Here's how this works ⬇️

⇨ Get scheduled on niche-specific podcasts every month.
⇨ Transform those conversations into targeted video content.
⇨ And attract new buyers on: LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻

Not just buyers either…
You’ll also attract:

🔸Fans
🔸Referrals
🔸Partnerships
🔸Recruits + Top Talent
🔸Public Speaking Gigs

(I’ll explain everything in our first meeting)

Second... why should you work with me?

I'm a content partner in your pocket. 

⇨ I leverage AI to help me with clerical work, ideation, note-taking, image generation, video editing, research, copywriting... and so on. Because of that, I don't need a bloated team, I am the team. That means fewer headaches for you nursing a bunch of freelancers and a consistent/fair price.
⇨ I'm not an order taker. I'm a partner in your pocket. I have a plan for everything. That not only saves you time by avoiding other people's sales funnels but additionally, gives you the answers faster so you can stay in front of your competition consistently for longer.
⇨ I'm incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and creative. I'm also a lot of fun to work with. 

More specifically... I'll help you build a content ecosystem, one that's systems-based, that's built around your busy schedule, and can be leveraged to grow your brand and your business for years to come.

Daniel Kading Ghostwriting & Social Media Management

Freelance Ghostwriter/SM Manager

Eventi Media Inc.

I was the Head of Strategy for Eventi Media. 

This start-up out of Canada with a team from all over the world mostly focused on short-form video content for entrepreneurs, professionals, and experts in their field. 

We took 4 hours of your time and turned it into a full month of content each month on TikTok, Instagram, and, YouTube Shorts. 

I was brought onto the team to not only take over creative but also help implement LinkedIn/X (Twitter) at the time... into the company's product offering. 

In this role, I mostly focused on: 

- Scriptwriting
- Copywriting
- Ghostwriting
- Client Success
- Creative
- Analysis

And overall helping each client create the best message possible

On as many platforms as possible.

Head of Strategy

Deep Social Brands Inc.

I worked as the lead of client success. 

More specifically here's what I did for the team at DSB: 

- Worked with clients on strategy
- Strategized/created the copy for the client's content
- Worked with the editing team to ensure that vision came to life
- Assisted the production team with scheduling, filming coordination, and client deliverables
- Additionally, worked as the intermediary between clients, founders, and outside vendors 
- Additionally I helped out with management of day-to-day operations for a book of 25 + clients

Client Success Manager

I worked as the Junior Content Strategist for Deep Social Brands.

Here’s what I did in this role:

- I helped write weekly TikTok content for a book of 15-20 clients
- I also assisted with creative and copywriting
- Strategy
- Client coaching
- Personal branding
- Content creation 

I transitioned out of this role and into the Client Success Manager role after only 3 months with the company.

Content Strategist 

Bird

Fleet Manager

Grubhub

Driver

Lyft

Uber

Hooked, Inc.

I utilized my interpersonal skills, sales know-how, and best marketing practices to help businesses find new customers, through in-app geo-targeted advertising.

I accomplished this by bringing together a community of food-related businesses to help people save money on everyday purchases and created organic engagement/acquisition of new customers for clients that encouraged new/repeat traffic consistently.

More specifically I oversaw:

- Outreach (growing in-app food/drink offerings)
- Growth (bringing on new users to engage w/ restaurants) 
- Guerrilla Marketing
- Field Marketing
- Content Creation/Management 
- Copywriting 
- Acted as intermediary between clients and Customer Success Manager

I grew the app by downloads from 10.5k to 19k in a year and launched the subscription model growing it to roughly 3k in size in only a few months through events and word-of-mouth.

Additionally, I grew the content offering on the platform from 56 restaurants/bars to 78, this required some serious self-starter chops because I had no one else helping me along the way. 

I did all of the prospecting on my own, built their content after the sale, and did events with them later on. 

I grew so much through this role, not only as a salesperson but as a content creator and marketer.

Sales/Marketing Manager

High-caliber social media manager for serious brands 📡 I write like Deadpool kills... I may be super but I'm no hero ⚔️

Here's my backstory...

My name's Dan. 

I go over and above for my community and I'm very driven to help others see success on this platform. 

That's why if you DM me with a random question… I'll more than likely help you. 

