Grow your investment boutique 📈 Founder / CEO @ Havener ⭐ $30B AUM for boutiques w/ The Billion Dollar Blueprint™ 💲 Story-led sales & marketing for founders, fund mgrs, and teams 🎤 Speaker ▪ Podcast Host

Hi, I’m Stacy - a blue-collar girl from the Berkshires who turned a way with words and love of numbers into a business that has raised billions for boutique asset managers.
 
I’ve raised $8B+ for new/undiscovered funds that led to $30B+ in follow-on AUM.

Being a female founder in the male-dominated investment industry at the age of 30 required a huge leap of faith in connecting two tribes: talented boutique asset managers and early adopter investors.

The leap of faith was spot on. 

10+ years later, Havener Capital Partners leads the industry in helping investment boutiques grow. We help clients in three ways: (1) Embedded as part of your sales and marketing team (2) Consulting on sales and marketing efforts with you (3) Coaching you and your team in our membership community

Whether it’s consulting and masterminds, expanding sales and marketing capabilities, or connecting to our network of RIAs and family offices, clients benefit from an expert team and a time-tested framework that has raised billions for boutiques.

If I can be of assistance, please reach out at stacy@havenercapital.com

A little more about me: 

I’m obsessed with all things old school – hip-hop music, classic cars, craft cocktails and vintage furniture. My best lessons in life were learned on the soccer field where I went from picking flowers at the age of 9, to playing on all-boy teams, to becoming an Academic All-American in college. 

Most days you will find me at our office in the city-by-the sea, Newport, RI, sitting next to my reggae-loving husband (who is also my business partner), with a Dunkin Donuts coffee in my hand, and our rescue pitbull at my feet. In addition to building a business together, Erik and I are raising a daughter which is by far my favorite adventure. 

At the heart of it all, there is one thing I believe in – underdogs. Doesn’t matter who we are or what industry we are in, we all start from the bottom; we have all been underdogs. This rebel spirit fuels me every day.

Stacy Havener

Started the year at $400 million, now? $1.9 billion. And a heart of gold from Day 1. 

These flowers are for Sean Peche 

His success in building Ranmore is impressive and inspiring

But the true inspiration is who he is as a person, friend, and leader

If you have met Sean and his team, you know they are special

This year has been a breakout year for Ranmore as AUM crossed the $1 billion dollar mark (and counting, currently at $1.9 billion)

-- Have they got a differentiated portfolio, yes 

-- Have they got the performance, yep

-- But they have something more

Heart
Passion 
Kindness

And while performance and process and portfolio matter a lot

The people matter most

We got together yesterday to celebrate Sean

How he has built his business with an incredible team 

And how he lives his life as an incredible person

- Owning his roots and his heritage
- Helping people who really need it

- Believing when others don't 
- Showing up when others won't 

Sean is an inspiration 

And as we talked about yesterday at lunch
"You can't be what you can't see"

In order for people to believe they can do something, they need to see someone else doing it

We need to see someone like us achieving that same success 

For every boutique who is on the path 

For every founder / fund manager who has a dream

See Sean Peche 

You can do this
We can do this

Congrats Ranmore and Sean
These flowers are for you 💐
Thank you for all you do

Spoke on a panel with two friends yesterday… and left with many more. 🥰

Honored to join fellow boutique champions James Lindsay and Dani Hristova for a powerful conversation at AIMSE Europe Limited.

We dug into the landscape for specialist managers:
what’s good, what’s tough,
and what we can *actually* do about it.

Here were a few themes that hit home:

---

1️⃣ Resist the temptation to hide

Boutiques often hide when markets get rocky.
We shrink. We stay quiet. We wait for “better times.”

But hiding is a bad plan.

Because our uniqueness is the thing allocators remember.
Our edges, our insights, our craft.

It's how we do in tough markets, yes, and also how we show up.
How we own mistakes and headwinds and struggle.

Use our voice consistently in good/bad times, not conveniently when all is rainbows and unicorns.

---

2️⃣ Hold space with confidence

Allocators aren’t trying to build a lineup of samesies.
They’re building portfolios of complements.

That means there is often a seat at the table for us.

For differentiated thinkers
For specialists
For boutiques

But we have to hold our space.
Not with bravado.
With presence.

A quiet, grounded confidence that says:
We know who we are. 
We know what we do. 
We know the value our strategy brings to a portfolio.

