Doing LinkedIn different...

Over 10 years ago, I got my sister & cousin onto Instagram. They now have 4M & 5M followers.

With an extensive background in IT: Computer Networking & Security, I am technically sound.

I applied this knowledge to Socials and strategized how to Grow accounts by learning algorithms & tactics.

Fast forward to today and my Family collectively has over 25 Million Followers across every platform.

My family also had our own reality TV show on NBC (E! Entertainment) called Relatively Nat & Liv.

→ I have 50K on Instagram & 21K on Twitter
→ I grew 10K in my first 3 months on LinkedIn 
→ I was featured in the Wall Street Journal cuz they liked how I Tweet
→ I have been dubbed as a "Meme Lord" for my work going a long way back

I am on here to bring some fun & disrupt the standard ways of LinkedIn. 

Why not have some fun on here?

WOOOOOOO!

I love new tech.

I hate watching trend hopping influencers touch it.

OpenClaw isn’t even 5 minutes old and we already have:

“10k/mo with 3 Mac Minis”
“Replace your employees with hardware”
“Quit your job this weekend”

Nobody is shipping anything real.

It’s all screenshots and clickbait hype.

If you actually build…

You don’t need to scream.

Most professionals don’t fail in SAP or Workday because they lack talent.
They fail because no one shows them the roadmap.

For many, the tech world feels overwhelming. New tools. New versions. New expectations.
And training often feels like noise instead of clarity.

My journey isn’t traditional either.
- I built ZaranTech in 2009 from a small office in Iowa as a single dad trying to create something meaningful.
- No investors. No shortcuts.
- Just a mission to make high-quality SAP & Workday education accessible to anyone willing to learn.

Today, that mission has turned into something bigger than I ever imagined:
- 30,000+ students trained.
- 300+ corporate clients served.
- Thousands of SAP & Workday careers transformed.
- One of the largest video training libraries in the world.

I've worked with organizations like TCS, EY, KPMG, LG, Micron, Sony, Target, Palo Alto, Splunk, Lennox, Birlasoft, Samsung and many more—helping them upskill teams, modernize capabilities, and stay ahead of the curve.

Whether you're:
• A professional looking to break into SAP or Workday
• A consultant wanting to specialize and grow
• A corporate leader responsible for building future-ready teams

I help bridge the gap with real-world learning, hands-on training, and clear career pathways that actually work.

If you're ready to grow, I can help you get there.

Let’s build the future of enterprise talent - together.

What We Teach.

We specialize in corporate IT training for:
✔ SAP – S/4HANA, AI IBP, CPI, MDG, FICO & more

TOP 10 Mistakes SAP Consultants Make

Most SAP consultants don’t fail technically.
They fail silently.

And the damage shows up months later.

Here are 10 mistakes by SAP COnsultants that quietly kill trust, delivery, and long-term SAP projects:

1. Skipping Stakeholder Context
→ Configuring without understanding real business pain.

2. Over Engineering SAP Solutions
→ Just because you can build custom code doesn’t mean you should.

3. Ignoring Cross Module Impact
→ One SD change can break MM, FI, or integrations overnight.

4. No Transport & Version Control Discipline
→ “It worked in DEV” is not a strategy.

5. Testing Only Happy Paths
→ Real users don’t follow perfect flows.

6. Delayed Communication
→ Waiting too long to flag risks creates bigger fires.

7. Not Updating Documentation
→ No one remembers why that config was changed three months ago.

8. Disregarding End User Training
→ A great system fails if users don’t know how to use it.

9. Saying Yes To Every Customization
→ You’re a consultant, not a Z-transaction factory.

10. Forgetting The Business Outcome
→ You’re not closing tickets. You’re enabling measurable value.

Here’s the truth most won’t say:

Technical skill gets you hired.
Business thinking makes you trusted.

The best SAP consultants I’ve worked with don’t just configure systems.
They understand process.
They protect integration.
They push back when needed.
They think long-term.

Because SAP isn’t about transactions.
It’s about transformation.

If you’re in SAP consulting, pause for a second:

P.S. Which of these mistakes have you seen or made & what have you learned?

SAP Release Reality
SAP releases look smooth. The upgrade chaos isn’t.

What looks like a simple feature update...
Often hides weeks of impact analysis, retesting & silent firefighting underneath.

But SAP release reality hits differently underwater.

On the surface, every SAP release feels shiny:
• New SAP features
• Fiori UI updates
• Performance boosts
• “Minor enhancements”
• New standard reports

It looks clean. Simple. Manageable.

But below the surface?

That’s where the real work begins.

Under every SAP release, there’s:
- Impact analysis on custom code
- Regression testing across modules
- Business process validation
- Integration retesting for APIs
- Security role adjustments
- Data consistency checks
- Performance benchmarking
- Change management communication
- Stabilization sign-off with key users

And the truth?

Most SAP projects underestimate the iceberg.

They plan for features.
But forget the foundations.

A release isn’t just about “WHAT'S NEW”
It’s about what might break.

That’s why strong SAP teams don’t celebrate release notes.
They prepare for release impact.

Because real SAP expertise isn’t knowing the update.
It’s knowing the ripple effect.

P.S. If you’ve ever survived a major SAP upgrade, you know:
1. The visible 10% gets the applause.
2. The invisible 90% saves the system.
