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.

Financial security always seemed like a distant dream.

Growing up with a single mom on welfare taught me early lessons about resilience and the value of opportunity.

Fast forward to my mid-20s:

I was working brutal 12-hour shifts at the port (4 days on, 4 days off)...

Feeling trapped in the employee mindset that I'd been conditioned to accept.

Then I discovered the world of publishing.

My first breakthrough came when I published a simple book and watched in amazement as royalties started flowing in - without trading more hours for dollars.

But the real game-changer?

January 2015, when I pivoted to high-quality cookbooks.

This generated over $10,000 in a single month.

That was more than I'd ever made before.

And it was just the beginning.

Today, I've:

• Built a 7-figure publishing business spanning both fiction and non-fiction
• Successfully exited one of my publishing ventures
• Developed a proven 4-step system that's helped hundreds achieve publishing success
• Maintained consistent success in this space for 8+ years

But here's what makes me different:

While others push get-rich-quick schemes or celebrate one-hit wonders, I've developed a sustainable approach to building real publishing assets that generate long-term wealth.

My signature "Six Figure Foundations" process helps authors:

• Create high-quality books that consistently generate 5-star reviews
• Build valuable publishing brands (not just one-off titles)
• Position their portfolio for potential six-figure exits
• Achieve this while working just 5-10 hours per week

The reality?

Publishing is changing.

AI is transforming the industry, and reader expectations are higher than ever.

But that's created an unprecedented opportunity.

Want to learn how to build a sustainable publishing business that could replace your 9-5?

Remember:

Success leaves clues.
Let me show you the path.

Nick Di Fabio

Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman discovered something shocking:

You have two brains that make every decision.

This will change how you understand every decision you'll ever make: 

1. The Two Systems of Thinking

Kahneman discovered two distinct modes of thinking:

System 1 (Fast Thinking):

• Intuitive & automatic
• Emotional & effortless
• Makes quick decisions

System 2 (Slow Thinking):

• Rational & effortful
• Deliberate & logical
• Solves complex problems

We mostly use System 1, but it's prone to errors.

System 2 can catch these mistakes, but requires energy & focus.

2. Cognitive Biases & Heuristics

Our brains use mental shortcuts (heuristics) for quick decisions.

But these create systematic errors:

Here are a few:

1) Anchoring Bias:
Relying too heavily on the first piece of information

2) Availability Heuristic:
Judging probability by what easily comes to mind

3) Confirmation Bias:
Seeking information that confirms existing beliefs

Understanding these biases helps us think more rationally.

3. The Illusion of Understanding

We think we understand the world far better than we do.

Our minds create coherent stories from limited information, leading to overconfidence in our:

• Knowledge
• Predictions
• Understanding

Lesson:

Be skeptical of your certainty.

The world is more random than you think.

4. Prospect Theory & Loss Aversion

People process gains & losses differently:

1) Loss Aversion:
Losses hurt about twice as much as equivalent gains feel good

2) Framing Effect:
How choices are presented changes decisions ("90% survival" vs "10% death")

This explains many irrational financial decisions.

5. The Planning Fallacy

We consistently:

• Underestimate task completion time
• Overestimate our efficiency
• Ignore past experiences

Kahneman's solution:

Study similar past projects for realistic estimates.

6. The Halo Effect

We judge everything about someone based on one prominent trait:

• Attractive people seem smarter
• Successful companies seem better managed
• Well-dressed people appear more competent

Lesson:

Judge situations on data, not impressions.

7. The "Econs" vs "Humans" Model

Traditional economics assumes rational people ("Econs").

Reality shows we're emotional & impulsive ("Humans").

This insight created behavioral economics:

Understanding why real decisions deviate from rational models.

8. How to Think Better

To avoid fast thinking traps:

• Slow down for important decisions
• Recognize & adjust for biases
• Question your assumptions
• Consider the outside view
• Use data over intuition

Look at how similar situations played out before.

The Bottom Line

Understanding how your brain works is the key to better decisions in:

• Relationships
• Business
• Finance
• Life

Generated $1M+ with Amazon Self-Publishing | Girl Dad x 2 | Book Your Publishing Game Plan👇

I’ve self-published 260 books on Amazon.

I follow a simple process for every book to make $2000+/month every single time.

So I created an interactive course that shows you exactly how I do it.

Like this post + comment “Course” & I’ll DM it to you. 

