😎 Kris Curran 😎

🎂 Happy Birthday, Sean! 🥳

Let's hear it for the incredible, resilient, and brilliant soul that is my younger brother, Sean!

Today is his 34th birthday.

And I want to take a moment to tell the world how incredibly proud I am of him.

- He’s Autistic.
- He’s a Trailblazer.
- He’s a constant source of inspiration.

Sean navigates a world that isn't always built for him, and yet he does it with courage, humor, and sheer determination.

He reminds me daily that strength comes in many forms, and that different doesn't just mean different, it means POWERFUL.

I'm constantly in awe of his journey and his perspective.

Did you know he has been working at Whole Foods for over 13 years and even started driving himself to work a couple of years ago? 

Happy Birthday, little brother. 

Keep on crushing it!

Revenue Growth Leader | Driving Growth Through Marketing, RevOps, and Copy That Converts

💥 Stop treating Sales & Marketing as the SAME job.

They are not interchangeable. 

Confusing them is the fastest way to burn your budget and watch your leads dry up.

Every founder needs to master both. 

Why? 

Because Marketing fills the funnel, and Sales seals the deal.

🧠 The critical difference:

Marketing is the air support. 

Goal: Awareness & Education.

Focus: The Crowd. Attracting, nurturing, and qualifying many people through content, SEO, and ads.

Sales is the boots on the ground.

Goal: Conversion & Revenue.

Focus: The Individual. Building rapport and closing one person through conversations and negotiations.

💰 Why you must learn both.

As an entrepreneur, you can't afford to be just "good" at one.

Mastering Marketing makes Sales easier. 

Your leads arrive warmer, smarter, and ready to buy. 

You get a predictable pipeline.

Mastering Sales makes Marketing smarter. 

You hear the real objections and pain points firsthand, allowing you to create marketing that actually converts.

This duality is the engine room of every successful business. 

You can't delegate what you don't understand.

🔥 Your action plan.

What's the single most valuable thing you've learned from being forced to do both sales and marketing?

Share your lesson below. Let's help new founders stop making this split-personality mistake.

🤖 The AI Lie You Need to Stop Believing

AI is great. Absolutely. It’s an unbelievable tool.

But the best entrepreneurs know it’s not a magic button.

You can't just press 'Generate' and call it a day. 

That's lazy!

Your job isn't to use AI. Your job is to master the skill behind the prompt.

Like any other skill, you still need to learn the fundamentals.

Why? 

So you can understand the output. 

So you can see the flaws. 

So you can make it 10x better.

The real power move is not having AI, but knowing how to direct it.

The value is still in your brain.

Your expertise. 

Your critical eye. 

Your market intuition. 

That’s what makes AI’s output brilliant, not generic.

Don't outsource your thinking.

Outsource the tedious tasks.

The person who masters the underlying skill will always outperform the person who just uses the tool.

This is how you build a better, faster, stronger business. 

This is how you win as an entrepreneur.

So, what's one core skill you're deliberately choosing to deepen, even while using AI to accelerate your work?

🦃 A Heartfelt Thanksgiving & Deep Gratitude! 

Hello to my incredible network!

Today, as the leaves crunch and the scent of cinnamon fills the air, my heart is overflowing with GRATITUDE.

This Thanksgiving, I’m not just reflecting on good fortune, I am truly celebrating YOU.

THANK YOU!

Seriously. THANK YOU for being a vital part of my journey this year.

Every connection, every encouraging word, and every interaction has been FUEL IN THE TANK.

You are more than just contacts:

You are my ADVOCATES, MENTORS, and FRIENDS who have stood by me through it all.

I am eternally grateful for the connection we share, and I look forward to the road ahead with all of you.

Wishing you and your loved ones a Thanksgiving filled with LAUGHTER, LOVE, and a truly EPIC amount of pumpkin pie. (My favorite!)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Let's connect in the comments—what are YOU most grateful for today? 👇

Stop Sugarcoating. Start Leading.

The best leaders I know say what needs to be said.

No fluff. No dancing around the issue. No passive-aggressive emails at 11 PM.

