💰CEO of Ladies Get Paid I Entrepreneur | Former IAC & Vimeo

I bootstrapped my first company, Ladies Get Paid, from nothing to 50k members and 7 figures. I've spent 15 years working across Vimeo, IAC, and with brands like Microsoft, Nike, Google, and Meta. My work has been featured in the NYT, WSJ, and Good Morning America, and recognized by the White House.

Now I do marketing for B2B companies that need someone to jump in, figure it out, and get it done. Strategy and execution, without the headcount or the hand holding. I've run my own company, so I know the value of your time, and how to help best.

I help you define what makes you different, develop your positioning, create content that generates leads, fix your website so it converts, and I can even build your profile as a founder.

I'm an AI Forward marketer. I built a system that encodes 15 years of expertise—frameworks, audience psychology, what actually works—and applies it at scale to every client.Before I write a single word of strategy, the system has already processed your audience, your competitive landscape, and the market narratives that shape how people see you. Then it runs that against proven frameworks to surface the right message, the right tactic, the right angle. The system gets better with every engagement, and you benefit from everything that came before you.

AI handles the volume. Experience tells me what matters. The system compounds both.

Anyone in the middle of a career transition -- listen up!

Almost 10 years ago, I met Claire Wasserman for the first time. I don't know if I had ever seen someone speak with such poise and authority.

And as the co-founder of Ladies Get Paid -- her company has not only helped hundreds of thousands of women bridge the wage gap and find roles that compensate them well, she's also navigated getting sued by a men's rights group (yes, really) AND being brave enough to leave her hetero marriage and marry her female co-founder (the also kickass Ashley Louise)

On today's episode of Financial Feminist, Claire gives powerful, valuable advice on finding a great job, getting fair compensation, and what to do when faced with a career setback. (Link to listen in the first comments.)

Community at Square | Maximizing ROI through strategic community building. | Writer, speaker, husband, brother, dog dad, and sometimes a DJ

Hi, I'm Max and it's great to connect!

My career journey hasn’t been linear (is anyone’s?), but I’m grateful it’s led me to what I care about most: helping people feel seen, supported, and like they belong.

I started out in marketing and advertising, working across music labels, agencies, and my own freelance practice. But during the early days of the pandemic, burnout and a deep craving for more meaningful work led me to community building, and I haven’t looked back since.

Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to build and support communities ranging from 300 to over 300,000 members, speak at 20+ events (including Creative Mornings and Talkbase in Prague), and collaborate with brands such as Square, SuperHi, and Origin.

Some people call me a “community cheerleader,” a nickname I wear proudly. My work is rooted in care, clarity, and connection. Whether I’m leading strategy, hosting an event, coaching a founder, or writing a newsletter, I’m always thinking about how to make people feel a little more human and a little less alone.

Outside of work, I’m an amateur DJ and playlist curator (music has been a lifelong passion), a writer, and a proud advocate for individuals with limb differences. I serve on the board of Design With Us and volunteer as a coach with Nubability.

Let’s connect if you:

- Want to jam on community ideas or swap career stories
- Are looking for a speaker or podcast guest
- Need help building a community or clarifying your messaging
- Just want to say hi (that’s cool too)

And if you want to follow along more regularly, I write about community, career, and self-worth in my newsletter: https://maxpete.substack.com

The pressure to be extraordinary is just another way to keep us from enjoying the ordinary lives we already have. I hope you can find some time today to just be still and remember that your output is the least important thing about you. We’re doing just fine, exactly as we are.

I love talking about things outside of what I do for work. This was a fun one!
