I help Agency Owners, Coaches, and Consultants Join the Top 1% on LinkedIn in 90 Days to Earn High-Ticket Clients | Feat. in Forbes | 500+ clients | 2x D1 Basketball Conference Champion

You’ve built something real.

A company. A career. A reputation that took years to earn.

But even the most accomplished leaders face one problem:

Their story isn’t reaching the people it could impact most.

That’s where I come in.

I help C-suite Executives, Founders, Authors, and Speakers turn their ideas, experiences, and wisdom into growth content that builds authority, trust, and opportunity on LinkedIn.

Before ghostwriting for top leaders, I was behind the scenes too, working 60-hour weeks on a $22,500 salary with UConn Men’s Basketball. 

In 2020, I took a risk, bet on myself, and went all-in on a small Instagram page I was building called Unleash The Knowledge.That single step changed everything.

Five years later, that brand has grown to nearly 200,000 followers, and I now run a multi–six-figure business helping professionals communicate their value online.

Since then, I’ve partnered with 500+ clients, including:

• Rick Ross, Grammy-nominated Rapper
• Jim McKelvey, Co-Founder of Square
• Kara Goldin, Founder of HINT Water
• Terry Virts, NASA Astronaut

Each project has one goal: to help leaders like you articulate the wisdom you’ve earned, and amplify it through powerful storytelling.

If you’re ready to turn your experience into influence, here are three ways to start:

1. Follow me for daily insights on storytelling, strategy, and influence.

2. Get my 30 Free Templates to create client-attracting content in under an hour. (DM me "TEMPLATES")

3. Done-For-You LinkedIn Growth: My team and I handle everything, from strategy to content, so you can grow your audience, authority, and deal flow. (Book A Call Through My Featured Section)

Let’s make your ideas impossible to ignore.

30 days alcohol-free. ✅

I started on December 28th…

Which means I went into New Year’s Eve sober for the first time in my adult life.

Not because I “had to.”

Because I wanted to prove something to myself:

I’m in control.

Not my habits.
Not my environment.
Not the social pressure.
Not the “I’ll start Monday” voice.

And honestly?

This month reminded me of a simple truth:

Confidence isn’t something you think your way into. It’s something you earn by keeping promises to yourself.

Dry January has been a great experiment.
Not for the badge.

But for the identity shift:

“I do what I say I’m going to do.”

If you did Dry January too…
Are you still sticking with it?

I help founders turn LinkedIn into a deal-flow asset through CEO-level positioning + storytelling

This morning’s meeting was with myself.

No laptop.
No notifications.
No AirPods.

Just a black coffee, two eggs, and an old-school diner.

There’s something powerful about choosing absence in a world addicted to presence.

No inputs.
No scrolling.
No urgency to respond.

Just thinking. Not strategizing. Not optimizing.

Most people say they “don’t have time” to slow down.
The truth is they’re afraid of what shows up when the noise turns off.

Clarity doesn’t come from more information.
It comes from space.

Highly recommend taking yourself on a solo date this week.

Leave the phone in your pocket.
Order something simple.
Sit longer than feels productive.
Nurse some black coffee.

The ROI is always higher than expected.

I'm not a natural early morning person.
Especially not on the weekends.
But, yesterday on this past Sunday, I tried something different.

I went on a sunrise hike with a friend I met here in Nashville.

No rush.
No noise.
No pressure to be anywhere else.

Just stillness.

I sat on this ledge, surrounded by trees and light breaking through from the vast distance.

I was reminded how rarely we slow down enough to see what God has already done.

In our lives...
In our relationships...
In the world around us...

For me, you can feel a deep sense of gratitude when your phone isn't buzzing, and when you are in the wilderness.

My friend captured this unique moment with his drone.

It reflects how the morning felt:

Grounded. Quiet. Expansive. Calming. Joyful.

In a world that constantly pulls us toward the next thing, the best therapy isn't another habit, hustle, or productivity hack.

It's stillness.
It's time with God (or the higher power you might believe in)
It's stepping into nature and remembering the beauty, love, and meaning that is already present.

If, and only if, we take the space to notice it.

I will carry this perspective into the week ahead.

I hope you do, too.

My friend at LinkedIn told me something that made the whole platform click.

I was talking to with my fraternity brother, Andrew (who works at LinkedIn) and he shared something most people wouldn't believe:

Even the CEO of LinkedIn barely gets reach + engagement on LinkedIn’s own posts.

Let that sink in.

If the CEO of LinkedIn isn’t “going viral” consistently…

What makes you think your entire strategy should depend on it?

Here’s the truth:

LinkedIn is not a content game.
At least… not solely a content game.

