Body transformation coach to entrepreneurs. On a mission to help 1 million people transform their bodies by 2027. Follow me for posts on high performance & health optimization.

Over the past 18 years, at High Performance Founder we have been helping some of the sharpest Entrepreneurs on the Planet lose weight, build muscle & increase energy.

Just imagine yourself with more confidence, energy & focus watching your revenue skyrocket as a result of feeling like yourself again.

That’s what most DREAM about, but cease to ever accomplish...

After servicing over 10,000+ Clients,

I've noticed a pattern of why most Entrepreneurs can't lose weight in a sustainable way and I've distilled it down to 3 forces:

Force #1. Cookie cutter plans - You follow someone else's plan or diet and hope to expect the same result.

What you actually need is a plan customized to your body and personal lifestyle.

Force #2. Systems — No systems in place to make getting in shape easier.

A good business runs on systems. The same goes for your body.

Without systems you're gambling on success worse than a drunken bet at a Vegas craps table. 

The process of getting your body back into shape is very much about automating the habits needed to get your body lean & energetic.

No systems = having to think about your diet and workouts all the time.

This results in your spinning your wheels getting frustrated with the process and eventually giving up.

Force #3. Too much focus on losing weight. Not enough on sustainability

What's the point of losing 20 lbs in 6 weeks if you just put it back on?

The goal is to never worry or think about having an unhealthy body for the rest of your life.

But you can't be doing that if you're just thinking about doing things only to lose weight and not enough on your lifestyle.

Most entrepreneurs do unsustainable things to lose a couple pounds on the scale only to be disappointed when they're back where they started.

This results in a yo yo cycle of weight loss and weight gain until they give up.

Now, if you're facing any of these forces, I have a good news! These are completely avoidable and reversible if you just follow the right process.

At High Performance Founder, we are client-obsessed helping entrepreneurs succeed by filling in these gaps. 

Our "North Star" is our clients, focused on this axis; Fastest, most predictable and cost-efficient way possible to help you grow. Our hygiene standard is to help our client getting in shape without stressing out.

It's my birthday today, and let me share with you something that has taken me a decade to learn:

Body:
Hit the gym 3x/week. That's it.

Relationships:
Find someone whom you wouldn't mind doing absolutely nothing with. Lock that person down.

Work:
Pick something you'd do for free. Then charge for it.

Daily execution:
Show up. Do the work. Ignore everyone else's scoreboard.

The happiest people I know are not the ones with the most money. They're the ones who figured this out.

We overcomplicate success:
- 47-step morning routines
- Optimization frameworks
- Life hacks and shortcuts
- Comparison games

The truth is boring:

Lift heavy things. Love good people. Build something meaningful. Have more fun than everyone else.

That's the whole playbook.

The person having the most fun always wins. Because they're the only one who knows what game they're actually playing.

Stop collecting tactics. Start living.

Period.

I Asked 100 Entrepreneurs: 'What Would You Trade For 10 More Healthy Years?'

Every Answer Was The Same.

"Everything."

Their cars. Stock portfolios. Beach houses. Business empires.

All of it.

One founder showed me his dad's death certificate. Died at 58. Heart attack. Built a $50M company but never saw his grandkids.

Another pulled up photos. Him at 35: Running 5ks. Him at 45: Can't climb stairs without stopping.

Here's what hit me hardest:

These aren't lazy people. They work 80-hour weeks. Close million-dollar deals. Build empires.

But they treat their bodies like rental cars.

Skip workouts for meetings.
Replace meals with protein bars.
Sleep 4 hours because "hustle."
Pop pills instead of fixing problems.

Then, at 50, they'd trade their entire net worth for what they destroyed.

The math doesn't work.

You're grinding for a future you won't live to see. Building wealth while bankrupting your health.

I tell my clients: Your body is your only non-negotiable asset.

Money? You can make more.
Business? You can start another.
Health? Once it's gone, it's gone.

The entrepreneurs who get this? They schedule workouts like board meetings. Track sleep like KPIs. Treat nutrition like an investment strategy.

Because 10 extra healthy years isn't about living longer.

It's about being there when your daughter gets married. Playing with grandkids. Actually enjoying what you built.

You can't buy that back.

80% of desk workers do these for 60 seconds. The other 20% will live longer.

Watch the video. These two moves will save your spine, keep your shoulders healthy, improve posture, and also help improve your chances at longevity.

