Brand Partner & Content Creator

My greatest partnership began 11 years ago today…

…the day I met my wife-to-be.

We met at a wedding in random city....

Cincinnati.

We lived in different countries.

We had very different careers.

And came from different worlds.

But somehow, we built a life together anyway.

Today we have a family, a home, a son…
 and a partnership stronger than anything I could’ve imagined.

In business I talk a lot about founders, teammates, investors…

But none of them compare to the partner who believed in me before anyone else did.

Here’s to the person who changed everything. ❤️

Creator Entrepreneur + Interviewer. Building Skillstore and Creator Leaders. Sharing the journey along the way 👇

Today is the BIG DAY.

Skillstore launches at 12pm today.

What started as a problem.

Became an idea, then a “dream”.

Months of hard work, failure and learnings led to where we get to today.

An MVP with some of the UK leading creators & entrepreneurs sharing their skills that made it happen for them.

For creators & educators, Skillstore allows you:
• Add a revenue stream
• Build an email list
• Grow a personal brand

For people learning on Skillstore, this is the fastest and curated way to get skills to own your career. 

I wish I had this when I want younger, but I’m happy to have this now to learn more.

12pm I’ll drop a link in the comments here ⬇️

I can’t wait to share it all with you.

(All feedback is welcome at this early stage!)

Welcome to Skillstore. The platform built to teach the skills school never did.

Today, we officially launch with some of the UK’s leading creators, entrepreneurs and leaders 

All sharing the real, practical skills that actually move your life and career forward.

The skills you wish you learned years ago:

• How to sell
• How to build
• How to start a business
• How to grow on social media
• How to take control of your career

We’ve been partnering with some of the most respected and trusted voices in the UK people who have actually done it, so you can learn in minutes, not months.

And if you’re a creator who wants to:

• Grow your audience
• Build your personal brand
• Create more revenue streams
• Package and sell your skills

Then Skillstore was built for you too.

Creators are the new educators.

And today, we start proving it.

4. Do an advert for NatWest.
5. Be invited to film premieres.
6. Interview for LADbible Group.
7. Earn a living by making videos.
8. Get offered the UAE Golden Visa.

Everything I’ve done came from one thing:

Another step into the unknown. 

For everyone who wants to build a life they can’t believe they achieved.