Just clear, direct communication.

But here's where people get it twisted:

Direct ≠ Mean

Assertive ≠ Aggressive

Assertive is saying: "This isn't working. Here's what needs to change."

Aggressive is saying: "You clearly don't know what you're doing."

See the difference?

One respects the person. One attacks them.

One opens dialogue. One shuts it down.

So why do so many of us struggle with being direct?

Because we've been taught that being nice means avoiding uncomfortable conversations.

We worry we'll come across as harsh.

We fear damaging the relationship.

We think people will call us "difficult" or worse.

The first time you're direct, it may feel terrifying.

Your heart races. Your voice shakes. You second-guess every word.

That discomfort? It's not a sign you're doing it wrong.

It's a sign you're doing something new.

But what happens next changes everything.

The issue gets resolved faster.

Respect grows (even if it's uncomfortable at first).

Your team learns they can trust you to be honest, not just "nice."

And slowly, being direct stops feeling scary.

It starts feeling like integrity.

The leaders people actually want to follow?

They don't leave you guessing.

They don't make you read between the lines.

They tell you the truth, even when it's hard.

So what's holding you back from being more direct as a leader?

Grit isn’t glamorous.

It’s rolling out of bed when your body says no.  

It’s showing up when life hits harder than any investor pitch ever could.  

Each time my mom went through chemo, I learned what it meant to persist through pain.  

When I helped raise my autistic younger brother, I found patience I didn’t know existed.  

And when I got accepted into Juilliard on my first try after my trumpet teacher told me I was his worst student, I learned the power of being scrappy. 

That’s what the Finns call Sisu.

It's the quiet fire that keeps burning when reason says stop.  

Entrepreneurship demands the same thing.  

No straight lines. No perfect story.  

Just guts, grind, and grace under pressure.  

Every obstacle is a forge. Every rejection, a rep.  

Sisu isn’t strategy. It’s survival. 

Survival builds strength. 

And strength builds confidence. 

When life or business pushes you to the edge, where do you find your Sisu?

Your LinkedIn inbox is a black hole.

I'm sure you know the feeling, right? 

Valuable leads get buried under piles of spam.

Critical follow-ups slip your mind because you can't find the conversation.

And real revenue opportunities vanish simply because the interface is too clunky to manage.

It’s not just annoying.

It is costing you money.

Stop letting the chaos win.

I’ve been using Kondo, and it completely fixed my workflow.

It is essentially "Superhuman" for your LinkedIn DMs.

Instead of drowning in messages, you get:

 ✅ Speed (Keyboard shortcuts for everything)
 ✅ Clarity (Split inboxes to separate leads from noise)
 ✅ Sanity (True Inbox Zero)

I can finally manage my DMs without the anxiety.

If you want to fix your inbox, now is the time.

🤯 I messed up. Big time.

I'm an entrepreneur. You get it.

Hustle mode before the year ends? Full throttle.

I was so deep in client work, sealing deals, and crushing Q4 goals...

I FORGOT.

The critical error?

I didn't submit a major invoice for an entire month's worth of work.

Yep.

That check I was expecting this week?

Delayed.

Because I was moving too fast. 

Because I let a tiny administrative detail slip through the cracks of my massive year-end grind.

Lesson Learned (The hard way)

Admin is part of the growth.

The prize for going 1000 mph? 

Waiting another 30 days to get paid. Ouch. 😅

Fellow entrepreneurs: Take five minutes. 

Check your systems. Check your invoices.

Don't let your hustle cost you cash flow.

Has anyone else made a ridiculously expensive admin error when you were "in the zone"? Share your story! 👇

🦃 Gratitude in the Chaos: A Pre-Thanksgiving Reflection

PURE CRISIS MODE. That's what Tuesday morning felt like.

Just days before Thanksgiving, my puppy, Bella, shattered the inside pane of a double-pane window. 

For the SECOND time.

It looked like a crime scene. 

Blood and glass everywhere. 

Pure chaos.

I immediately went into overdrive. 

Split-second decision time.

