Some opportunities are found. Others are created.
I work across companies, ideas and emerging opportunities at different stages — from ventures I’m building directly to companies I advise, invest in and help advance. Not every relationship below is ownership. Each profile states exactly how I’m involved.
Ventures I’ve founded or created directly.
Relationship: Founder / Strategic Advisor | Category: Strategic Advisory · Capital Markets · Public Companies
Strategic advisory for companies at important inflection points.
McMillan Strategies is my strategic advisory platform, focused on helping public companies, founders and special situations navigate periods of change, opportunity and complexity — corporate strategy, capital markets, financing strategy, M&A, turnarounds, business development, positioning, investor narrative, strategic partnerships and transaction strategy. It's particularly suited to companies with underlying potential that need clearer strategy, stronger positioning, better capital-markets execution, or a new path forward.
ChadMC establishes the worldview, audience and relationship. McMillan Strategies is the primary professional advisory vehicle.
Relationship: Founder | Category: AI · Software · Digital Products
Practical AI tools built around specific jobs to be done.
Kaypieye is an evolving ecosystem of AI-powered applications and micro-tools designed to make useful AI capabilities accessible through focused, purpose-built products — one AI worker, one task — with individual applications operating independently while belonging to a larger ecosystem. It sits at the intersection of AI, entrepreneurship, software, automation, digital products and emerging workflows.
Relationship: Founder | Category: Innovation · Venture Building · Intellectual Property
An innovation and venture-building studio for ideas with unrealized potential.
Wokaura Art & Innovations is a venture-building and intellectual-property platform focused on developing new concepts, technologies, businesses and creative ideas — an incubation environment for opportunities that begin as an insight, invention or early concept and need development before becoming a standalone venture. It reflects the experimental side of my work, where ideas can be explored, shaped and advanced before their final form is obvious.
Relationship: Creator / Artist | Category: Music · Creative
A musical project exploring atmosphere, emotion and inner experience.
Sonder Lumina is my music project and one of the clearest expressions of the creative side of my world — a 14-track deep house album moving through transformation and awakening. It sits naturally inside Unlocking Hidden Potential, because creativity is another way of discovering something that doesn't yet fully exist and bringing it into form.
Companies and opportunities I'm involved with in an advisory, strategic or capital-markets capacity.
Relationship: Strategic Advisor (via McMillan Strategies) | Category: Critical Minerals · Recycling · Resource Technology
Advancing new approaches to critical-mineral recovery and recycling.
Earthworks Industries is a publicly listed company pursuing critical-mineral recovery, recycling and resource-security opportunities, including urban mining, legacy mine-waste and tailings reprocessing, and modular, digitally managed metals-recovery infrastructure. I'm involved as Strategic Advisor, supporting integration, commercialization strategy, capital-markets best practices and broader corporate strategy as the company advances toward deployment and scale.
Relationship: Strategic Advisor | Category: Uranium · Exploration · Natural Resources
Exploration focused on uranium opportunities in the United States.
Gamma Resources (TSX.V: GAMA · OTC: MLLOF) is a resource company focused on critical minerals within the Americas, advancing uranium assets in Utah and New Mexico alongside a proprietary rare earth element extraction process. I serve as Strategic Advisor to the company.
Relationship: Strategic Involvement | Category: Copper · Exploration · Critical Minerals
Exploring opportunities in copper and the materials needed for an electrifying world.
Copper Quest is a mineral exploration venture focused on copper opportunities, fitting within my broader interest in critical materials, resource development and the structural demand created by electrification, infrastructure and the energy transition.
If you're building a company, developing an asset, advancing a technology or working on an opportunity that deserves a closer look, I'd like to hear about it.
