I have some ambitious goals for social growth in 2026. 
Here are the channels I’m betting on:


# 1 - YouTube

I currently have 1.63k subs at https://lnkd.in/eH_vX5rC

By the end of the year I want to have 10,000 + hit 4000 hours of watch time on my long form content. 

It's a BHAG but I'm here for it. 



# 2 - LinkedIn 

LinkedIn is still THE platform for business content. 

Beyond that, I've worked hard to build a community here. 

I will continue to invest in LinkedIn with a goal of growing to 65,000 subs (25% increase). 

I've also made some investments in my LinkedIn newsletter and would like to see that grow to 12,500 subs (also 25% uptick). 

Subscribe to my weekly newsletter here: Subscribe on LinkedIn https://lnkd.in/gDXepd4P


# 3 - Instagram

# 4 - Beehiv Sales Success Newsletter (my owned email newsletters)

# 5 - TikTok 

I'm going to be rolling out a few new series and tap back into having fun on TikTok. 

I share enough series content everywhere else, I can be silly on TikTok + it's what the people want. 


# 6 - Threads

# 7 - Twitter 

# 8 - Substack 

# 9 - Quora 

In 2016, I was a Top Question Writer for Quora (see the picture for proof). 

I got my very own Patagonia laptop satchel and an invitation to their Top Writer Meetup in Mountain View, CA. 

The platform made some monetization and content structure changes that made it almost unbearable so I left for many years, but 

I'M BACK BABY. 

They've worked through their growth pains and I'm dialed in on AEO strategy so Quora will be a key part of that plan. 


# 10 - Colin Stewart-Perreault 🧙insists that I have a Facebook account so I will begrudgingly add another Meta product in the 10th spot. 



👉  so you might have just reviewed this list and be thinking to yourself - 

Yea, so that's insane. 

And you would be correct. 



HOWEVER, I do not do this by myself. 

I focus on learning, thinking, operating and writing great content. 

Then I have a full team of partners an freelancers that help me bring it life. 

I have folks that edit my youtube videos for me, that create clips for my content, that format my newsletters and make the Canva banners. 

I have a team that helps me collaborate with brand partners. 

I have robust Claude prompts built into projects to help me ideate and plan. 

I schedule all of my content on every platform except threads where I just share shower thoughts. 



So, yea, it is insane, but it is also my passion, my calling to share all of his wisdom + I have a great team that helps make it possible. 



📌  Besides LinkedIn, what is your favorite platform for business content right now?

The Sour GTM SaaS Takes Podcast

Founder & Podcast Host

Ascent Conference

I handle all things production. My primary focus is on aligning our sales, customer success, product, and marketing teams so that we can host the best invite-only B2B SaaS events for the C-Suite. We throw in-person and virtual events, I make sure they run smoothly and that our sponsors get ROI.

Vice President of Audience Development & Partnerships

Responsible for my own pipeline. Prospecting is a key strength of mine. In 1 month I set 35 meetings, breaking the previous record by 5. I closed 6 deals within a 3 month span with no prior account executive experience. I used salesforce as my CRM, apollo as my sales engagement platform, and LinkedIn as my prospecting tool. I love closing deals in the most efficient way possible. Having a modern tech stack is a requirement these days.

Full Cycle Account Executive

As VP of Audience Development I am responsible for driving innovative, actionable and efficient digital marketing campaigns that build awareness and drive traffic to support the growth of our business -- content, subscriptions, and events.

From the ground up, I have built, hired, trained, and lead a high-performing team of digitally-savvy marketers to support the strategic goals of the business. 

I develop and manage paid and organic marketing programs (paid search, SEO, Facebook, display, among others) for all platforms and products. 

I evaluate, hire, and develop relationships with existing and new platforms, partners and vendors; review, recommend, and manage tools, services, and vendors. 

I manage email marketing initiatives for the company and develop/deliver regular and ongoing reports on program performance.

I report directly to our CEO and manage a team of 10. I enjoy the challenge of working with others towards a common goal. My team is everything to me. Without them, Ascent would be nothing more than a dream.

VP of Audience Development

I’m in charge of the audience development team. I make sure our events are packed with key decision makers from companies with $20-$500 million in ARR. When you come to an Ascent event you will leave with insights that are impactful and useful. Our events are limited to Directors, VPs, and C-Level executives. Interested in attending an event of ours? Reach out and I’ll have my team take care of you. We pride ourselves on being a white glove service.

