Meet our humans

These are our humans: the people who ask the annoying-but-necessary questions to turn fuzzy ideas, stalled projects, and workplace weirdness into something people can actually use.

Gary Davis

Look, there are a lot of “thought leaders” out there who want to help you “leverage your synergy” and “transform your paradigm.” But let’s be real, what the hell are they talking about. Gary isn't that guy. He's more like that friend who tells you the hard truth you need to hear, but with a funny meme to soften the blow. He's built Unwritten Future on a simple, yet authentic, premise: Before you can lead anyone else, you have to admit that you, a human, are deeply flawed and probably addicted to some form of caffeine and being right.

Through coaching, consulting, and a lot of candid conversations, Gary helps execs and teams stop trying to "win" and start actually doing good work. His whole vibe is rooted in the wild idea that people thrive when they trust each other and aren’t just sending passive-aggressive emails at 11 p.m. on a Sunday. Maybe it's just about being a decent human being who inspires others to be decent human beings, too.

So if you’re ready to get out of your own way, stop running on empty, and maybe, just maybe, create a work culture that isn't soul-crushing, call Gary.

And let’s face it, Tuesdays are like the February of the week if you don’t love your team.

Abe Carrillo

Abe Carrillo is not here to help your team “unlock next-level alignment” while everyone secretly wonders if that meeting could’ve been an email.

He’s here for the real stuff.

As a consultant at Unwritten Future, Abe brings a grounded, human-first approach to helping teams work better together. Not in a corporate-retreat-trust-fall kind of way, but in a “let’s be honest about what’s broken and fix it without making everyone feel terrible” kind of way.

Abe’s work sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, culture, and common sense. He helps leaders and teams notice the patterns, name the weirdness, and make better decisions with fewer unnecessary fires.

He’s the kind of person who pays attention to what’s actually happening underneath the org chart: where communication breaks down, where people stop saying the truth out loud, where projects get stuck, and where leaders accidentally become the bottleneck while insisting they’re “just trying to help.”

He’s also a proud girl dad, which means he has elite-level experience in negotiation, emotional intelligence, snack logistics, and being humbled daily by tiny humans with very strong opinions. Basically, leadership development, but louder and with more glitter.

He believes the best teams aren’t the ones with the fanciest values painted on the wall, they’re the ones brave enough to tell the truth, clean up their messes, and keep choosing each other when things get complicated.

Ready to transform your leadership? Give me a ring.
