Telling tremendous brand stories with video. Executive Storytelling. Event Capture. Case Studies. Product Demos. Showrunner.

I sold 1000's of Swiss Watches on cruise ships telling 1000's of stories.

Here's what I know;

A great story pulls the prospect to the product.

I knew as a kid I wanted to work in radio. So I spent my entire high school career trying to get into Humber College in Toronto to study broadcasting.  I worked in radio and TV for five years and then one day at a party someone asked, 

"Can you do that radio thing on a stage"?

The next thing I knew I stepped onto a cruise ship in Miami (Yes, I have crazy cruise ship stories. Mind blowing stories) and spent over 10,000 hours presenting products from a stage.  

That's how I became a storyteller.

The thing is people think storytelling is something that's out of their reach.

It's not.

I get why you feel you're not a good storyteller. I hear that everyday.

I've been doing this so long I can make you a great storyteller in 30 minutes.

True story.

I might even pick you up from the airport in my Jeep.

Analyst

YoVo

I was working on Yovo in the background for a while. I learned loads about entrepreneurship working on this project, but ultimately I could never get it off the ground. The idea was simple: 
- resumes are ineffective at screening 
- recruiting calls are filled with human error/bias

Using voice analytics, the plan was to help hiring mangers make smarter decisions by giving an objective look at conversations.

I was able to spin up exciting conversations in the enterprise, but eventually, I decided to focus my time and energy into Sorter.

First Founder Attempt

Healthgrades

Worked with Healthgrades as an initial member of their Elective Provider Solutions team. After building out the initial pipeline for Healthgrades direct sales model. We consulted with heads of marketing for enterprise level specialty practices to help design digital marketing solutions to best utilize Healthgrades.com. 

Tweaking and building upon market insights for our products- we were able to design action oriented campaigns for practices and their physicians. The challenge was not only to create campaigns that would succeed, but to create campaign designs that would sell in a market adverse to change. Through our work we found it was important to help providers:

 1. Make practices and providers more discoverable, 
 2. Increase new patient acquisition, 
 3. Enhance practices and providers' online reputations.

These were the three things we could do most effectively for our clients. 

At Healthgrades, there is a "healthy obsession" with driving a ROI for clients. So by working in concert with our clients, we help maximize their ROI by learning from our current marketing efforts, and making the proper adjustments as needed.

In my tenure there, I was:

•a top revenue producer on my team
•able to uncover optimization strategies not only in product design, but also sales and marketing strategy for both Healthgrades and clients
•built out entirety of the direct sales pipeline
•cultivated relationships with agencies and practices

Healthgrades is backed by Vestar Capital Partners, as is the top site for rating doctors and hospitals. Truly on the cutting edge, it is where America goes to find a doctor.

Manager: Elective Provider Solutions

As a summer sales intern, I served as CEB's first interaction with HR executives. Cold calling on a territory of 100 HR executives, based in firms with annual revenues ranging from 50-750 million dollars, I was able to effectively introduce C-suite executives to CEB's valuable advisory resources. 

As an intern team, we were tasked with helping recruiting with their outreach to prospective employee's. We designed potent marketing material driving the impactful value of one's work at CEB, and the advantages of being a member of CEB's motivated workforce. 

CEB is the leading member-based advisory company. By combining the best practices of thousands of member companies with our advanced research methodologies and human capital analytics, we equip senior leaders and their teams with insight and actionable solutions to transform operations.

HR Leadership Council

Northwestern Mutual

After working to attain my North Carolina Life, Health, and Disability Insurance, I worked with potential clients to develop financial solutions to achieve their desired long-term success. 

This is where I learned my love of sales and marketing, as I saw the impact I was able to have by effectively showing the benefits of Northwestern's Life Insurance products. Through this valuable experience, I was able to drive many never would be customers into the sales pipeline at Northwestern.

Financial Representative

Carrboro Capital

As a summer intern, I evaluated small, rapid-growth businesses in North Carolina for acquisition. I would forecast potential risks for the companies and report a pro/con analysis to my senior managers. 

Also as a summer intern, I was tasked with analyzing financial statements for potential acquisitions. My timing when joining Carrboro Capital was especially advantageous, as I witnessed the acquisition of the local retailer Southern Season.

Private Equity Summer Analyst

Kidder Properties

Working for the four employee (including myself) start up Kidder Properties, I was able to effectively work cross-functionally with a litany of responsibilities that wouldn't have otherwise been given to a person of my age and experience. 

In my first summer with Kidder, I assisted in the analysis and acquisition of approximately 50 foreclosure homes. Comparing acquisition costs and renovation costs with the projected income from renting and ultimately selling the home, I was able to produce ROI reports. After openly discussing the tangibles and intangibles of these potential assets with my supervisor and the CEO, we would come up with a judgment for the perspective home. 

In my second summer, my focus shifted to the operational side of the business helping to reduce costs and improve the overall quality of the rental properties we provided. After analyzing the past performances of different purchased assets, I would determine if budget changes needed to be made to improve the long-term quality and therefore profitability of the home. Also in my final summer with Kidder, I helped train and coach a successor to take my place.

Cofounder @ Lavender | Cold Email Agents Powered by Deep Research, Reasoning, and Billions of Analyzed Sales Emails

Sellers, your competitors' cold emails use psychology to open the doors you can't. Here's 12 principles to help you catch up  (+ 1 bonus)

1) Cognitive overload: 
--> too much, I'm out

2) Heuristic substitution:
--> hard question? what does this say?
--> easy question? what does this look like?

3) Loss aversion
--> Missing out on > What I'll gain
--> Competition is doing X > 69% more X

4) Reciprocity:
--> "They put effort in. I should give back."

5) Cognitive Miser:
--> Mental Shortcuts
--> "Oh, this is a sales email. Skip."

6) Confirmation Bias:
--> "Oh, it's an AISDR. I know what this means."

7) Ambiguity Aversion
--> Unclear = No Action
--> Concrete Understanding = Action

8) Friction Avoidance
--> Big Ask = Little Action
--> Little Ask = More Action

9) The Von Restorff Effect
--> The most different item gets remembered
--> Word choice can make you memorable

10) Attentional Bias
--> We selectively focus on what priority *now*

11) The Mum Effect
--> We don't want bad news shared w/ our boss.

12) Reactance
--> You push, they pull away

BONUS: Power Conservation Theory
--> Status quo maintenance by those in charge

Pop these into the chatgpt modal in your Lavender Email coach. Use them to critique your current emails, brain storm some new ideas.
