I help Agency Owners, Coaches, and Consultants Join the Top 1% on LinkedIn in 90 Days to Earn High-Ticket Clients | Feat. in Forbes | 500+ clients | 2x D1 Basketball Conference Champion

You’ve built something real.

A company. A career. A reputation that took years to earn.

But even the most accomplished leaders face one problem:

Their story isn’t reaching the people it could impact most.

That’s where I come in.

I help C-suite Executives, Founders, Authors, and Speakers turn their ideas, experiences, and wisdom into growth content that builds authority, trust, and opportunity on LinkedIn.

Before ghostwriting for top leaders, I was behind the scenes too, working 60-hour weeks on a $22,500 salary with UConn Men’s Basketball. 

In 2020, I took a risk, bet on myself, and went all-in on a small Instagram page I was building called Unleash The Knowledge.That single step changed everything.

Five years later, that brand has grown to nearly 200,000 followers, and I now run a multi–six-figure business helping professionals communicate their value online.

Since then, I’ve partnered with 500+ clients, including:

• Rick Ross, Grammy-nominated Rapper
• Jim McKelvey, Co-Founder of Square
• Kara Goldin, Founder of HINT Water
• Terry Virts, NASA Astronaut

Each project has one goal: to help leaders like you articulate the wisdom you’ve earned, and amplify it through powerful storytelling.

If you’re ready to turn your experience into influence, here are three ways to start:

1. Follow me for daily insights on storytelling, strategy, and influence.

2. Get my 30 Free Templates to create client-attracting content in under an hour. (DM me "TEMPLATES")

3. Done-For-You LinkedIn Growth: My team and I handle everything, from strategy to content, so you can grow your audience, authority, and deal flow. (Book A Call Through My Featured Section)

Let’s make your ideas impossible to ignore.

Most B2B founders / C-suite don’t need more leads.

They need their market to trust them before the first call.

If prospects aren’t referencing your posts…
If no one says, “I saw what you wrote about X…”
If your authority only exists inside private conversations…

You’re invisible to the wider market.

And invisibility makes sales harder than they need to be.

The real leading indicator of growth isn’t inbound volume.

It’s prospects quoting you back to yourself on sales calls.

If you’re building something meaningful and want the right people to know about it

Comment “LEVERAGE.”

I’ll reach out personally and walk you through how we position founders and C-suite so prospects enter sales conversations already bought in.

I help founders turn LinkedIn into a deal-flow asset through CEO-level positioning + storytelling

3 new leaders decided to work with us this month.

2 former NFL athletes. 
1 empowerment leader.

All grounded in their faith.

When you stay obedient to your calling and committed to your craft, doors open.

The Lord always provides.

Most experts are vitamins.
But buyers only pay for painkillers.

I just got off a call with a highly accomplished executive.

Global experience.
Strong content.
Consistent posting.

She told me:

“My audience is growing.”
“People say I’m inspiring.”
“…but it’s not converting.”

And honestly, she’s not alone.

This is where a lot of smart, credible people get stuck.

They become vitamins:

Helpful. Insightful. Respected.

But not urgent.

The shift is simple (but not easy):

You have to get painfully clear on:

what your ideal client is dealing with right now
how that problem is costing them (time, money, growth)
and why you are the person to solve it

Not in a generic way.
But in a way that makes them think:

“Wait… this is exactly what we’re dealing with.”

Because here’s the truth:

No one is hiring another:

speaker
consultant
former executive

Just because they “have experience.”

They hire the person who understands their problem best…
and can solve it fastest.

If your content is getting attention but not action…
you don’t need to post more.

You need to become a painkiller.

Business Coach | Keynote Speaker | Author of The Happy Accidents newsletter and The Accidental Solopreneur book

I’ve spent most of my career helping people navigate change.

Sometimes that meant working with leadership teams and organizations.
Sometimes it meant coaching solopreneurs who were building something new after an unexpected turn.
And more recently, it’s meant telling true stories that remind us how unpredictable, strange, and meaningful real life can be.

At the core of everything I do is one idea:
people don’t change because of frameworks alone, they change because of perspective.

What I Do

I’m a speaker, author, and consultant who helps individuals and organizations make sense of uncertainty, transition, and unexpected opportunity.

My work focuses on:
 • Leadership and change
 • Human-centered decision making
 • Serendipity, timing, and “happy accidents”
 • Stories that challenge neat narratives about success and control

I’m currently building The Uncanny, a storytelling project exploring true stories that sound impossible but actually happened.

Who I Work With
 • Event organizers looking for keynote talks that are thoughtful, grounded, and story-driven
 • Organizations and nonprofits navigating change, leadership transitions, or cultural shifts
 • Individuals who want practical clarity through focused, one-hour coaching conversations

(I’m no longer actively promoting large programs or long-term coaching, but I still take on select conversations and workshops when there’s a strong fit.)

What I’ve Created
 • Author of The Zero In Formula and The Accidental Solopreneur
 • Host and creator of story-driven newsletters, podcasts, and short-form video content
 • Speaker on topics including change, leadership, serendipity, and starting before you feel ready

Want to Connect?

If you’re reaching out about:
 • Speaking engagements
 • A focused workshop or session
 • A thoughtful one-on-one coaching conversation

Feel free to DM me.

And if you’re someone who loves true stories that make you pause and say, “That can’t be real”…
you’ll probably enjoy what I’m building next.

Coaching and mentoring to help you start and scale your one-person business.

Most leadership training gets this backwards.

We teach people how to manage others…
before they know how to manage themselves.

And then we wonder why teams struggle.

There’re some uncomfortable truths we don’t like to acknowledge when it comes to leadership: 

- If you can’t manage your own reactions,
you can’t manage conflict.

- If you don’t understand your own personality, you’ll misread everyone else’s.

- If you don’t take responsibility for your results, you’ll blame your team.

- If you can’t prioritize your own time,
you’ll create chaos for everyone around you.

Contrary to what we like to think, leadership doesn’t start with strategy. 

It starts with self-awareness.

In my 12-week leadership coaching program through Zero In, the first four weeks are entirely about leading yourself.

It’s the foundation for everything that comes afterwards (where we then focus on leading individuals and then leading teams).

In those first four weeks, we dig into personality, stress triggers,
how others actually experience you,
how you respond under pressure,
and how you prioritize what matters.

Because once you can lead yourself…
leading others becomes exponentially easier.

If you’re serious about becoming the kind of leader people actually want to follow,
start there.

Some of the most damaging leaders I’ve seen weren’t incompetent.

They were unregulated.

Don’t get me wrong, they were smart,  strategic, and experienced.

But they couldn’t manage themselves.

They couldn’t control their reactions in tense moments.

They took feedback personally.

They blamed circumstances when results slipped.

They said “yes” to everything and then created chaos trying to deliver.

And their teams paid the price.

Leadership isn’t just about vision or communication.

It’s about emotional control.
Self-awareness.
Responsibility.
Discipline with your time and energy.

If you can’t lead your own habits, emotions, and priorities, you end up outsourcing the consequences to everyone around you.

And that’s when trust erodes.

Have you ever worked for a leader who struggled to lead themselves?

What did that look like and how did it affect the team?

Is it your goals?
Is it your habits?
Is it your purpose?

Or is it actually none of those things?
