I am the VP of Memes of memelord.com
 
It is my job to keep up with the latest memes even if I don’t understand what the f**k it means

Shoutout to all Zoomers you successfully conquered the world with memes

POV you're 10 minutes into a Zoom meeting

Making chaos in London with memelord.com meme stickers

A little crude here but need to say it out loud

There are tons of new startups who actively using "ragebait" to gain attention.

I think it's a bad vibe move in the long term

Ourposely using ragebaits for marketing because of "distribution" and "attention is everything" is like taking off your pants and doing the helicopter in front of your future in-laws

Sure you got attention but at what long term cost?

The better way is to "laughbait" instead.

Post entertaining and funny things that make someone's day better.

Make memes and share it. This is why I love working at memelord.com.

It's my job to make people laugh, and help them make others laugh.

So the PSA is: Don't be a d*ck. Be funny instead.

We are an agency broker helping growing companies find the right digital marketing partner to hire.

Today I step away from the title of CEO at EditorNinja. I'll always be the founder, but with the acquisition by Proofed, it's time for me to step away to focus on my coaching business .

The last 3 years have been amazing. An incredible team, a super fun and fast-moving space to operate in, 15m+ words edited, 287 articles written, 170+ clients and customers served, a bit over $1m in gross revenue.

When I sold Credo in 2022, I had no idea I was so burnt out. But I knew I needed a change, and EditorNinja was that change.

Credo was a head-level business for me. When I got laid off in 2015, I moved onto it quickly because I thought it could work, and it was convenient to work on. And I was right - we did over $3.5m in revenue in the next 7 years, generated $250m+ in leads, and helped agencies make over $50m in new revenue. But as I grew and changed, the business ceased to be in alignment with me.

EditorNinja, on the other hand, was a heart-level business for me. I've always loved writing. I love the craft. I love the power of the written word, how words can move you. In the marketing world, they're a powerful way to share ideas. I also loved working with our amazing team of weird, creative, brilliant humans who did amazing work for our clients. To be honest, these people are who I'll miss the most. EditorNinja gave me the space to heal, to step into a new business with a new abundance-focused energy, and the freedom to be a great parent and partner for my family all along the way.

Coaching is soul-level work for me. I love supporting entrepreneurs as they navigate the rollercoaster of building a business that they love. I've been joking with people that I'm half strategist and half therapist. Holding space for others as they navigate very real challenges is a privilege, and helping them out with better strategies and tactics that I've battle tested over the years is just icing on the cake.

A hearty huge incredible thanks to Sophia Beratta for being my right hand and rock at work for so many years. I am a better human because of you. I'm always in your corner.

A huge thanks too to Rose H. Bennett Kosma Robby Gotschall Laura Cherry Beth Wade Sam Watanuki Heron Kennedy and so many more. You truly made EditorNinja what it was. And a big thank you to Kiran Chauhan Adam Harvey and Tom Stimfield for being amazing to work with as we closed this deal and have worked on the transition.

The brand lives on with Proofed. Most of the editorial team has joined them as well. They are all in amazing hands.

Thank you, EditorNinja.

I teach expert solopreneurs and owners of “very small agencies” (VSAs) how to double their business in the next year. Create more leads, profit, freedom, and impact. $5m in sales, 2 agency exits.

𝐈'𝐦 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐞.

Tl;dr - I sold EditorNinja. If you’re an expert solopreneur or micro agency owner, I have something exciting for you coming up.

Every Thursday night in college, I played poker with a group of guys from an organization I was involved in. There were nights I made enough to cover my rent for the next month, and nights I lost my buy-in.

I like to think I made more good bets than bad ones. The results say that’s probably true.

Today, I’m making another bet.

I’ve long said that someday, I’ll coach agency owners. I’ve done pretty well so far in business, but I know there are a few more good flops, turns, and rivers in me (poker terms). 

Today, I can announce that EditorNinja has been acquired by Proofed, our most direct competitor. 

Why did I do this?

Because I finally decided to bet on myself. Because I finally realized that my experience building and exiting 2 agencies, selling $5m+ in services, and already mentoring hundreds of agencies actually means something. 

I’ve realized that I love coaching. I love walking alongside others as they build the business, whether that’s a super profitable solopreneur business or agency, of their dreams. 

I also realized that I don’t love having my own agency with a lot of headcount. Back in April, EditorNinja had 19 heads. Most were contractors, but still, 19 heads.

It’s not that I can’t run an org that size. It’s that I’m electing not to, because I don’t want to. But I love supporting those who do want to, and more.

I’m still working out my positioning, but I know one thing - the “scale to $Xm, set your agency up to sell, work less” messaging doesn’t resonate with me. We’ll do that, but that’s not the vibe I want to create.