Complement > Compete

---

3️⃣ Don’t change… and also, change

(This was one of my favorite moments from the panel. 😂)

Because it’s the nuance we never talk about:

✔️ Don’t change the essence—the thing that makes us special, distinct, compelling.

✔️ But do change the strategies, tactics, or approaches that no longer serve us.

Maybe those tactics weren’t ever meant for us.
Maybe they worked for “everyone else”… but not for specialists like us.
Maybe we’re meant to lead with something different...

because we authentically are. ❤️

Boutiques grow when they stay anchored in their uniqueness
and unafraid to evolve everything around it.

---

Grateful for the panel.
Grateful for the room.
Grateful for this community building the future of active management.

Lucky and honored to be a part of it

💐

My friends at a $10B fam office are my London lifeline (and British decoder ring). I underestimated something kind of big.

Yesterday, we talked about entrepreneurial spirit and growth mindset...

*Is this easier to tap into for Americans than the British?*

🤔

Many brilliant people struggle to tap into their entrepreneurial spirit.

Not because they lack ideas.
Not because they lack ambition.

But because they’ve been conditioned to believe:

- Growth should feel safe.
- Investing in yourself is risky.
- And if you stretch… you’ll be confronted, not supported.

(That word confronted is sticking with me as it's the opposite of what our clients feel.)

Entrepreneurial spirit isn’t a personality trait.

It’s a muscle.
One that anyone can build.

Here are 3 ways we can start tapping into it:

---

1️⃣ Make a micro-bet on ourselves

Not a moonshot.
Not a quit-your-job-jump-without-a-parachute bet.
A micro one.
The kind that expands our identity without collapsing our nervous system.

Sign up for a workshop

Launch a tiny pilot

Test an idea with 3 trusted people

Micro bets → micro wins → macro confidence.

---

2️⃣ Trade perfection for iteration

Entrepreneurs don’t wait for the perfect plan.

We take the next step.

Ship.
Learn.
Adjust.
Repeat.

When we stop insisting “I must be ready" before I make a move, we start discovering “I can figure this out” now while I move.

---

3️⃣ Surround ourselves with people who believe in growth

Environment is everything.

We rise in rooms where:

- Investing in growth is normal

- Stretching is celebrated

- Support replaces scrutiny

Progress > perfection

Entrepreneurial spirit is contagious, yes, but only in the right company.

---

Here's my promise to you:

Growth is worth investing in.
And it doesn’t have to feel painful.

It can feel supported.
It can feel expansive.

It can feel like the moment we finally remember who we’ve been all along.

(That last one 🙌)

👉 If this resonated, I’d love to hear which of these 3 help you tap into a growth mindset? 

And of course I am here for any additional learnings on American // British culture and personality nuances

PS I am your biggest fan. ❤️

If you are going to AIMSE today in London, see you there! 

(Entrepreneurial spirit will be a vibe.)

"Traditions aren't about adding more to your busy schedule, but filling it intentionally."

That quote hits after a weekend of Thanksgiving and traditions.

The word "Intentional" gives things a different spin tho. A more heart-filled spin. More weight attached to even the lighter things we do. 

Here are a few of mine:

Is it even Thanksgiving if we don't... 

-- Start the day with a 3.1 mile "Pie Run"

-- Screw up at least 1 recipe 

(this year it was the pumpkin pie for me, made it twice if I'm honest) 😬

-- Have a dance party in the kitchen

-- Watch Christmas movies, drink red wine, and cry 😭 🥰

Those things could be happenstance
But I think they are intentional

Traditions don't always have to be shiny fancy sparkly
or highly starched tight collared stuffy

Sometimes they are messy and cozy and comfortable 

And those moments are some of the best.

My heart is full of gratitude going into the 49th week of the year.

Here's to more intention.

Your turn. 

👉 Add to the list! Is it even the holidays if we don't... 

(🥧 pie run over the years 📷)

"Don't look back - you aren't going that way." I disagree. Look back.
(Also important to look right 😘)

Play the way you are facing. 
Yes. ⚽
Plan forward. 
Yes. 📈

*And measure backwards.*

That’s the look back we need.

Because high achievers hit a goal and then we move the goal post on ourselves, don't we?

Next milestone.
Next level.
Next goal.

Between now and next there is a gap. We can get stuck there.

Measuring backwards is the breakout of that gap.

It's the gain - measuring how far we’ve come.

