Consultant

Had a dream, found a mission.  Wanted to give my kids more than I had growing up and at the same time to help B2B Businesses to find consistent sustainable growth.  It all began in 2016 

Started out not knowing what the hell I was doing and then after making a lot of mistakes we grew the business and made it into Florida

Over the holidays we decided to break up...

I haven't felt in the right mind space to post about it

And this is taking a lot of effort to write

We sat down and talked about our 2 kids

And the unpredictability of the US immigration system

And how a cross cultural marriage (Colombia / UK)

makes everything difficult

And that's why we decided to break up with the traditional model of aging

We refuse to disappear into retirement after spending 40 years in a cubicle

We refuse to let AI diminish our skills and capabilities and will use it to amplify our impact

and MOST of all we refuse to teach our kids what they SHOULD do in life

While SHOWING them something totally different through our actions

They learn by watching not through what we say

I'm a 1981 baby and i'm seeing a real change in the way people are viewing mid-life

Are you?

p.s. shameless hook, i know

Well my post about getting divorced got 9k views:

And also a few visits from the ‘this platform is for professional content only’ police

Let me say it loud for those who can’t hear me over their blue sirens 

I get to define what ‘professional’ means to me 

And so does everybody else 

It’s not 1860 anymore 

Peace 

P.s I’m not getting divorced - see said post below

P.p.s I was in London last week and it was COLD

No alternative text description for this image

never ever ever ever goes wrong

here we go

if you want to make interesting content then BECOME an interesting person.

done

saved you 10k

happy friday

Did Tony Robbins teach Alex Hormozi how to 'feel'?

This was a fascinating interview 

This came out of it clearly:

- Alex lives in his head (analytical) rather than his heart

- He's built a "push" motivation system (duty, obligation) rather than a "pull" system (genuine desire)

Tony helped him and at times Alex admitted he didn't get it

Most valuable content i've seen in years and makes you realize why the feed here can be so soulless

Did you see it?  Are you a hustle fan?

Uber charges more if your phone battery is below 25%

Kroger sets grocery prices based on area 

Soon to be based on time of day

This is called ‘survelience pricing’ 

All thanks to Ai 

and the people that gladly share all their data with it

Often say something like this in a righteous tone:

'‘I don’t mind I’ve got nothing to hide’’

Thanks Dave - great job

Your beer is now 300% more expensive

Keep sharing

Do you shut off data sharing?

The fly, the window and the paragraph that changed my life:

A fly is frantically trying to escape the room by flying into the window

 because it can see the tree's outside but doesn't have the vision to see the window pane

It doesn't know its there

And here's thing

ALL It needs to do is turn around and fly out the open door on the other side of the room

And it's free

That RIGHT there WAS a metaphor for my business and I got it form my fave book (in comments)

And last year and then I received a gift from the universe and only discovered my open door 

It was a 'cease and desist' from one of the big social media platforms

We had gotten so big, we were on the radar

I restructured the business starting last summer 

And the last 6 months have meant less work + way more profits 

Sometimes the open door in your life is staring you right in the face and you just can't see it 

I couldn't see it 

I'll be documenting it on my new substack

We already did 1m views on youtube  and I love it because its 10-15m and i can really teach and build community

and i'm feeling called to write deeper, about what we went through making $4m revenue while bringing up kids

And the truth about hustle and it's limits 

reach out if you want a link 

And what was your open door in life?  We all have them?

p.s and the book is you2

p.s.s the biggest change was moving from platform based positioning to something else that's 'protected from ai'

Hello there! Welcome to my LinkedIn About section. Forget the usual spiel – here's the fun stuff.

I've studied business and management, achieving a BBA from Nichols College and an MBA from University of Georgia. My thirst for knowledge led me to further studies at Purdue University, and a slew of certifications and courses too numerous to list.

My work life is a colorful tapestry of experiences. From shipbuilding to textiles, optical to insurance, even city government and sales management, I've been there. With tech of the time, I recruited a whopping 3,000 agents. Today, I 
channel all this into "Your Operating Manual".

In a nutshell, "Your Operating Manual"  is like that trusty guide you turn to when a video game gets tough. But we're helping navigate the game of business and life, with a little help from artificial intelligence (AI). AI isn't scary – it's just machines doing smart stuff, like learning and problem-solving. And we harness that to help companies build their dream teams and ensure they work like a well-oiled machine.

But we're not just about businesses. We also assist individuals in plotting their career paths. Imagine us as your career cheat code. Our ultimate goal is for everyone to clock out for the final time, knowing they gave it their all.

While we're all about the cutting-edge AI, we haven't forgotten the value of the human touch. Drawing from my career journey, I bring a wealth of knowledge of businesses, interpersonal communication, and marketing. I've seen the world, learned from the best, and now I strive to use that wisdom for a greater good.

As of June 27, 2023, the journey continues. Let's see where it leads with Your Operating Manual.
