allow me to reintroduce myself

i'm michael capozzi, managing partner at y not you, a forbes-accredited advisory firm i co-built in 2018.

i grew up in the bronx in an italian-american household, where i saw firsthand the dedication and hustle my parents put into everything they did.

i like figuring out how things work and making them run better. at y not you, i focus on the operational side - making sure the backend doesn't fall apart while the front end grows. that means systems architecture, ai and automation strategy.

over the years i rebuilt our entire operation (crm, invoicing, meeting notes, event planning, client records) within notion. something that used to take my team 45-70 minutes to track down now takes 1-3 minutes. that's the caliber of work i bring to client engagements.

some fun facts about me:

• trained in classical piano for 8 years, i play 5+ instruments
• a reader. i aim to finish 12+ books a year
• gamer at heart while preserving and restoring retro consoles
• yes… my beard is red, but my hair is black (with some gray)!