That’s confidence.
And we need to protect it.

Here are 3 ways to measure backwards ⬇️

1. Reflect in milestones, not miles.

Think back to the beginning of the year: where were you on key goals then vs now?

Go back 3 years: what problems or goals felt big then that you've checked off the list?

Progress compounds quietly.

2. Revisit your firsts.

The first client.
The first hire.
The first pitch that worked.

Remember when this version of normal was just a dream?

3. Re-read your own receipts.

Testimonials.
Notes from clients.
Screenshots of kind words.
Proof that your work is working.

Progress hides in plain sight.
We just forget to turn around and see it.

So before year end take time to look back.
Measure backwards.

We've come a long way, Friends. 

👉 Which of the 3 look backs are you vibing with?

I missed a big opportunity in our London expansion. Obvious, even.

UK fund managers want access to the US market. 

(Ohhhh - why didn't you just tell me! 😉)

We have been helping London-based fund houses sharpen their story,
build a narrative that moves investors,
embrace behavioral-finance-based sales strategies,
and leverage LinkedIn to grow.

I overlooked a foundational element, target market.

The outcome many UK boutiques want most?

Access to U.S. investors.

When I came to London this trip, I was struggling a bit with our offer, I decided to ask a point blank question

What do you want? 
Really. Tell me. 

And slowly but surely it answers started to make sense

On our AIMSE panel, Dani Hristova said how tough the UK market is for boutiques.

Conversations with fund managers and C-suite execs who point blank said, we want access to the US.

And me, v not Captain Obvious, saying: riiiiight, I get it (now)
🤦‍♀️

Because here’s the reality:

🇬🇧 It’s getting more difficult to grow in the UK.
Pension and wealth channels are 
consolidating.
Family offices are tough to crack.
Launching a boutique is still incredibly challenging.

And yet…

🇺🇸 The grass is greener in the U.S.
Not because it’s easy.
But because it’s *possible*.

Here are 3 reasons the U.S. market is a fit for non-U.S. managers:

1️⃣ Access to a broader, more diverse allocator ecosystem

Pension funds, endowments, foundations, consultants, multi-family offices, RIAs: the U.S. has depth and diversity that gives boutiques room to find their people.

2️⃣ A culture that rewards specialization

U.S. investors actively seek differentiated shops.
Story, narrative, and edge matter here, especially for boutiques who know who they are.

3️⃣ A more open door for global perspectives

Many allocators want outside-the-U.S. ideas: new geographies, new frameworks, new edges.

Being non-U.S. is an advantage.

The wild part?

This opportunity has been in front of us the whole time... and I nearly missed it.

So now, we’re leaning in. 

👉 Did I get it? What else am I missing? What is in the way of US  distribution?

I overheard a fund salesperson throwing shade at a conference.
Plot twist...

It was said about a multi-billion allocator (which is bizarro bc Hi, that's a dream client for you but ok)

The salesperson was ragging on the fact that this allocator posts on LinkedIn and has a newsletter.

(let's insert crickets chirping so we can process the absurdity for a minute)

Now, let's count the ways this is wrong.

1. If I heard them talking smack, others did too. It's not a good look generally. Call me pollyannic but nobody got time for negativity and nastiness. 

2. Shade is often a big glass of hater-ade in disguise. Whenever we feel jealousy or envy towards someone, it's actually a clue that we may want something they have. 

3. LinkedIn is right here for all of us. For free. And if you are still sleeping on its power, that's a you problem. There's a whole crew of us that got the memo and are making it count. 

(that's just 3 things but please add to the list bc there's so much more wrong and missing)

---

If you think (secretly or overtly) that LinkedIn and building a personal brand is "arrogant," I am going to politely suggest, in the words of Ice Cube, that you check yourself before you wreck yourself.

It's not arrogance to be sharing our thoughts authentically... 

it's ignorance not to.

👉 What would you add to the list of wrongs or what would you advise this shade thrower to consider?

=

+ In finance? Wondering if LinkedIn could help you build a brand (and a business)? We got you (and yes, it can)

+ Dec 12 workshop with Anna. No shade shall be thrown. See you there!

Growth unlocks hide in unlikely places. (This $1 billion backstory starts with a box in the garage.)

Check it:

$1 billion raised in 3 years.
For a new fund.
From a base of $1 million of the founder's own money.

No track record? 
No data?
No problem.

