Sales Business Development Manager

Creator Economy Jobs

My side project "Creator Economy Jobs" initially started out as an automated newsletter designed to alert jobseekers who are actively looking for opportunities within the creator economy. 

The project was taken over in September 2023. 

Moved into an advisory role in October 2023 to focus more on other ventures and side-projects.

Founder-Advisor

Flair Esports

- Talent Manager of a gaming collective with a total following of 1+ million. 

- Found, negotiated, and executed new brand collaborations and partnerships across several verticals, bringing in 6-figures in yearly revenue.

- Monetization, branding, and growth strategy consulting.

Creator Partnerships

University of Groningen

I had the privilege of contributing to a scientific study on Momentum Transfer (sounds more exciting than it actually was 😂)

- Assisted researchers with experiment design, data collection, and result analysis (that was fun)
- Ensured the precision and accuracy of measurements (that wasn't fun)
- Assisted in the development of specialized equipment and methodologies (that was also fun)

Research Assistant

During my teenage years, I was actively involved in the YouTube FIFA gaming creator scene.

Here's where my interest in the Creator Economy was born. 

- Achieved 2,000 subscribers within 3 months on my YouTube Gaming channel. 
- Worked as a freelance video editor for other YouTubers, with some edits reaching more than 100,000 views. 
- Founded a collective with other YouTubers (unfortunately short-lived).
- Grew and sold niche gaming Instagram accounts (how else was I supposed to make money for crypto?)

Video Editor & Content Creator

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty

Joined the Media team at RFE/RL to source and edit videos of current world events, including the Euromaidan protests in Ukraine.
During the internship, I learned valuable media skills and developed a great interest in video editing.

Media Production Intern

Scaling coaches & creators with high-ticket offers. Sharing AI, growth & sales systems. Creator Economy Expert.

The way most coaches & creators sell online is broken.

You’ve been told to do outreach, affiliate deals or sell 1:1 coaching, charging per hour. 

But none of that is scalable... 

Unless you're a superstar. 

But you're here to: 

- take things chill 
- build a sustainable business 
- spend more time with your family

Sound familiar? 

That's where I come in:

I help coaches, consultants, and creators build and launch scalable high-ticket offers - so damn good they sell themselves.

All by implementing my Layered Access System & Hypnotic Storytelling Launches. 
- No overcomplicated funnels.
- No huge teams.
- No ads.


Why me?
→ I launched 100+ membership platforms for creators, influencers, and coaches at a startup.
→ I helped clients across 10+ niches reach consistent 5-figure months (courses & info products).
→ And I generated over $500,000 in revenue for content creators, course sellers, artists, and coaches. 


Some fun facts about me:
- I speak 5 languages fluently.
- I have a Psychology degree, but my skills stretch from sales to copywriting to operations.
- I’ve built 3 online ventures: 1st failed (oops), 2nd was acquired, and 3rd is still running strong.

Fractional Chief AI Officer | Creator of AWARE™ Driving AI ROI, Adoption & Revenue Per Employee | Ex-Deloitte

AI can automate about 57% of current US work hours - McKinsey 
That should excite you. And scare you.

This is not a job loss story.
It’s a workflow redesign story.
And most leaders are playing defense.

Here’s the excitement:
→ If you redesign workflows (not just tasks), you can unlock serious value
→ AI fluency demand is up 7x in two years
→ By 2030, the US could unlock $𝟐.𝟗𝐓 𝐢𝐧 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞, if leaders prepare people and redesign work

Here’s the fear:
→ Digital and information work gets hit first
→ “Wait and see” becomes “too late” fast
→ Most skills still matter, but how you use them changes

3 Things you need to take away for 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 
→ AI Fluency is next key communication skill
→ AI Adoption needs to leadership led, Delegating to IT = 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑓𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑢𝑟𝑒 

𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 
→ Work becomes a partnership: people, agents, robots - all powered by AI.

The winners will not be the most technical.
They’ll be the fastest to redesign work around humans plus machines.

𝐏𝐒: Have a 4th Takeaway for us? 
(see report in the comments)

You have $1 Million waiting in your AI Copilot vault.

Let’s do the math.
(Not because I’m Indian)

Assume a company of 100 employees.

Average salary: $100K.
Loaded hourly cost: ~$48/hr.

