Paying it Forward 👉 One Day at a Time

Salesperson 💸 --> Coach ✍️ --> Leader 🙋‍♂️
Sometimes a content creator 🎥 - always a goofball 【ツ】

I love building things, but not physical things.

I have a passion for building teams, networks, processes, procedures and revenue but most importantly people. 

This had led me to helping founders pivot from founder led sales to a sustainable and scalable sales engine.

Hit me up if you want to talk sales, fractional leadership, 👟or ☕️.
--------------------
I was once given an opportunity that has allowed me to build my wonderful career.
I want to make sure others have the same chance.

I've lost 40 lbs eating ice cream 5 days a week.

A sub 250 calorie pint of ice cream (and 20+ grams of protein)

Because the Ninja Creami is funking magic.

(No, not sponsored, but not opposed to it SharkNinja 👀)

This is my go to recipe for a macro friendly Oreo McFlurry rip off. 
Shout to FitnessProductFinder on Instagram for the base recipe. 

400ml of 0% Fairlife Milk (or any other ultra filtered high protein milk)
45g of Monkfruit sweetner
15g of Vanilla Extract
1g of salt
1g of xantham gum 

3 Oreo Thins - these are your mix ins, save them for later 
(some people scrape the cream out to save like 8 calories or something but that's way too much work)

Freeze it for 18-24 hours.  

When you're ready to eat it, leave it on the counter for 30 minutes. Then run the sides and bottom under hot water for 30 seconds. 

This makes it softer, more like a Blizzard or McFlurry, if you like something harder, don't leave it out that long.

Spin it on light ice cream. Scrape down the sides with a knife when it's done, throw your 3 Oreo thins in and run it on the mix in setting and you're golden.

242 calories. 22g of protein. 5g of fat. 30g of carbs.

If you dig this and want my Rocky Road or Reese's Peanut Butter Ice Cream recipe drop a comment for which one you want to see next!

Building Sales @ KnowledgeNow | Still Fixing GTM. Still Roasting Bad Takes.

Fiverr Pro isn’t cheap, but it’s expensive to get it wrong.

When we launched ARC Roasters, we were running on a non-existent budget.

So we tried saving money on branding and web.

What did we actually buy with the nickels and dimes we found in our couch cushions? 
Revisions.
Broken builds.
Lost momentum.

When your company’s brand is on the line, mistakes don’t just cost money.

They cost credibility.

And for a small business, credibility is your strongest currency. 

Here’s what I’ve learned:
The most expensive hire isn’t the expensive one.
It’s the wrong one.
That’s why Fiverr Pro makes sense for high-stakes business projects.

Vetted professionals.
Proven expertise.
Even managed support when the project demands it.

If the outcome matters, hire like it does.

Most AI tools are great at sounding smart.

They'll draft a beautiful email.

To the wrong person.
At the wrong company.
At the wrong time.

Because the AI doesn't actually know what's actually happening in your accounts. 

It's working off whatever you tell it, not unified buyer intelligence, not identity-resolved signals, not complete account context across your CRM, product, and engagement data

You have a choice, spend an hour researching your account, feed that information into AI, saving you no time OR check out Common Room's new Claude integration.

With Common Room connected to Claude, it’s no longer guessing from a prompt.

It’s reasoning over unified, continuously updated buyer intelligence.

Based on which accounts are heating up. Who just engaged. What signals matter.

Not vibes. Not guesses. Not a LinkedIn stalk that took 45 minutes.

For a solo seller like me with no RevOps team and no massive marketing budget behind me?

This is the closest thing I've found to having a full team in my corner.

Claude becomes the interface. 
Common Room powers the intelligence behind it.

69,613 people saw my Oreo cake recipe.

That's about 69,000 more than my professional posts.

Nice.

I've been quietly going through a pretty big health journey over the last year,  losing weight, running, training for Hyrox and making lots and lots of ice cream along the way.

I started posting about it on weekends on a whim.

But 3 posts. 100k impressions. 50+ new followers. Lots of DMs.

Apparently Oreo and running hit different than cold outreach tips. 

So I have a question for the people who just followed me:
What do you actually want to see?

More health/fitness content? Recipes, training updates, the whole journey?
Or was this just a fun detour and you just want me to go back to mocking Grant Cardone and Andy Elliott? 

Please drop a comment! I'm genuinely curious.
(seriously, asking you to drop a comment isn't actually me trying to hack my engagement...this time 🙃)

I finally got a treadmill this winter.

I was convinced I’d hate it.

Turns out, it wasn’t so bad.

While I don’t miss how soggy my feet currently are, I am happy that it’s 6 degrees and I can get back outside.

And it was also an excellent reminder that I do, in fact, hate the treadmill.

How to make a million dollars.

The easy way.

Ask Dad. 

But seriously, she goes on to explain how she plans on making a million dollars before she turns 20, but when the plan starts with:

"I work for my Dad's company" you start to lose a bit of credibility. 

It's just another reminder that generic advice on social media is almost always 🐴  💩 

Because unless you have a rich pops who can give you a job, this probably isn't relevant to you.

Or maybe I'm just jealous 🤷

I’ve seen some wacky 💩 in sponsored content contracts lately.

Not sure if it’s because the LinkedIn influencer space is still maturing…

Or because some companies are testing how much they can get away with.

I try to live by: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

But these two from the past week made me pause.

1️⃣ “We own the content you produce for us.”

Hard no.
If the content lives on my account, it’s mine.
You’re paying for distribution and audience access.
Want usage rights?
Great. Let’s price a license.
But ownership of something published on my platform? Not happening.

2️⃣ “We’ll pay you after all 3 posts go live.”

Why is the creator financing the campaign?

I’ve seen too many brands:
Delay payment
Renegotiate after performance
Or decide a post “didn’t go viral enough”
Meanwhile the creator has already delivered the asset and the reach.

Ideally: paid upfront.
At minimum: paid per post.
Anything else shifts all the risk to one side.

If you’re a creator navigating a contract, I’m happy to take a look.

And if you’re a brand… structure deals like a partnership, not a gamble.

Any experience creators see other wild clauses in creator contracts?

Is LinkedIn using AI too much to enforce their policy?

Or are they thinking about my mental health?

Because the a-🕳️ I was referring to in the comment that they took down?

Me. Full self deprecating. 

Apparently they decided I'm not allowed to harass myself! 

...not sure why they think they can kink shame me like that.

What's with all the pizza party hate?! 🍕 

Pizza is great.

Sure, as a reward from corporate it kind of blows, but why would we take the pizza away?

This should be an AND situation, not an OR situation.

Give me pizza AND a bonus.

#bringbackthepizzaparty

PS: Pizza from one of the best spots in Montreal and no, not just because I'm related to the owners 😅  Forno Pizza Frankie's

I used to brag about size.

Pipeline size that is, get your mind out of the gutter.

Felt like a large pipeline was a guarantee that I'd hit my number.

Until I realized, pipeline is made up.

All the "happy ears" in the world won't help you hit quota when you're avoiding what really needs to be done.

Qualification. 

That means asking the tough questions.
That means disqualifying prospects. 
That means your boss might ask you "what's wrong with your pipeline>!"

So we avoid it.
And we pad the list, instead of dealing with our poopy pipeline.
