At 19, I left home and moved to another country with no money, no safety net, and no plan - just the belief that I was meant for more.

Since then, I’ve walked through fire more than once: divorces, parenting alone, financial struggles, personal losses, and making bold moves of leaving a successful corporate career, to rebuild my life totally from scratch…

Each chapter of this journey was not easy and sometimes terrifying, yet it became important stepping stones of who I am today.

It is what allows me to do what I do best - 
help leaders and organizations evolve through change with clarity, courage, and connection.

⭐️ Who I Am

I help organizations bridge human intelligence and artificial intelligence through agentic voice technologies, leadership enablement, and transformation strategy.

My mission: make AI adoption feel human, effortless, and profitable.

I’m CEO of APEK.ai, leading teams that build secure Agentic AI & Voice Solutions for Enterprise - helping organizations modernize operations and humanize their communication through intelligent automation.

With over 20 years in enterprise transformation, leadership strategy, and reinvention, I blend AI innovation with human insight to help people and businesses grow from the inside out.


⁉️Who I Help

	•	Enterprises ready to evolve beyond legacy systems and embrace secure, human-centric AI.
	•	Executives and founders navigating reinvention, burnout, or uncertainty about their next chapter.
	•	Leaders in transition who look successful on paper but quietly ask, “What’s next for me?”

When People Come to Me (and my team)

They come when success feels heavy, change feels impossible, or they’ve outgrown the version of themselves they used to be.
They come when transformation stops being a concept - and becomes personal.

💡 My Belief

True reinvention happens when technology and humanity evolve together.

That’s why my mission is to help people and organizations:
	•	Adopt AI intelligently.
	•	Reinvent fearlessly.
	•	Lead with voice, not noise.

One of the hardest lessons adulthood teaches you is this:

Not everything in your life deserves an audience.

👉 Privacy is power.
👉 Not secrecy.
👉 Not isolation.

Just the awareness that some things thrive when they’re protected, not publicized.

Here are a few things wise people keep quiet:

1️⃣ Your exact income or savings
👉 Not everyone needs access to your numbers

2️⃣ Your next big move
👉 Work in silence. Let results introduce you.

3️⃣ Your family issues
👉 Healing happens in safe spaces, not public conversations.

4️⃣ Your insecurities
👉 Share them with people who help you grow, not those who weaponize them.

5️⃣ Your money struggles
👉 Many will judge before they understand. Protect your peace while you rebuild.

6️⃣ Others’ secrets
👉 If someone trusted you, honor that trust - it says more about you than them.

The older I get, the more I see that maturity isn’t about being open with everything…
It’s about being intentional.

Your life elevates the moment you stop oversharing and start curating who gets access to you.

What’s one thing you’ve learned to keep private?

Feeling stuck? 
Read this:

We've all had those moments.

When we hesitate and doubt.

It's the fear creeping in:
→ Fear of being judged
→ Fear of missing out
→ Fear of failing

And what makes it harder is that the fears are completely valid.

We will be judged.
We will fail at times.
We will miss out on things.

And you're going to realize that it doesn't matter.
It's just part of the journey.

Every great person has felt those, 
"am I crazy to start over" feelings:

✅ Ray Croc bought McDonald's at 56
✅ Martha Stewart wrote her first book at 41
✅ Charles Flint co-founded IBM at 61

But they did it anyway. 
And you can too.

Here are three ways to start over,
with an unfair advantage:

1/ Start building an audience online.
↳ Share what you've learned.
↳ Create content that helps your ideal customers avoid your mistakes.

2/ Learn from those 2 steps ahead.
↳ Find mentors who've made the leap
↳ Study their frameworks and systems

3/ Build up a financial safety net.
↳ Test your new thing while employed
↳ Cut unnecessary expenses now

Remember: Your experience isn't a weakness, it's your edge.

One thing I wish I started earlier was my personal brand.

LinkedIn & B2B Marketing Whisperer | Helped 600+ Founders & Execs Build Influence

Henry Ford's first company failed by Will McTighe

My mum went back to university at 45.

She started over:
New career, new home, new life.

Instagram has us obsessed with invisible deadlines.

Life figured out by 25.
Career locked by 30.
Peak success by 35.

So when we hit 32 and hit a roadbump, we panic.
• “It’s too late”
• “What if I look stupid starting over”
• “I’ve already invested 10 years in this career”

But in reality, Instagram is showing you the exceptions.
The stand outs.
Plenty of amazing people started “late” and changed the world.

Vera Wang built her fashion empire at 40.
Before that, she was a figure skater and a magazine editor.