A new strategy and a new vehicle launched by an existing founder-led $4B hedge fund.

My mandate was the launch of this new fund and most of the firm was super skeptical about.

(like massive eye roll)

I wasn't. I was confident and I went right for the goods.

The founder's words.

A box of old letters
Commentaries over the years 

When I think back to my most successful capital raise, the thing that moved allocators wasn't the performance or the pitch deck.

It was decades of investor letters that were pulled into a collection.
Sitting in the founder's garage in a water logged box.
Yellowed pages.
Coffee stains.

The letters gave a glimpse:

-- Good times and bad times.
-- How they thought through the '08 crisis.
-- How they positioned when everyone else panicked.
-- What they saw that others missed.

The letters were gold.

Because here's what we forget:

Capital raising isn't about investing in numbers.
It's about investing in the people who generate those results.

How they think differently.
What they see that others don't.
What they do that others won't.

The allocators who took a chance on this new fund weren't buying a bulletproof process.
They were buying beautiful minds.

A way of thinking that had weathered decades.
A perspective that had been pressure-tested.
A voice that stayed consistent and edgy when markets went mad.

We spend so much time perfecting our pitch decks.
Polishing our performance charts.

But the real differentiator?

It's in how we think.
How we communicate that thinking.
How we've thought through problems over time.

That founder didn't just have returns.
He had receipts.

Proof of how his mind worked.
Evidence of his decision-making.
A paper trail of his principles.

And that's what moved the money.

Not the numbers.
The narrative behind them.

So before you update that deck for the 47th time
Before you add another shade of blue into the chart of those performance metrics 😘

Ask yourself:

Are you showing them the numbers
Or are you showing them the mind behind them? 

Because investors don't back businesses.
They back the brains that build them.
The people with the beautiful minds.
You. ❤️

6 little lies we tell ourselves as boutique fund managers


1. Investors will find me.

They are busy. They don't have time to search for you. 


2. It will only take 6 months to fundraise.

Double or triple expectations. 12 - 18 months average due diligence cycle. 


3. Large allocators will give us a small percentage.

They can't. It's not worth their time and energy to make 100s of small allocations. 


4. I can skip the marketing costs now and do it later.

If we don't market now, there may not be a later.


5. This cheap fix will last until I can replace it with something better. 

We get what we pay for. Cheap fixes break and then we have to fix them ... which is expensive. 


6. Once I hit $X, I will be able to relax. 

Bc markets move, bc clients need hand holding, bc people redeem, bc as high achievers we keep striving for more. 

👉 Which one of these hits hardest??

📌 I will be breaking 2 of these down for the next 3 weeks in beach walk and talks.

"There are a lot of people in navy suits with red ties that command attention who are saying jack sh!*."

Is executive presence overrated and broken? Even the definition is unclear.

(Related to personal brand but not quite the same IMO)

Brene Brown and Adam Grant have been challenging the idea of executive presence. 

It's grab your popcorn and your notebook good. 

It's an important debate this idea of exec presence being overrated.

I still believe our exec presence, our brand, is important.

The construct is hellabroken but... As execs and founders and leaders we still need it. 

We need to redefine it.

Here's another Brene Brown quote:

"Executive presence is a prescriptive way of defining what a leader looks like and sounds like when often it is the quiet 'nerd' in the meeting who often has the best answers."

This hit hard for me especially in my work in finance and investments. 

BUT

We can't stay hidden and hope someone sees us.

We can't stay hidden and hope clients find our business or fund. 

We can't stay hidden and hope to grow in our careers.

Hidden and hopeful is not going to get it done.

Even if the quiet hidden hopeful ones often have the chops intellectually, they often lack em socially.

And that's ok. That's normal.

If we own where we are and build a plan to address where we want to go. 

It's on us to break the old mold of exec presence, redefine it, and build it with intention. 

My version includes dance circles as pitch practice. 🤷‍♀️

👉 Curious what you think about exec presence. Overrated and useless or poorly defined and important or somewhere in between?

And

🎧 Highly recommend listening to them on a pod or vid btw. Will throw some resources in below.

Want to create urgency in your sales funnel? 
(Steal this framework.)

It's based on the age old classic sales narrative from a Harvard professor of the drill and the hole in the wall. 

First, let's back up. 

A well-crafted narrative moves people to do something.

But before people will do something they need to feel something. 

