage 'Sometimes the juice is not worth the squeeze.' Often, clients seek out products whose value does not justify the production cost. This experience was a masterclass in the importance of adaptability and the need to evaluate the balance between investment and return continuously.

It started with a man who asked: "Yo, what's with all the camouflage?" In 2012, Trae wanted to stock up on some emergency items for his family. A few clicks on his computer later, he was up to his eyeballs in gloom-and-doom prepper websites. What he found on most of them: camouflage, more camouflage, and an overwhelming sense of panic. An ad exec by trade, he used his keen sense of style to come up with the initial concept that would become Boltwell™.Over the next two years, our team of emergency prep gurus—think professors, EMTs, general preparedness enthusiasts and a few seriously Type A folks—spent tireless hours researching, testing and retesting products to make sure we were bringing the most functional, high quality (and coolest) products to our customers.While most emergency preparedness systems on the market are, well, extreme, Boltwell is a one-of-a-kind retail concept that gives everyday families tools to help keep loved ones safe during unexpected events. Approachable. Educational. Streamlined. We put a whole lot of planning into our offering so that you can check "keep my family prepared" off your to-do list (without thinking too much about the scary stuff).We want to make preparing for the unexpected not only empowering – but also fun. Live Well Equipped.

At age twenty, Trae joined political pundit and polemicist Richard Nadler to form Nadler Publishing. Trae’s contribution to the partnership consisted mostly of a rapidly growing business sense, which generated the revenue to support Nadler’s projects. • Nadler Publishing wrote, edited, printed and distributed a conservative weekly newspaper – a venture roughly comparable, in KCMO, to operating a school for capitalism behind the Iron Curtain. Operating this venture at or near break-even is one of the greatest achievements of Trae’s career.• Nadler Publishing also operated profitable printing-brokerage and newspaper-distribution businesses. It grew by absorbing competitors and realizing scale economies.• Trae hired, trained and supervised Nadler Publishing's workforce, a highly diverse group that numbered as many as 23 employees. They included all races, creed, colors and economic classes, from itinerants to advanced-degree holders. He revealed a talent for bringing out the best in each individual, locating their comparative advantage and side-stepping their limitations.