The Bar Hang:
• Decompresses your spine after 8 hours of sitting
• Opens up shoulders hunched over keyboards
• Strengthens grip (predicts longevity better than blood pressure)
• Hold for 1-2 minutes

The Asian Squat:
• Reverses hip tightness from chair prison
• Mobilizes ankles destroyed by dress shoes
• Strengthens knees most people can't bend past 90°
• Hold for 1-2 minutes

My CEO clients laughed when I showed them this.

"That's your secret weapon?"

6 weeks later:
• Back pain gone
• Can touch their toes again
• Energy through the roof
• Feel 10 years younger

Your body wasn't designed for 8 hours in a chair.

These 4 minutes undo 8 hours of damage.

One opens what sitting closes. The other strengthens what sitting weakens.

Do them daily. Your spine will thank you at 70.

Something I've realized in my 20 years of coaching is that your physical health equals your mental health.

When I was sedentary, eating a horrible diet, not getting enough sleep, and drinking alcohol regularly, it would often come with anxiety, negative thoughts, and ruminations. 

The first thing I did to clean up my act was start an exercise routine.

As I went to the gym, I found that my brain felt lighter, and I was starting to feel motivated. 

One thing led to another, and here I am writing this to you on LinkedIn. 

You can build a better brain by building a better body. 

If you don't believe me, try it out for yourself. You may be surprised at what you find.

My client lost 30 lbs and made an extra $1.2M last year. Not a coincidence.

"I can't focus after lunch," he told me 18 months ago. Running a $2 million company while falling asleep in meetings.

His day: 
- Skip breakfast
- 4 coffees by noon
- Crash at 2pm
- Work until midnight (poorly)
- Repeat

We fixed his body first. Business followed.

Started simple:
- Protein breakfast daily
- Gym 3x/week
- 8 hours sleep
- Walk during calls

Month 3: Down 15 lbs. Stopped the 2pm crashes.
Month 6: Down 30 lbs. Working 2 fewer hours, getting 2x more done.
Month 12: Best revenue year ever.

Here's what nobody tells you about fitness and money:

Energy = Better decisions
Confidence = Bigger deals close easier
Discipline = Systems that scale
Health = People trust you with their business

My highest-earning clients aren't the smartest. They're the ones with the most energy.

You can't negotiate million-dollar deals when you're fighting to stay awake.

The math:
Gym membership: $100/month
Healthy food: Extra $300/month
Energy to close one more deal: Priceless

Your body is your #1 business asset. Everything else is secondary.

Period.

Everyone wants the shortcut. The pill. The hack. Here's what 20 years of coaching taught me:

The basics work. They've always worked.

But people hate them because they're boring.

You know what's not boring?

• Having energy to play with your kids at 45
• Thinking clearly in every meeting
• Never worrying about your blood work
• Feeling stronger at 50 than you did at 30
• Actually enjoying how you look in photos

I've watched hundreds of entrepreneurs transform their lives with these 5 simple habits.

Not supplements. Not biohacks. 

Just the unsexy stuff that actually moves the needle.

The hard truth: Your problems aren't that complicated.

Your solutions aren't either.

You just don't want to do the work.

Start with one. Then add another. In 6 months, you'll be unrecognizable.

Or keep searching for magic. Your choice.

A broom handle just fixed my CEO client's 10-year back pain in 47 seconds.

Not kidding.

After spending $10,000 on chiropractors, and massage therapy, a $5 broom handle did what nothing else could.

The move: Kneeling T-Spine Rotation.

Here's why 90% of desk workers have garbage posture:

Your thoracic spine (mid-back) is locked up from 8+ hours of hunching. When it can't rotate, your lower back and neck compensate. Hello, pain.

The 47-second fix:

1. Sit on a bench
2. Place broom handle across your upper back
3. Place a foam roller or pillow between your knees
4. Rotate your body (see video)
5. 10 reps each side

That's it. No gym required.

My client's results:
- Week 1: "Feels weird but good"
- Week 2: "Standing taller without trying"
- Week 3: "Haven't touched ibuprofen"
- Month 2: "Best I've felt in a decade"

The uncomfortable truth:

You're spending thousands on complex solutions when a broom handle and 47 seconds would fix it.

Your spine doesn't need another gadget. It needs to move the way it was designed to move.

Watch the full demo in the video above. Your future self will thank you.

The Deathbed Calculator: How Many Years Your Current Habits Are Stealing (With Proof)

My 52-year-old client just discovered he'd been trading 14 years of his life for convenience.