I’m your trail buddy, your accountability partner, half strategist half therapist. I care about your business, but I also care about you, the owner.

If you’re tired of trying to find the path on your own, or want someone to walk with you on the path you’ve found, I’m your guy.

I’ve been working with clients 1:1 since July, and will continue to do so, but the bigger news is that I’m launching my first group mastermind in January to help solopreneurs and small agency owners become the business owner who can confidently grow their business. 

If you’re tired of figuring things out yourself, being stressed about your business instead of it freeing you to do great work, and want 2026 to finally be the year that you make meaningful progress towards your business goals, and want to do it sanely and profitably and with the support network you need, let’s chat.

Sign up to my newsletter here - https://lnkd.in/g-YupQCV. I’ll tell you more over the coming weeks and if it makes sense, let’s have a chat.

I’m the business coach that expertise-driven founders call when they’re ready to build the service business that lets them generate more leads, profit, freedom, and impact. 4x founder, 2 agency exits.

EditorNinja Announces Acquisition by Proofed, Marking a New Chapter for Its Clients and the Future of Editorial Support - EditorNinja

**Amazing talent alert**

Folks, this kind of talent doesn’t come along very often.With the EditorNinja acquisition, our long-time Head of Operations Sophia Beratta is available for a new full-time position. 

Let me tell you about her and why you should hire her.

Sophia came into my world in 2021, when I was looking for a new Executive Assistant at my company (at the time) Credo. She had been working at a bridal shop, and wanted to make the shift online. When she started in September of 2021, it was immediately obvious that I had made the right hire.

A year later, when I sold Credo, she went with Credo and got amazing experience working within a much larger organization. A year and change later, she came to work for me full-time at EditorNinja as our Head of Operations.

She revolutionized our operations and account management, took the lead on hiring the talent we needed to deliver our service, and generally kept the trains running on time. With her on board, we 3x'd the business and doubled customer retention and lifetime value. I couldn't have done it without her.

She’s a joy to work with, and has my highest recommendation for any operations, accounts, or even Chief of Staff type of roles. She has 4+ years in boutique digital and larger agencies, so she'd be a real asset for that kind of company!

Happy to connect you with her directly if you DM me!

Most of my coaching leads now come through ChatGPT or Claude.

The conversion funnel goes like this:
- discover me on an LLM
- go to the coaching page on my website
- go to my Instagram and consume a bunch of content
- schedule a Strategy Session

Discovery has changed. Once you’re discovered, you have to build trust fast (bingeable is what I’ve heard it called), and then give them a good way to contact you.

If you’re not producing visual content that people can binge, you’re going to have a hard time in 2026.

I went to an auto dealership today.

I’m getting myself mentally and physically in the space of owning my dream car.

But when we walked in and were looking, no one even approached us.

Not one “that’s a nice ride, huh?” Zero engagement.

We looked. We opened some doors. I sat in one. I showed my daughter some of the features.

Then we walked out. No “thanks for coming in,” nothing.

I’ll buy that car in the next year, and probably my wife will get a new car too, from the same brand.

But I won’t buy from that dealership. I’ll go to the one near my house or a different one in our city.

Because they didn’t treat me like a human.

Let this be a reminder to you - even if they’re not a buyer right now, that doesn’t mean they’re not in the future, even the near future. 

These sales people lost a lot in future commissions. Because I will have this car, and I’ll go to the person who treats me like a human.

I’m on my way to Austin to spend 4 days with a mastermind group that I pay $18,000 a year to be part of.

And it’s worth 10x every penny.

If the rooms you’re in are full of beginners and tire kickers who can’t sort out their shit, maybe it’s time to ask why.

It's sad to me that the only time people openly state what they're grateful for is just before tucking into their Thanksgiving meal.

Here's something I've learned this year - it takes less effort to be grateful and thankful than it does to be negative.

When you're grateful, you get the good feelings which carry through to the rest of your day, and you open yourself up to good things to come.

When you're negative, it stays with you all day and robs you of your joy, and you're closed to good things.

During this Thanksgiving week, I encourage you to spend more time being grateful, and to catch yourself when you're about to be negative so that you can stop it.

If you're interested, here's the gratitude practice I've observed for the last 6 months or so, and it's literally changed my life.

As a business owner, a lot of our time is spent “not working” in the traditional sense.

Our problems are different from what IC employees deal with.

Walking can be productive because movement is shown to help get clarity on problems.

Sitting at a coffee shop can be working because the white noise around is conducive to creativity.

Sitting and staring at spreadsheets is how we work out profit and utilization issues.

This is why the shift from IC, even a freelancer, to owning a business is so hard.

The work is different, but it’s no less challenging or meaningful.