*Must Follow Me*

Anyone can publish a children’s book on Amazon & make $2000+/month from it.

The best part?

With AI, you can create the books without any artistic skills.

Here's the exact system:

Step 1: Pick your niche (Day 1)

Children's books aren't just fairy tales.

The profitable niches are:

• Potty training guides
• Social skills books
• Educational concepts (letters, numbers, colors)
• Bedtime stories with lessons
• Books about feelings & emotions

Focus on solving problems parents actually face.

Step 2: Create your story outline (Day 2)

Use ChatGPT with this prompt:

"Write a children's book outline about [your topic] for ages 3-6. Include 16 pages with simple text, a clear lesson, and engaging scenes that would work well as illustrations."

This gives you the foundation for everything.

Step 3: Generate your illustrations (Days 3-5)

Use Midjourney or DALL-E 3 with prompts like:

"Children's book illustration, [scene description], colorful, friendly cartoon style, simple backgrounds, consistent character design"

Create 12-16 illustrations that match your story perfectly.

The key? Keep characters consistent throughout.

Step 4: Design your book layout (Day 6)

Use Canva or Book Brush to:

• Combine your text with illustrations
• Create consistent formatting
• Design a eye-catching cover
• Export as print-ready PDF

Most people skip this step & wonder why their books look unprofessional.

Step 5: Upload to Amazon KDP (Day 7)

Set up your:

• Book title (include keywords parents search for)
• Book description (focus on benefits for kids)
• Categories (be specific, not general)
• Pricing ($8.99-$14.99 for paperback works best)

Your book goes live within 24-72 hours.

The money-maker: Create a series.

One book makes you $300/month.

A series of 5-10 books in the same niche?

That's when you hit $3000+/month consistently.

Parents buy multiple books from authors they trust.

Pro tip: Test your concept first.

Before spending time on illustrations, create a simple version with basic images.

If it gets traction, invest in better visuals.

If not, pivot to a different topic.

This saves you weeks of wasted effort.

Most creators fail because they try to make their first book perfect.

Perfect is the enemy of published.

Get your first book out there, learn from the reviews, then improve book #2.

The compound effect of multiple books is where the real money lives.

Start with one book this month.

The children's book market on Amazon is massive & growing.

Parents will always buy books that help their kids learn & grow.

Position yourself in this space now before it gets more competitive.

If you want to learn the complete system for building a profitable KDP business...

DM me “Playbook” & I’ll share mine with you.

Everyone should publish a book on Amazon using AI and make $2,000/month from it.

Sadly, 99% of people have no idea how to do it.

Here's the full step-by-step system:

First, let's be clear about AI:

It's a tool, not a replacement for quality.

Use AI to speed up research and creation by 70%.

But always prioritize creating books readers actually want.

I've made over $1,000,000 publishing books. Here's how AI fits into the process:

Step 1: Use AI for Niche Research (30 minutes)

Use ChatGPT to:
- Generate niche ideas based on trends
- Analyze competitor books
- Identify gaps in the market

Then validate with BookBeam to see actual sales data.

AI suggests. Data confirms.

Step 2: Create Titles and Outlines with AI (1 hour)

ChatGPT can generate:
- 10+ title variations
- Detailed chapter outlines
- Benefit-driven subtitles
- Keyword-rich descriptions

This used to take me days. Now it takes an hour.

But I still refine everything manually.

Step 3: Content Creation - The Smart Way (4-5 days)

Here's where most people mess up.

Don't just let AI write everything.

Option A: Hire ghostwriter ($500-$2,000) - Best quality
Option B: AI + heavy editing - Works for shorter books
Option C: Ghostwriter + AI research - What I recommend

Quality matters more than speed.

Step 4: Cover Design (2-3 days)

AI tools like Midjourney can generate concepts.

But hire a real designer on Fiverr ($100-$150) to execute.

AI gives you ideas. Designers make them professional.

Your cover is what stops people from scrolling.

Step 5: Product Page Optimization

Use AI to:
- Write compelling descriptions
- Generate keyword variations
- Create author bio
- Write A+ content

Then polish it manually.

AI gets you 80% there. You finish the last 20%.
Step 6: Launch Strategy (Day 7)

AI can help with:
- Promotional copy
- Ad variations
- Review request templates
- Launch sequence planning

Execute with: Reviews + Amazon ads + promotion sites.
The Math to Hit $2,000/Month:

4-5 quality books at $400-500/month each = $2,000/month

Each book costs $500-$2,000 to create with AI assistance.