Send me a cringe sales DM and I’ll delete it.
Drop too many AI-generated comments on my content…

I’ll block you... ✋🏻

I grew up at the skatepark and helping others is how you learn, especially when doing something difficult like skateboarding. 🛹

Creating content is incredibly similar and that's why I operate like this. It just feels right. 

On top of that I come from a performance poetry (slamming)🎙️background so being vulnerable in the public square is quite literally a walk in the park for me. 

I'm also a public speaker. 

I've done talks at prestigious events like the Social Media Marketing World in San Diego in '23 where I spoke in front of a 2000 + person audience.

And the Linked Innovators Summit with household names like Richard Van Der Blom that same year.

I've also been on nearly 30 podcasts.

If you need a good guest for your next episode...

Or a speaker for your next event please feel free to DM me, I'm always down. 

Come for the insights… stay for the vibes.✌️

Last night, I attended a beautiful event that reminded me why I still show up to networking spaces — even in a digital-first world.

For me, networking isn’t just about exchanging business cards or talking strategy.

It’s about connection.

Sometimes it’s meeting someone new.
Sometimes it’s reconnecting with familiar faces.
And sometimes — like last night — it’s both.

I had the chance to listen to an inspiring panel featuring:
🎤 MC: Mike Gomez
💼 Speakers:
• Dr. Maria Romero Morales
• Stephanie Elizarraras
• Lucee Cesena, CSBC 

Their stories and insights were real, relatable, and full of wisdom — the kind that stays with you long after the event ends.

And then there were the unexpected moments — the ones no planner can script.

In one of the photos here, you’ll see me with Irma Vargas, MPA Varga and Jerry.

What makes it meaningful is the history:

🕯️ Jerry presented my uncle with a certificate for his 100th birthday back in 2019.

🕯️ And he did the same for Irma’s mom in 2017.

Those aren’t just coincidences — they’re reminders that community is smaller than we think… and relationships last longer than we realize.

I go to events like this with three simple intentions:

🤝 Connect with real people
🧠 Learn something new
💬 Strengthen relationships — not just build them

Last night checked all three.

Grateful for the conversations, the hugs, the laughter, and the wisdom shared.

Looking forward to the official group photo — but for now, here are a few snapshots from a meaningful evening.

🌻 Connections create opportunities — but relationships create impact.

Most professionals are invisible online — I help Gen X leaders & organizations build powerful LinkedIn visibility and communication.

This year, we skipped Black Friday shopping — and chose connection instead.

Yesterday I had a Friendsgiving dinner in Santa Monica with a friend, her daughter, and my mom. No rushing, no crowds, no deals, no pressure.

Just conversation.
 Warm food.
 Laughter.
 Stories.
 Presence.

And sitting there, I realized something:

We live in a world that’s always chasing the next thing — the newest sale, the next upgrade, the next milestone, the next achievement.

But sometimes the most valuable things in our life aren’t things at all.

They’re the moments we slow down enough to feel.

🟡 A shared meal.
 🟡 A familiar laugh.
 🟡 Time with people we care about.
 🟡 Memories that can’t be added to a cart.

As someone who’s ambitious and always building, I needed that reminder.
Success isn’t just about growth, productivity, or output.

Sometimes success looks like choosing relationships over rush.

 Presence over pressure.
 Joy over noise.

So today, I’m grateful — not for what I bought, but for what can’t be bought.

Who did you spend time with this weekend — or who do you wish you had?

Most entrepreneurs don’t struggle with growing their business.
They struggle with being seen.

When I first heard the phrase “Build your personal brand,” I honestly rolled my eyes.

I thought it meant logos... colors… fancy websites…
You know — the surface-level stuff.

But the real challenge wasn’t design.
It was figuring out:

What do I want to be known for?

How do I communicate my value?

Why would someone choose me over someone else?

And the truth?

I didn’t have the answers.

I felt overwhelmed.
Lost.
Unsure where to start.

So I avoided it… because avoidance felt easier than getting it wrong.

Fast forward to today, and here’s what I’ve learned:

👉 Your personal brand is not optional — it’s the competitive advantage.

It’s how you:

Attract the right clients

Build trust without chasing people

Create opportunities you didn’t even know existed

Become the person others recommend — even when you’re not in the room

My journey from confusion → clarity is now the work I’m obsessed with helping others do.

