I help B2B Founders Get clients on LinkedIn I Through Founder-Story-led Marketing.

I help you bridge the gap between who you think you are and who you truly are. So you can achieve what's on your mind and bring it into reality. 

I focus on:
-Self-Concept and Self-belief: The stories you tell have weight, I help you transform into who you truly are.
-Value based system for goal setting: If you or your team are setting goals but not achieving them, I help you get clarity on what you want and why you want it, so you can set goals from a value-based system to achieve them.
-Rewiring and transforming your belief system: It all stems from your beliefs and what you think is possible for you vs what you can truly achieve. I help you transform your blocks into power and having your mind working with you instead of against you.


3 ways I can help you:

-Yearly workshops and 1:1's (for 7 and 8-figure organizations)
-1-on-1 Tailored coaching (for 6-figure entrepreneurs)
-Yearly support and transformation (Beyond Becoming - community for business owners under $90k a year who want to transform their business by transforming their mind).

Why do I do what I do?

-Last year I got into an identity crisis when I burnt my business to the ground and started my life from scratch. Since then, I gave myself permission to start a podcast and transform my life by helping others transforms theirs. There will be suffering in life, but we aren't meant to be stuck there.

So I decided to be the bridge of transformation.

DM for enquiries.

___________________________________________________________________________________

**If the term "Identity coaching" is new to you, here's the best way I can describe it:**

Identity coaching is about shifting who leaders and teams are being, not just what they’re doing. I help uncover and rewire the unconscious patterns driving decision-making so they can lead, perform, and grow from an empowered place, which creates stronger leadership, culture, and revenue.

Mindset treats the symptom, identity treats the root.

Geni Cor

Here's what I would do If I wanted to start and monetize a podcast within the next 3 to 6 months:
(from someone who went from nothing to a Top ranked podcast)


1-Story over education (first 5 episodes):
The single thing that drives most downloads and partnerships is storytelling.
Who are you, where did you come from, why do you do what you do, what was your turning point, how can you help?

The first 5 episodes I'd solely focus on communicating your vision and let people relate to you.

2-Strategic guest placements:
I'd look for the top or most relatable guests in your industry that have a specific audience (piggy back from your guests audience here is HUGE).

Ex: You're helping people invest smarter and grow their wealth, bring a guest who's been on other podcasts and has a more established audience. 

3-Communication over perfection:
Podcasts that grow and bring big guests, don't have it all perfect, in fact, they are messy behind the scenes, but they own a VERY powerful skill: The art of effective communication.
Know how to communicate your vision to your guests and partners...and you'll be set up.

4-Set up the show for monetization from the GET GO:
Biggest lie in the industry is: You need 100,000 downloads to get monetized.
I call that "horse crap". You do NOT need to be on the charts to monetize.
But you need to know what value your show brings and how this can help other companies advertise their products/services. 1 or 2 aligned partnerships can bring in multiple 5-figures.

5-Get over the fear of speaking your truth:
This is a BIG one. Getting over the fear of exposure will bring you more growth than strategy. Trust me. Speak your truth. BE BOLD. BE POLIRIZING.

This will help and connect with your audience more than being "politically correct".

And last one...for the love of God..HAVE FUN.
People can tell when you're faking it or forcing it (and so do companies).

Have fun, loosen the grip.

Do these resonate? Let me know in the comments👇🏻

P.S: I have 2 spots left for my 1-on-1 coaching program to grow and monetize your podcast. Won't be doing any more 1on1's after this. Send me a DM and we will have a chat!

Host of House of Impact - Top 100 UK Charts - 1-on-1 Podcasting Coaching Now OPEN NEW FULL EPISODE HERE 👇🏻

This journey is not easy but it is worth it.

Take what you need and go for it!

The bigger impact on your own life, the bigger the impact on other people's lives.

Do you agree?

Having a podcast will transform your life.

And I do not say that lightly.

Since starting House of Impact I:
-Been connected to the Top 1% producers, podcasters and PR strategists in the industry.
-I've been booked for keynote panels.
-I've traveled to 3 continents to record with dream guests.
-I've been connected to dream brands and partnerships.

I wake up everyday frikin' excited to live my life and leave an impact while doing so.

The biggest transformation hasn't been only the impact, but being able to live a life aligned in my purpose and calling.

And helping people do the same.

Grateful for it all.

