100 community

We are Linkedin's first official Alpha group & social syndicate.

We work together to learn, grow and build on the Linkedin platform to ultimately curate inspiration and motivation within our communities.

The community was initially created as a social experiment to see if 100 individuals could work together to help each other grow.

Over the past 5 months, every single community member has seen growth in their
relationships, sales, content engagement & impressions.

This is all because we have no leader, we work together, collectively, as a unit to help progress each other's growth.

If you're interested in joining the 100 community, send me a DM!

My reach could be yours too {2.5M+ imp/mo to 500K+ followers of AI, Tech, Sales, Entrepreneurship} e/acc; p(Doom) = [loading]. Podcaster/Investor/Author/Speaker/Amplifier/Impactor. LLMs, LWMs, LAMs. Opinions are my own.

I’m a nut. I lost a recording contract in 1997 when another caucasian rapper from the midwest started gaining popularity, and it knocked me off my perceived trajectory back then.

I did a stint as a software tester at Rand McNally when I was let go from the label, while simultaneously building websites and chat forums that I facilitated - mostly in the online hip-hop space. I then became a metrologist (science of weights and measures) at Searle Pharmaceutical Research, while still fronting bands that were booked for some fun gigs around the midwest, but never beyond.

But ultimately “not making it” as a “rockstar” really set me on an anomalous “career trajectory”. I ended up working in restaurants - initially as a dishwasher, then a busboy, then waiter, then bartender, then manager. I got certified as a sommelier, did the corporate wine director thing, helped open a top-tier steakhouse, and ultimately burnt out on being a “servant in the castle” (no judgement).

So I studied entrepreneurship, machine learning, brushed back up on coding, and was fortunate to have cofounded a B2B SaaS company using data to help restaurants schedule more predictably. We raised several rounds of funding, and I was ultimately able to exit that company (after a Forbes feature, recognition from BuiltIn, national media and more) to pursue what had helped me start and scale the company - LinkedIn.

As a LinkedIn Top Voice with over a half-million followers and a newsletter here with over 200k subscribers, I now coach executives, founders, speakers and authors to become influencers here and to turn that into a perpetual pipeline for inbound opportunities.

I’ve also gone on to help cofound and join tech companies at an early stage in the venture studio space (DCRBN), music tech space (We J, Starchild), proof of humanhood space (VRFD), seemingly conscious AI (LovingIs AI), phygital intelligence (Phyll), Space Exploration (Ascend), and I am a proud Entrepreneur In Residence at the Founder Institute where I was a co-managing director and Mentor in Excellence (3x).

I do occasionally angel invest as well as help startups raise capital, I’ve helped onboard Grammy winning multiplatinum artists to some of my ventures, I am a public speaker available via PepTalk agency, and a persona here on LinkedIn obsessed with UBI, AI on the blockchain, dogs, music, and community.

If you perceive alignment, feel free to reach out. I’m also currently quietly scaling a virtual influencer agency in the baby space. Happy to sync.

President

After serving on the Board of Directors at World Game Changers for some time and learning how powerful their work and team are, completely buying into the vision and initiatives, and deeply understanding how emergent technologies can help the organization further our commitments and humanitarian work, I have humbly accepted the appointment to President, and am eager to continue the incredible and much needed work this organization has been facilitating for years.
