Let's skip the typical "how I started from nothing" origin story. 

Here’s what matters:

If you're a thought leader or keynote speaker and not leveraging modern lead generation strategies… you're leaving a lot of opportunities on the table.

Why? Because people book people.

If you've got:

-Value-add content
-A targeted list your ideal prospect
-Personalization that scales
-A follow-up system focused on building relationships

You can get booked on stages around the world, and sell your thought leadership to your ideal client.

And most importantly, amplify your impact.

How do I know this?

Because when I was building my lead generation agency, I discovered the power of combining data-driven strategies with deep industry insights.

I went from struggling to fill calendars to securing millions in revenue for my clients across various industries. 

I scaled my agency from a solo operation to over 300 clients and 80 employees worldwide.

Now, I'm applying these proven strategies to help professional speakers and thought leaders to grow their impact and secure high-profile engagements.

Interested in taking your thought leadership business to new heights?

Drop me a message, and let's explore how we can elevate your influence and bookings.

In case you're not interested in growth strategies and just want to know more about me, here are some random facts:

-I'm a Philly native who once thought an MBA was the only path to success (spoiler: it wasn't)

-My first entrepreneurial venture was a drink can cooler (it flopped, but led me to discover lead generation)

-I once turned a skeptical client's business around, hitting a $100k month in 2020 and making him $50k in a single month

-I'm a family man who took the leap into entrepreneurship with a wife and two kids depending on me (talk about motivation!)

-I've been consulting for Gotham Artists Speaker Bureau for the last 3.5 years, bringing my marketing expertise to the world of professional speakers.

The last thing I asked ChatGPT was how to cook canned black beans over firewood. Don't get me wrong - I know how! I was just wondering how AI would do it (and if my way is better).

It made me laugh a little at how normal this has become.

So here’s my question for you: What’s the most recent thing you asked ChatGPT? Share it if you want. I’m just curious what everyone’s using it for these days.

Then in my next newsletter edition (out soon), let's really talk about how normal this has become.

Hello again, and welcome back to The Manuscript. In earlier issues, we explored how understanding forms between minds. How systems learn to interpret 

Open article: AI Coming of Age? by Manu Rehani • 7 min read

I stood beneath a cloud that wasn’t supposed to exist. Suspended over a Montréal street, EN TEMPS ET LIEU’s Partly Cloudy with a Strong Chance of “Wow”! shimmered in response to real-time weather data. Light shifted, color drifted, and for a moment, the atmosphere itself seemed designed. It was sunny that day.

The installation translated meteorology into emotion, code into color. It was a reminder that every structure. whether artistic or algorithmic, begins as an act of belief… we build because we think we understand.

That moment stayed with me. It became the starting point for this reflection on what happens when we build faster than we learn. Tune in for the next edition of my newsletter for more (and if you haven’t subscribe yet, it’s a sunny day to do so now).

The passion flower is one of those blooms that makes you pause… it’s so layered and unexpected that you can’t help but look twice.

It reminded me a bit of how we’re trying to build AI for emotional support: there’s a lot happening beneath the surface, and most people only ever see the finished shape. Its filaments and strange structure evolved for a very specific kind of connection, which feels like a nudge that good care has to meet people where they actually are.

You can design something impressive, but if it doesn’t attune to the person in front of it, it stays decorative. Maybe that’s the quiet lesson of the passion flower: beauty matters, but sensitivity is what makes something truly supportive.

I have a lot more to say about this… you’ll have to wait for the next edition of my newsletter. If you haven’t subscribed yet, now’s a good time!
