Founder | Creator | Strategist | Building AI, Leaders, & Ideas That Move Markets

For sponsorships + booking + speaking: hello@cred.marketing
------
I build AI, leaders, products, and ideas that move markets.

As a founder, creator, and strategist, I’ve taken products from concept to market, scaled sales engines, built teams, and created campaigns that drive both revenue and cultural relevance. Deeply integrating AI in every step of the way. 

My experience spans SaaS, AI, B2B, and beyond, working alongside the companies and executives shaping tomorrow’s most important industries. (Would love to work with yours!)

I operate where innovation meets execution. 
Blending the reach of a creator, the precision of a strategist, and the perspective of an AI founder who has built and scaled from the ground up. 

The result: content, campaigns, AI, and go-to-market strategies that cut through the noise and position brands at the forefront of their markets.

Founder

1 month of content in 1 hour

Attended a dinner with top SF founders and VCs.
What top teams are actually betting on for AI in 2026:
(reframed my entire AI roadmap.)

I asked everyone one question:
“One word to describe AI in 2026.”

The answers were telling:
Unpredictable. Essential. Explosive. Pervasive. Vertical agents!

When you zoom out, a few patterns become very clear.

Here’s what actually matters for 2026:

1. AI becomes invisible, but unavoidable
Winning tools aren’t all about the AI AI AI.
AI will just be baked into workflows, decisions, and daily work.

2. Most teams are still using AI wrong
Oh so many teams had shallow AI applications.
And leaned in hard for the branding and buzz words.
Real gains come from deeply integrated systems that compound.

3. Vertical > generic
Vertical agents only win when paired with real domain expertise.
Otherwise, it’s just thin wrappers.
2026 is for AI depth and real applications.

4. Enhancement beats replacement
The strongest founders weren’t chasing “AI replaces X.”
They’re building for human amplification:
better judgment, faster execution, fewer bottlenecks.

5. Humanness becomes a differentiator
As AI gets more powerful, taste, trust, narrative, and leadership are everything!!

If you’re planning for 2026, these are the words I’d build a roadmap around.

Huge thank you to Emma Greenwald, Mahir Kumar Singh, Ricky Marton and the whole HubSpot For Startups team for such an incredibly curated, high-signal room!

everyone is asking how to win on LinkedIn in 2026.
don’t copy the wrong playbook.
copy mine here:

we’re entering the era of AI-generated sameness.
and that’s exactly why founders who sound the most human will stand out.

(thanks Audrey Chia for the great question here!!)

if your content could have been written by a model, it won’t win.
your unfair advantage is your unique, human, point of view.

background. 
lived experience. 
actual opinions from building.

so treat your LinkedIn like a media company.
don’t copy trends, but deliberately do the opposite.

you don’t even need a traditional tech background to do this.
teachers, nurses, operators, founders from any industry all have a lane.

all you have to do is find yours.

be deeply personal. 
unmistakably you.
and build media around that.

that’s how you stand out when everyone else sounds the same.

most founders say they’re “data-driven”.

so why are they still avoiding the hardest decisions?

i teamed up with Alyona Mysko to share with you our top tips for making data work for you, not the other way around. 

ultimately, the problem isn’t lack of data.
it’s lack of decision systems.

data only works when:
1. you know what decision you’re trying to make
2. you’ve set limits before emotions get involved

otherwise it’s just expensive noise.

swipe to see the full breakdown!

Top 2 Tips For Turning Data Into Decisions As a Founder

Come with me for a day in the life!
Building at the center of the B2B creator economy.
(And a sneak peek of what’s next.)

1. Morning at the SF LinkedIn offices.
Unpacking what’s actually coming in 2026!

2. Back-to-back convos with teams building next gen B2B tools.
So fun to hear top insights driving 2026 roadmaps.

3. Burmese lunch between meetings 
(highly underrated, btw)

4. Filming new content, stay tuned!

5. Waymo rides across the city.
Filmed before this week’s Waymo shutdown, lol

6. Closed the day at an invite-only HubSpot for Startups dinner.
Packed with awesome SF founders and operators.

7. And of course, getting to hang w/ the one and only @Katie Wrathall

A few signals I keep hearing from leaders across LinkedIn, HubSpot, and top B2B builders:

- B2B creator economy is shifting from “influencer” to infrastructure
 Content isn’t the output anymore.
Distribution, trust, and repeatable systems are.

- Founder-led media is becoming a core GTM channel.
 Especially on LinkedIn, where credibility compounds.

- 2026 is about depth over volume
Winners go all in on what’s working.

- Lines between product, marketing, and media are collapsing
 The best teams (and creators) are building all 3 together.

Days like this remind me why I’m bullish on where B2B creators are heading next.
And why I’m investing more into behind-the-scenes access, IRL convo, and building in public.