This is what TRULY drives podcast and revenue growth
(Learn this, and your business and brand will be unstoppable)

Growing and running a podcast that will bring in revenue for your business and major brand partnerships shouldn't be a "hassle".

Over the last 2 years of running House of Impact, I've seen a lot of friends in the industry that started a podcast and 10 episodes in, gave up.

"It is a hassle and it isn't working".

Podcasting CAN be a hassle and a "waste of time" if you:
Have weak positioning
No repeatable framework
No clear messaging
No system to bring in traffic from short form to long form
No system to generate leads

And your overall planning and post-production is a mess.

Then it IS a hassle and a nightmare (you might want to stay away from this).

But the harsh truth is:
The podcasts that succeeded were set up for success from the very beginning.
(So was mine!)

Having systems, knowing where your traffic is going, knowing what offers your audience needs, knowing what episodes are the top ones...

That takes systems, consistency and direction.

Get these right, and you will grow whatever business you want.

And...don't be surprised when you companies reach out to you for high-paid keynotes 😉 

(Sorry not sorry, someone had to say it)

The hidden "secret" to having a successful and profitable podcast...
and the thing that truly matters most is this👇🏻

On today's Monday series of "What's in my DM's"

"We will prioritize growing our podcast when we increase our lead flow".

This is the top thing that keeps popping up in my DM's when talking with other founders who have or are thinking about starting a podcast.

Fair enough, I don't blame them...BUT:

A lot of growth in business is attributed to TRUST. And trust is built by sharing stories people relate to and can see themselves in.

And that's what having a podcast creates.

When I first started podcasting, I never thought I'd have the option to create a business from it...but it turns out, people trusts you and so they trust what you have to say (and sell).

Since then, I've created 2 more income streams that wouldn't be there if I had never started.

Growing a podcast has not only worked for business growth but for:
-Major partnerships with aligned companies.
-Keynote opportunities with my ideal audience
-Multiple 5-figure deals

Turns out, having a podcast people tune into...is a massive lever to pull (and one 90% of founders are sleeping in).

Now...

I am not here to convince you to start and grow a podcast and hire me to help you...But what I am here to say out loud is:

Podcasting is the biggest trust and growth lever you can pull, don't leave money on the table just because "you don't have time". 

I slept on podcasting for 3 years and I wish I had started earlier.

P.S: I am working with 3 founders 1-on-1 to help them start or grow their podcast and attract more partnerships for their business. Send me a DM with "Podcast". Would love to hear your vision!

Here are 3 things I would NEVER do if I wanted to grow your business or brand through your podcast. (Save this)

1-Outsource guest booking for "time's sake": 

This is probably one of the things that will damage your podcast AND brand the most. Booking agencies charge around $3k a month to book you guests (that might not even be the good fit for you). They might book you big guests, but they care about placement.

Learn how to book big guests yourself from the very beginning. The network you will gain is quite substantial and that will pay x10 more long-term.

(I still do this 18 months into my show and I won't outsource it)

2-Use your podcast as a billboard to promote your business: 

For the love of God...don't. Your podcast will bring leads, opportunities...whatever you put in, you will get...BUT, Podcasts are made for connection.
If all you care about is flood your show with promotion...your drop out rate will be high and people won't even stick around to even hear about your offer.

3-Posting x2 a month and expecting your show to blow up:

Podcasting is a long-term game, but it is also a compound game. You will reap the most the more consistent you are and the longer you stay in the industry.

People will still listen to your episodes even if these are 6 to 12 months old. 
If you keep a consistent release schedule (optimal x4 a month), you will see compound growth all over.

These are my 2 cents, from someone who did almost everything herself (still do).

Do not follow all the advice you hear out there.

I didn't start my podcast because it was the right time.

I started because I was struggling. Bad.

It wasn't the right time, under the right circumstances.

Finances were not on my side either.

But I was at such a low...in such a pit...that I had no other option but to get myself out of the hole that I was in and start.

I was scared. 

I didn't know people in the industry. I didn't know how to record podcasts. 

What to ask. Who to interview.

But I knew that not starting wasn't going to solve this. 
Entertaining the thought of "starting" and not do it...
It would only make it worse.

I knew that If I were to look back on my life a year from now and still be in the same place..I wouldn't forgive myself for it.

I knew something had to change and I had to lean into that nudge in my soul that said " Just go do it. Just start".