So to catalyze people on our funnel to take action, we need to make them feel something first. 

Framework: What How Why 

What is the product or service
How is the action it delivers
Why is the result it creates

Get clear on that for your target client

Then

Invert it

For maximum impact

Urgency comes from the feeling we create. 

Hearmenow: The. Feeling.

(yes, even in investment biz dev we all up in the feelings here my friends)

-- We don't buy a drill
-- We don't even buy the hole in the wall 
-- We buy the peaceful beautiful feeling we have from the art we hang on said wall

Feel something => Do something

👉 How else can we tap into feelings in sales and biz dev??

Havener + Marmite. Behind the scenes with a client 

(and flowers to an allocator friend)

Marmite. You either love it or you hate it.

This is what my friend Simon Evan-Cook told me in one of our first chats. 

He explained that this is the type of fund managers he likes to see. People who have strong beliefs and high convictions and aren't afraid to attract and repel. 

Many of our fund clients at Havener are marmite.

One of them is British. 

He loves marmite. Specifically twiglets. 

(Stay with me bc this American girl was v lost too) 😂

So at one of our events a few years ago, Jonathan brought twiglets. 

And we made a video of a few of us tasting these bitter little snacks at the Castle Hill Inn Summit by the Sea.

I won't spoil the results of this experiment but I will say...

I get it. I get why Marmite is a good metaphor for managers who think differently and bravely. 

-- Whether you like Marmite or not, maybe you like managers who aren't afraid to take a stance and go against consensus. 

-- Maybe you think emerging markets are having a moment and want to hear from someone whose been investing in them for 20 years. 

If that's you, join me for a chat with Jonathan Binder next week. 

It will be fun. 

BYOM. (Bring your own marmite. Or gin as the case may be. No judgement here)

👉 Are you thumbs up or down on Marmite? Twiglets? 

💐 To our great allocator friends and clients. You remind me why I love my job. ❤️

1 move has 3Xd quality and quantity of prospect meetings for our clients
(Do it from your desk)

(Literally "from the desk of..." is the vibe)

1/ Prep before we play

- Tier your funnel
- Identify your faves
- Regardless of stage
- Your A Team like 20ish 

Faves = prospects you would *love* to have as clients

Like run thru a wall to have them bc they are ideal clients for you

(ideal doesn't just mean big $$$ aum btw)

2/ In addition to your newsletter that goes to everyone on the funnel and distribution list

Fund managers write a custom note ad hoc to Tier 1 prospects

3/ "From the desk of" 
As in it is sent by the fund manager (not the salesperson)

-- Thoughts on the market
-- Updates on a position 
-- Developments on the biz side

Think of what you would write to your internal team

Adapt it for Tier 1 prospects externally 

Do this with no ask of them
It's a give 💐

4/ When you're ready to build a trip, reach out to them as anchor meetings.

Watch your meeting calendar fill with meetings so good you'd drag your suitcase down the street in the snow for 'em 

🙌

💡 Why does it work?
Science of human behavior

People like to feel special

We have a fundamental need to feel valued and unique

And in typical sales that's watered down mass everything (even more so with AI) human-first actions like this stand out.

👉 I am not saying AI isn't cool, but outsourcing the special bits is a mistake. Feel me?

PS these are the types of campaigns we create for clients to help them get more meetings with better prospects

Most people write LinkedIn posts the wrong way.

That’s why they never blow up.

So Norbert and I decided to fix that.

We broke down the exact formula.
→ The same one top creators use.

The same formula even if you have zero followers.

→ The truth is, virality isn’t luck → It’s a formula.

Most people overthink. → We don’t.

We stripped it down to what matters:
→ A hook that stops the scroll.
→ A structure that keeps them reading.
→ A CTA or/and CTE that forces engagement.

It’s all inside this carousel.

Just the exact steps to write posts:
→ that get seen, shared, and engaged.

→ Swipe → Learn → Apply

When your next post pops?
→ You’ll know exactly why.

Perfect grammar.
Zero personality.

It’s giving “corporate diary entry.”

Here’s the thing though.

People think that’s how you grow on LinkedIn.
But no one connects with perfection.
They connect with presence.

And that’s where everyone messes up.

They use AI to write what they think people want to hear,
instead of saying what people actually feel.

So they end up with posts that get likes…
but no DMs.
Views…
but no trust.
Noise…
but no connection.

