Most AI content online is written by tech enthusiasts for tech enthusiasts. Smarterhacks isn’t that.

I’m Mark Jackson,  a retired Naval Officer, GRC consultant, and founder of Focal Point Dynamic LLC. I’ve spent my career building systems, managing operations, and solving complex problems with limited resources. That’s not a hobby — it’s how I was trained, and it’s how I work.

Smarterhacks is where I document what actually works: the AI tools, automations, and workflows that help small business owners do more without burning out or burning cash. Every recommendation gets tested against a simple standard,  does this make the operator’s life measurably better?

If you’re running a business and you’re tired of doing everything manually, you’re in the right place.

Work Smarter. Run Leaner.