Ray Kroc scaled McDonald’s at 52.
Before that, he sold milkshake machines door-to-door.

Colonel Sanders created KFC at 62.
Before that, he was a gas station operator and a farmhand.

None of them had the "right" background. They just stayed curious.

Just like my mum.
She was curious about something, so she learned it.

That's what separated her from people who just talk about changing career.

You don't need to catch up.
You don't need to match anyone's timeline.

Start where you are. Start today.

No-one would ever have thought I’d go from investment banking to talking about how to write LinkedIn posts.

But here I am.
It is the highest leverage thing I’ve ever done, and it’s still so so early.

170M new jobs. 92M jobs gone by 2030.
Many current skills will be totally outdated: 

One skill will make the difference.

The #1 career regret people will have in 2030:
"I knew about AI early... but never learned to use it properly."

Here's why this matters now:

The World Economic Forum just dropped a bombshell:
↳ 170M new jobs by 2030
↳ 92M jobs eliminated
↳ 86% of businesses transformed by AI

But here's the real kicker:
The top skills aren't what you'd expect.

Yes, AI knowledge matters.
But it's not about coding.

The real winners in 2030 will master:
1/ Strategic thinking with AI
2/ Creative problem solving
3/ Systems thinking
4/ Leadership & influence

But what people miss about AI is that you can use it to help you with ALL of these skills:

1/ Strategic thinking: 
→ Ask AI to analyze your last 90 days of customer feedback. 
→ Look for patterns in complaints you missed.

2/ Problem solving: 
→ Before your next team meeting, have AI generate 5 different approaches to your current challenge. 
→ I use this to break out of my usual thinking patterns.

3/ Leadership: 
→ Practice tough conversations with AI first. 
→ I send difficult conversations to Claude to sense check my judgment.

3 steps to set yourself apart:

1/ Start Small, Start Now
↳ Write down your list of tasks for today
↳ Choose 1 of them you can do with AI's help

2/ Think Bigger Than Tools
↳ Focus on solving problems
↳ Build systems, not just skills

3/ Share Your Journey Publicly
↳ Document your wins and failures 
↳ Build your authority early - your brand is just going to get more important

Most will wait until 2029 to take this seriously.
By then, the early movers will be untouchable.

7 Bitter Pills to Swallow:
(10 years of painful career lessons in 60 seconds)

In 10 years, I've pivoted across 3 industries.
Only 14 months ago, I was coldcalling chemical distributors.

Each pivot forced me to confront hard truths.
They started with the person in the mirror -

The one making excuses.
The one avoiding conversations I needed to have with myself.

Here are 7 truths I had to confront along the way:

1/ Your identity is built on outdated stories.
↳ "I'm an angry guy" because you lost your temper as teenager.
↳ Childhood labels aren't our adult identity. Outgrow them.

2/ Nobody cares about your potential.
↳ The world only cares about what you actually do.
↳ “I could have” is worthless until we turn it into results.

3/ Rock bottom isn't the enemy. The comfortable middle is.
↳ Comfort is more dangerous than crisis - it kills our hunger and leaves us with regret.
↳ One day, you'll reminisce about your hard, tough moments.

4/ 'Someday' actually means 'never'.
↳ We all have a graveyard of dreams we'll "get to later”.
↳ Stop waiting for the perfect moment, it is not coming.

5/ Your excuses sound ridiculous to everyone but you.
↳ Behind every excuse is a fear we haven’t acknowledged.
↳ Every "I'm not ready" is really "I'm too scared".

6/ If no one knows you, you don't exist. Build your brand.
↳ Talent means nothing if you're invisible.
↳ Your voice is powerful - use it until they can't ignore you.

7/ Your habits got you here. Change them to change your life.
↳ Your habits are either building your future or repeating your past.
↳ Small choices compound into life sentences - or legacies. You decide.

Start confronting reality and turn it into your dreams.

7 bitter pills to swallow by Will McTighe

"You'll look stupid."
"No one cares what you think."
"What do you have to teach anyone?"

We've all heard this.

Maybe you heard those exact words.
Maybe you heard subtle digs.
Either way, you talk yourself out of it.

The fear takes over. 
Of looking foolish.
Of being rejected.

The wildest part of this?

Most critics haven't lived a single day of the life you're trying to build.
They're hiding behind their computers and their snide remarks.

When I started building my business, I heard it all.

Some genuinely thought I was losing it.
Some even hinted at doing an "intervention."
My dad even asked me "what do you have to teach anyone?"