The math was brutal:
- Daily alcohol: -4.6 years
- Poor sleep habits: -2.8 years 
- Zero strength training: -3.2 years
- Processed food diet: -2.1 years
- 4000 steps a day: -2.5 years

He thought he was "just living life."

Turns out he was financing his early death on a payment plan.

Here's what most people miss: Your body keeps a running tab. Every skipped workout. Every late-night scroll. Every "just one more drink."

The compound interest on bad habits is death.

But here's the plot twist – the math works both ways:

Start lifting 3x weekly: +2.5 years
Fix your sleep: +2.1 years
Cut the booze: +3.8 years
Walk 8,000 steps: +1.9 years
Eat whole foods: +2.3 years

That's 12.6 years added back. In 90 days.

My client's now deadlifting his body weight and playing with his grandkids. At 55, he's younger than he was at 45.

The calculator doesn't lie. Your habits are either deposits or withdrawals.

Which account are you funding?

"I need to lose 20 lbs fast." Every January 2nd email ever.

Here's exactly what I'd do. No BS. No magic pills.

• Zero alcohol for 90 days
• 10,000 steps every single day
• Lift weights 4x/week (3 is maintenance, 5 is overkill)
• Sleep 7-8 hours (non-negotiable)
• Replace snacks with water
• Real food only. If it has a commercial, skip it.

That's it. That's the whole system.

My client Sarah followed this exact blueprint:

Week 1: "This is too simple to work."
Week 4: Down 6 lbs
Week 8: "My jeans are falling off."
Week 12: Down 22 lbs, deadlifting her bodyweight

The uncomfortable truth:

Everyone wants the complicated solution because simple feels too easy.

Keto? Intermittent fasting? Carnivore? 
Cool. But unnecessary.

You know what works. You've always known.

The gap isn't information. Its execution.

90 days. 6 rules. Zero excuses.

Most people will read this and look for something more complex.

The ones who just screenshot it and start tomorrow? They'll be shopping for new clothes by April.

Patience isn't sexy. But neither is yo-yo dieting for the next decade.

Pick simple. Stick to simple. Win with simplicity.

Period.

People ask me how I stay lean year-round as a dad while running multiple businesses.

Here's the truth: I don't negotiate with myself.

My daily non-negotiables:

· Exercise
· No meals past 6pm
· Hydrate with water
· Give value to people
· Eat a nutrient dense diet
· Write at least 500 words
· Read at least one chapter
· Sleep at 10. Wake up by 6am.
· Always breathe through my nose

Most people think this list is extreme.

I think waking up tired, sick, and unmotivated is extreme.

The difference between successful people and everyone else isn't talent.

It's having standards you refuse to break.

Every item on this list serves a purpose:
- Exercise = Mental clarity
- 6pm cutoff = Better sleep
- Writing = Clear thinking
- Nose breathing = Calm nervous system

These aren't restrictions. They're my operating system.

When you make health non-negotiable, success becomes inevitable.

Your standards become your life.

What are yours?

My client dropped 18 pounds in 6 weeks drinking water at weird times.

She'd tried everything. Keto. Intermittent fasting. 10,000 steps. Nothing stuck.

Then we tested something stupidly simple: Strategic water timing.

The protocol in the image changed everything.

Here's the science most people miss:

Drinking water during meals forces you to eat faster which interferes with your digestive process.

But water BEFORE meals? Different story. Increases satiety hormones. You eat 22% less without trying.

Water between meals kills fake hunger. Most "hunger" is just dehydration wearing a disguise.

The morning water hydrates you better than coffee.

My client went from constantly snacking to forgetting food exists. Her energy doubled. Bloating vanished.

The Lean Body Water Method isn't sexy. But it works.

Because sometimes the answer isn't another $200 supplement or biohacking gadget.

It's the stuff that's been free all along.

I just turned 46. Here’s what your 40s are trying to tell you:

Your metabolism didn’t slow down. You did.

Your back doesn’t hurt from age. It hurts from sitting.

You’re not too old to build muscle. You’re too inconsistent.

Your energy isn’t gone. It’s buried under poor sleep and stress.

At 46, I’m stronger than at 26. Better cardio than 36. More muscle, less medication, zero excuses.

The difference? I stopped negotiating with the basics: Lift heavy. Walk daily. Sleep 8 hours. Eat protein. Repeat forever.

Your 40s aren’t your decline. They’re your wake-up call.

Answer it.

A CEO client just turned 52. His doctor gave him two options:

"Start medication for your heart, or start moving."

