Marketer / 4 Under 40 / Midjourney Expert / Novel brand & creative direction for brands who want to leverage AI

I believe creativity is curiosity with something to prove.

I’ve spent the last decade scaling B2B SaaS brands, driving $130M in marketing-sourced revenue, and leading teams through multiple product launches, all while maintaining my sanity. Along the way, I picked up a peer-nominated American Marketing Association 4 Under 40 Award (2023).

As a first-mover with Gen AI, I broke out on my own midway through 2023 to provide novel creative and brand direction for teams that wanted to leverage AI in their visual storytelling. 

Since then, I’ve partnered with clients like Marriott, Brooklyn Nets, Rebel Kitchen, Klar, Buddy, and Indiewalls, while offering AI creative guidance and education to brands like Meta, TikTok, Ogilvy, McCann, Google, and VaynerMedia.

The journey has been incredibly rewarding. It also reminded me of something essential: the magic of working toward a shared vision with a great team. That’s what brought me to Goldcast.

Goldcast is empathetically changing how marketers connect with decision-makers by creating AI-first tools and workflows that solve actual challenges.

I co-host Midjourney Fast Hours, a podcast for creatives using Gen AI who are navigating this new frontier of visual storytelling.

The secret sauce in AI image prompting?

I’ll tell you.

While most people prompt AI like they’re using a vending machine, the best creators are composing and directing.

They're thinking like this: 
Layering = mood and dimension
Focus = emotional control
Texture = tangibility
Film = nostalgia and imperfection
(a)Symmetry = tension and balance

Lazy prompting kills creativity.

Let’s unpack 5 creative levers that inject emotion, tension, and depth into any AI visual.

👉 I broke down each one visually in this post. Steal it for yourself.

I help experts earn Authority in their field and attract Growth Opportunities. | Write a book (w/o prior writing experience). | Productize your knowledge. | Crack a PM exam. | Follow me for how-tos.

In 2012, I completed 15 years in the corporate world.

Life was fast-paced, intense—18-hour workdays, back-to-back meetings, and constantly juggling projects.

Then, one week later, everything changed.

The pressure finally broke me. I ended up spending two weeks in the hospital.

With all the time in the world, I was left alone with my thoughts. Lying on the hospital bed, that’s when it hit me — what was I really doing with my life?

One sleepless night, tears streamed down my face as I confronted the truth I had been ignoring: I wasn’t living life on my terms. I wasn't being there for my family.

It was my wake-up call.

Within a year, I quit my job to go solo.

Project Management was my strength. So, I started helping others pass the PMP exam, using brain-friendly strategies I had mastered for myself.

For the next 8 months, I turned my notes into blog posts. I worked tirelessly, sold my house to stay afloat, and tried to build something out of nothing.

Yet, nothing seemed to work.

And then, I found Amazon.

I converted some of my blog posts into a book and self-published on Amazon. 

To my surprise, it became a #1 bestseller across 3 categories.

I went from chasing clients to clients chasing me — ready to pay hundreds of dollars for my coaching.

And that’s when I learned an important lesson: 

>> Building your authority is the fastest way to grow.

In 2017, I took it a step further. I started posting daily on social media — content aimed at helping project managers.

By 2019, I launched my first online course.

So far, I've:

- Written 623+ articles with over 1.3 million reads
- Published 21 books (17 on Amazon, with multiple bestsellers)
- Written over 3879+ social media posts
- Coached and taught over 6,200 students
- Created 8 online courses

Every single day, I learn new ways to reach and help more people.

I built my businesses from scratch by building authority online. And if you're an expert in your field, you can do the same.

Here’s how:

- Build your online presence
- Write content on LinkedIn & your blog
- Convert your expertise into a book (instant authority)

It’s simple once you know the steps. I’ve made tons of mistakes, learned from the best, and built systems that can help anyone grow fast.

If you’re ready to scale your authority and attract endless opportunities, I’m here to guide you.

You don’t get paid for what you know.

You get paid for what you 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸.

Most experts think income is tied to experience.

Years spent learning.
Projects delivered.
Results achieved quietly behind the scenes.

But the market doesn’t pay for what it can’t see.

Your expertise might be gold.
But hidden gold doesn’t buy freedom.

You could be the best in your field and still get passed over by someone half as skilled but twice as visible.

That’s not unfair.
That’s reality.

People don’t pay for mastery.
They pay for 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘧.

When your knowledge becomes visible, through posts, case studies, a book, or a story that travels, your value compounds.

Visibility is how trust scales.
And trust is the bridge between expertise and income.

So stop waiting to be discovered.
Start showing what your work proves.

Because authority isn’t granted.
It’s earned 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤.

If this hit home, share one small way you’ve started showcasing your work lately.

Authority Branding for CXOs & Experts | LinkedIn Top Voice | I help you go from expert-in-the-room to authority-in-the-industry — unlocking limitless growth.