That same book generates passive income for years.
What AI Changed for Publishing:

Before: 3-6 months to publish one book
Now: 7-10 days to publish one book

Before: $2,000-$3,000 per book
Now: $500-$1,500 per book

Before: Hours of manual research
Now: Minutes with AI assistance

The barrier to entry dropped massively.
But here's the catch:

AI made it easier to create.

It also made it easier to create garbage.

The winners in 2026 use AI for speed but focus on quality.

The losers spam 50 AI-generated books and wonder why they're not selling.
What You Actually Need:

- $500-$1,500 per book
- ChatGPT ($20/month)
- BookBeam ($20-30/month)
- 5-10 hours for your first book
- Patience to think in months, not days

That's it.
I've published 300+ books since 2014.

Made over $1,000,000 in royalties.

With AI, you can build this faster than I did in 2014.

DM me “AI” to learn exactly how to do it.

I found the dumbest way to make $100/day.

(It's made me $1M+ at 45)

How?

Self-publishing Ebooks.

Here's exactly how to copy me:

First, let me be clear about what this actually is:

Amazon KDP self-publishing.

You create books (or hire someone to), publish them on Amazon, and collect royalties every month.

I've published 300+ books doing this.

Some make $50/month, others make $2,000+/month.

Here's why it's "dumb":

• You don't need to be a writer  
• No physical inventory  
• No customer service  
• No fancy tech skills  
• Amazon handles everything  

You literally create it once and it pays you for years.

My books from 2015 still make me money today.

Step 1: Pick a Profitable Niche

Don't write about what you're passionate about.

Find what people are actually buying.

I use BookBeam to check:

• Search volume  
• Competition level  
• Current bestsellers in that niche  

Cookbooks, self-help, test prep, how-to guides.  
These sell consistently.

Step 2: Create a High-Quality Book

This is where most people mess up.

They create low-content journals or rush the process.

Don't do that.

Hire a ghostwriter ($600-1200) or use AI with heavy editing.

One quality book beats 100 garbage ones every time.

Step 3: Get a Professional Cover

Your cover is the first thing people see.

If it looks amateur, they scroll past.

Spend $100-150 on a designer who knows the Amazon marketplace.

This is not where you cut corners.

Step 4: Launch It Right

The first 30 days determine everything.

Here's what I do:

• Get reviews (the right way)  
• Run Amazon ads  
• Make it visible from day one  

Most people publish and just wait.  
That's why they fail.

You need a launch plan.

Step 5: Build a Catalog

One book making $300/month is nice.

Five books making $400/month each?  
That's $2,000/month.

The real money is in stacking these assets over time.

Each book compounds the others when they're in related niches.

The math is simple:

Book 1: $300/month  
Book 2: $400/month  
Book 3: $500/month  
Book 4: $350/month  
Book 5: $450/month  

Total: $2,000/month passive income

And these keep paying you month after month, year after year.

But here's what nobody tells you:

This takes time.

Your first book might take 2-3 months to see consistent royalties.

Most people quit before they get there.

I was working 6pm-6am warehouse shifts when I started.  
It took me over a year to figure this out.

The best part?

You can do this with 3-5 hours per week once you have a system.

I spend my afternoons with my wife and daughters now.

The books handle themselves.

That's the real win.

Look, I'm not saying this is easy.

But it's simple.

Find a niche. Create quality. Launch smart. Repeat.

If you want to learn my complete system for building a publishing business...

DM me "PASSIVE" and I'll share more info on it.

Anyone can publish a book on Amazon & make $3,000/month from it.

I've been doing this for the last 10 years...

The best part?

I've never written a single book.

Here's exactly how I've made $1,000,000+ on Amazon (& how you can too):


1. Find a Profitable Book Idea

Not all books make money.

Here's how to find one that does:

• Use BookBeam to see what's selling
• Look for self-published books with good sales potential
• Focus on evergreen niches (health, business, relationships, finance, etc.)

Once you've found a niche with demand, move on to the next step.


2. Get the Book Written (Without Writing a Word)

You don't need to be an author…

You just need a system.

