Writer | Marketer | Former Contributor at Forbes

Hi, I’m Dan! 👋

I typically spend my days buried in a booth at a local coffee shop. Ideas flow best with a cup of coffee in one hand and a bagel in the other.

I've spent the last nine years helping brands like Forbes, Entrepreneur, Foundr, Google, Capital One, and SAP connect with audiences through meaningful, memorable content. I've also served as a marketing mentor for programs like the UCCS Scale to $1M Bootcamp, RMMFI, and MicroMentor. 

I now lead content marketing at Bryant Park Consulting, helping clients ditch the chaos and build businesses that run smoother with smarter strategy and tech.

Off the clock, I'm either spending time with my wife, chasing two little kids, or finding new ways to shank a golf ball.

Yesterday was a milestone for me. I hosted the first pop-up for my new brand, Turco, in a rainy but vibrant Porto.

Coming from the tech world, stepping into the kitchen for a live operation was a completely different beast. The pace is relentless, the challenges are physical, and the feedback is instant. But serving over 50+ people and bringing the community together on a stormy Saturday reminded me why I love building things from scratch.

Here are my key takeaways from this experiment:
• Operational Reality Check: Moving from lines of code to a fast-paced kitchen is a humbling experience. Efficiency is not just a metric; it's the difference between a happy guest and a long wait.

• Fueling Innovation: Stepping out of my comfort zone and into the culinary world has surprisingly reignited the spark and excitement in my core tech projects. Sometimes, to move forward in one industry, you need to challenge yourself in another.

• Community is Everything: Despite the weather, seeing people connect over food was the ultimate reward.

Entrepreneurship is about solving problems, whether they are behind a screen or over a hot grill. I’m exhausted but deeply motivated to keep building, experimenting, and scaling.

Big thanks to everyone who braved the rain and joined the journey. This is just the beginning for Turco!

I just spent 3 full days in Terceira, and it was the perfect reset. It wasn't just a trip; it was a powerful blend of exploring breathtaking landscapes, brainstorming fresh ideas, and staying productive.

I returned yesterday feeling stronger, recharged, and completely refreshed. Sometimes, a change of environment is the best way to spark innovation and gain a new perspective.

This incredible view is from Monte Brasil, nature at its finest!

Last year, I decided to follow a long-standing passion and enrolled in a Culinary Arts program in Porto. While I completed the first 3 months and gained foundational skills, life and my tech ventures meant I couldn't continue the full program at the time. But the fire was lit.

Fast forward to today: I am officially merging my world of technology with my love for Turkish cuisine. 

This Saturday, March 14th, I’m hosting my first official Turco Porto pop-up in Porto, and I decided to treat it like a startup launch.

The Tech Stack: On March 8th (International Women's Day), inspired by a free credit offer from Lovable, I started building a custom order and management tool. With the help of Cursor, I’ve turned it into a fully functional platform from inventory management to integrated online payments. 

The "Open Data" Twist: In the spirit of the "Build in Public" movement, I’m launching an open dashboard. Guests and followers will be able to see real-time orders and the actual profit/loss of the event. I want to show the raw reality of food entrepreneurship and how technology can make it more streamlined and transparent. 

Why am I doing this? Because I believe the future of food is data-driven and community-focused. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a tech enthusiast, or just someone who loves a legendary Köfte Ekmek, mezze, or Çiğ Köfte, I’d love to see you there.

Where: Atlas Restaurant, Porto 
When: Saturday, March 14th
Time: 15:00 - 19:00

Let’s talk tech, transparency, and tradition, one plate at a time.

For the past few weeks, I’ve been trying to attend 351 Portuguese Startup Association’s Coworking Thursdays regularly again.

Three years ago, when I had just moved to this city and this country, it was one of the first communities I became actively involved in. Back then, I was probably one of the most consistent attendees. Then life and work happened, I took a break… and now I’m back on the field.

What I appreciate most isn’t just the coworking itself. It’s those in-between moments, grabbing food, casual conversations, spontaneous discussions that unexpectedly open new doors, perspectives, and collaborations.

Being around a dynamic, entrepreneurial, and action-oriented crowd always adds something. Energy is contagious.

Big thanks to the organizers and all the volunteers who make this happen every week. Communities don’t build themselves, people build them.

See you next Thursday 👋

Stop managing your B2B partnerships in 2005

Partnerships are the ultimate growth lever, yet most teams manage them through a fragmented mess of spreadsheets, broken email threads, and overpriced legacy tools that take 6 months to onboard.

At TechSales GTM Studio, we decided to fix this.

I am beyond excited to announce the private beta of our first product: The all-in-one Partnership OS that replaces spreadsheet chaos with total clarity and 0% commission.