LinkedIn in 2025 isn’t about automation?.
It’s about staying visible and credible, where it matters.

Because no one’s replying to your cold outreach anymore.
They’re engaging with the voices that feel human.

That’s where Taplio.com saves your sanity.

→ Taplio helps you build your LinkedIn pipeline the smart way.
→ You can write your own posts or get a hand from AI that actually sounds like a person.
→ You can plan and schedule everything for the month,
so you’re not staring at a blank screen thinking, “Ah, bugger it, I’ll post tomorrow.”
→ It shows you where your ideal clients are already talking, so you can jump in with purpose.
→ And when someone likes or comments on your post,
Taplio helps you slide into the DMs without sounding like you’re selling used cars.

It’s how you grow on LinkedIn without turning into a corporate robot trying to sound relatable.

Keep it human.
Keep it clever.
Keep it you.

And a little heads-up, at the end of November, Taplio’s Black Friday offer is coming.

30% off all plans.
Available for new users only.
Valid for six months.
Running Nov 28 – Dec 5 (11:59PM) - code dropping soon.

If you’ve been waiting for a reason to show up stronger on LinkedIn, that’s your sign.

Most people spend hours writing a LinkedIn post.

I used to as well... now it takes me less than five minutes.

If you create content for a living
Or you are building a brand
You know the pain.

Blank screen.
Zero inspiration.
Coffee doing absolutely nothing.

Well
I found something that actually helps.

It is called Scripe
And it literally turned my content stress into a five minute thing.

Let me explain before you roll your eyes.

You just open the site.
Hit Create Post.
And boom, you are already halfway done.

Then you dump your messy thoughts.
All of them.
Write like you talk.
Or use the voice feature like the busy queen you are.

Next step is where the magic hits.
Scripe gives you a full spread of hooks.
Short. Sharp. Viral potential.
You choose the one that packs the punch.

Then Scripe builds the whole post for you.
In seconds.
Yes seconds.

All you do is polish it
Add your vibe
Your tone
Your sparkle.

And suddenly your post is clean.
Structured.
Scroll stopping.
And ready to publish right from the dashboard.

The part I love most.
You can track your performance inside Scripe.
See what works.
See what tanks.
Repeat the wins.

This is how I keep my content consistent
Without losing my mind
Or my time
Or my weekends.

Content creation does not need to be painful.
It just needs the right tool.

Erase every follower I have and I’d still hit 40K by June.

Because AI makes growing faster today than when I first started.

Most people think growing an audience is about talent.
Or luck.
Or having that one viral moment that magically changes everything.
But the truth is quieter.
And a lot more predictable.

The reason most people stay stuck is simple.
They post without a plan.
They engage without intention.
And they create content that feels like a guessing game
instead of a strategy.

Your audience is not built by accident.
It is built by rhythm.
By patterns.
By emotional repetition.
By giving people a reason to stay long before you ask them to act.

That is why I follow a few simple steps
the same ones I would trust if I had to start again tomorrow.

They give clarity
instead of chaos.
Focus
instead of noise.
And momentum
instead of random guesses.

And yes
Taplio is the tool I lean on to keep those steps tight and consistent.
Not to make things easier
but to make things smarter.

And since it’s Black Friday… 
this is literally the only week where starting smart comes with a discount.

Taplio just dropped a deal that feels like stealing:

BF30 → 30% off
Every plan
Every month
For six months
New users only
Nov 28–Dec 5 (11:59PM)

Thirty percent off for half a year?
If I was rebuilding from zero… I wouldn’t walk.
I’d run.

Here’s the link:
https://lnkd.in/dCPGND3K 

Swipe the carousel to see the exact flow
how I turn curiosity into content,
content into connection,
and connection into growth that actually sticks.

It’s the same approach I’d use if I had to rebuild from nothing.

Because real growth is not loud.
It is consistent.
It is strategic.
And it shows up long before the followers do.

P.S What part of audience building feels the hardest for you right now?

Taplio x Arfa

People say “AI is overrated.”
Which is exactly what you say when you haven’t realized you’re still doing 10x the work for half the results.

And once you use it… you’ll wonder how you survived without it.

We’re all doing the juggle.
Clients.
Emails.
Deliverables.
And whatever life throws at us before 10am.
So anything that saves time instantly becomes a national treasure.

This is exactly why AI isn’t “nice to have” anymore.
It’s survival.
It’s leverage.
It’s your new unfair advantage if you’re smart about it.