More to come soon in 2026!!
Happy Holidays to you all!

the upgrade you need to your 2026 cold email plans:

(how to basically print meetings!!)

most cold email campaigns fail because emails never land in the inbox.

so i really had to rethink my process here for sending emails.

i switched to Maildoso and my reply rates jumped almost immediately.

here’s why it works:
1. mailboxes are built for deliverability, not just sending. 
2. 98%+ of emails land in the primary inbox (even to outlook)
3. self-healing mailboxes rotate + replace burned addresses automatically, so campaigns never stop.

they also just rolled out Google Workspace accounts. 
so you can get high-deliverability SMTP mailboxes + fully legit workspace inboxes directly inside Maildoso!
(+ they’re priced lower than anything else out there)

plus setup is effortless (no dread!!) 
hundreds of mailboxes ready in mins, domains included, no manual config needed.

and somehow the cost is 50% cheaper than gmail/outlook mailboxes??

if your outbound campaigns feel stuck, this is the playbook you need to hack reply rates at scale.

STOP and do this one thing right now:

(before you adopt any more AI tools)

everyone wants to jump straight to AI.
they buy the latest tools and start running experiments.

but the truth is, AI can only be as good as the data it sees.
without a 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵, you get conflicting outputs, misaligned decisions, and wasted time.

a single source of truth is:

 • one place where all data is accurate and up-to-date
 • standardized definitions across teams
 • clear ownership of information

why it matters:

 • AI trained on messy or duplicated data produces unreliable answers
 • teams spend more time cleaning output than using it
 • decisions made from inconsistent data hurt credibility and speed

think of it as the less exciting, but critical, bottleneck to plan for.
(before you start automating or scaling with AI)

the companies who do this first, build reliable workflows and get lasting leverage from AI.

why “AI will replace jobs” is the wrong frame

(+ the reframe that will completely transform your workflows)

everyone keeps asking which jobs AI will replace.
but that’s the wrong question.
AI doesn’t replace 𝘫𝘰𝘣𝘴, it replaces 𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘴.

every role is a bundle of tasks.
(some routine, some creative, some relational) and AI picks off the routine ones first.

example:
a marketer might spend time writing briefs, analyzing campaigns, pitching ideas.
AI can handle the briefs and analysis.
but the pitching? still so human!!

the better question is:
which tasks in my job are predictable enough for AI to do consistently well?
because that’s where the shift starts.

the future isn’t “AI vs humans”
it’s “humans who redesign their job around AI” vs those who don’t.

Some battles look important
but they’re just distractions in disguise.

Not every comment needs a response.
Not every attack deserves your energy.

Most people lose momentum
not because they were defeated —
but because they got pulled into the noise.

Real growth happens quietly.
You stay consistent.
You improve.
You move forward while others talk.

Silence. Discipline. Elevation.
That’s how you win.

9 IMAGES THAT WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT LIFE

What if your team and your AI agents could finally work together inside one shared workspace — planning, writing, testing, reviewing, and launching everything from the same place?

That’s exactly what https://lnkd.in/eiASnV2K unlocks. Check it out for yourself 

We’re entering a new era where AI is no longer “just a tool.”
It’s becoming a true collaborator.

But here’s the problem with most AI tools today:

❌ They work in isolation
❌ Outputs lack context
❌ Teams still need humans to stitch everything together

Complete flips the model.

🔹 Humans + multiple AI agents in one shared workspace

Not a single agent.
Not a disconnected chat window.

A full ecosystem of specialized AI agents working together — sharing context, collaborating in real time, and aligning around the same project or goal.

🔹 For Marketers

Complete brings dedicated agents that work from one shared database:
Marketing Strategy Planner – builds plans & strategy

Copywriter – drafts emails, ads, landing pages

SEO Optimizer – finds opportunities & keywords

Brand Voice Agent – ensures tone & consistency
Brand alignment isn’t guessed anymore — it’s validated.

🔹 For Product Managers

Every part of the product workflow becomes connected and visible:

Product Owner – defines strategy, roadmap and user stories 

Planner – creates plans aligned with goals and requirements.

Project Manager – builds timelines & defines milestones

QA Tester – generates test cases & automated testing outputs

One workflow. Zero fragmentation.

🔹 Complete workflows → not isolated tasks

Campaign planning, product launches, sprints — all come together:

✔ Roadmaps
✔ Specs
✔ PRDs
✔ Marketing briefs
✔ SEO plans
✔ Copy
✔ QA scripts

All generated collaboratively by multiple agents working in sync — with teammates participating live in the same workspace.

No chaos.
No scattered tools.
Just one source of truth.

🔹 Why this matters now

Teams today struggle with:

❌ Too many dashboards
❌ Disconnected tools
❌ Constant context switching
❌ Copy/paste overload
❌ Endless handovers

Complete replaces all of that with:

✔ One workspace
✔ Shared context
✔ Multi-agent collaboration
✔ Multi-model execution (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, DeepMind)
✔ Real end-to-end clarity

This is how modern teams move faster — and stay aligned.