He chose both cardio AND weights. Smart move.

Everyone's arguing about cardio vs weights. They're missing the point.

Here's what actually happens:

Cardio only = You'll outlive your friends but need help opening jars
Weights only = You're strong until your heart says "nope" at 65
Both = You're the 90-year-old still crushing life

The math is simple:

3x week cardio = Heart that won't quit
3x week weights = Body that won't break
6 hours total = Decades of independence

My client who started this at 52:

Month 1: Could barely walk up stairs
Month 6: Deadlifting his bodyweight
Month 12: Off heart medication
Today: Planning to hike Machu Picchu at 55

The uncomfortable truth:

Every workout you skip is a vote for a weaker future.
Every workout you complete is compound interest for your body.

Stop picking sides in a war nobody wins.

Your heart needs cardio.
Your muscles need weights.
Your future needs both.

Period.

Everyone else is coasting into 2025. I'm about to disappear.

Starting today through March 31st, I'm going full monk mode.

Here's my non-negotiable protocol:

• Zero alcohol 
• Social events: 
• No processed sugar
• 1000 words written before 8am daily
• 10 minutes meditation 
• No foods after 6pm
• Business meetings that matter only

My friends think I'm crazy when I tell them this:

"Dan, it's the holidays! Everyone's slowing down!"

Exactly.

While they're nursing hangovers, I'm in the gym at 5am.
While they're scrolling, I'm writing my next book.
While they're "starting fresh in January," I'm already 90 days ahead.

Last year during monk mode:
- Lost 12 pounds of pure fat
- Wrote 45,000 words
- Had record income months
- Actually enjoyed Christmas (present, not buzzed)

The best part? My family gets the real me. Not the stressed, distracted, half-present version.

This isn't about being antisocial. It's about being intentional.

I've done this for 5 years straight. Each time, I emerge sharper, leaner, and light years ahead of where I started.

2026 isn't built in 2026. It's built right now.

The question is: Will you coast or create?

Before finding the gym, I was a massive screw-up. 
 
My life consisted of working a job I hated, playing video games to pass the time, and drinking to the point of getting blackout drunk with my friends every week. 
 
When I found the gym and started to exercise, my world changed. 
 
I started to think more positively. I started to find my self-worth. 
 
Strength training gave me energy and confidence. 
 
Nutrition helped me focus and reduce my anxiety. 
 
The actions that get you in shape are the same ones that change your brain and improve mental health. 
 
If you're stuck in life, try focusing on your health and body.

I spent 20 years as a meathead who thought cardio was for quitters.

Could bench 1.5x and deadlift 2.5x my bodyweight. But walking up one flight of stairs? Winded.

That wake-up call hit at 42. I was strong but would struggle running a 5k.

So I swallowed my pride and started walking. Then sprinting. Then Zone 2 cardio.

The changes shocked me:
• Energy through the roof
• Mood more stable than ever
• Can outlast guys half my age
• Feel better at 45 than I did at 25

I still lift heavy 3x a week. But now I do cardio 3x.

Turns out I was only training half my body. The weights gave me better years. But the cardio? That's giving me more years.

Doing both is giving me the best years.

Your muscles might impress at the beach. Your heart determines if you'll make it there.

December 5th. While everyone is waiting for January to make changes you could show up 10 pounds lighter and ahead of the pack.

December is "separation season". While everyone is getting lazy and enjoying the holidays, you are creating an unbreakable foundation. 

My client Marcus did this last December. Lost 15 pounds, doubled his energy, and closed his biggest deal of the year on December 28th.

The December Domination Protocol:

Every. Single. Day:

- No alcohol
- Lift 3x a week
- Walk 10k steps
- Limit social media
- Read a chapter a day
- Reach out to 5 people
- Set a goal and do one thing every day to achieve it

Do these non-negotiables until the end of December.

No days off. No excuses. No "I'll start tomorrow."

The math:
31 days × 45 minutes = 23.25 hours total
23.25 hours = Complete physical transformation
January 1st = You're already 27 days ahead

Most people will screenshot this and wait until Monday.

Some will try it for 3 days and quit.

Winners started their plan before finishing this sentence.

By New Year's Eve, you'll either be transformed or full of excuses.

Your competition is planning their resolutions. You'll already be living yours.

💪 Who's in? Comment "DAY 1" and let's dominate December together.

My client Marcus lost 30 pounds in 90 days.

But the real transformation? He discovered why he'd been fat for 20 years.

