Results my clients and I have gotten from our personal brands:

1. Me - Built a $300k per year business (that’s still growing) while investing $0 at the start and only having about $200 per month in expenses right now.

2. Marketing Agency Owner - Got 7 clients in our first 6 weeks work together, then steadily got at least 3 per month until he sold his business after 12 months.

3. SaaS Company CEO - Amassed hundreds of users and became a thought leader in the tech industry.

4. Venture Capitalist - Bought an 8-figure stake in a company after a founder DMed him because of a piece of content I created for him.

I could share 20+ more stories like those, but I think you get the point.

Having a powerful personal brand is a career cheat code, and I’ve cracked the code on building them.

Here are some ways you can do the same:

1. Apply to be one of my clients. I’m very careful about who I work with, but if the fit is right, I’d love to partner up.

2. Subscribe to my newsletter and get a free 45-page personal branding guide (10 viral post templates included).

3. Buy the last course I’ll ever sell. It covers everything in the personal branding game and is $100 off for the first 1000 buyers.

4. Book a 1:1 consultation. If you want personalized advice with no long-term commitment, this is the option for you.

Links to all of those are in my featured section.

And if you're not interested in any of them, just give me a follow. You'll still pick up a ton of useful info from my posts.

I'll see you on the timeline 🤝

Founder

I sell a variety of products and services that help people write better, grow their social media pages faster, and increase their online earnings.

Sometime this year, I'll disappear from the internet entirely. No more LinkedIn, no more anything else.

This photo will live on, though.

And I'm happy about that.

Because it's not a cheap platitude, even if it does get great engagement every time someone posts it. 

I really believe in this idea.

The future belongs to people who take action even when they're feeling unqualified and insecure.

I hope you're one of them.

Built and sold a company. Now I’m a stock trader trying to donate $50 billion to charities, political causes, and Christian organizations over the next 50 years ✞

Helping Leaders Ignite Change Through Inner Growth 🌱

There are truly two ways to live in 2025:

1. Striving endlessly for more. Feeling separate & disconnected.
2. Living fully in the present. Aware of our shared connection.

Most live stuck in the first.

Inevitably leading to stress, burnout, and a sense that something’s missing.

The bigger problem?

This way of living doesn’t just drain your energy, it costs you the deeper joys of life:

- A clear & peaceful mind.
- Meaningful relationships.
- A deep sense of fulfillment.

The truth?

You don’t have to sacrifice well-being for success.

Life doesn’t need to feel like a constant grind.

Your way forward:

Live (and lead) with presence, connection, and intention.

My goal is to help leaders and organizations:

- Embrace the present moment to lead with clarity & connection.
- Build emotional intelligence for stronger relationships.
- Shift focus from individual goals to shared progress.

The future belongs to those who lead with the heart, inspiring collective growth over individual ambition.

If your job drains your energy,

It’s too costly.

Just because you can carry the load,
doesn’t mean it’s worth the weight.

When your spark becomes strategy.
When days off still feel like work.  
When your phone feels heavier than your purpose.  

That’s not balance.  
That’s burnout.

Here’s how I protect my energy (and still perform at my best) 👇🏼

1. Lead from presence, not pressure  
↳ The team mirrors your nervous system.  
↳ Regulate yourself, elevate everyone.

2. Protect recovery time like revenue  
↳ You don’t rise by running empty.  
↳ Rest sharpens, it doesn’t soften.

3. Redefine ambition  
↳ Chasing everything dilutes excellence.  
↳ Choose impact over image.

4. Replace urgency with clarity  
↳ Emergencies are rarely real.  
↳ Slow is smooth — smooth is fast.

5. Audit your attention  
↳ Your focus is your fuel — guard it.  
↳ Check what drains vs. what drives you daily.

6. Set “end-of-day anchors”  
↳ Write 3 wins, close the laptop, step away.  
↳ Completion beats perfection every time.

7. Build emotional buffers  
↳ One mindful breath before every meeting.  
↳ Calm is your new competitive edge.

No title is worth losing yourself.

Work should amplify your life,
not consume the parts that make it meaningful ✨

👉🏼 Which energy habit will you start today?

If you have to make yourself smaller to fit in,

it’s time to find a space built for growth.

It’s not a confidence issue, it’s a context issue.

Because the wrong environment can turn
strength into self-doubt.

Here’s how a limiting culture quietly gets to you:

❌ You triple-check every word because candor feels risky

❌ You hide your pace because moving fast triggers pushback

❌ You lower your standards to fit a room that fears growth

And before you notice, you forget the version of you 

Healthy rooms don’t need you muted.

So here’s a leaders checklist:

↳ Do people elevate your ideas or water them down?

↳ Can you bring tension with care — without fallout?

↳ Do your strengths spark collaboration or insecurity?

You’re not the problem.
The environment is.

And there are always two choices:

Change the culture.
Or move to a room that can handle your full range.

Don’t spend your life adjusting to places that deplete you.

Choose people who sharpen your presence and stretch how you think.

Find environments that recognize your strengths, not feel threatened by them.

You were built to expand.
Not to fold.

💬 Who in your life expands your potential?
Tag them. Let them know.

Success isn’t about being the brightest.

It’s about who sharpens you ✨

I used to feel safest being the expert.

Turns out, that comfort was my ceiling.

Real expansion starts when you:

- Feel exposed, not impressed
- Listen more than you speak
- Stay long enough to be stretched

Here are 5 shifts that changed my growth path 👇🏼

1) Celebrate others out loud  
↳ Generosity compounds trust and momentum  

2) Admit what you don’t know early  
↳ Clarity arrives faster without pretending  

3) Let others finish your thinking  
↳ Pausing invites better ideas to emerge  

4) Track patterns, not opinions  
↳ Repeated signals matter more than loud takes  

5) Build rooms, not pedestals  
↳ Systems beat solo brilliance every time  

Growth isn’t about standing out alone.  
It’s about rising inside the right ecosystem ✨  

Which shift feels most uncomfortable right now?

Fear-led leadership may hit fast.  

But trust-led leadership lasts.

I've seen it too many times, leaders chase quick wins.

While they lose the people who could help them build something lasting.

When fear takes the wheel, teams choose:

↳ compliance over creativity  
↳ caution over contribution  
↳ burnout over belief  

Here’s what to do to make your people stay:

❌ Ignoring the quiet ones  
↳ Silence often hides disengagement.  

❌ Micromanaging every move  
↳ It tells people you don’t trust them.  

❌ Confusing urgency with importance  
↳ Not everything needs to be a fire drill.  

❌ Holding back feedback until it’s too late  
↳ Growth happens in real time, not in reviews.  

❌ Rewarding results over relationships  
↳ You’ll hit targets, but lose loyalty.  

What to start doing instead:

✅ Lead with clarity, not control  
↳ Direction beats pressure every time.  

✅ Coach, don’t control  
↳ Help them think, not just execute.  

✅ Build psychological safety  
↳ Let people speak without fear of fallout.  

✅ Celebrate small wins  
↳ Recognition fuels intrinsic motivation.  

✅ Share your own learning curve  
↳ Vulnerability builds credibility.  

Fear can force performance for a moment.  

But trust fuels momentum that lasts.