And I am so glad for it, because almost 2 years ago I couldn't recognize myself or my life. And what started as a Hail Mary to save my mental health...has become the lighthouse that's helping thousands change their lives.

And change mine in the process.

Starting or growing a podcast can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be.

I am taking 2 more founders to work with 1-on-1 with me over the next 3 months to launch, grow and monetize your show.

If you've been feeling that nudge inside of you that says "Just start". I'd love to help you. Send me a message and we will grab a chat!

And 150 others.. 

My goal is to do at least 44 selfies this weekend with amazing people that I am meeting.

I was in the airport in Orlando on my way back from a conference and I ran into Ira Zlotowitz turns out he sees my posts on TIKTOK from all places! OMG, I just started a new account.. Do you use tiktok? We had the most amazing conversation. 

I love connecting with my Linkedin Connections in real life. 

I actually got to meet his wife too. I thought she was his daughter as she looks so young! OMG. 

Meeting my Linkedin connections in person is very special. Im traveling up north to have dinner with a special connection who is an intuative to talk about manifestation. 

I dont even need to mention her and she will know. 

LOL

I have started a practice of deep meditation that helps me be able to be a better manifester. 

What happens on the inside is much more important than what happens on the outside. 

I recently read a book about numerology from someone who is channeling a being from the 1700s, it was an epic book and it confirmed what I was feeling about 444. 

If you want the book, let me know below happy to send you the link, it actually only costs, 4.44 lol, that was crazy. 

Do you believe in manifestation and do you tap into your spiritual intution?

Today while i was manifesting what came to me is to make a list of EVERYTHING that creates a profile about a leader. 

Thought Leader
Business Leader
Soul Centered Leader

I am creating agents that research all your relationships.. 

Imagine you know each persons BOOK, RESEARCH STUDIES, AWARDS, FRAMWORKS, SIGNATURE METHODS, PODCAST APPEARENCES. 

Imagine you looked at a connection and saw every YOUTUBE VIDEO they ever published.. 

Not just contact info, but CONTEXT info.. 

Why matters more now than ever in the cluttery world where infomation is unlimited. 

Imagine you had an agent that could just tell you who your most valuable connections are based on who they know that you need to know. 

THIS IS WHAT I AM WORKING ON. 

Also what came to me is that we all have the power to channel powerful beings that allow us to accomplish our mission. 

Think of your spirit animal. 

Think of the power of the mastermind. 

Think about your higher self. 

I want to see your digital footprint.. and if you dont have one OMG, that is dangerous cause anyone else can create one and steal your name. 

Start building an intentional digital footprint to protect your reputation before it gets hijacked and there is nothing you can do about it but suffer the consiquense of not starting earlier. 

Or join the witness protection program.. 

LOL.. how is your digital footprint?

PS: Ira sat right by me in first class. CRAZY how the universe aligns people.. I love his company GPARENCY if you have not checked it out, I highly recommend it. I take his success personally.

imagine you left your entire life and moved to another country with your wife, your kids ans you left everything... including your multi million dollar business.

Sounds crazy?

Right?

Thats what David Schnurman did and he wrote a book about it.

I traveled to go see him talk about it.

Tom Krieglstein interviewed him at this amazing book launch event in NYC.

Danny Mizrahi and Robin Fisher were there to support him.

it was really nice to see friends from EO, YPO and even school teachers from Brooklyn that came to show love.

His father was there Alan Schnurman total real estate Rockstar. he told me he loves my long comments... yes proud of that for sure! I love leaving detailed comments on posts to show my appreciation for people I care about. 

I also met a bunch of new friends at the event that I look forward following up with.

I recommend you look up the book on Amazon and you read it to learn about this lovely story.

it's called Eleven Suitcases... creative name.

Would you ever do somwthing like this?

Imagine standing at the edge of a vast ocean, ready to dive in, but unsure where to begin. That's how most people feel about social media networking—overwhelmed, paycheck to paycheck, missing the deep connections that change everything.

I've been there. As a single father of five and serial entrepreneur, I once feared putting my photo online or speaking publicly. 

Today, with tens of thousands of followers, I host the 8th annual LinkedIn Influencer Summit, drawing over a thousand passionate people. Why? 

Because my dream is to spark $100 million in economic activity for clients by helping 1,000 generate $100,000 each in business profit.

JOIN ME AT 2PM with 1000 amazing people coming.