So here’s my AI besties with superpowers.
Save them for the days you need your workload cut in half…
and your brilliance turned all the way up.

ChatGPT
↳ for deep research and strategy thinking

Gamma
↳ for creating stunning presentations without the stress

Midjourney
↳ for scroll-stopping images and visual magic

Taplio.com
↳ for smart commenting and staying visible on LinkedIn

Lovable
↳ for building digital products and creative assets fast

Synthesia
↳ for producing pro-quality videos in minutes

Replit
↳ for creating AI apps and automations that save your time

Scripe
↳ for finding viral posts and spotting content trends

Notion
↳ for organising your entire workspace like a boss

These tools don’t replace you.
They amplify you.
They protect your time.
They free your brain.
They let you operate at a level that feels almost unfair.

And the girlies who win?
They use AI quietly.
Strategically.
Like a secret weapon that keeps their week tight, calm and wildly productive…
while everyone else is drowning in tabs, tasks and overwhelm.

The future won’t belong to the hardest workers.
It’ll belong to the smartest ones.
And right now, AI is the smartest partner you can bring into your business.

P.S Which AI tool is your secret weapon right now?

Your LinkedIn profile is losing people’s trust.

(A weak profile tells a weak story.)

When your profile looks messy or incomplete:

❌ People think you’re not serious.
❌ They wonder if they can trust you.
❌ They’ll move on to someone else.

But when done right, your LinkedIn profile can:

✔ Attract the right opportunities.
✔ Showcase your expertise.
✔ Build instant credibility.

Your LinkedIn profile is your online reputation.
If it’s weak, people will walk away.
 
Here’s how to fix it step by step:

1. Fix Your Banner.
↳ Don’t leave it blank.
↳ Add your logo or a simple message.
↳ Keep it clean and professional.

2. Upgrade Your Profile Picture.
↳ No blurry selfies or group photos.
↳ Use a high-quality, friendly photo.
↳ Smile and look confident.

3. Write a Strong Headline.
↳ Your headline is more than a job title.
↳ Show who you help and what you do.
↳ Make it about your audience, not you.

4. Rewrite Your About Section.
↳ Don’t talk only about yourself.
↳ Focus on how you help people.
↳ Use bullet points to make it easy to read.
↳ Add a call-to-action 

5. Featured Section: 
↳ Highlight your best work and achievements.
 
6. Get Recommendations.
↳ Ask clients or coworkers for testimonials.
↳ Good reviews build instant trust.
↳ Start small, ask one person today.

7. Add a Custom Button.
↳ If you use LinkedIn Premium, don’t skip this.
↳ Link to your website, services, or portfolio.
↳ Make it easy for people to reach you.

Every section of your profile matters.
Every detail on your profile sends a message.

An incomplete profile is like 
Showing up to an interview in your pajamas.
 
It’s time to polish it up and make it work for you.
Your LinkedIn can open doors you didn’t even know existed.

P.S What’s the first thing you’ll update? 👇

Somewhere out there, an AI just gave a better performance than I ever did on camera.

And you know what? I’m oddly okay with that.

Because for years, AI avatars looked like stiff news anchors reading the world’s most boring teleprompter.
No movement.
No spark.
Just a frozen smile and the emotional range of a stapler.

But Synthesia just flipped the script.

You just type a script, pick an avatar, hit generate and boom.
You’ve got a professional video that looks like it took a whole crew.

And just when we thought that was as far as AI could go, they dropped a twist.
Avatars that actually move in 3D space.
They walk. 
They gesture. 
They have presence.

Oh, and the best part?
You can create a fully customized avatar of yourself.
Your voice. 
Your likeness. 
Your brand.

You can be in ten videos at once while sitting on your couch eating cereal.
And it still looks good.

This isn’t just a cosmetic tweak.
It’s a turning point for how we create content at scale.

Synthesia just made video production feel less like a chore and more like magic.

And honestly, after seeing what they’ve done, the only thing left for humans to do is write better scripts.

♻️ Repost to help someone level up their LinkedIn.
❤️ Follow Arfa Farheen for more tips that actually work.

I tried building an AI agent last month.
And within ten minutes I was questioning every life choice that led me to that moment.

Because nothing worked.
The tools were allergic to each other.
The data integrations behaved like moody teenagers.
The “secure environment” felt about as secure as a screen door on a submarine.