Because once your message is clear and your presence feels aligned?

Showing up online stops feeling scary — and starts feeling powerful.

So tell me — where are you on your branding journey?

🟣 Just starting
🔵 Making progress
🟢 Ready to scale it

Drop your color — no explanation needed.

Your headline can attract opportunities—or repel them.

Make it intentional.

Does your headline need a rewrite?

If you’re serious about making LinkedIn work for you in 2026, this is the guide you need to save now.

I’ve helped numerous founders this year and seen my content reach thousands of eyes. 
The secret isn’t magic — it’s about building a system that really works.

Here are the must-do steps, in order:

1. Define Your Positioning

- Who do you help? 
- What problem do you solve? 
- Why should anyone listen to you?

Vague answers = weak content. 
Your positioning is your foundation. Skip it, and everything else falls apart.

2. Optimize Your Profile

→ Headline: 40–45 characters, packed with keywords 
→ About section: Use PAS framework (Problem, Agitation, Solution) 
→ Featured: 2–3 top pieces, no clutter 
→ Banner: Clear CTA at top left

Your profile isn’t just a resume — it’s your personal billboard. Make it shout your message.

3. Plan Your Content Pillars

Pick 3–4 themes you’ll talk about consistently, like:

- Personal branding 
- LinkedIn growth 
- Mindset for creators 
- Client success stories

Repetition builds recognition, trust, and authority.

4. Stick to a Posting Rhythm

Consistency trumps intensity. Aim to post:

→ 3–5 times weekly 
→ Same days, same times

A predictable routine keeps your audience coming back.

5. Make Engagement Your Secret Weapon

Find active people in your niche and build a commenting habit:

15 minutes before posting: 
└ Comment on others’ posts

15 minutes after posting: 
└ Reply to comments you receive

Engagement isn’t just vanity metrics — it’s how you build relationships and amplify your visibility.

If you want LinkedIn to serve you in 2026, start building this system today.

I’ll be dropping a free resource next week to help you get there.

Stay tuned!

P.S. Are you planning to show up here in 2026?

If your LinkedIn posts aren’t getting traction, your headline might be the real problem.

Most professionals skip straight to posting...

but your headline is the first filter people use to decide whether they should care about your content.

A great headline should answer — in one quick glance:

✨ Who do you help?
✨ What problem do you solve?
✨ Why YOU?

When your headline is clear, your content lands faster, your profile gets more views, and your ideal clients know instantly that you’re the person they need to follow.

Before you hit “post,” check your headline.

It might be the easiest visibility upgrade you make this week.

Most leaders aren’t struggling with expertise — they’re struggling with visibility.

If your team isn’t showing up on LinkedIn, you’re losing opportunities that should already be yours.

Visibility isn’t about posting more — it’s about communicating with clarity, confidence, and consistency.

This is the shift organizations must make in 2026.

Are you ready for it?

It’s funny how the moments that once felt mortifying

later become the stories we share with a smile.

Being human is messy, imperfect, and sometimes awkward —

and honestly, that’s what makes connection feel real.

Have you ever had an embarrassing moment

that eventually turned into a funny memory?

Your voice matters.

Your story matters.

Your perspective matters.

The world doesn’t need more perfect content — it needs more real humans.

I just shared a new article about why personal branding builds trust faster than traditional marketing — and how you can start applying it today.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

If you’ve been posting online, creating content, or trying to grow a business — you’ve probably wondered: “Why isn’t my marketing converting?” You’re 

Why Personal Branding Outperforms Traditional Marketing

Have you ever felt like hiding because you're not "perfect" enough to show up? 

Here's the truth: confidence is the secret weapon that unlocks your true potential. 

Your personal brand isn’t about having a perfect image. It's about authenticity, consistency, and showing up as you are. 

The more you trust in yourself—regardless of weight, age, or appearance—the more your audience will trust you. 

Confidence isn’t about being flawless. It’s about owning your story, your strengths, and your real self. 

When you show up fully, people connect with that genuine energy. That’s what makes a personal brand unforgettable. 

So, if you’re waiting for the perfect moment or the perfect look—stop. 

Your best asset is already inside you: your confidence. 