The secret lies in true giving—being present, building relationships that nourish the soul. 

Most struggle because they network transactionally, not philosophically. 

Shift to "being" over "doing": listen deeply, give value first, and watch opportunities flow naturally.

Nat Berman knows this.. that is why is speaking at the summit! 

ALSO that's why I created evyAI, our AI assistant for social media, serving users in 40 countries via Chrome extension, mobile app, and web platform. It drafts thoughtful comments to speed up engagement on LinkedIn and Facebook. 

It crafts posts with hooks, main points, calls to action, and hashtags. Generate images that look just like you using cutting-edge nanobana technology—perfect for personal branding.

Plus, it customizes connection notes, organizes contacts into smart lists, researches profiles with AI agents, and documents insights meaningfully. 

Our daily community of over 1,000 engaged users supports each other, turning networking into joyful collaboration.

Rhonda Sher is not just a linkedin trainer but she is also a client and amazing referral partner. She was on the cruise with me this year! 

I wrote five books like High Energy Networking and High Energy Purpose to share this wisdom—because living is giving.

Joshua B. Lee is our first speaker today and you will love him.. Troy Hipolito is also speaking together with James "JON" Keel and Sam Rathling hope you can make it 

Join our mission: Let me know who is an ideal client for you in the comments.

$30 billion. One investment. One message.

Nvidia is reportedly in talks to invest $30B into OpenAI.

Let that sink in. The company that builds the chips powering AI is now betting $30 billion on the company building the brain of AI.

Here's the truth: when the infrastructure company doubles down on the intelligence company, the signal to every entrepreneur is deafening — AI is not a trend, it's the terrain.

The businesses being built on top of these tools right now — including evyAI, serving 23,000 users across 40 countries — are sitting on a foundation that just got a $30 billion vote of confidence.

The most important question for any B2B leader today is: are you building on top of AI infrastructure, or are you still debating whether to start?

BOOM. 

The window is open. 

Build now.

What's the #1 AI tool your business cannot live without right now? Tell me below. 👇

if you have a goal... you need someone to help while you run with the ball like your life depends on it... 

Dont just sit on the sidelines when you get the chance to win

Know that you will have teammates like number 21 that have your back and stop the enemy from stopping you.

Keep going, full power...

You got this....

1000 people are coming to the Influencer summit on Wednesday.. So excited that we are doing this together ❤️ 

Tag the people that have your back in the comments! 

You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.

Get that mastermind together 🧒👦👧🧑👱👨🧔‍♂️🧔‍♀️🧔‍♀️🧔👨‍🦰 unite the people that are aligned. 

Who do you want on your team?

AI users are getting promoted.

Accenture just made it official.

They are now directly linking AI adoption to leadership advancement. 

If you use AI well, you move up. If you don't, someone who does will pass you.

Here's the truth: this isn't about replacing people with AI. It's about replacing people who ignore AI with people who embrace it.

I've trained over 23,000 professionals on AI tools through evyAI — and the ones who go all in? 

They don't just save time. They become indispensable.

The question every entrepreneur and B2B leader needs to answer right now is: are you building AI fluency into your team's DNA, or are you waiting until you're forced to?

Don't wait to be mandated. Lead the adoption.

What's your company doing to reward AI-forward behavior? Drop it below. 👇

#LinkedInStrategy #DigitalNetworking #AIforSocial

A woman just told me she does not want to do business with me because she said "I was abrupt with my team" the last time I was on a call with her. She got bad vibes from me. I was THRILLED....

No everyone is my type. 

The last thing I want to do is work with a person that does not like my energy. 

And I will certainly not be fake with my employees in front of my clients. 

I love my employees and treat them with the upmost respect, but I am very straight forward with them WHICH THEY LOVE because it helps them grow. 

I just asked JEN on my team if she prefers if I am UPFRONT with her and direct or if I should be sweet and sugar coat.. she said she takes everything I say POSITIVLY so no matter what I do, she is happy but she does want me to be direct and honest with her when she messes up.

Let me ask you a question, WOULD you rather work with someone who lies to you and fakes who they are or with someone who is authentic?

Its definatly not about me, she was clearly not ready to leverage Linkedin and she does not want blessings in her life. 

People are full of excuses and those excuses give them reasons to STAY STUCK. 

I am not looking to work with 1.2 billion people, Im looking to work with the right 1000 people and go deep with them. 