Week 1: "I'm too busy to meal prep."
Reality: He spent 3 hours daily scrolling social media.

Week 3: "I don't have time for the gym."
Reality: He had time for 2 Netflix episodes every night.

Week 5: "My genetics are against me."
Reality: His diet resembled that of. a7 year old adult.

Week 7: "I can't give up beer with the boys."
Reality: He was drinking alone most nights.

Here's what hit him hardest:

Every excuse was a lie he'd been telling himself.

The weight wasn't his enemy. His stories were.

Once he saw the truth, everything changed:

• Social scrolling → Walking
• Netflix binges → Cardio
• Solo beers → Sparkling water

The fat melted off. Not because of some magic diet.

But because he finally stopped lying to himself.

Getting in shape is a psychological process disguised as a physical one.

Your biggest weakness isn't your body.

It's the stories you tell yourself about why you can't change.

Drop the stories. Drop the weight.

This one exercise should be mandatory for every desk worker.

I do it every single day. Takes 90 seconds. Fixes 8 hours of damage.

The Cat-Cow stretch.

Here's why it works:

Sitting compresses your spine by 40%. Your discs get squeezed like toothpaste tubes. Blood flow drops. Nerves get pinched.

Cat-Cow reverses all of it:
- Decompresses each vertebra
- Pumps fresh fluid into discs
- Mobilizes your entire spine
- Activates deep core muscles
- Resets your nervous system

The benefits compound:
• Back pain disappears
• Posture improves naturally
• Energy increases (better oxygen flow)
• Focus sharpens (spine-brain connection)
• Stress melts away

How to do it:
1. Get on all fours
2. Arch your back up like a scared cat (exhale)
3. Drop your belly down like a cow (inhale)
4. Flow between them for 10-15 reps

That's it. No equipment. No gym. Just movement.

My 38-year-old client was hobbling around his office due to his bad back. Three weeks of Cat-Cow every morning, and he's feeling pain free.

His chiropractor asked what changed. He laughed and showed him this simple stretch.

The best solutions aren't complicated. Your spine just wants to move how it was designed to move.

Not locked in a chair for a third of your life.

I analyzed the habits of my highest-earning clients. 2 things stood out immediately: 

Exercising and movement are non-negotiables.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

Here's what the data shows:

CEOs who exercise regularly are 12% more productive than sedentary ones.

Walking 8,000+ steps decreases cognitive decline by 51%.

Just 20 minutes of exercise improves decision-making for the next 8 hours.

Richard Branson wakes up at 5 AM to kitesurf.
Tim Cook hits the gym at 4:30 AM.
Mark Cuban does an hour of cardio daily.

They're not doing this because they have time. They're doing it because it CREATES time.

Every hour you invest in movement gives you back two in mental clarity.

Your body is the hardware. Your mind is the software. When the hardware fails, the software crashes.

The average desk worker sits for 6 hours and gets less than 4,000 steps a day. 

The average Fortune 500 CEO? 10,000+ steps and 5 workouts per week.

Success leaves clues. This is one of them.

You can suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret.

Choose wisely.

Some people leave bad jobs.

Others stay for one reason:

🔹 A GOOD MANAGER.

The kind who guides and lifts you up when the system won’t.

And when you find one, it’s not just luck. It’s a blessing.

A good manager changes everything.

They fight for your promotion when you’re not in the room.

They coach instead of criticize.

They celebrate your wins louder than anyone else.

They don’t just manage your work.

They shape your future.

And the ripple effect of their leadership outlives their title.

If you have one, thank them.

If you are one, keep going.

If you lost one, be the kind of leader they taught you to be.

Who’s the best manager you ever had, and what did they do that stuck with you?

When you hire an expert, you're not paying for their time.
 
You're paying for their skill, insight, and experience.

🔹 That expertise wasn’t built overnight.
🔹 It came from years of learning, failures, and breakthroughs.

Want to reach that level? Do this:

✅ Pursue deep knowledge
 ↳ Become the expert who solves problems others can’t.
 ↳ Read, practice deliberately, and never stop learning.

✅ Develop a rare skill set
 ↳ Find what sets you apart—and master it.
 ↳ Build technical expertise and unique insights.

✅ Gain real experience
 ↳ Say yes to hard challenges.
 ↳ They build resilience, wisdom, and confidence.

✅ Build a powerful network
 ↳ Surround yourself with people who push you constantly.
 ↳ A strong network accelerates your expertise and credibility.

✅ Deliver exceptional results
 ↳ Let your work speak for itself.
 ↳ A solid reputation makes you the go-to expert.

