Build What Matters.

Live Whole.

Lead Bold.

We help entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, and changemakers get unstuck, scale, and stay rooted in what matters most.

 We’ve grown businesses, led nonprofits, launched dreams from scratch — all while raising kids and staying (mostly) sane in the process.

The Messy Work, Firsthand

We’re Jamey and Melissa Ice

Entrepreneurs, storytellers, nonprofit founders, and builders of things that matter. We’ve spoken and entertained on national stages, launched multiple ventures, helped grow hundreds of businesses, coached leaders, and scaled teams across industries.

We’ve done the messy work — and know what it takes to create something that lasts.

What drives us is helping people see their vision all the way through — without losing their soul or their sense of what really matters.

A Voice or a Guide

Built for Builders

We help founders, nonprofit leaders, and dreamers who are ready to build something better — and live better while doing it.

Some are overwhelmed and need clarity. Some are growing fast but losing themselves in the process. Some are sitting on an idea they can’t shake. Others just want their business — or life — to feel like theirs again.

What You Can Expect:

  • Get unstuck and make aligned decisions

  • Build or rebuild a healthy, high-trust team

  • Clarify your message so it actually connects

  • Create rhythms and strategies that don’t burn you out

  • Launch new ideas or offerings with confidence

  • Step into the next chapter without losing who you are

  • Lead from a place of wisdom, peace, and gospel-rooted faith

We help real people build things that last

What Others Are Saying

Jamey and his team are incredible. We have enjoyed working with them from beginning to end. If efficiency, creativity, extreme attention to detail and a powerhouse team is what you want, there’s nobody better

Eric N.

As a small business owner, finding the right partner can be one of the most tedious, difficult, and frustrating parts of the job. You have a vision for your company, and you want a partner who can help you bring that vision to life efficiently and effectively while balancing the reality of your resources as a small business.

Blair J.

I recently had a coaching session with owner Jamey. He helped set the framework for where I am and where I am going with my "storytelling" and the steps to get there