Senior Digital Marketing & Business Development Manager

Responsible for planning, developing, implementing and managing the overall digital marketing strategy. 

In addition, I hire, manage, guide, and train digital marketers and other marketing positions in the team.

I lead by example. By constantly going outside my comfort zone to tackle unique goals, the team realizes you are never too good to not put the work in. 

My goal is to create and run digital campaigns that are organized, resilient, and impactful.

A company’s brand and image is everything.

Digital Marketing Manager

Investor Summit

I make sure our event team is running smoothly by setting up proven work flows and strategies.

Director of Audience & Business Development  

Work with Investor Summit's Marketing team to drive qualified investors and issuers to their micro/small cap conferences. Investor Summit has 100+ Micro/Small Cap companies present to investors each quarter, in hopes that these companies receive investments from smart investors who have experience growing micro/small cap companies.

Senior Digital Marketing Manager 

Astor Investment Management LLC

Research & Marketing Associate

Senior Intern/ Consultant to CEO

Junior Intern

School District U-46

Help run Bartlett High School men’s basketball camp since 2017. In 2019 I took a job at Astor Investment Management which led to me having a smaller role in the summer camp. I now dedicate my time to the camp for free and train highschool athletes on the side. I enjoy being a role model and an advocate for the phrase, “if you work hard things will work out in the end.” This position and experience transformed me into a better leader. From listens to my players personal problems to driving them home after practice, I learned players only buy Into the system as much as their coach/ boss does. My process is simple... I create a set of standards, I hold those standards up for all my players to meet, and hold myself to an even higher standard. For example, if I say you have to be at practice 15 minutes before it starts then I’ll make sure to be there 30 minutes ahead. You have to be vulnerable as a coach. You have to be sincere. Kids, especially teenagers, see through coaches that do not mean what they say. Every player is different and knowing how to push each player is essential to the teams overall success.

Basketball Coach

Lake Forest College

Helped students increase their knowledge on economic concepts and theories. Boosted my creativity, increased my negotiation and mediation skills, and helped me become a better critical thinker.

Macro and Micro Economics Tutor

Ameex Technologies

This job sparked my passion for helping companies grow and create innovative revenue sources through implementing marketing strategies that increase brand awareness and brand identity. I help take the stress off a hard working sales teams by implementing a strategy that focuses on website development, active social media management, paid  SEO, and restructuring of the marketing team/process. This all makes the process of relaying information to prospects and clients easy and efficient. I take pride in helping mid and small market clients optimize their digital IT spend. 

Ameex is a digital technology solution and delivery expert that’s helped businesses improve enrollments, conversions, and sales by implementing correct content, commerce, user experience, and next generation digital strategies.

Digital Solutions & Sales Representative Intern

Community, Social Media & Events Expert | Host of The Sour GTM SaaS Takes Show

A seasoned professional in community development, strategic partnerships, and digital marketing, I excel in fostering engagement and driving growth.

Currently, I'm a Community, Events, & Social Media Manager at SalesIntel. My focus is on creating and executing unique community campaigns that drive brand awareness, brand loyalty, and revenue.

In my free time, I am a basketball coach and am the "cool" uncle. I live life everyday to the fullest.

Prior to SalesIntel, I was a VP of Audience Development at Ascent Conference. I orchestrated successful in-person and virtual events, which involved some of biggest names and companies in the SaaS industry.

Previously, as Director of Audience Development, I achieved a remarkable 20% decrease in audience churn rates due to throwing higher quality events. I placed a huge importance on building out a humanized attendee journey. 

In my role as Director of Sales, I managed a team 5 and sold along side them. Together, leveraged SaaS tools like SalesIntel, Apollo, Salesforce, Hubspot, Slack, Docusign, Canva, and more to surpass sales quotas.

As a Director of Sales & Marketing at Investor Summit Group, I helped startups find seed and series a money through hosting digital pitch events. 

On top of pitching to a room of credible investors, I would curate 5-10 meetings for them. The business went from breaking even to becoming profitable. Happy customers led to more happy customers and less churn. Quality over Quantity.
