About
Built by an entrepreneur. For entrepreneurs.
Real-world experience turned into a clear plan for your business.
I'm Loren Dougherty, a business owner and security-industry veteran, and I host the Alpha Edge Podcast, where I sit down with operators and CEOs about how they actually built their companies.
I started How2 Consulting because I kept seeing the same thing: talented owners with great ideas, stuck. Not for lack of effort, but because they didn't have the right strategy, the right structure, or someone in their corner holding them to it.
I've launched and run companies across several industries, signed the front of the checks, fixed the broken systems, and made the hard calls. That's what I bring to your business: an operator's eye, straight answers, and a plan you'll actually execute, now with modern AI built into how you work.