Here's how I do it:

• Hire a ghostwriter on Upwork or Fiverr
• Use AI writing tools to assist with outlines & drafts
• Focus on creating high-quality, valuable content

In a few weeks, you'll have a fully written book.


3. Design a Professional Cover

A bad cover kills sales.

Your book needs to look like a bestseller.

Here's what I do:

• Use Canva to create a simple cover
• Hire a pro on Fiverr for a professional design
• Model your design after top-selling books in your niche


4. Format & Upload Your Book to Amazon KDP

Amazon makes self-publishing stupidly easy.

• Format your book properly for both digital and print
• Upload it to KDP(.)Amazon(.)com (paperback, eBook, or both)
• Set your price between $2.99 - $9.99 for max royalties

Once approved, your book is ready to start earning.


5. Launch & Market Your Book

Your book won't sell itself.

Here's how to get early traction:

• Set your book to FREE initially to gain early downloads
• Use promotion sites to spread the word
• Run Amazon Ads to stay visible in searches


6. Make Your Book Passive Income

Once your book ranks, you'll start seeing daily passive income.

• Books on Amazon sell for years without extra work
• Some books make $2,000-$5,000/month each
• Repeat the process to scale past $10k/month


7. Turn One Book into Multiple Income Streams

Don’t think of this as “just publishing a book”...

Think of it as a business.

• Create audiobooks & sell them on Audible
• Offer a course or coaching based on your book
• License your book to foreign markets for extra royalties


Final Thought:

Most people waste years dreaming of writing a book.

But today, anyone can self-publish one (without having to write it yourself)

I've done it 300+ times and made over $1,000,000 in royalties.

& if I can do it... you can too.

If you want to learn more about how you can self-publish on Amazon KDP...

DM me "Amazon" & I'll show you how.

6 months was all it took. 

But now with AI? 

You could do this in half the time. 

This is the greatest time in history to start a side hustle.

If you want to leave your 9-5? 

Start now. 

You can be out of there in 3-6 months with the right blueprint.

DM me “Publish” if you want mine.

You don't need to be a writer to make money from self-published books.

You can use AI to speed up the process, hire ghostwriters for quality, & make $2,000+/month.

Here's the actual system that works:

Let me be clear about AI...

Don't use AI to write the entire book. That's a recipe for low-quality content that doesn't sell.

Use AI to speed up research and planning. Then hire real writers.

Here's the difference:

Step 1: AI for Niche Research

Use ChatGPT to generate niche ideas.

Then validate with BookBeam to see actual sales data.

Look for:

• 50-500 reviews on competing books
• Self-published books ranking well
• Price points $12-25

AI suggests possibilities. Data shows what actually sells.

Step 2: AI for Book Framework

Use ChatGPT to create:

• Title variations
• Chapter outlines
• Product descriptions
• Keyword ideas

This part used to take me days. Now takes hours.

But don't stop here.

Step 3: Hire Professional Ghostwriters

Pay $500-$2,000 for quality content.

Give them the AI-generated outline.

They write expert-level content readers actually want.

I've published 300+ books this way. Never lost money on a single one.

Step 4: Professional Cover Design

Hire designers on Fiverr or through ghostwriting services ($100-150).

Your cover is the first thing people see.

Great content fails with bad covers. Every time.

Step 5: Launch Strategically

Make the book free for the first few days to generate reviews and rankings.

Then use Amazon ads to maintain momentum.

The first 30-60 days determine long-term success.

The Math to $2,000/Month:

4-5 books at $400-500/month each = $2,000/month

Each book costs $500-$2,000 to create.

Books I published in 2015 still generate income in 2026.

Build once. Get paid repeatedly.

What You Actually Need:

• $500-$2,000 per book to start
• ChatGPT ($20/month)
• BookBeam ($20-30/month)
• Ghostwriting service or freelance writers
• Patience for 90 days
I've made over $1,000,000 doing this since 2014.

Didn't write any of the books myself.

Didn't show my face.

Didn't build a social media following.

Just followed a proven system and repeated it 300+ times.

The winners in 2026 use AI for speed but focus on quality.

The losers spam 50 AI-generated books and wonder why they're not selling.

Quality always wins.
You don't need:

• Writing skills
• A big audience
• Years of experience

You need:

• A system that works
• Quality over quantity mindset
• 3-5 quality books to see traction

If you want to learn the exact system...

DM me "System" and let's talk.