Content is important, but content isn’t the finish line.

It’s the start of the real game.

That’s why I teach this:

- Content is only the spark.
- Conversations are the engine.
- Trust is the currency.

Your post isn’t there to rack up likes.

Your post is there to do one thing:

Start the right conversations with the right people.

Because in B2B… attention is cheap.
But trust is rare.
And trust is what converts.

So if you’re a founder, CEO, or creator using LinkedIn to grow your authority + revenue…

Stop asking:
“Why didn’t my post perform?”

Start asking:
“Who is this post designed to attract… and what conversation should it create next?”

That’s how LinkedIn turns into a pipeline.

Not a vanity metric machine.

If you’ve been playing the algorithm…it might be time to start playing the network.

Curious: are you posting and starting conversations? Or mostly posting and hoping?

If you’re a founder getting LinkedIn engagement but no real conversations, this is for you.

Low engagement isn’t the real problem.
And neither is the algorithm.

The real problem is when your content resonates with the wrong people.

Because then:

– You get likes, but no decision-makers
– DMs feel awkward or forced
– The people who reach out can’t actually buy
– Opportunities feel random instead of predictable

That’s the hidden cost of unclear positioning.

When your content isn’t resonating with the right audience:

• Your authority gets diluted
• Your message gets misunderstood
• Your signal gets lost in noise

Over time, it creates doubt:

“Is LinkedIn even worth it?”
“Am I saying the wrong things?”
“Do people actually understand what I do?”

It’s not a posting problem.
It’s a resonance problem.

Content that works doesn’t try to appeal to everyone.

It repels the wrong audience and attracts the right one.

When the right people resonate:

– Conversations feel natural
– Inbound replaces pitching
– Trust is already built before the call

Visibility without resonance is just noise.

Positioning is what turns attention into opportunity.

Most founders get this wrong on LinkedIn…

They tell.

But they don’t show.

They say they’re strategic.
They say they’re visionary.
They say they build great teams.

But if you have to say it, you haven’t earned it.

Here’s the truth:

Content that converts doesn’t declare value.
It demonstrates it.

Want to show you’re strategic?
Break down how you solved a complex challenge.

Want to show you’re a great leader?
Share how you handled a tough moment with your team.

Want to show you're a category authority?

Teach your audience something they didn’t know before.

In 2026, the founders who win won’t be the loudest.

They’ll be the clearest.

Stop telling. Start showing.

Clients ask me, “how long should my post be?”

Long enough to make the point you want to make.

It’s really that simple.

No need to overcomplicate.

The post can be 7 sentences like this one.

Or 500 words.

Focus on being clear, helpful, and intriguing.

Man... this gets me fired up.

Some people talk.
Some people watch.
Some people do.

I'm a doer.

Which are you?

Last March, I got paid $21,400.

Not because I worked harder.
Not because I put in longer hours.

In fact, it hit me because I used to make roughly the same amount in an entire year while working in college basketball.

Back then:

- 6am lifts
- Film sessions
- Practices, travel, games
- Missing birthdays, holidays, family time
- Constant pressure, zero leverage

And don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for that season.

It built discipline. Grit. Standards.

But the difference now isn’t effort.

It’s where my effort lives.

Today, a single month like that comes from:

- Putting my ideas in public
- Creating work that compounds
- Building trust before conversations happen
- Letting my presence do the heavy lifting

LinkedIn changed everything for me.

Not because it’s a “growth hack.”

But because it rewards clarity, consistency, and contribution.

Founders and C-suite leaders already have:

- The experience
- The stories
- The insight people need

What most don’t have is visibility that matches their value.

If you’re still relying on:

- Closed-door conversations
- Word of mouth alone
- Working harder instead of showing up smarter

You’re leaving leverage on the table.

Your presence is either working for you…
Or you’re working without it.

And I’ve lived both sides.

The choice is yours.

This is what we do.

DM me “DUDE” to ask me about how we can position you as a thought leader on LinkedIn and then turn your profile into a dealflow asset.

Or find a time on my calendar through the link in my featured section.

February spots are already almost full.

Working with smart people is great.
But it is not enough.

Because intelligence can solve problems.
But humility and kindness build cultures where problems don’t have to exist in the first place.

Here’s why it matters so much 👇

Kind and humble people:

They make collaboration effortless.
You don’t waste energy defending ideas or egos. 
You build together - faster, cleaner, and with more trust.

They create psychological safety.
When people feel respected, they speak up, share bold ideas, 
and admit mistakes early. 
That’s how teams innovate and grow.