The goal? Become the person they seek out.

When you invest in mastery, you stop trading hours.
You offer something far more valuable:

Years of experience, perspective, and insight.

Most creators overthink LinkedIn. But the truth is simple.

And I’m going to show you.

The 3 questions I get the most:
 “What do I post?”
 “How often?”
 “And when’s the best time?”

Let’s break it down

What to post
Don’t chase ideas.
Reuse what you already make.
Your posts on X, IG, or your newsletter can work here too.

Taplio.com makes this even easier.
You can turn any idea into a post.
Shorter. Longer. Different writing tone.
And the post Inspiration tab gives you inspo from 5M+ top posts.

That’s like having a big file that never ends, multiple ideas.

How often to post
Images win.
Carousels come second.
(My go-to is image (mostly cheat sheets) + text. Always works.)

Text length?
Aim for 800–1500 characters.
Short enough to scan.
Long enough to teach.

And posting 3–5 times a week is the best.
It’s consistent but not overwhelming.

When to post
Here’s where timing matters
Tuesday and Wednesday are peak days.
Saturday is good too because fewer people post.

Best hour?
11:00–12:00 UTC.
That’s when engagement spikes

Taplio.com’s scheduler can handle all this for you.
Just set it once and forget it.
Their analytics even adjust the timing based on your audience.
No random guessing.
No stress.

You’re one AI agent away from turning your skills into income.

Most people never know how to monetize their skills.

You already have the expertise.
You already know how to solve real problems.

But you’re leaving money on the table.

Because knowledge doesn’t scale…
Until you build a product.

And AI is the fastest way to do that.

That’s where Appy.AI comes in.

It builds an AI agent that talks, thinks, and responds like you.
 
Appy interviews you.
Learns your exact system.
Builds your branded site.
Connects Stripe for payments.
Gives you a subscription link in minutes.

No coding.
No developers.
No long build cycles.

Who’s already doing it?
 🔹 Coaches selling their frameworks as always-on agents
 🔹 Non-technical founders launching their first MVP
 🔹 Agencies turning audits into paid AI assistants
 🔹 Creators building smart AI products

This is how you turn your skills into a business.
This is how you earn while you sleep.

Your knowledge is powerful.
Appy.AI makes it profitable.

AI just made slide-making 10X easier for you

And it saves hours each week

You don’t need to be a designer anymore.
You just need the right tools.

Gamma dropped an 18-page guide. 

Try it now here → https://lnkd.in/gbr4ydUx

It’s honestly a gold mine for consultants.
Here’s what stood out to me.

It’s simple.
It’s clear.
And the best part is that it WORKS.

AI now builds slides that match your ideas.
No more 2010-style old decks.
No more dragging shapes around.

🔹 It understands your content.
🔹 It gives you clean, pro templates.
🔹 It shares prompts built for consultants.
🔹 It helps you cut deck time in half.

Studies show smart AI tools help to cut creative workload by 40–60%.
That means more time for thinking.
Less time for fixing fonts.

Here’s what I’m doing starting today:

1️⃣ Use structured prompts to get client-ready frameworks
2️⃣ Let AI design the visuals while I focus on insights
3️⃣ Build reusable (reduce time) templates to keep my brand tight

If you ever spent 3 hours on a slide…
When you should’ve been talking to a client…

This is your sign.

Consulting is changing fast.
The winners learn the tools.

Tried any AI slide tools yet? Tell me what helped you most.

Try it for yourself at gamma.app
Or just Google “Gamma Presentations”

Prompts for Consultants

Every great marketer copies → they just copy smarter.

The new Ad Clone turns inspiration into execution in 60 seconds.

I’m gonna be real for a second…

Marketing has always been a remix game.

You see a hook that slaps.
A pacing style that feels too good.
A competitor’s ad that hits ALL the right buttons.
And your brain instantly goes:

 “Damn… I wish I made that.”

Here’s the part nobody says out loud:

Great marketers all copy.
Just smarter, faster, and way more intentionally.

So when I saw what Creatify launched… I was like:

 “Okay yeah… this is literally how the industry already works → just automated.”

Introducing Ad Clone.
It lets you:

 → pick any top-performing ad from the Creatify AI Ad Library
 → swap in your product
 → hit Clone
 → and boom, your own version built on the same winning structure

No storyboards.
No shoots.
No agency delays.
Just pure execution in under 60 seconds.

(Insane.)
If you want to try it too →
