I help strategic SaaS sellers become millionaires without sacrificing their well-being using design & systems thinking. Get started w/ the links in my featured section ↓

From 2018 - 2022, I closed over $50M in tech sales by winning AI-enabled transformation deals with the world’s largest brands like Delta, Chipotle, and UnitedHealthcare.

In 2019, I entered the coveted 7-figure annual earners club for the first time. I averaged $1M+ 3 years in a row before retiring from the corporate world at age 42 in 2022.

These results came about, not so much by focusing on specific sales techniques and tactics, but more through designing and developing a unique way to operate consistently at an elite level.

This wasn’t always the case.

Like so many in tech sales, I fell into the trap of needing to hustle and grind to get to the top. 

And then once I got to the top, I had to do it all over again, month after month, quarter after quarter, and year after year.

That led to a vicious cycle of frustration and burnout. It got so bad that I landed in the hospital in my early 30s due to a mini-stroke from overworking. Plus, I was stalling my earnings at $200K per year.

It wasn’t until I completely redesigned my work and life with more purposeful integration that I found sustainable results and satisfaction.

The catalyst to changing the way I operated was adopting a "Human First, Seller Second" approach using design thinking and systems thinking. 

Today, I use my role as The Purposeful Performer to deliver content, community, and coaching that help strategic revenue generators turn their tech sales career into a noble craft and funding vehicle for their long-term passion projects.

All of this is driven by a customizable personal operating system that I write about. 

The results?

→ Corporate retirement 10 years ahead of my personal goal.
→ $27.3M+ in ARR generated w/ a 78% closing ratio. 
→ $3.8M+ in personal income in 48 months.
→ All while averaging 7 hrs/night of sleep.

My parents were here for 2 weeks in Okinawa.

We spent time together. Real time.

Threw ninja stars. Ate meals. Walked the beaches.

I took some time off.

And besides clients' work...

I paused most of my other tasks.

But here's what didn't stop.

My system.

While I was with them, my DM agent was working.

Finding leads. Sending messages. Booking calls.

I wasn't checking my phone every 5 minutes.

I wasn't stressed about pipeline.

I was just... there with them.

And the conversations kept flowing.

That's the whole point.

Most people think you have to choose.

Either you're grinding. 

Or you're living.

But that's a false choice.

If your business depends on you showing up every day...

You don't have a business.

You have a job.

Having something that would run without me was vital...

Because that is how I want to live my life.

Even if I have a one person business.

So...
While I'm throwing ninja stars with my dad...

My LinkedIn machine is working.

(yes, we actually did that 🤣)

While I'm eating dinner with my mom...

Leads are being validated.

While I'm sleeping, replies are coming in.

This is what automation actually means.

Not cutting corners.

Not sounding like spam.

It means building once so you never have to grind again.

It means being with the people you want to be with.

And still having your pipeline full.

That's the life I wanted.

And that's the life I'm living now.

P.S. Does your system runs without you?

71% reply and 3 interested leads.

How these 2 clients did it in 21 days.

Client A started from zero on LinkedIn.

No followers. 
No content. 
No clue.

👉 Three weeks in, he had three interested leads.

(founders in fintech)

From no business to interested leads.

Client B ran his first cold outreach campaign.

71% reply rate.

Not 7%. Not 17%. 

Seventy-one percent.

Here's what I did for both of them.

1) I optimized their profiles.

Not the vanity stuff. 

Positioning that made buyers stop scrolling and start reading.

Messaging that made them feel seen, not sold to.

2) I had them create at least two pieces of content.

Not daily posting marathons. 

Two thoughtful pieces.

Content that showed their thinking. 

Their experience. 

Their perspective.

Not "here's how to do X." 

More like "here's what I learned when I tried X."

Real. Honest. Human.

Then came the part that changed everything.
3) We focused on relationships over selling.

No aggressive DMs. 

No "let's hop on a call" openers.

Instead: genuine comments. 

Real observations. 

Actual interest in the people they were reaching out to.

Warm them up first. 

Build the bridge. 

Then, only then, mention what you do.

Client A's three leads came because he showed up as a real person.

Not a salesperson. 

Client B's 71% reply rate came because his DMs felt like they were from a person.

Not a bot. 

Not a template. 

A human who actually read their profile.

Here's the thing nobody talks about.

LinkedIn isn't broken. 

Most approaches are.

Most people optimize their profile...

Post once... 

Then DM like they're running a telemarketing operation.

Then they wonder why nobody replies.

But when you do the work:
- Profile
- Content 
-Relationships

...the system works.

Both clients proved it in their first month.

You can too.

Start with your profile. 

Make it professional.

Add two pieces of real content. 

Show your thinking.

Then reach out to 50 people this week. 

Not to sell. To connect.

Watch what happens.

The pipeline builds itself when you build it right.

P.S> Human first. Sales later.

A frog was staring at me this morning.

When I opened my washing machine.

After a few seconds...

It leaped out.

I froze for a second.

And thought:

"How did it end up there?".

Then I realized something.

That frog didn't plan to be in my washing machine.

It didn't wake up thinking:

"Today I'm going to hide in a dark, wet box."

It just ended up there. Seeking shelter. Seeking safety.

(still do not know how that happened)

And now it was trapped.

So I grabbed a broom and a dustpan.

Gently scooped it out. 

Walked it to the garden.

Released it back where it belonged.

Here's what hit me.

We do the same thing.

We end up in spaces that aren't meant for us.

Jobs that drain us.

Relationships that suffocate us.

Routines that numb us.

We tell ourselves it's temporary. 

We'll get out soon.

But days turn into weeks.

Weeks turn into years.

And we're still staring at the same walls.

The frog didn't know how to escape on its own.

But it also didn't accept the washing machine as its home.

It waited.

And when the door opened, it didn't hesitate.

Most of us hesitate.

We've been in the dark so long that...

We forget what the garden looks like.

We convince ourselves that...

The "washing machine" is safer than the unknown.

So we stay.

The frog taught me something today.

Sometimes you don't need a grand plan to change your life.

You just need to recognize when you're in the wrong place.

And be willing to move when the door opens.

The door is always "open".

The question is: are we paying attention?

P.S. Shared a pic of the frog in the comments :)

I get 53.1% reply from my DMs.

Here is what I do (daily):

Research 35-40 prospects.
Validate about 24 leads.
Research all of them.
Send 30+ DMs.
Reply to DMs.

That is about 90-160 minutes a day.

In reality, I do not do any of this.

AI and VAs do this for me.

Here's the system:

My VA uses Kondo: Superhuman for LinkedIn DMs to manage the inbox.

-She splits conversations into tags

- Quickly closes low-priority threads.

- Uses keyboard shortcuts to reply faster.

What used to take 1 hour+/ now takes 20 mins for my VA.

Meanwhile, my AI agent validates leads.

Researches them.

Sends personalized DMs in my voice.

And tags me when needed.

(I typically clear my inbox in 5 mins/d)

No spam. No templates. Just context.

Then Extrovert comes in.

I curate feeds of my prospect's posts.

The AI summarizes them.

Suggests thoughtful comments.

My VAs reviews. I approves. I engages.

Two comments before a connection.

(15-20%+ acceptance and reply on average)

Top-of-mind without the daily grind.

The numbers you see above require 5 minutes of my time per day on average.

P.S. How much time do you spend in the DMs every day?