And for a moment, I almost let them stop me.

Because I wasn't proven yet.
But guess what, you're not proven until you are.

You don't have a track record, until you do.
And no one, I mean no one, got there by letting doubt take over.

So next time you hesitate, remember:

Critics talk.
Talkers hesitate.
Doers do.

But only one of them builds the life they're proud of.
Make sure that is you.

60 mins a day to optimize your LinkedIn content strategy.

10x growth all year:

Most people log into LinkedIn and get sucked into the vortex.
It's so easy to let hours go by!

The best people I've coached do things a bit differently...

• They create a system that make showing up easier.
• They use checklists to write, edit and proofread content (especially at the start)

Stop missing opportunities and turning off leads.

Here’s the playbook I used,
To go from 3k followers to >388k followers in 17 months:

1/ Write Your Post (15 mins)
• Define a problem, create urgency, offer a solution.
• Keep it real and actionable. No fluff.

2/ Pre-Post Engagement (15 mins)
• Engage thoughtfully with peers, big accounts, and dream clients.
• Ask questions. Build relationships before you need them.

3/ Reply Window (10 mins)
• Respond to every comment in the first hour.
• Don’t just say “thanks”- keep the dialog going. Ask a follow up.

4/ Strategic Outreach (20 mins)
• Connect with 10 ideal clients a day. Keep it personal, under 50 words.
• Follow up with profile viewers (Premium) within 2 hours.
• This part is so important and often forgotten.

Most people think they need to be experts,

♻ Repost to help your network build their LinkedIn business.

After writing 1,000+ LinkedIn posts, here’s the best system for getting started:


Most people start with excitement, fresh ideas and endless motivation.

Then the excitement wears off... 
and they realize making good content is hard.

Once you start telling yourself, “I’ll just skip this week” - it’s over.

Inspiration is random.
Systems make it repeatable.

Here’s the system I recommend to everyone starting out:

Step 1: Ask AI for Your Audience’s Pain Points
• Go to Chatgpt(.)com or Saywhat(.)ai and ask it to identify your audience’s most painful frustrations.
• Use this prompt: “I am a [your job] selling [your service] to [your target audience]. List their top 30 specific pain points. Include frustrations, common mistakes, and emotional triggers.”

Step 2: Select the Pain Points You’ve Heard From Customers
• You’ll get a list of pain points, pick the ones that resonate - remember, you’re the expert!

Step 3: Turn each problem into a post
• Pick one pain point from your list.
• Then use this prompt to start writing:
“Write a post using the problem-agitate-solution framework.
Lead with a hook using my experience as authority.”

Step 4: Start with the problem 
• Use the PPAS (proof - problem - agitate - solution) structure. 
• Start with the misconception → agitate the problem → offer the solution

Step 5: Test hooks until one makes you feel something 
• Show your hook to a friend for feedback (I show my wife every hook)

Step 6: Pick a template from saywhat’s Inspiration database 
• Go to the Inspiration section → Find trending visual styles

Step 7: Drop it into saywhat’s infographics/carousel generator
• Connect it to your post to get a quote, infographic or carousel.

Step 8: Schedule and repeat
• Batch your content. Plan ahead.
• Listen → Create → Refine → Repeat.

That’s how you build momentum.

30 linkedin post ideas in 5 mins by Will McTighe

Everyone is starting to sound like ChatGPT.

The same robotic tone.
Five top tips posts.
The “You won’t believe this…” posts.

You can almost guess the next line before you read it.
No value.
No texture.
No humanity.
Just clean, perfectly polished, empty AI slop.

AI fatigue is real, people are bored of the sameness, they want to read something that stands out. They want to hear your voice, your mistakes, everything.

Here’s one way you can cut through the noise:

Conversation style posts.

They get way more attention than typical posts because they feel more human, like someone is eavesdropping into your conversation.

Here’s how to write one that actually feels real:

Step 1: Pick a real conversation
• Choose someone specific, ideally someone important (so people are interested in hearing the outcome).
• A founder, customer, mentor, then anchor it around a real insight.

Step 2: Jump straight into conflict
• Start with the line that captures the conflict.
• “Why” questions work well because they create tension.

Example:
$50M CEO: "Why should I spend money on your sales software? I'm already spending $500k on other tools."
Me: "Because you're probably wasting half of that."

Step 3: Keep it punchy
• Use questions your customers actually have.
• Write like you speak. Use short, simple sentences.

