Million-dollar verbal carpentry | Copywriting & messaging strategy that has earned our clients $8M+ in sales and $4M+ in capital.

I still regret not trusting myself earlier in my career.

Let me explain...

I’ve been writing my whole life.

Not in the ‘fell out of the womb clutching a Moleskine’ kind of way — just in the obsessive, all-consuming, borderline embarrassing kind of way.

Poems. Fan fiction. Blog posts I still pray never resurface. Song lyrics. Letters to my parents, my best friend, and yes… the Queen. (She replied).

But when it came time to choose a career, I didn’t call myself a writer.

I called myself an advertising exec.
Then a digital marketer.
Then a social media strategist.
Eventually, a copy & contentwriter — but only in lowercase and only if someone asked directly.

Because somewhere along the way, I absorbed a story that shaped everything: 
Writing wasn’t real work.
It wasn’t safe.
It wasn’t serious.
It wasn’t something you could trust with your future.

I was scared of being the “starving artist”
Scared of being too soft. Too much. Too honest.
Scared that if I actually told the truth — about what I saw, what I felt, what I believed — people would stop listening.

So I built an entire career writing every single day, while hiding behind more "acceptable" titles.

And I didn’t even realise I was doing it.

Because that’s how self-censorship works.
It’s quiet. Familiar. It sounds like professionalism.
It looks like strategy.

And yet it leaves you disconnected from the very thing that makes your work powerful: your voice.

Most people that think they have a copy problem actually have a truth problem.

They’ve been told to write for the algorithm, not for their audience
To say the thing that sells, not the thing that matters
To be consistent, polished, “on-brand” — but never real

They’ve built whole businesses, brilliant offers, visionary work — while diluting their sharpest ideas.
Editing out their actual opinions.
Trimming their voice to fit what’s palatable, digestible, marketable.

That’s where I come in.

I help people say the thing they’ve been scared to say —
in a way that moves, matters... and sells.

I work with entrepreneurs, creative teams, writers and founders who are ready to stop performing and start communicating with clarity, conviction and actual creative power.

When we work together, you’ll:

Reclaim the parts of your voice you’ve been taught to tone down.
Share ideas that make people stop scrolling — and start trusting.
Build a strategy around self-expression, not self-censorship.
Take the things that make you weird / brilliant / niche / intense — and turn them into your advantage.

This is where your most powerful work begins.

CEO at GO! Coaching | Helping 10,000+ growth-minded loan officers win in business and life

Sales saved my life. 

In 1985, my parents and I emigrated Iran for better opportunities in the United States. 

We left everything and everyone. 

My mom could not get a job at McDonald’s and my Father was earning $3.75 an hour as a shoe salesman. 

We lived in a 600 sq foot apartment and moved multiple times and by the age of 14, I was working. 

I started off as a car porter and janitor and then learned how to market and rent apartments and then eventually sell cars (all by the age of 18).

School was not my thing. 

I barely graduated high school (1.7 GPA). 

I dropped out of college. 

I became a telemarketer for a small mortgage brokerage 

I made over 50,000+ cold calls and quickly became the top telemarketer in the country. 

English is my second language, but sales is my first language. 

I became BUY-lingual. 

At the age of 25, I purchased my first property: a 17-unit apartment building for $1M that I still own today and amassed 100 units before ever leaving my parents home. 

As a residential loan officer, I’ve also personally funded over $1B in home loan volume and $100M+ yearly from 2019 to 2022 alone. 

As a Co-Founder and CEO of GO! Coaching, we achieved 8 figure yearly revenue within four years of inception (all through impacting hundreds of careers). 

Not bad for an immigrant kid from Iran. 

Selling is the most important skill you must seek. 

Understanding how to illustrate your value verbally, visually and textually, will open doors you won’t believe. 

And I’m walking proof.  

And if you’ve read this far, I have a promise for you: 

Every day, I will share one specific business gem to help you think better, do better, and to be better.  

I do, I learn, I share. 

Let's win together. 

🤜🤛

This guy was an old high school friend, so it could've gotten ugly. But instead:

1. He brought me that deal without even putting it on the open market. It was extremely easy to close.

2. The cashflow from that property saved my mortgage business in the 2008 financial crises.

3. Today, it's worth millions more than what I paid for it. It's a gift that keeps on giving and giving.

Not every act of kindness will lead to a deal.

Obviously.

And that's not why we're kind to people.

But it's a great little bonus.