You don't get paid for what you know. You get paid for what you *show*. Be comfortable showcasing your value. 

Facts don’t build authority.

Beliefs do.

You worked for years.
But your LinkedIn profile shows only facts.

Jobs.
Titles.
Deliverables.

All good.
But none of them explain your value.
People follow a point of view, not a project list.

They want to know:
What do you stand for? 
What can you do for them?

This weekend, fix your LinkedIn About Me section.

Use the A.B.O.U.T. method to write a strong, authority-driven profile within LinkedIn’s 2,600-char limit.

𝗔 — 𝗔𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳
Your core conviction about your field.

𝗕 — 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳
A short lived experience that shaped your belief.

𝗢 — 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄
How you see the work differently from most.

𝗨 — 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲
The exact benefit you create for people.

𝗧 — 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲
How someone’s world changes after working with you.

Write each part.
Expand them.
Blend them.
You’ll have a powerful About Me section that builds trust, not confusion.

I've given an example of a Director of Delivery, below.
Save it. Share it. 

𝗣𝗦: Use the words "𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝗲" in your comment below, and I'll DM you a pdf containing this method and the example.

This comment hit me harder than most.

Because it was truth from the field.
And it sums up why most experts stay invisible.

A finance leader commented on my post:

“You save crores through efficiency, but the applause goes to the dealmaker.
You automate processes that free up entire teams, but it looks like ‘just reports.’
You deliver excellence again and again, until it becomes the bare minimum.”

That’s not a complaint.
That’s reality for thousands of experts.

They create impact quietly.
But being good at work isn’t enough. 
People don’t value what they don’t notice.

Interestingly,
As you start sharing, people think you’ve changed.
But really, you’ve just stopped staying quiet.

If you’ve been the “silent expert,” 
it’s time to step out of the quiet zone.
Not to boast. 
To be seen.
But to be understood.

Showing your work is not bragging, it is balance. Your future-self will thank you.

The best signals barely make a sound.

Yet somehow, everyone hears them.

Chaos isn’t the test.

Composure is.

We were in an M&A meeting.
Tension thick enough to cut through.
Numbers clashed.
Egos clashed harder.

Midway, the other side demanded retention bonuses for their top team.. a sudden addition that stretched our budget thin.

You could feel the air shift.
Our finance head frowned.

I looked at my CEO.
He didn’t flinch.
He just said,
“Let’s hear 𝘸𝘩𝘺 they need it.”

Then he listened.
𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 listened.

Turned out their leaders were anxious about job security.
They weren’t pushing greed.
They were asking for assurance.

So he reframed the offer.
No extra payout.
Just a six-month performance-based retention plan.

Deal saved.
Team trust built.

Because in rooms where chaos reigns,
calm becomes strategy.

That’s what authority really is.
Not volume.
Not titles.
But the ability to create order when everything feels unstable.

Composure isn’t about keeping quiet.
It’s about keeping clarity.

And that day, I learned:
Deals don’t collapse from conflict.
They collapse from tone.

Because chaos doesn’t define leaders.
Composure, and the authority it commands, does.

How you make people feel decides their trust in you. Their trust in you earns you authority naturally.

Small signals move big doors.

But most experts never send them.

Most experts stay hidden without meaning to.

Not because they lack skill.
But because the world has 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘺 of their work.

This week’s edition of 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲 breaks down the simple shift that turns 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 

The kind that brings warm leads, easier sales, 
and rooms where people already know your name.

If you’ve been not getting recognition… 
this will feel uncomfortably accurate, in all right ways.

Turning Expertise Into Effortless Recognition

Your legacy starts in minutes.

Not years.

Leaders don’t set out to “build a legacy.”

They simply live one moment at a time.
One choice at a time.
One interaction at a time.

And here’s something I’ve learned while working with CXOs write their books:

When you sit with a leader for months…
When you hear their stories…
When you see what shaped them…
You start noticing the quiet '𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱' patterns.

Those patterns aren’t dramatic.
They’re not headline moments.
They’re tiny signals of who they really are.

And those tiny signals compound.
Into trust. Into reputation. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆.

Here’s the simple system I see in that pattern.

𝟭 / 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻 (30 seconds)
Share the story behind the work your team did.
Not to praise. To preserve the meaning.

People don’t remember the task.
They remember why it mattered.

𝟮 / 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 (20 seconds)
Turn the week’s experience into a clear takeaway.
Simple. Human. Practical.

This builds a shared language that keeps teams aligned.

𝟯 / 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 (10 seconds)
Invite a reply. A thought. A concern.

Leaders aren’t remembered for having the answers.
They’re remembered for making room for better ones.

This system doesn’t create legacy.
It reveals it.
By capturing the things you’re already doing with a little more clarity and a little more care.

That’s where legacy begins.
In minutes.
Not years.