Step 4: Show the specific outcome, as well as the lesson
• End with an action you/they took
• Finish with a broader lesson

Example:
❌ "The lesson? Stay focused on what matters."
✅ "After this, they dropped 5 tools, kept 3. Close rate jumped from 12% to 31%."

Most writing feels generic because it is.
Make yours feel unique by writing like you're talking to a friend.

Organic reach is down 65% on LinkedIn.

And the feed gets more crowded every day.

More people posting, more ads and a new algorithm.

Despite the headwinds, some creators are still crushing it... because the fundamentals of good writing haven't changed.

Here’s how they’re making it work:

1/ Create an “Aha” Moment
An insight that makes the reader go, “I hadn’t thought of that.”

2/ Make People Feel Seen
Make the readers think, “that’s so true”, or “I can’t believe she said that out loud!”

3/ Lead with Personal Experience
Real experience and authority hooks earn trust right off the bat.

4/ Begin with a Negative
People care more about avoiding pain than improving.

5/ Make Your Reposters Look Good
People share content that makes them look smart, kind, or virtuous.

6/ Show Before–After Transformation
Show where you started AND where you are now.

7/ Use More White Space
Keep 2–3 lines per paragraph - and let your ideas breathe.

The algorithm keeps changing but principles like being clear, speaking with authority and talking to emotions always work.

Learn why your content works because when you do, you never run out of ideas.

7 laws of addictive content by Will McTighe

Everyone wants success.

Few want to pay the price.

I see it everywhere.

The creator who stops posting after 6 months of slow growth.
The entrepreneur who shuts down after 11 months.
The job seeker who gives up after 50 rejections.

They were so close.
But they never knew it.

Success has a price.
Everyone wants it. Few will pay it.

They want 100K followers.
Not 1,000 days of consistent posting.

They want the 6-figure business.
Not 5,000 hours of building it.

They want the dream job.
Not 500 applications and 20 interviews.

What does the price look like?
Showing up when:
→ Your content gets 3 likes (again)
→ Your inbox stays empty for weeks
→ Your friends question your choices
→ Motivation is nowhere to be found

The real problem comes from people relying on motivation instead of systems.

They create when inspired.
Not because it's 6am and that's their time.

They network when they need something.
Not because Tuesday is coffee chat day.

They practice their skills when they feel like it.
Not because consistent effort beats perfect timing.

None of this is glamorous. It's not easy. But it is necessary.

The price never goes down.
But the results compound over time.

Most people won't pay it.
Will you?

The Price Of What You Want By Will McTighe

10 hooks that always grab attention:
(And templates you can use in under 30 seconds)

Hooks are like headlines on the news.
If it’s not urgent, high value or emotional - no one stops to read them.

Yet people make the same mistakes:
❌ Try to sound inspirational over interesting, “Believe in yourself…”
❌ Vague promises that mean nothing, “This changed everything for me.”
❌ Follow a generic AI template like, “It’s not X, it’s Y.”

Then wonder why their content is ignored.

AI fatigue is at an all-time high.

Every third post sounds exactly the same.
The same hook, the same tone, the same problems and solutions.

In the sea of sameness, clever hooks don’t stand out.
Original, personal hooks do.
The ones that spark tension, curiosity, even a little anxiety.

Try using these 10 types of hooks (and their templates):

1/ Authority Hooks
• Hooks rooted in personal stories and expertise build trust.
• “We analysed 318,842 LinkedIn posts in Q3 2025. And LinkedIn has changed…”

2/ Conversation Hooks
• A real dialogue instantly pulls readers into a moment.
• “CEO: I’m firing our VP Sales. Me: How long have they been here?”

3/ Curiosity Hooks
• State a bold claim, then tease the evidence.
• “This chart is the clearest signal of where the internet is heading.”

4/ Contrarian Hooks
• Challenge an accepted belief to create instant tension.
• “Stop building your personal brand. Build this instead.”

5/ Pattern Break Hooks
• Interrupt the reader with an unexpected truth.
• “Your skills aren’t the problem. Your perspective is.”

6/ Personal Story Hooks
• Go emotional and relatable without oversharing.
• “Growing up, I never thought I’d get married. I was terrified I wouldn’t be a good partner.”

7/ Numbers Hooks
• Data and specifics build credibility fast.
• “You commit the 7 deadly sins of prompting - here’s how to fix them.”

8/ Disagreement Hooks
• Attack a widely accepted “truth” to create friction and interest.
• “Boring content is dead. You can follow every “rule” - and still be forgettable.”