Now take a very conservative productivity gain:

5 hours saved per employee per month.
(Not 40. Not 20. Just 5. Stay humble.)

5 hours × 100 people = 500 hours/month
= 6,000 hours/year

6,000 hours × $48 = $288,000/year
reclaimed back into the business.

No extra hiring.
No reorg.
No new strategy deck.

𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐈 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲.

Say you invest $30K in AI tools + training.
That’s roughly 800% ROI.

And that’s the floor.
Once your people actually use AI well,
you’re looking at $1M–$2M+ annual lift on the same $30K spend.

(IBM Report, 2025: 66% of enterprises see significant productivity gains from AI.)

This is Part 1: Math.
Part 2: Myth drops next.

PS: Share your AI ROI success story

Today is the forced closing of the company you led for 15 years.

It wasn’t a competitor that took you out.
It was a machine that made you extinct.

You ignored it. Called it a fad.
Then you panic-bought a few Copilot licenses and sent a memo:

“We’re an AI-first company.”

Nothing changed.
Because you delegated it like a software rollout.

Meanwhile, the world changed anyway.

Your AI-fluent employees brought you real proposals.
Clear use cases. Cycle-time cuts. A plan.
You sent them to IT.

They left.
And your best operators followed them out the door.

Two quarters later you missed forecast. Twice.
RFPs started asking for AI policy, turnaround time, and proof of adoption.
Your answers sounded like hope.

Your best products got commoditized.

Your competitor shipped, tested, and iterated before you finished breakfast.
Their cost of output dropped. Yours stayed human.

Then the final meeting.

Investors lost faith.
Not because you were lazy.
Because you were late.

Tomorrow you’re golfing with your buddies after a “retirement” you didn’t choose.
No war stories. Just resignation.

A machine took you out.
It wasn’t even a fair fight.

I don’t want this to be real for any CEO in 2026.

So let this stay fiction.

Tomorrow, I’ll show you what to do.

ChatGPT helped keep your gluten-allergy kid safe on your Rome vacation.
(could have saved his life)
Six months later, it not only saved your company, but is making it Thrive. 

What started as vacation planning became a business turning point.

You got curious about this AI thing and opened ChatGPT to plan Rome for your family: 

Your son has a gluten allergy, so it mapped safe places to eat in pasta paradise.
It even helped you find non-touristy fashion stores for your daughter, and it didn’t break the bank.

You came back knowing this was the future.

You bought ChatGPT Pro for your small business.
Not as a tool. As a new way of working.

You showed your team how you used it. In public. 

Then you hired a trainer who automated the mundane stuff
and gave every team member 8 hours back every week.

Those hours became innovation.

--> Sales cut cycle time in half.
--> Marketing output doubled with the same headcount.
--> Product tested ideas before building, and launched into demand.

Old customers paid more. New customers waitlisted.

You needed more capacity, so you used AI agents without adding overhead.
Revenue per employee doubled. Your ROI looked like a hockey stick.

The best part?
What used to be 12-hour grind days became nights with dinner and your family.

You weren’t just on the right side of history.
You wrote history.

You’ve Spent Millions on AI
And the only ones seeing ROI are Nvidia and Oracle.

While your dollars cool chips in a West Texas data farm,
your board is asking:
Where’s the AI ROI?

All fingers point to you.
Not because it’s your fault.
But because it’s your responsibility.

AI adoption is not a tech problem.
It’s a change management problem.
More accurately, it’s a leadership problem.

I’ve led multi-million-dollar platform deployments as a management consultant.
AI is different.

It learns. It evolves.
And it scares people. Quietly.

So your biggest risk is not the model.
It’s the humans avoiding it.

Adoption does not happen with licenses and memos.
It happens when you (leaders) learn in public and make new behavior normal.

𝐏𝐒: Are you in the camp that thinks AI cannot/does not think?

li_at

JSESSIONID

AI is not a software installation.
It’s a cultural transformation.

You can’t send a memo saying “We’re an AI-first company now”
and expect productivity to show up on Monday.

AI is not something you install.
It’s something you adopt.

ROI doesn’t come from tools.
It comes from how people actually use them -
in the tiny moments, in the daily work.

This is culture change.
And Mastery is when culture change becomes behavior.

⸻

𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐞

This isn’t a sprint.
And it’s not a multi-year grind.
It’s High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT).

Short, focused, consistent bursts.

