Content Writer @ Kurogo | Former Rugby League Player Turned Writer

I played Rugby League for 16 years, with the dream of eventually making it as a pro.

But that dream died a tragic death.

So I proceeded to have a bit of an identity crisis and felt fairly lost on this spinning rock.

Then in 2019, I stumbled across writing, more specifically, copywriting. It was pretty much love at first sight.

So I decided to go all in on writing online whilst being a bit of a nomad (I eventually ended up living in southern Spain).

Since then, I've written for 60+ business owners, with the aim of helping them: 

• Attract top talent.
• Book more meetings.
• Increase brand awareness.
• Stand out from competition.
• Gain more newsletter subscribers.

Now, I work at one of the UK's leading Personal Branding agencies.

I'm sure you've heard the phrase 'personal branding' a lot. I'm sure it probably makes you want to curl up into a ball and cringe your little noggin' off.

But the thing is: 

Building your brand as a professional in this day and age is pretty bloody crucial.

Why? Well...

Your reputation matters.
How you're perceived matters.
And the stories you share matter.

But doing all of that, and creating brand content can take a helluva lot of time and effort. 

Thankfully, that's where Kurogo comes in.

To put it simply, if you're a brand owner, C-suite exec, or an outright professional in your field, that:

a) Isn't satisfied with your current content.
b) Has no time to create content.
c) Doesn't know where to start.
d) All of the above.

Let us help you create content that: 

→ Entertains
→ Educates
→ Provides actionable advice

That’s about it for now. 

If you fancy a chat, feel free to send me a message.

Other than that, see you on the timeline.

Cheers :)

If you use em dashes = AI
If you use “Not X, but Y” = AI
If you use “here’s the thing” = AI
If you use “most people” = AI
If you leave white space = AI
If you use semi-colons = AI
If you write in English = AI
If you write in a language = AI
If you use words = AI
If you breathe = AI
If you do the Hokey Cokey and you turn around = AI

For optimal authenticity and thought leadership, humans must revert to hieroglyphics.

Agree?

The 5 critical stages of posting on LinkedIn (read this to supercharge your success into oblivion):

1. I should post more
2. I'll post tomorrow
3. Right, today’s the day
4. Post something
5. Immediately regret everything


BONUS POINTS: delete post

I haven’t posted in MONTHS. I’ve been too busy AI-maxxing. Things I’ve automated right now:

– My caffeine intake
– My sleeping hours (I don’t need to sleep anymore)
– Every single letter of every single post I write (no edits)
– My morning thoughts
– My evening thoughts
– My opinions on AI
– My opinions on opinions about AI
– My personality
– My entire internal monologue
– My sense of purpose

I don’t need to do anything at all. My Claude Cowork Megatron 9000 does everything.

I just lean back in my chair and watch my entire life get automated before my very eyes while I smoke 6 pineapple iced Lost Mary vapes per day.

Fuck man… I haven’t actually had a genuine human thought in months.

I’m AI-maxxing right now chat.

I ain’t losing my job. I ain’t getting left behind. I'm ahead of the curve.

Thoughts?

What people think ghostwriting is: "Tell me your ideas, and I’ll write them."

The reality of ghostwriting:

Founder: “I don’t have many ideas. I don’t know what to tell you. My life really isn’t that interesting.”

Me: “Okay, tell me what you’ve been up to and what’s on your mind.”

Founder: casually talks for 37 minutes about crazy shit that nobody else I know has ever done in their 20+ years on earth, never mind a 7-14 day period. An obscene amount of productivity that ~80% of humans aren’t capable of. Worldviews, thought processes and a level of systems thinking that are on another stratosphere to the average mind. Stories you could create literal movies about.

Also founder: “I don’t know if that’s actually useful for you though”

Me:

People ALWAYS ask me how to come up with such magnificent, mind-blowing content ideas.

My humble take:

Ideas aren't the problem.

The problem is sitting down to write
and your brain suddenly decides it has
never had an actual thought in its miserable existence.

When someone says “can you just quickly…” then proceeds to send a list that’s longer than my entire fvcking future:

The lifecycle of the greatest LinkedIn posts to ever grace MANKIND (I know from experience):

– Think of earth-shattering idea
– Write post
– Overthink every last detail
– Feel intelligent
– Post it
– Feel dumb
– Spot typo
– Die inside
– Edit post
– Hope nobody notices
– Refresh analytics
– Refresh analytics
– Refresh analytics
– Delete post
– Wipe tear from eye
– Put on brave face like a good boy
– Get on with day as usual
– Never post again

I work with coaches and founders who feel unclear, inconsistent, or unsure about how to show up online, even though they know they have valuable work to offer.

My work focuses on identity-first personal branding, where clarity comes before content and strategy.

Through 1:1 mentorship and strategic guidance, I help clients:
- gain clarity on their identity, niche, and positioning
- articulate what they do in a simple, confident way
- build messaging that reflects who they are and what they stand for
- create content direction that feels aligned and sustainable
- show up consistently without overthinking or burnout

This is not execution-only support or done-for-you services.

Instead, I work at the decision-making and clarity level, helping clients think clearly, position themselves accurately, and build a personal brand that genuinely supports their business growth.

My approach combines:
- branding and positioning strategy
- content marketing direction
- strategic planning for visibility and authority
- training and mentorship to support confidence and consistency

Best suited for coaches and founders who want to build long-term authority online and are ready to invest in clarity, not shortcuts.