Coming this March, we are moving beyond "tools" and building a command center for modern B2B teams building affiliate and reseller networks.

Why Scaleups? Most PRMs charge you for your success through commission fees or "per-seat" pricing that punishes growth. We’re doing the opposite. We’ve stripped away the noise to focus on the four pillars of a high-growth ecosystem:

🔺 Discovery & Recruitment: Access 275M+ prospects via Apollo integration or let partners find you through your own branded directory.

🔺Collaborative Growth: Stop the "Email Tag." Use shared Deal Rooms to manage leads and launch Content Missions that turn your partners into a social media army.

🔺 Operational Clarity: AI-enriched partner profiles and automated pipelines. Move from "Applied" to "Active" in minutes, not weeks.

🔺 Financial Freedom: A full affiliate suite with link tracking and automated payouts—all with 0% platform commission. You scale, you keep the revenue.

The March Beta: Join the Inner Circle We aren't just looking for users; we’re looking for Founding Partners.

We are hand-picking a select group of B2B teams for our March launch. If you’re ready to delete your spreadsheets and run your program on solid ground, now is the time to secure your spot.

Let’s bring clarity back to partnerships.

Outreach isn’t luck, it’s strategy.

Our SDRs send highly targeted messages directly to founders in the markets we carefully select for TechSales GTM Studio services. The results speak for themselves:

• Connection rate: 45%
• Message reply rate: 31%

And we’re not even talking about meetings yet.

The takeaway: everything is possible if your outreach is structured, personalized, and consistent. Craft your messages right, and cold outreach turns into real conversations.

Look at the "Monthly Management Fee" line. What do you see? 

It says: €0 / Month. (Waived).

In an industry obsessed with high retainers, we obsess over results.
At TechSales GTM Studio, we use this live calculator in our meetings to align on a budget that makes sense for you.

We look at your average deal size and close rate to reverse-engineer the perfect setup:
1️⃣ We calculate the tool costs (transparently). 
2️⃣ We determine the "Price per Qualified Meeting." 
3️⃣ We show you the "Estimated Monthly Investment" vs. "Expected Revenue."

If the math doesn't show a positive ROI context, we don't pitch.
We don't want your retainer. We want you to close deals.

If AI is doing everything, what are we actually doing?

At GTM Studio, we’ve reached a point where the traditional "grunt work" of Go-to-Market is becoming history:

• ICP & Personas? AI analyzes it in seconds.
• Targeting & Lists? AI identifies the best leads with surgical precision.
• Messaging? AI writes hyper-personalized copy at scale.
• Automation? It runs like clockwork while you sleep.

The promise is simple: Sit back and relax. 

But it raises a fair question: If AI does the heavy lifting, why do you still need a studio/agency? Why do we exist in this loop?

Because while AI is a world-class "Executor," it is a terrible "Decision Maker."

Here is why the human element is more valuable now than ever:

1. The Strategic Architect: AI can give you 100 paths, but it doesn't know which one aligns with your long-term vision. We build the roadmap; AI just fuels the engine.

2. Curation Over Creation: In a world of infinite AI content, the "human filter" is your competitive advantage. We ensure your brand doesn't sound like a bot talking to another bot.

3. The "Empathy Gap": AI simulates personas, but it doesn't understand human nuance, cultural shifts, or the "gut feeling" of a market pivot.

4. Operational Safety: AI hallucinates. We provide the "Seatbelt" that ensures your outreach remains professional, compliant, and high-converting.

The Reality: We aren't just "doing" the work anymore. We are the AI Orchestra Conductors.

Our job at GTM Studio is to take the noise of automated tools and turn it into a symphony of growth. We free you from the operational tax so you can focus on what matters: Closing deals and scaling your vision.

Technology is the tool. Strategy is the edge. 
How are you balancing AI automation with the human touch in your GTM strategy? Let’s discuss below!

Stop burning cash on CAC. Start weaponizing your NRR.

The era of "Growth at any cost" is officially dead. In 2026, the real winners aren't the ones with the biggest sales teams, they are the ones with the happiest customers.

We’ve realized something critical: Your existing customers are 10x more effective at selling your product than any cold outreach campaign.

But most companies treat customer advocacy and NRR expansion as a "side project" managed in messy spreadsheets or forgotten CRM notes.

We are building a way to turn your CRM data into a high-octane customer sales engine.

Imagine: 
📍 Automatically identifying "Happy" advocates based on CRM signals. 
📍Launching "Expansion Missions" the moment a customer hits a usage milestone. 
📍Turning referrals into a frictionless, 0-commission growth loop.

We’re pivoting our focus to solve the NRR puzzle once and for all. But first, I want to hear from the builders and leaders in my network.

Vote in the poll below, and let's discuss in the comments.
