No-BS advice on digital presence, web design & AI for coaches and personal brands | Founder, BrandLauncher.co & Icebreaker.Agency

I build digital brands for coaches, consultants, and personal brand businesses.

The path:
- Started freelancing 2016 (self-taught web design/dev)
- Dropped out junior year to run my own agency
- Traveled 35+ countries as a digital nomad
- Launched Icebreaker Agency 2021 → 300+ projects across industries
- Launched BrandLauncher 2025 → focused exclusively on personal brands

Why personal brands?
Kept seeing the same pattern: incredible coaches with weak digital presence leaving money on the table.

What I focus on:
→ Web design that actually converts (not just looks nice)
→ AI & automation that saves time without feeling robotic
→ Brand positioning that justifies premium pricing
→ What works vs what's trendy

My research with founders revealed a big blind spot.
(Explains why productized websites often fail independently)

I’ve seen this happen over and over in coaching, consulting 
and service businesses:

A founder launches a “perfect” website package.
They’ve nailed the design process.
They’ve built frameworks, templates, and tools.

And… almost no one buys.

Here’s the truth:
The solution isn’t the problem.
The starting point is.

People don’t buy frameworks or templates.
They buy relief from expensive headaches.

So instead of leading with what you’ve built, try this:

a) Find a problem worth solving
↳ Before packaging anything, ensure 
it’s a problem people actually want fixed.

b) Follow the money
↳ You can’t charge $5,000 to solve a $500 problem.
↳ Look for pain points that cost clients real money.

c) Build around the pain, not your process
↳ Once you understand the problem deeply, 
your solution becomes the obvious bridge to relief.

The frameworks, templates, and systems you’ve built?

Still valuable.
They just need context.

Stop leading with your solution.

Start by becoming the go-to expert for an expensive, urgent problem.
