Suck at something this weekend

Most people are scared of doing things they are not good at. That's why I always think about Eleanor Roosevelt's advice to do one thing every day that scares you


🎷🎅🏻 This weekend I will be practicing Christmas tunes so I don't suck at the family Christmas party this year

I'm still bad. But every day I get a little better.


There's so much pressure in this world to be perfect. I support people loving what they do even if they suck at it and never plan to make money off of it.

Dare to suck. Have a great weekend, everybody

Coaching sales and building processes that break patterns and drive revenue 🎬

Holy crap Gemini. I am officially impressed.

I uploaded a 30 minute audio file of me practicing saxophone


You all know I'm not easy to impress when it comes to AI, but I was shocked by the feedback

✅ It ranked the songs by how well I played
🎼 Identified specific moments where tuning was an issue
🎷 Even analyzed my tone and gave me notes on what to do with my jaw to get a more velvety sound


If you create audio or video content, try uploading a file straight to Gemini and asking it for feedback

PS I'm also taking requests for Christmas sax jams so drop em if you got em

Text: Google Gemini suddenly became a good saxophone teacher

My hot take? AI hasn't changed sales very much 🤷‍♂️

Sure there's been lots of layoffs and hype for automation, but how has it actually changed the buying and selling experience?


Buyers
❌ Still don't trust salespeople
❌ Still can't get a straight answer without taking a meeting

Sellers
❌ Still have to do research because AI is unreliable
❌ Still have to work their asses off to build and maintain relationships because buyers hate being on the receiving end of automation


Sales is frustrating. Always has been. Always will be.

IMO learning the boring fundamentals and working your ass off is and will always be a safer bet than learning AI

Very few attorneys or law firms have even made an effort to stand out.

CONTENDER helps attorneys produce LinkedIn content that resonates with the people you want to reach, so they can Know, Like, and Trust you.

I'm giving 1 person a spot in Darren McKee's Social Selling Cohort that starts next week. 

When I left the practice of law in October 2021, I had no idea how LinkedIn worked. 

I had 368 connections, almost all of whom I'd met in real life. 
I'd never posted beyond announcing new jobs and sharing firm press releases. 

Today, my LinkedIn ghostwriting agency employs 4 people full time and a few more part-time. 

CONTENDER's revenue has grown more than 300% since my first full-time year in 2023. I like our chances of hitting 7 figures in 2026.

We've amassed 75 million + impressions and the strongest roster of LinkedIn lawyers anywhere. 

How'd I get from there to here? 

Thousands of reps. Thousands of hours. A whole lot of motivation. 
And invaluable guidance from people like Darren McKee. 

For my money, Darren is the best LinkedIn social seller on the planet. 

We connected in 2021. He's one of the first people I emulated. 
When he started offering coaching in 2022, I was his first coaching client. 

Since he started offering these cohorts almost 2 years ago, I've done one myself. 
I've put 5 team members through them. 
I've brought Darren in for a private training with my team. 

I can say with 100% certainty that I couldn't have built what I've built here without Darren's example, guidance, and support. 

He plays this game the right way.
He has the right mindset.
He understands the tactics and practices that attract and direct attention. 

If you're looking to lean into LinkedIn in 2026, you want to spend time with Darren. 

Darren has helped hundreds of folks get better at LinkedIn. 
Seats in his cohorts cost $1,500. 
I'm offering a seat in his December cohort on me. 

The cohort consists of: 
• 3 Zoom calls (Mondays at noon EST starting next week) and 
• the most active, supportive LinkedIn DM thread you've ever seen. 

I'm ideally looking to gift this seat to somebody in the Legal world but am open. 

If you're interested, drop DARREN in a comment or a DM to me. Tell me 2 things: 
1. What you're hoping LinkedIn can help you do. 
2. Why you think this could help you get where you're trying to go. 

Since the first Zoom is Monday, I'll pick somebody by EOD today. 

And if you're on the fence about whether to ping me, I told Darren I was going to do this and will look like a total dweeb if nobody reaches out. 

If nothing else, you can help me not look like a dweeb in front of my friend. ;-b
