THE CREATIVE FORCE BEHIND UNLAP™
My name is TM Garret Schmid, founder of UNLAP™ and the face behind these concepts. Born and raised in Germany and residing in the Memphis metro-area since 2012, I have successfully owned numerous businesses. Built from zero to success, from creating a business plan and start-up to money making business. On the verge of the big 50 I have decided to share my knowledge and abilities and do what I love most: help others!
EMBRACING TECHNOLOGY
I started programming on the legendary Commodore 64 in BASIC in 1986 – and never stopped embracing technology to make life and business easier. I have been fascinated by the endless opportunities and seemingly utopic concepts that have become reality over the years.
DON’T SEE NEW TECHNOLOGY AND AI AS YOUR ENEMY – MAKE IT YOUR ALLY
We live in times where AI and technology are on the fast lane and can seem intimidating. It can be overwhelming and sometimes even scary. I understand the hesitation of many business owners to embrace new technologies for various reasons.
But instead of being intimidated by artificial intelligence, we can embrace it and make it our partner and assistant. While many think AI is just a nice search engine and a tool that creates graphics and poems for you, the truth is so much more. AI is anything you want it to be. And I can build it for you, rather than using cookie cutter AI agents by “big Tech” companies giving you the wrong answers or wasting your time. My AI agents and digital helpers are tailored to your real tasks and preferences – so you get the right support, every time, without having to adapt your process to fit the AI.
THE EXIT ARCHITECT METHODOLOGY
On the verge of the big 50 I have decided to share my knowledge and abilities and do what I love most: help others! I started creating the right methodology, which I call the EXIT Architect methodology.
Together, we’ll identify your challenge, shine a light on it, and architect the framework – with the right door – that leads you to your solution. We will literally “think outside the box” rather than staying trapped in conventional mindset that the industry has told you for decades is the “only way”.
UNLAP™ – NOT JUST A NAME
UNLAP™ describes exactly what I do – “unlapping” your problems by removing the walls of traditional thinking that keep you trapped in conventional boxes.
The UNLAP™ logo reflects this philosophy through its simple, interlocked design. Two triangles connected by a central circle represent how opposing forces, when properly unified, create complete solutions. The artistic, hand-drawn style mirrors our approach: elegant simplicity that cuts through complexity to find what actually works.