It’s time to unlock it and let your true self shine.

Before today gets busy, I just want to pause and acknowledge something:

Gratitude isn’t just about celebrating what’s going right — sometimes it’s about recognizing how far we’ve come, even when the journey wasn’t perfect or easy.

This year brought growth, change, discomfort, and clarity.

And I’m grateful for all of it.

But more than anything, I’m grateful for people:

✨ The ones who showed up.
✨ The ones who challenged me.
✨ The ones who believed in me when I doubted myself.
✨ And the ones quietly cheering from a distance — you matter too.

If you’re reading this — THANK YOU.

For your time, your support, your messages, your presence.

Wishing you a day filled with connection, rest, and a moment where you remind yourself:

Today, I’m grateful for the journey — not just the milestones.

Happy Thanksgiving 🧡

— Gracie

I see this all the time:

Solopreneurs tweaking their offer…

changing their niche…

rewriting pricing…

and still feeling invisible.

But the real issue?

Their LinkedIn profile doesn’t clearly communicate value.

Your profile should speak for you —

even when you’re not online.

So tell me…

if a stranger read your profile today,

would they understand what you do in 10 seconds or less?

You turned your LinkedIn About section into a résumé paragraph…

…and then wondered why no one reaches out.

Your About section isn’t meant to recap your career history —

it’s meant to make someone think:

“This is someone I trust.”

After reviewing and rewriting countless profiles, I’ve noticed the same patterns over and over:

1️⃣ They lead with their credentials.
Impressive? Sure.
Connection-building? Not really.
Start with the human, not the hierarchy.

2️⃣ They repeat their job titles.
That’s great for HR systems — not for real people.
Titles tell me what you do, not why it matters.

3️⃣ They remove their personality.
LinkedIn isn’t a legal document.
If I can’t hear your voice, I can’t feel your message.

Here’s a simple way to rewrite it so it actually converts:

🔹 What problem did you see?
🔹 What made you decide to solve it?
🔹 How do you make life, business, or results better today?

That’s the story people connect with.

Because the truth is:

There are endless professionals with experience.
But there’s only one person with your perspective.
Stop hiding behind bullet points and buzzwords.
Tell us who you are, what you believe, and how you help.

That’s what builds trust —

and trust is what drives opportunity.

— Gracie 🌻

I help professionals turn messy LinkedIn profiles into clear, confident stories that attract the right opportunities.

Ever notice how some people get way more leads just by talking to others? 

Here's the thing: posting is great, but engagement? That's what really gets people noticing you as a go-to. 

It's like chatting at a party instead of just standing in the corner. The more you ask questions, comment, and show you care, the more folks remember you. 

So next time you're about to hit "post," think: 
Who can I start a real conversation with today? 

Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about posting — it’s about connecting. And those connections turn into leads. 

Have you seen engagement turn into actual business? Would love to hear your story.

Most leaders aren’t struggling with expertise —

they’re struggling with visibility.

For years, I watched brilliant Gen X professionals and leadership teams deliver exceptional work... yet remain almost invisible online.

Not because they lacked results.

Not because they lacked confidence.

But because no one ever taught them how to communicate their value publicly.

Here’s the truth:

Being good at what you do doesn’t guarantee people know you’re good at what you do.

And in 2026, visibility is no longer optional for leaders.

It’s part of the job.

What changed everything for my clients wasn’t “posting more.”

It was learning how to show up with clarity, confidence, and consistency — in a way that aligns with who they already are.

If you’re a Gen X leader or organization navigating this shift, you’re not behind.

You’re just one communication system away from being seen.

👉 What’s been the biggest challenge for you when it comes to showing up on LinkedIn?

Clutter steals time. Systems give it back. 

I started taking out my Christmas decorations this past weekend, and for the first time… zero stress.  Because everything was neatly labeled, stacked, and easy to grab, the whole process felt effortless.

It reminded me of what I learned from Bruce Carnohan:

Small systems create big clarity. I

In business and in life, the same applies. 

Clear systems free up your mind and your time for what really matters. 

What’s one small system you can put in place today to make your life easier?

Evolving entrepreneurs, creators, writers & high performing leaders needing flawless processes - eliminating/reducing wasted steps, time, money & frustrated customers forever #theguyintheblueshirt
