Meet the Founder

My First Business Almost Broke Me. AI Saved It.

Six months into my first business—a publishing house I built from scratch—I was drowning. I was a creator and a storyteller, not a logistics expert or a CRM guru. Every minute felt like an hour.

That’s when I turned to my five years of experience in AI. I taught an AI to be my second brain, automating the overwhelming tasks that were holding me back. It saved my business.

I founded Bespoke Ethos for one reason: to bring that same relief to fellow entrepreneurs and creators. The power of AI shouldn’t be reserved for Fortune 500 companies. It belongs in the hands of small businesses, solo founders, and the teams who actually talk to customers every day.

I’m not just a consultant; I’m a guide who has walked this path and can show you the way through, one pragmatic workflow at a time.

– Upton Rand, Founder & CEO