People do me a favor when they self qualify... so I dont have to follow up with them... I believe it's a privilege to work with our team. 

How would you prefer to have people communicate with you? Do you like when people are direct with you?

How To Do Online Events Right! Elisa Boogaerts & Joe Apfelbaum

This morning, while live on LinkedIn, I poured my heart into an article answering dozens of questions from the LinkedIn Influencer Summit—all focused on Answer Engine Optimization, or AEO. 👇

It's like a roadmap to being found when people seek answers, not just links.

What struck me most? Success on platforms like LinkedIn isn't about shouting louder; it's about whispering wisdom that echoes in searches.

AEO teaches us to craft responses that search engines love—clear, direct, and deeply helpful. Think of it as planting seeds in fertile digital soil, where your insights grow into opportunities.

One key takeaway: Structure your answers with questions as hooks, stories for depth, and steps for action. This mirrors how our AI assistant at EvyAI helps you draft posts, comments, and messages effortlessly across 40 countries.

We've built tools—a Chrome extension, mobile app, web platform—that generate hooks, main points, calls to action, even personalized images using cutting-edge tech. Plus, AI agents organize your LinkedIn connections, research them meaningfully, and foster real relationships.

Our daily community of over 1,000 engaged users proves it: True growth comes from giving value first, building together like a family.

Watch the full recording of me writing this on my YouTube channel, and grab the article below to dive deeper.

What's one question burning in your mind about AEO or social media AI? Share in the comments—I'd love to answer and connect. 👇

I used to be afraid of speaking in public. I didnt know it at the time. But once Google approached me to do a seminarz I quickly realized it was terrified.

The Journey to overcome that fear opened up many doors for me.

It helped me see how much personal development I needed to do to be able to shine.

We all have fears, traumas, insecurities and beliefs that stop us from playing full out.

When we challenge our thinking and we become uncomfortable we grow

Growth doesnt happen in the comfort zone.

It happens when we stretch way outside what we are comfortable with 

Im going to be talking about the power of LinkedIn and how I leverage it to generate 100 million dollars in economic activity for my clients.

This movement is not about me

What topics do you speak about when you do speaking engagements?

I created 50 amazing voices for your STEAL right now in my latest article.. Have you ever wondered why some people seem to effortlessly stand out on social media, while others struggle to get any attention at all? The secret isn’t just about posting often; it’s about understanding the deeper art of voice and timing. 

As someone who’s built multiple businesses and now helps thousands leverage AI to enhance their social presence, I can tell you this: strategy is everything. It's not enough to speak — you need to speak with intention, knowing exactly which voice to use and when. 

Imagine your messages as a symphony. Each voice — Motivator, Statesman, Archetype, Philosopher, and others — has a unique role. When layered correctly, they create a compelling narrative that captures attention and sparks connection. 

This is what makes content not just good, but memorable. It’s about understanding the trigger moments — the times when certain voices can inspire, build trust, or even challenge your audience to think differently. 

To truly master this, you need a system — a way to plan and execute your content with precision. That’s why I created a complete content operating system, with detailed categories, sample openings, and a strategic calendar that guides you every day. 

The most powerful skill? Learning to layer voices in a single post. Opening with gravitas, building warmth, pivoting with insight, and finishing with a punchline. That’s a formula for genuine impact and lasting influence. 

Strategy and authenticity go hand in hand. When you interpret rather than impersonate, your message becomes authentic, memorable, and engaging. 

If you’re ready to elevate your social media game in a meaningful way, I encourage you to try out these principles. Share your thoughts or experiences in the comments below — I love hearing how you’re applying these ideas. 

Remember, the most compelling stories are born from a deep understanding of voice and timing. Your next breakthrough could start with just one intentional post. 

Let’s empower each other to create content that truly moves people. 

Like this post if you found value, and leave a comment sharing your biggest insight or question.

50 Famous Voices To Train Your AI to Sound Like You

Big problem.. One of the influencers in our Linkedin influencer summit backed out.. He had some family stuff going on.. Who do you know that has a big following that would add massive value to the 1000+ people coming on Wednesday on Zoom?

We are looking for a speaker that teaches Linkedin right now and that would benefit from being in front of this amazing crowd of Linkedin creators, networkers and people who want to grow on this platform. 

Can you take a few people who you know are amazing at Linkedin?