And my AI agent…
Well… let’s just say it started giving answers that made me wonder if it needed therapy.

(And honestly, I probably did too.)

This is the pain no one talks about.
You want automation.
You want efficiency.
You want that “AI agent that runs your workflow” magic.
But you end up wrestling with a digital octopus instead.

So I gave up.
Then I found Airia.
And for once… something actually worked like it was advertised.

Airia takes the entire messy circus of building agents
And turns it into a process even I can handle without panic-snacking.

You log in.
Pick what you want to build.
Drag a few steps.
Drop some logic.
Choose any model you want.
OpenAI. Anthropic. Gemini. Mistral.
Like picking your character in a video game.

Upload a PDF.
Connect Slack.
Sync Salesforce.
Done in minutes.

Hit run.
And suddenly everything fires like a workflow that actually wants to help you.
Summaries that make sense.
Insights that don’t sound like word salad.
Outputs that feel like a smart assistant
Instead of a confused intern who forgot their glasses.

And the features?
They’re stacked:

- No-code agent building
- Any LLM you want
- Enterprise-grade security
- Real-time guardrails
- Audit logs and monitoring
- Data integrations everywhere
- FinOps tools so you don’t cry over your LLM bill
- A 2,500 plus agent community you can steal from instantly

It’s the first time I’ve seen AI orchestration feel practical.
Predictable.
Scalable.
Without the usual learning curve that slows teams down.

If you want to build your first agent the right way
Start here → https://airia.com

Or explore the Airia Community and use an agent that’s already ready to go.

P.S What’s the first workflow you’d automate?

Most people think ChatGPT gives bad answers.

It doesn’t.

They just ask vague questions.

You’d be surprised how many prompts sound like:
“Make this better.”
“Write something viral.”
“Explain this.”

And then they wonder why it sounds like a toaster wrote it.

Here’s what actually works:
→ Give context.
→ Be clear about tone.
→ Tell it who it’s writing as.
→ Set constraints.
→ Refine, don’t restart.

ChatGPT isn’t your writer.
It’s your reflection.

Ask smarter, and you’ll get sharper.

Save this guide.
It’ll make your next prompt actually worth reading.

P.S. What’s the worst ChatGPT prompt you’ve ever written?

Love seeing creators and leaders actually investing in the next generation of AI talent not just talking about it.

If becoming “AI native” is the next big advantage…
then this is how you start building it.

Growing 🦄 with 🤖 / GTM @ GrowthX, YC founder, Affirm

The GrowthX AI waitlist is 10 weeks long, but companies need answers today.

So, we’re investing $1M to build the most valuable resource for growth operators who want to be AI-native.

Let me REPEAT! You can build for yourself the same systems we sell to go from $0 to $15M in revenue in a single year

(the same systems we create for Lovable, Ramp, and Augment Code...)

SO HERE GOES!

—-

🚀 Introducing the AI Led Growth Community. 🚀 

A place where growth operators and leaders can access courses, live workshops, and playbooks that break down our exact process.

The instant you join, you'll get access to these courses:

→ How GrowthX AI Bootstrapped from 0 → $7m in Months (2 hours): The exact playbook we used to close $22M in pipeline and scale entirely organically—no ads, no outbound, no investors.

→ What Webflow learned from millions of websites on AEO (1.5 hours): How top brands earn AI visibility and get cited by ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity—while 90% of companies stay invisible.

→ Create a content strategy to win AI Answers (3 hours): The $10K–$60K/month system top companies use—how to ask better questions, engineer strategy, and build repeatable workflows.

And in the next few weeks, you'll get these live workshops:

→ Vibe Marketing with Lovable: How to create campaigns that actually resonate instead of just driving clicks (Cecilia Stallsmith).

→ Executive Brand Building: Turn your leaders into distribution engines that attract customers, talent, and capital (Caleb Bushner).

→ A session on Developer Marketing with some awesome friends like Mario Moscatiello 

If we've learned anything, content alone won't get you there. So you'll ALSO get the support system:

→ Live community with operators going through the same journey
→ Every playbook, template, and teardown we use with clients
→ Watch us build workflows live (like vibe coding an entire app for Ramp in 10 minutes)
→ Early access to masterclasses, podcasts, and exclusive events

This is everything we wish existed when we were figuring this stuff out.

Comment GROWTH and I'll DM you a 90% off link to join 🙂