9/ Nobody-Tells-You Hooks
• Reveal a hidden truth people feel but never say.
• “I interviewed 50 people who quit their jobs in 2024.
Nobody tells you the real reason why:”

10/ I Was Wrong Hooks
• Admit a mistake that leads to an unexpected lesson.
• “The day I stopped fearing smart people was the day that changed my life.”

Don’t try to sound clever.
Aim to make the reader feel something - tension, excitement, or even a bit of fear.

That’s what makes people stop the scroll.

How to create beautiful infographics in under 5 minutes:

No design skills required.

Infographics are incredibly powerful - 
They've helped me gain hundreds of thousands of followers but dear lord they are painful to make.

And I've heard the same pains over and over again from other creators:
• Spending 3 hours wrestling with Canva templates that still look "off"
• Ending up with something that looks nothing like what you imagined
• Paying a designer $200+ and wait days for revisions
• Watching your brand colors get butchered

The worst part is that you repeat this painful process EVERY time you need an infographic.

But as of yesterday, here's the better way:

1. Open Saywhat(.)ai → head to infographics

2. Save your brand colors
• Go to "Themes" → Create a "New Palette" 

3. Add templates you like
• Select "Upload Templates"
• Add your old infographics or pick from other top-performing content

4. Add a simple prompt:
• Select "New Infographic." → Give it a simple prompt like:
"Create an infographic on [Topic] using [Color Theme] in [Template]."

OR 

Give it a more detailed infographic outline from ChatGPT

5. Let Your Inner Designer Out
• Once the first draft is ready, edit using the "Edit" button and adding a new prompt. Change titles. Swap icons. Adjust layout

That's it.

No fiddling with tools and moving boxes around. 
What used to take 2 hours can now take under 5 minutes.

Yesterday we opened 100 early-access spots this week.
Today we have 68 left. 
After that, access closes until the next cohort.

Meetings have become the new 9-5.

Most of them end with…
❌ No decisions 
❌ No action 
❌ No ownership

The real problem often isn’t the meeting itself - it’s the prep and follow-up.

To make your life easier, create an AI agent to handle the boring parts:
Pull an agenda from Slack
Extract decisions
Draft follow-ups & owners automatically

Here’s how to do it in under 20 minutes:

Step 1: Go to zapier(.)com/app
• Explain that you want to build a workflow that creates meeting agenda from Slack messages and automatically drafts a follow up email by extracting data from Fireflies AI.

Step 2: Paste the workflow into Zapier
• Go to agents(.)zapier(.)com/bots and paste the workflow

Step 3: Set it to run it before and after each meeting
• Add a trigger → Select “Schedule by Zapier” → Pick hourly, daily, or weekly.

Step 4: Connect your tools
• Let it pull info from the tools you already use (e.g. Slack, Fireflies.ai).

Step 5: Choose the Slack channel For your agenda
• Link your Slack account and add the channel to get it started.

Step 6: Connect your meeting tool
• Add Fireflies(.)ai (or similar) to auto-draft follow-up emails after each meeting.

Step 7: Preview the workflow
• Make sure the steps run cleanly and generate agendas + summaries correctly.

Step 8: Turn on the agent
• Now every meeting gets an agenda and a follow-up email.

Meetings take over when you don’t take control.
Set this up once, and watch your day start feeling like yours again!

📌 Waste less time in meetings:
Try Zapier yourself - no coding needed.

How to stop wasting time in meetings by Will McTighe

The biggest risk isn't failure.
It's looking back in 10 years and realizing you never tried.

That idea you keep pushing off?
That change you're waiting to make?
That leap you know you need to take?

Your mind fills with excuses:
"What if it fails?"
"What if people judge?"
"What if I'm not ready?"

The funny thing?
Before you're successful, literally no one is paying attention.

Everyone is too consumed in their own lives.
You have all the time in the world to experiment before anyone pays attention

It's only once you've made it that people get curious.
Think about it:

→ YouTube started as a dating site
→ Twitter began as a podcast platform
→ Instagram was originally a check-in app called Burbn

But most people don’t know that because they see their success today.

The reality?
These weren't failures - they were necessary experiments.
Those things you're afraid of?

• The "amateur" early attempts
• The "embarrassing" first posts
• The "mistakes" that keep you stuck

They're all just experiments on your path.
No one gets what they want out of life,
Without going through the messy phase first.

So next time you're hesitating:
Start the business
Share the idea
Take the leap

Because the difference between you right now and where you want to be?
It isn't talent.
It's the willingness to look foolish in public.

Want to know the craziest part?
16 months ago, I was terrified to post online.
But it completely changed my life.

Here's your playbook: https://saywhat.ai/course/