They inspire long-term loyalty.
People don’t leave companies - they leave toxic dynamics. 
Working with grounded, genuine teammates keeps great talent around.

 Ways to practice kindness and humility at work:

Listen more than you talk.
You don’t need to have the loudest voice to have the strongest impact. 
Listening builds connection and earns respect.

Give credit - generously.
Acknowledging others’ work doesn’t diminish your own. 
It multiplies the trust and energy in your team.

Keep learning.
The moment you think you’ve “arrived,” you stop growing. 
Stay curious, stay open, and never let success make you unapproachable.

Kind people build strong teams.
Strong teams create big results.

If your job costs you your peace,
it’s too expensive.

You deserve a job that lets you sleep peacefully at night -
not one that keeps you awake questioning your worth, your future, or your sanity.

A healthy career doesn’t rely on:

 ❌ burnout
 ❌ constant anxiety
 ❌ toxic expectations

A healthy career is built on:

 ✔️ clear boundaries
 ✔️ supportive leadership
 ✔️ meaningful work
 ✔️ respect for your time and well-being

Your job should challenge you - not drain you.

It should grow you - not break you.

And it should fit into your life, not become your life.

If your work steals your peace, it’s costing you more than it pays.

Funny how your brain has unlimited energy
for worst-case scenarios.

It can write entire disaster scripts at 3 a.m.
With dialogue.
With consequences.
With a soundtrack.

But ask it to imagine things going well
and suddenly it needs evidence, references, and a peer review.

That’s not intuition.
That’s anxiety pretending to be preparation.

You don’t need to stop overthinking.
You just need to stop letting it bully you into pessimism only.

If your mind insists on spiraling,
at least make it spiral in both directions.

Same brain.
Different hypothesis.

Reality:
A small, ordinary action.

LinkedIn:
A “high-impact initiative” with “key learnings” and “next steps.”

Clear communication beats inflated language.
Strong professionals don’t need to oversell normal work.

Say what you did.
Say why it mattered.
Move on.

Clarity builds trust faster than buzzwords.

It’s not about collecting business cards or follower counts.

It’s about building bridges with people who get it - who challenge you, inspire you, and open doors you didn’t know existed.

The right network doesn’t just grow your career - it expands your mindset, your confidence, and your opportunities.

Here are 12 ways to build powerful, authentic connections:

1️⃣ Lead with curiosity. Ask, don’t pitch. People love being seen and heard.

2️⃣ Add value first. Share insights, introductions, or encouragement before asking for anything.

3️⃣ Show up consistently. Comment, engage, and participate where your industry hangs out.

4️⃣ Find your communities. Join professional groups, Slack channels, or niche forums.

5️⃣ Attend events strategically. Go where your next mentor, collaborator, or client might actually be.

6️⃣ Follow up. A short, thoughtful message can turn a conversation into a relationship.

7️⃣ Be generous with your expertise. Give more than you take - it builds reputation fast.

8️⃣ Don’t chase status. The best opportunities often come from peers, not big titles.

9️⃣ Stay authentic. Pretending to be someone you’re not is the fastest way to disconnect.

1️⃣0️⃣ Keep it human. Share stories, not sales pitches.

1️⃣1️⃣ Support others publicly. Celebrate others’ wins - it builds goodwill that lasts.

1️⃣2️⃣ Play the long game. Relationships compound like interest; nurture them with time.

The truth? You’re one conversation away from a completely different path.

The advice I wish I could’ve given myself 8 years ago:

Create a culture people never want to leave.

Yes, you can’t keep everyone with a 0% turnover rate. 
Let’s face it.

But what you can do is build an environment people don’t want to walk away from.

Build a culture that makes employees:

↳ Recommend it to their friends as the dream job, 
↳ Stay, even if the paycheck isn't perfect yet, 
↳ Come back when the conditions are right.

Think about it:

👉 A competitive paycheck might keep someone for a while, 
But a toxic culture will drive them away for good.

👉 You can offer all the perks, but if the culture is unhealthy, 
Nothing will make your best people stick around.

People stay where they feel valued.

It’s not just about the money—it’s about creating a workplace 
that makes people excited to show up every day.

Small habit.
Big impact.

The way you speak to yourself
every morning
becomes your baseline.

Speak growth.
Speak calm.
Speak possibility.

It adds up.

“Hire the people that…”

Interesting how the list skips:
– constant availability
– performative hustle
– being the loudest voice
– working 24/7 for optics

Great teams grow from maturity, not heroics.
From people who communicate clearly, take ownership, and move in sync.

Ego slows teams down.
Trust speeds them up.
Psychological safety keeps the work moving.