Not “inspiration speeches.”
𝐍𝐨𝐭 50-page playbooks no one reads.

Just: 
→ Show your team how you use AI.
→ Share the micro-wins.
→ Share the confusion.
→ Share the adjustments.

Demonstrative leadership → drives adoption.

Your team learns by watching you.
Not hearing you.

⸻

Training = Guidance, Not Content

Every company has a graveyard of training videos no one has opened.

AI enablement cannot be “watch this module.”

It must be:
→ Context
→ Hands-on support
→ Shared best practices
→ Building internal champions
→ Protecting critical thinking
(Not outsourcing judgment to AI - ever.)

⸻

PS: still thinking if AI is the future?

AI will give you answers. It won’t carry the consequences.
That part is still your job.

AI does not care about your people, your culture, or your business outcomes. 
It will respond with confidence either way - 𝑇𝑎𝑙𝑘 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑎 𝑌𝑒𝑠 𝑀𝑎𝑛

Your tool to stay ahead - Strategic Empathy 

It is just not being nice
→ It is signal detection
→ It is reading fear, resistance, politics, and fatigue
→ Then making decisions people can actually follow

In the age of AI, your edge is not speed. The machine wins speed. 

Your edge is clarity under pressure. 
It is staying steady when the room is anxious. 

𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲.

2026 is the year of AI ROI - We are looking at a floor ROI of 600% on our trainings, you need to plan now in the last month of 2025 to get there

I knew immediately after meeting Shana Burg that I want to work with on AI enablement , she gets It! 

Book your workshops now to use your 2025 budgets and we will deliver it post vacation , we've priced it right at $3-4.5K  for instant/ speedy approval

Founder & Principal | Shana Burg Digital | AI Literacy & Training l Inclusive Education

To be AI successful in 2026 , you need to sow the seeds in 2025.

The majority of companies say they want to begin the transition to become “AI-first” in the next few years. But what does this actually mean?

AI-first companies don’t bolt AI onto old systems.

They redesign how work happens—processes, tools, and team habits—based on what AI can do today and what’s coming next.

As my colleague Raja Sampathi shared with me:

“A 100-person team with an average loaded cost of $100K only needs a 10% productivity lift to unlock $1M in value annually.”

We met at an Austin AI Alliance event, ran out of time, and ended up continuing the conversation on Zoom a few days later.

We’re both obsessed with one question:

How do we help leaders make the leap to deeply integrate AI?

Done well, the payoff includes:

⭐️ Better work–life balance

⭐️ Higher revenue per employee

⭐️ Stronger enterprise valuation

Raja and I are collaborating. This is for you if:

✔️ You’re already using Copilot, but need help identifying use cases and streamlining workflows across teams

✔️ You want to boost productivity without adding more meetings or more tools

✔️ You’re considering an organization-wide AI transformation and want a practical starting point

Raja has 19+ years in management consulting and executive coaching, helping senior leaders navigate transformation across industries.

I’m an educator, corporate trainer, and certified AI trainer who loves working with beginners and AI-curious teams.

Myths are for bedtime stories.
Let’s dispel the AI productivity ones.

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝟏 - AI Should NOT be Used just for Productivity Hacks 

I once led an ERP implementation where the sponsor kept saying: 
“We’ll start with the low-hanging fruit.”

But AI actually does have low-hanging fruit. And it’s immediate.

They buy back time. 
Time → becomes problem solving. 
Problem solving → becomes value.

With AI, the low-hanging fruit is the meal.

Your time saved is fuel for the innovation you seek.

(ERP implementations have no low hanging fruit, the sponsor got let go)

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝟐 - You Need 47 AI Tools to See Results
Move over Fast & Furious, there are more AI tools being released than Vin Diesel sequels.

Here’s the truth: You don’t need a tool zoo. You need one or two tools - and fluency.

Your Copilot alone - used well - can unlock millions in value. 
(See post from Yesterday in comments)

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝟑 (my Favorite) - “AI is a Fad, We Can Wait and See”

AI adoption is not a tech race. It’s a behavioral race.

Your competition knows, believes that and is scaling accordingly.

Those who start learning now will think differently, work differently, and lead differently - long before the “wait and see” crowd even realizes the gap has formed.

By the time most leaders notice the shift, they’ll already be on the wrong side of it.

Don’t think like Blackberry when the iPhone was launched.