Normal life.
Winner life.

We all start at the same place.
No shortcuts. No head starts.

What separates the two is simple:
the choices we make, every single day.

Your life today is a reflection of yesterday’s decisions.
Your future will be shaped by the ones you make next.

If you want different results,
start making different choices.

Normal vs Winner life

10 sentences that gave me chills.

Not because they sounded deep.
Not because they were poetic.

But because each one exposes a truth most people avoid.
The kind of truths that quietly change how you think, move, and decide.

These aren’t feel-good lines.
They’re uncomfortable.
They challenge excuses.
They force ownership.

Read them slowly.
If one makes you pause—
that’s the one you needed most.

10 sentences that gave me chills

DON’T LEAVE ANYTHING FOR LATER.
Because “later” is the biggest scam we tell ourselves.

Every missed opportunity…
Every delayed idea…
Every “I’ll do it tomorrow”…
It compounds into regret.

Winners don’t wait for perfect timing.
They create it.

Start now.
Start messy.
Start without clarity.
But start because later never comes.

If you don’t delete the wrong things,
no amount of hustle will save you.

Before 2025 ends, most people won’t fail because they didn’t try hard enough.
They’ll fail because they kept carrying things that quietly destroyed their focus, energy, and execution.

Growth isn’t about adding more habits, more goals, more noise.
It’s about subtraction.

These are 6 things you must delete
if you want the next year to actually change your life.

6 things to delete from your life before 2025 ends

Most people don’t need more motivation.
They need fewer bad patterns repeated every day.

What actually moves the needle:

▶️ Discipline outperforms emotion. Always.

▶️ Value creates income, not effort alone.

▶️ Money follows knowledge. Avoid it, and you stay dependent.

▶️ Temporary discomfort buys long-term control.

▶️ Time is the only asset that never refunds, spend it deliberately.

▶️ Your standards rise or fall with your environment.

▶️ Growth starts when excuses stop feeling acceptable.

▶️ Comfort compounds into pressure. Discipline compounds into freedom.

▶️ Fundamentals aren’t optional, they’re non-negotiable.

▶️ Entertainment pauses life. Progress changes it.

Build quietly. Choose intentionally.

The future isn’t guessed, it’s earned daily.

The most expensive skill in the world isn’t rare.

THE MOST EXPENSIVE SKILL IN THE WORLD

An unfair advantage isn’t loud.
It’s built quietly, daily, and on purpose.

Most people chase motivation.
High performers design systems.

They focus when others multitask.
They build skills that scale, not hours that exhaust.
They choose environments that push them forward.
They play long-term while others look for quick wins.
They create value before asking for rewards.
They stay consistent when excitement fades.
They protect their time like an asset.

That’s how the gap is created.
Not by doing more.
But by doing the right things for long enough.

Save this.
Revisit it when consistency feels boring.

They read to understand cash flow, leverage, psychology, risk, and long-term thinking.

Everyone is missing something.

But peace doesn’t come from collecting more.
It comes from appreciating what’s already in your hands.

Gratitude turns enough into abundance.
Comparison turns abundance into emptiness.

Be happy with what you have.

No ranks.
No pressure-filled report cards.
No labeling kids as “topper” or “average.”

Instead, Japan focused on something radical:

→ Curiosity over cramming
→ Learning pace over comparison
→ Character over marks

Teachers started observing:
How a child thinks.
How they solve problems.
How they collaborate.
How they handle failure.

And here’s what happened:

✔ Less anxiety, more confidence
✔ Better problem-solving skills
✔ Stronger emotional intelligence
✔ Kids who actually enjoy learning

The biggest takeaway?

Exams measure memory.
Life measures understanding.

When education shifts from proving intelligence
to building intelligence,
everything changes.

Maybe the future of learning isn’t about asking
“How much did you score?”
but “How well did you grow?”

Food for thought.

When something doesn’t work, the answer isn’t forcing it, chasing harder, or turning the failure inward.
It’s regulation.

Koalas don’t spiral when effort brings no reward.
They conserve energy. They rest.

Biology understands something humans forget:
Burning more energy into a losing loop only destroys clarity and self-worth.

Psychology is clear — stepping back reduces rumination, calms the nervous system, and restores decision quality.
Pushing in the wrong moment doesn’t build discipline.
It builds burnout.

Pausing isn’t quitting.
Rest isn’t avoidance.

It’s intelligence.
It’s restraint.
It’s self-respect.

Lionel Messi
9 rules for success

He wasn’t destined for greatness.
He built it.

Not the tallest.
Not the strongest.
Not the loudest.

But obsessed with improvement.
Relentless with discipline.
Patient with progress.

Messi’s journey reminds us:

✅ Talent opens the door
✅ Consistency keeps it open
✅ Humility sustains it
✅ Focus separates the great from the average
✅ Daily effort beats rare motivation

Greatness isn’t gifted.
It’s practised every single day.

Save this for when progress feels slow.