My biggest fear? Bella's paw. She had a bad cut.

But thankfully, it looked much worse than it was.

I got her to the vet immediately. 

"Emergency! I need you all to drop what you're doing and look at my baby right now!"

Crisis averted. She's going to be just fine! 

Relief.

Why share this wild story?

Because as an entrepreneur, this scenario is eerily familiar.

We constantly face moments of intense pressure and limited information. 

We have to make critical decisions while surrounded by chaos.

We need to understand how and when to bend the rules when things are predictable or
very unpredictable.

It's about the ability to spring into action. 

To stay focused when everything else is spinning. 

To not only find, but BE the calm in the storm.

This Thanksgiving, my list of things to be thankful for is extra long.

I'm thankful for my incredible and mischievous puppy, Bella.

I’m thankful for a vet who knows when I show up it's important and sees me right away. 

And I’m profoundly thankful for the resilience we build when things go wrong.

Things will break. Chaos will happen. It's how you respond that defines the outcome.

By the way, have you or anyone you know experienced this with your pet before? What's the best window protection solution?

I used to think being a good person meant always saying yes.

Always being available.

Always putting others first.

Then I learned something critical:

You can't pour from an empty cup.

Doing right by others still matters.
Being generous matters.
Showing up for people matters.

But here's what I've learned matters more:

Your limits.

Boundaries aren't selfish.

They're self-preservation.

You can be kind AND have limits.
You can help AND protect your energy.
You can care deeply AND say no.

The people who truly value you will respect your boundaries.

Sustainable generosity requires one thing:

Protecting what makes you able to give in the first place

Your time. Your peace. Your capacity.

Strong boundaries = stronger relationships.

Not weaker ones.

Where do you draw the line between helping others and protecting yourself?

Running a business was supposed to give you more freedom, not take it away.

But somewhere along the way, growth slowed. The work got heavier. You’re buried in day-to-day decisions, your team is busy, but results aren’t where they should be. Instead of scaling, it feels like you’re stuck.

That’s not failure. That’s a business plateau. And it’s more common than most business owners are willing to admit.

I help fix that.

For more than 25 years, I’ve worked with owners and leadership teams in manufacturing, ecommerce, and B2B services to help them grow businesses that run better, generate more value, and eventually become sellable when the time is right.

Through Exit Your Way, I guide B2B companies to build systems, elevate teams, and create exit options, even if they don’t plan to sell for years. Through our work at B2Btail with the Digital Game Plan strategy development/execution process, we help companies stop being the best kept secret by creating marketing foundations that attract their ideal customers and position them for long-term success.

My focus is simple: helping you build a business that works, whether you’re in the room or not.

Common challenges I help solve:

Low visibility: Your best customers don’t know you exist. We fix that by aligning messaging, strategy, and marketing assets to bring them to you.

Owner overload: If everything depends on you, growth hits a wall. We help build teams and systems that keep moving, even when you step away.

Exit confusion: You want out someday, but the path forward is unclear. We build companies buyers want and owners are proud of.

When it works, here’s what changes:

Customers find you because your message finally speaks their language

Your team handles the day-to-day, freeing you to focus on higher-value work

You move from reacting to leading, and from being stuck to scaling intentionally

I’ve built and sold companies, led investor-backed teams, and helped founders grow from $5 million to $30 million and beyond. I bring the tools, perspective, and calm needed to lead through messy growth and prepare for clean, profitable exits.

But this isn’t just about growth or selling. It’s about control over your time, your team, your income, and your future.

If you’re ready to lead again instead of constantly catching up, I’d be glad to talk.

Your customer is the hero.

You’re the guide.

Remember that to earn trust and drive sales.

Most businesses position themselves as the hero:

🔷We do this.

🔷We built that.

🔷We’ve been around since…

But your customer doesn’t care about your story…

They care about how you help them succeed.

When you make them the hero in your messaging:

🔥Your story supports theirs

🔥You become a trusted guide

🔥Your brand becomes magnetic

When you clearly help people understand how you might help them succeed your messaging resonates more clearly.