Hire for reliability and collaboration first.
Everything else gets easier after that.

Nobody talks about this part enough.

You can do it tired.
You can do it frustrated.
You can do it unsure.

You just can’t do it if you quit.

Keep going.

Here’s a hard truth most people avoid:

If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not moving forward.

I learned this the slow way.

Early on, I tried to get everything right.
Perfect plan.
Perfect timing.
Perfect execution.

And progress?
Basically stalled.

Things only changed when I gave myself permission to be wrong.

To test ideas that might flop.
To ship work that wasn’t perfect.
To learn out loud instead of waiting in silence.

Mistakes aren’t failure.
They’re feedback.

The people doing the most interesting work
aren’t avoiding mistakes.

They’re just willing to make them faster.

Safe paths feel good.
But they don’t teach much.

Growth always comes with friction.
That’s the price of trying something new.

Marketing is great they said…


P.S. If you write emails and you’re looking for inspiration, check out:

inboox.ai

“It wasn’t a waste of time if you learned something.”

That’s easy to agree with in theory.
Harder when the lesson came with lost money, bruised confidence, or a year you won’t get back.

Still - experience has a way of paying later.

It sharpens your instincts.
It changes what you tolerate.
It shortens the gap between seeing a red flag and acting on it.

Not every chapter produces visible wins.
Some exist to quietly upgrade your judgment.

And that upgrade shows up in every decision after.

10 years of rejection.

That's how long Squid Game's creator spent pitching his script.

Studio after studio said no.
Too dark. Too violent. Won't work.

Then Netflix took a chance.

28 days later, it became their most-watched show in history.

A decade of "no" turned into a $900M yes.

Most people quit after a few rejections.
They assume the silence means the idea is bad.

But rejection isn't a verdict.
It's just timing.

The right opportunity doesn't always show up first.
Sometimes it shows up tenth. Or hundredth.

If you're getting rejected right now, consider this:

You might not be wrong.
You might just be early.

Keep going.

How to survive marketing in 2026.

Open your laptop.
Check Slack.
Three notifications in…

…and you already feel behind.

Sound familiar?

In 2026, “digital marketer” doesn’t mean one role anymore.
It means the entire agency in one tab.

Copywriter.
Strategist.
Videographer.
Social media manager.
Designer.
Editor.
Analyst.

All before lunch.

From experience, the problem isn’t a lack of skill.
It’s the expectation that one person can do everything at once and do it well.

Burnout doesn’t come from hard work.
It comes from an impossible scope.

The marketers who survive aren’t the busiest.
They’re the ones who set boundaries, prioritize ruthlessly, and stop trying to be great at everything every day.

Because marketing isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing the right things consistently.

Agree?

Most marketers track a ton of metrics.

Very few know which ones actually matter.

Here are 7 worth paying attention to, plus how to improve each one:

(bookmark this)

Our email domains kept getting blacklisted at my agency.

Everyone assumed we were sending too aggressively.

After diving into the data, we found the real issue.

18% bounce rate.
From a "verified" list.

We had bad data.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁:

Deals lost during 2-3 weeks of rebuilding.
Hours spent verifying and cleaning lists.
Teams questioning their skills when it's not their fault.
Buying new domains every month.

We thought this was just how outbound worked.

Then I saw a friend's company sending thousands of emails each week.
Same domains. Month after month.
Strong deliverability maintained.

They were using Prospeo.io's data.

SMTP handshakes verify emails before you send.
BounceBan removes risky addresses automatically.
Weekly updates catch job changes that kill domains.

After testing several providers, Prospeo consistently delivered the cleanest data.

Our domains have been going steady for months now.
Data prep time cut by 80%.
Bounce rates dropped from 18% to under 2%.

Clean data isn't just about deliverability.
It's about keeping your team confident and productive.

What hidden costs is bad data creating at your agency?

I used to think GTM complexity was just part of the job.

Multiple tools. Manual handoffs. Workflows that took hours to build and days to fix.

Last week I tested Apollo's AI Assistant on something different: workflow creation.

Instead of clicking through menus and configuring triggers manually, I just described what I wanted in plain English.

The AI built the multi-step workflow in minutes.

What used to require:
→ A GTM engineer
→ Multiple tools stitched together
→ Hours of setup and testing

Now happens in a single conversation.

Same thing with building prospect lists, creating sequences, or analyzing campaign performance. Describe what you need. The AI handles the execution.

Most teams are still doing GTM the old way. Clicking through settings, connecting triggers, testing each step manually.

Meanwhile, the fastest operators are just talking to the AI.

GTM shouldn't require an engineering degree.
It should require clear thinking and the right tools.
