The Architects
Sean Callagy & Michael Smikun
Co-Founders of ACTi.
Co-Founder of ACTi. Creator of the Unblinded Formula.
Blind. Two-time Top 100 National Jury Verdict attorney. Builder of a 125-person trial firm. The architect of the framework powering every ACTi Being.
Co-Founder
Sean Callagy
Sean was born with a progressive eye condition that would eventually take his sight. The doctors told him what he could not do. He spent the next four decades proving them wrong.
He built Callagy Law over 27 years, recovered nearly a billion dollars for healthcare clients, and earned two Top 100 National Jury Verdicts — recognition reserved for less than one-tenth of one percent of attorneys in America.
What made him exceptional wasn't talent. It was a method. A formula for mastery broken down to its core components — self, influence, process. He codified it, named it The Unblinded Formula, and taught it from 19 Tony Robbins stages across 2,000+ keynotes.
Then he asked the question that changed everything: What if a machine could learn this? That question became ACTi.
Sean's Track Record
Co-Founder
Michael Smikun
Multiple Top 100 national jury verdicts — including a $33.4M New Jersey verdict (2014), a $27.6M Arizona verdict (2016), and a Top 50 Texas verdict (2022). An appellate record spanning the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 9th U.S. Circuits, the New Jersey Supreme Court, and admission before the U.S. Supreme Court.
As a decade-long partner at Callagy Law, he didn't just try cases — he built the systems behind them. Teams, frameworks, decision architecture — all grounded in the Unblinded Formula.
He came to the ecosystem as a student. He stayed to help build it. And quietly, he had already begun building agentic AI systems inside legal practice — before most of the legal world was even asking the question.
When Sean brought the idea of AI to Michael, the answer stopped him cold: “We're already doing that in legal.” Sean's response: “Why don't we bring it into everything?” That conversation is ACTi.
Co-Founder of ACTi. Trial Attorney. Architect of Legal Intelligence.
Michael built his career on a single equation: Process Mastery + Influence Mastery = Predictable Acceleration. Not as a philosophy — as a courtroom result, repeated across the highest-stakes environments the legal profession produces.

What Drives The Work
Mission. Vision. Purpose.
ACTi exists because Sean and Michael believe mastery should not be the privilege of the few. Here's what that means in practice.
Mission
Cause more money, time, and magic.
To cause more money, time, and magic for mission-driven businesses by embedding integrous AI into every conversation, decision, and outcome that matters.
Vision
Mastery, scaled.
A world where mastery becomes scalable through AI — and humans become more, not less. Where the things only the very best could do are accessible to anyone willing to actualize.
Purpose
Technology meets human potential.
To merge technology with human potential so the world rises in integrity and abundance. This is the Heroic Unique Identity that drives every line of code, every Being, every decision at ACTi.
The Heroic Unique Identity
“To merge technology with human potential so the world rises in integrity and abundance.”
