AllPaws was one of the largest pet adoption platforms on the internet and offered a comprehensive solution on web and a fun & addicting mobile app experience on iPhone.

Founder & CEO

Paltalk, Inc.

CO-FOUNDER of SNAP INTERACTIVE (now PalTalk) - one of the first publicly traded company in the online dating & social media space.  SNAP's leading online dating apps and social apps experienced extraordinary growth - attracting more than 100 million users. Ranked as the 36th fastest growing company in North America on Deloitte's 2012 Technology Fast 500 for achieving 4,400% revenue growth over 5 years.

As Co-Founder and one of only two members of Senior Management from 2005 through late 2011, I was primarily responsible for all legal, financial, administrative, human resource, hiring, anti-fraud, and public company regulatory and operational functions as we scaled the company. I was also responsible for writing all company press releases since inception. 

We grew SNAP to nearly 50 employees and approximately $20 million in annual revenue. We hit a peak market cap of ~ $150 million and raised $8.5 million in capital from institutional investors in January 2011.  Prior to that, we succeeded while raising under $ 1 mm in total capital (with no new capital since 2007) - growing entirely on revenue generated from operations for 3+ years.

I have a bias for action and a passion for solving big problems. Proven ability to innovate and deliver rapid revenue and user growth. 

At the intersection of my passion for pets and online dating expertise, I co-founded AllPaws. This innovative, online dating-style pet adoption platform quickly gained millions of users and was acquired by the pet industry leader, PetSmart. 

Before that, as co-founder I helped build and lead publicly traded SNAP Interactive from inception to rank as the 36th fastest growing technology company in North America with 4,400% revenue growth over 5 years, $20 million+ in annual revenue, and over 100 million users of our online dating apps and social products.

We built Syndicate 11 quietly. 
Now PEOPLE are noticing. 

Syndicate11 wasn’t designed to be loud. 

It was built as a tight, high-signal network of top creators, models, and cultural catalysts who actually move attention - not just post into it.

And when you do that well enough, visibility finds you anyway.

This People feature is a great example: no PR push, zero agenda, just a powerful moment that got noticed.

That’s the power of momentum compounding.

Here are 5 key principles for entrepreneurial success: 👇 

- You increase wealth commensurate with how much value you deliver to the life of others. 

- Relatedly, you need a big WHY. “Become rich” will deliver the opposite. Work out how the world can be better from your presence and experience. 

- Setbacks are inevitable. But don’t take them to heart. Learn and keep evolving. Stay curious and keep asking questions. 

- Adapt with dynamism to changing contexts and circumstances. The “we have always done it this way” does not serve growth and innovation well. 

- Others will attempt to drag you down. But, remember, that means that they must already be beneath you!

Someone has to land the dream job … 

And it might as well be *YOU*! 

The person who landed the perfect new role instead of you did not have a magic wand. 

Maybe they simply: 

-Optimized their CV or Resume a bit more
-Made their LinkedIn Profile more presentable
-Created LinkedIn Content to showcase their Thought Leadership
-Networked with the Hiring Manager on LinkedIn before the interview 
-Spent more time with their Interview Preparation (extra research)

Career growth is your personal responsibility—and you can often make a lot of marginal gains (but which add up to impressive compound impacts). 

Don’t get disheartened, therefore, when you don’t land your dream job right away. 

Keep producing incremental change and improvement across time. Growth has NO limits! 🚀

How you respond when the chips are down … 

That is what makes a GREAT entrepreneur! 🏆

Anyone can feel elated when everything is falling into place—but a true champion also manages to stay upbeat and bounce back from heartache and pain. 

“Nobody thought we could win. Nobody but US!” 

These were the words from Brandon Siler on the Florida Gators championship win in 2006 (before being drafted into the NFL in 2007 where he played as a linebacker for 6 years). 

The parallels between American Football and Entrepreneurship: 👇

- It is not about how hard you get hit; it is about how quickly you get back up again and resolve to carry on. 

- Victory is often won or lost in the mind. The team with the most positive and forward-facing mindset comes out on top. 

- You have to put in the reps away from the field; or before you start to market your products and services. 

- The team rises and falls together. Individual flairs of brilliance are possible and desirable; but not at the expense of the team unit and their overall joint-success. 

- Opposition teams or businesses want to tear you down. You must rise to the challenge and competition; using it as fuel to keep getting better across time. 

➡️ What would YOU like to add as Number 6❓

P.S. If you have not already watched Brandon Siler and the UNTOLD story of the Swamp Kings on Netflix, I would highly recommend that! 🔥

Genuine LinkedIn Thought Leaders are rare …

But that provides a great opportunity for you to be one! 

We have helped thousands of entrepreneurs to grow & monetize on LinkedIn. 

And, if I had to pick 1 factor which always determines their personal brand awareness and revenue growth, it would = Becoming a LinkedIn Thought Leader! 

That DOES NOT mean: 
- Just sharing what *others* have said 
- Talking about the perceived failings of *others* all the time
- Rehashing viral TikTok videos from *others*

It DOES mean: 
- Adding value with innovative solutions to “pain points”
- Becoming the number 1 go-to authority in your market
- Creating mind association in the brain of target audience

In other words, don’t aim to make extra profit via LinkedIn—but rather have a daily mission to cement yourself as a LinkedIn Thought Leader. 

The extra profit will then come as a *by-product* of that strong Personal Brand Awareness. At that point, you don’t need to pitch anyone in the DMs, because your inbox will fill up with inbound enquiries. Trust me (it worked for me).

Outstanding LinkedIn Content is like throwing the best party in the world. Your guest waiting list will soon fill up without you needing to actually invite anyone directly!

“The hiring system is broken!” 

We hear this so often with job candidates who are not where they wish to be. 

But this is very disempowering to them. The route of personal responsibility is much healthier! 

If you don’t land the dream job targeted: 

-Either the hiring system is against you 
-Or you needed to submit a better application 

You should hope that it is the latter—because you can actually do something about that (unlike the former). 

Don’t get me wrong … Clearly, the hiring system can ALWAYS improve—but it is the same for everyone—and someone has to land the perfect new role. 

Believing that you have the power to change your own circumstances is very liberating—so don’t let others make you feel like a victim to them! 

In truth, we review thousands of CVs and Resumes from those who claim to have not been hired because the “hiring system is broken”. 

After 30 seconds of reading their application materials, we can see that it is simply an excuse—because their CV or Resume is not up to scratch. 

Don’t be a victim in your career. Be a *VICTOR* instead! 🏆

Don’t neglect LinkedIn Content Creation in your career growth …

Too often, uploading LinkedIn Posts is thought to be the preserve of entrepreneurs and business leaders. 

In reality, as a professional, sharing your insights and knowledge is also going to be very helpful for your career growth!  

Why? Because you can establish yourself as a LinkedIn Thought Leader—and therefore the “go-to” expert within a given field. 

This will cause a couple of impacts: 👇

-Decision-makers will start to reach out to you (because you are visible and adding value). 

-Hiring Managers who are assessing your submitted formal applications now have a location to access your knowledge BEFORE the interview with them. 

Taken together, you will now start to unlock the top 1% of professional opportunities …

Start creating LinkedIn Content TODAY!
