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)!
