Fractional CMO, Marketing Consultant, and Content Creator for 6-figure+ Accounting & Real Estate firms. | Follow for posts about authentic marketing, online business & personal wealth

Some people think of marketing as just getting more eyeballs on something. But the best marketing doesn’t just grab attention—it teaches, builds trust, and creates real connections. That’s the kind of work I do.

I’ve:
✔ Helped 200+ students across nine schools in Laos develop leadership & problem-solving skills through hands-on learning (DFC Laos).
✔ Grown organic traffic by 400% in six months for an online bookkeeping service by refining its content, SEO, and podcast strategy.
✔ Hosted a virtual summit with 500+ attendees and 25 speakers, bringing global experts together to discuss remote business growth.
✔ Led marketing strategy for innovative companies Hub Australia, Birchal, Heatseeker.ai, and Our Kinds—helping them scale, attract high-quality leads, and build sustainable growth engines.


⭐ What I Actually Do ⭐

I help mission-driven organisations create impact through education, content, and community. 

Sometimes, that looks like:
🎯 Facilitating a workshop that helps founders cut through marketing overwhelm.
✍️ Creating content that simplifies complex ideas so people actually engage with it.
🤝 Building communities that feel like real conversations—not just another Slack group that everyone forgets about.

I’ve worked with Digital Marketing Collective, Frank Team, and Realise Business, helped Bean Ninjas scale their Financial Literacy for Xero Users course, and built learning experiences that connect, educate, and inspire.

I’ve shared my approaches in Forbes, Inc., Valiant CEO, Agorapulse’s Agency Summit, and The Content Byte podcast. I believe marketing isn’t just selling—it’s about teaching and creating lasting value.

⭐ What I’m Focused on Now ⭐

I’m moving from fractional CMO work to teaching, coaching, writing, and community-building—work that better aligns with my Projector Human Design.

🌍 Community for Migrant & Minority Professionals – Exploring workshops & memberships to help professionals grow wealth in career, business & life.
🎤 Teaching & Speaking – Leading digital marketing & business courses with academies & organisations.
✍️ Writing & Content – Writing for major publications, finishing my books Dare to Escape & Trust Signals.
🚀 Coaching Startups – Helping founders build content engines with hands-on strategy & execution.
🏡 Tiny Home Life – Planning an off-grid move for more freedom & sustainability.

Last year, someone in my network called me “the tech events recap guy.”
That was no accident.

I deliberately decided to invest in connection as a job security strategy.

I showed up to 1–2 events a month across tech, startups, and marketing. A few major ones too — Sunrise Festival, SXSW Sydney. I was even sponsored to attend and report on Hubspot's GrowANZ as a creator.

But events alone weren’t the point.

I also blocked out at least one hour a week for coffees. In-person when possible. Virtual when needed. No agenda. Just proper conversations. 

Alongside that, I chose just one or two online communities to genuinely show up in rather than spreading myself thin. Shoutout to The Trusted Voice (String Nguyen) and Generate - The B2B Marketing Community in ANZ (axel sukianto)  — spaces where participation is noticed and trust builds over time.

And after events, I made it a habit to post short LinkedIn recaps — insights, lessons, moments, and people I appreciated. I’d share a few photos too. Nothing fancy. Just proof I was there, paying attention, and grateful.

That small habit did a lot of quiet work.

Over time, I learned what actually works for me.

I prefer movement-based, outdoor settings — walking meetings, basketball courts, places where we can hear each other without shouting. 

I rarely do evenings or alcohol-fuelled events anymore. Not because they’re bad. Just because they don’t suit my energy.

My deliberate connection habits led directly to paid work and opportunities that would not have come my way otherwise. 
- Coaching with The Trusted Voice. 
- Teaching marketing part-time to students at Academy of Entrepreneurs. 
- Collaborating with people I admire and co-creating content together. 
- Invitations to private, values-aligned gatherings you can’t buy tickets to.

The side effect?
A healthier, happier, more connected me — plus 1,794 new LinkedIn followers in the last 365 days. I’m now just 66 away from cracking 5K.

That’s career resilience.
Optionality through relationships.

This matters even more when you consider that many Australian career sites estimate around 70–80% of jobs are never advertised.

The hidden job market is filled through:
- Personal networks and social groups
- Industry events and communities
- Word of mouth and referrals
- Direct approaches to employers

If you’re not visible and trusted in these spaces, you’ll never even hear about many roles.

3 insights:
- Job security now lives in networks, not titles
- The “right” networking format is personal
- Trust compounds faster than applications

3 practical tips:
- Commit to consistent connection, not bursts
- Choose environments that fit your energy 
- Follow-up and check-in regularly with people you connect with (LinkedIn DM is great for this)

Networking isn’t about collecting contacts.
It’s how you stay mobile when roles disappear.

What’s one connection habit you could make boringly consistent this year?

Many revenue-driven professionals are challenged by inconsistent outreach, lack of referrals, low engagement on content, and a struggle to balance trust-building with the pressure to schedule more qualified meetings on a consistent basis. 

LinkedIn and AI have the potential to solve these issues, but most are either unsure how to start or have tried generic strategies, or even worse, automation, that simply didn’t work. Without a human-first, personalized approach, these tools end up adding noise and even spam instead of trust-based conversations.

There’s a better way, built on value, not pitches:

ONE
Leverage LinkedIn in Four Strategic Ways
 
1. Transform your profile from a resume into a resource that earns attention, establishes credibility, and builds trust.
 
2. Engage with content and share insights that lead to your solution rather than pitching it. 

3. Take inventory of your existing network by taking inventory of your connections and re-engaging with relevance. 

4. Use LinkedIn's search filters (and even better with Sales Navigator) to identify your clients’ and networking partners’ connections, positioning yourself for referrals that convert.

TWO
Train AI to Sound Like You

Create an AI avatar trained on your buyer personas, authentic voice, and solution nuances. This ensures that every piece of messaging, whether a comment, conversation starter, or campaign, is in your voice, not a generic template.

THREE
Build a Custom Prompt Library for Sales Efficiency

With a curated set of prompts tailored to your daily sales activities, you can quickly generate content, messages, and scripts that align with your goals. No more starting from scratch, just productive, scalable outreach that actually moves the needle.

FOUR
Don’t Go It Alone

Tap into a mastermind group of professionals who are navigating a similar path. Learn, share, ask questions, and grow together with a community that exists to help each other succeed, no egos, just impact.

This is the heart of what askSSL delivers. It’s not about selling harder; it’s about creating more meaningful conversations with the right people in a way that scales.

If you are exploring LinkedIn for sales, AI-powered messaging, or strategies to earn more referrals and start better conversations, I invite you to have a call. Whether or not we decide to work together, I am confident I will add actionable insights that can significantly impact your business development efforts.

Referrals are still the fastest path to real sales conversations.

They move quicker.
They start with context.
They begin with trust and credibility already in place.

What slows referrals down is how we ask for them.

Most referral requests require the other person to pause, think through their network, decide who might be a fit, and figure out how to connect you. Even when people want to help, that is a lot to process in the moment.

There is a better way to use LinkedIn to make referrals easier without overstepping.

I published a full guide that walks through:
• How to use LinkedIn.com for referrals, even without Sales Navigator
• A shared-search workaround that shows partners exactly who they know that matches your ICP
• When to ask for introductions vs permission to name-drop
• How to create and save referral searches you can reuse

If referrals are part of your 2026 growth plan, this will help.
