Positions and ranks are limited.
Professionalism shows before the résumé
in how you treat people:

Some of the best people you’ll meet
won’t introduce themselves with titles.
Their conduct says enough.

Respect bridges the space between
roles and relations.
It’s the influence
that holds teams together when titles change.

Character still does the heavy lifting.

It decides how you show up
when recognition fades or no one’s calculating.

To rebuild belief
where morale is thin, start here:
🌏 Treat every role as essential to progress.
ℹ️ Offer feedback that strengthens, not stings.
🧭 Lead with candor when direction feels unclear.
✨ Keep your word, especially when everyone’s tired.
🤝 Choose empathy over ego - it’s what keeps 
teams human.

Respect costs nothing.
It rebuilds everything
that keeps people believing again.

Most people don’t leave for better pay.

They leave for better days:
🍁 
Workplaces focus on incentives.

But most professionals stay
where they feel:
centered, respected, and valued.

Culture isn’t built by perks.
It’s built by how people act
when no one’s performing.

Leaders
set the tone.
Teams
carry it forward.

☑️
If you lead:
▫️ Support recovery as part of performance.
▫️ Keep your word, even in small moments.
▫️ Give trust early, let accountability follow.
▫️ Model calm when others rush to react.
▫️ Set boundaries that protect energy.
▫️ Acknowledge effort first.
▫️ Listen to understand.

☑️
If you’re on a team:
▫️ Bring balance when situations tilt.
▫️ Speak with care, even under strain.
▫️ Help peers look good in front of others.
▫️ Communicate early, close loops quickly.
▫️ Be dependable. It earns quiet credibility.
▫️ Follow through without needing spotlight.
▫️ Stay focused on contribution, not competition.

The real reward?
A workplace people stay in
because growth feels right there.
🌱
Thanks for reading!

Respect and peace still outperform perks.

Some of the strongest people you meet
have earned their glow by sharing it.
Generosity expands you:

Not in theory, but in how you support others
when the stakes tighten around them.

There is a quiet confidence that grows
when you help someone rise.
You don’t shrink.
You gain presence.

When you make space for others, you build a reputation
that follows you everywhere.

Here are simple yet powerful actions that
build trust,
expand influence,
and lift everyone involved:

🕯️
Offer a skill you’ve mastered to someone still learning it.
It accelerates their path and refines your own understanding.
🕯️
Celebrate someone’s progress without comparing it
to your journey.
It shows you notice their effort, not their position.
🕯️
Share opportunities that match another person’s strengths.
Your credibility grows when you guide people toward
rooms that fit them.
🕯️
Check in on colleagues quietly, not publicly.
Support that isn’t performed earns real trust.
🕯️
Give encouragement that highlights the work,
not just the win.
People push further when they feel genuinely seen.
🕯️
Offer guidance without taking control.
Empowerment leaves a deeper imprint than direction.
🕯️
Let people borrow your belief until theirs strengthens.
Sometimes that’s the difference between hesitation
and progress.

The world doesn’t forget those who help others shine.
And the kindness you offer
always finds its way back to you.

Some leaders stall on ego.
Others rise on credibility.
That’s where belief decides who stays:

The difference always showed
in how they carried themselves.

They didn’t chase validation.
They earned trust through substance and
follow-through.

Here’s what separated them from those who burned out
trying to look the part:

1️⃣ They listened with intention.
They weren’t waiting to talk.
They were paying attention to what shaped outcomes.

2️⃣ They owned their decisions.
Right or wrong, they didn’t hide behind circumstance.
That kind of honesty built quiet respect.

3️⃣ They shared the stage.
They valued contribution before credit.
That created loyalty you can’t manufacture.

4️⃣ They asked for perspective.
Not to appear open, but to refine their own judgment.

5️⃣ They practiced restraint.
Influence came from composure, not control.

6️⃣ They delivered reliably.
Their word held weight because their actions never drifted.

7️⃣ They knew leadership isn’t permanent.
It endures only while people believe in how you use it.

True confidence never performs.
It lives in consistency, humility, and self-awareness.

That’s where real leadership keeps earning its place.

The right circle doesn’t just motivate you.
It upgrades what you believe
is within reach:

Some people expand your thinking
just by being around them.
They model what’s possible.

Every time I made an upgrade in life or work,
I could trace it back to the energy shared
with the people I supported - 
and who supported me.

They normalize high standards.
Excellence stops feeling rare.
It starts feeling expected.

They speak growth fluently.
Every exchange raises the quality
of thought and follow-through.

They reflect your potential back to you.
You start believing in the version
they already see.

They measure success by depth, not display.
Their progress feels earned,
never performed.

They hold you to your higher self.
Accountability feels like belief,
not pressure.

Choose company that multiplies
self-respect and ambition.

That’s how reach meets excellence -
through people who aim higher with you.

♻️
Repost to remind others - who you’re around
shapes what you reach, and what you achieve.

If the team feels tense
around a “star,”
trust is sounding the alarm:

Toxic managers often look impressive on paper.
Results shine.
But people brace themselves in their presence.

That’s the first sign
something is cracking beneath the surface.
Not in metrics.
In the way people carry themselves around them.

Teams don’t unravel in one moment.

They erode through tolerated sharpness and leaders
who decide results outweigh respect.

Performance can hide damage temporarily.
Trust exposes it early.

If you want to know who strengthens your environment,
listen to the people closest to the work.
Their tone shifts.
Their initiative tightens.

You’ll see the truth long before the reports catch up.

🌐 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱:

Confront corrosive behavior early, 🔎
even from high producers.
A great quarter never justifies a draining presence.

Protect the environment your people depend on. 🛡️
Trust is your most reliable retention signal.

Build for endurance, not appearance. 🏛️
Healthy teams stay engaged, grow deeper,
and deliver beyond expectation.

Your best people watch who gets defended
and who gets excused.

Their commitment follows
what your culture reliably honors.

Leadership isn’t a destination.
It’s a continuous evolution
of how you think, believe, and let go:

As a leader, you don’t control
yourself into effectiveness.
You grow into it.

When I started leading
I was eager but unready.

I kept waiting to feel prepared, not realizing
effective leaders learn while leading.

Thanks to my friend Jen Blandos
for these lessons on learning to lead.

5 Levels —
that resonate and I still revisit:

1️⃣ CONTROL ZONE
You do it all yourself.
You think it’s faster, but it burns you out.

2️⃣ DOUBT ZONE
You second-guess.
Momentum fades, confidence thins.

3️⃣ REFLECTION ZONE
You pause long enough to see the pattern.
You start to lead from awareness, not reaction.

4️⃣ TRUST ZONE
You delegate with belief, not fear.
You empower through empathy, not ego.

5️⃣ IMPACT ZONE
You stop chasing credit.
You start shaping culture.

Every stage refines who you are.
It strengthens how you lead.

Feeling stuck isn’t failure.
It’s proof you’re still learning.

Most of what drains you sits outside your reach.
Great leaders protect the capacity
that drives real results.

The shift happens
when you stop treating every demand
as yours to solve.

Ownership shows when you direct your effort 
toward what genuinely advances outcomes.

⚪ Out of My Control
• Expectations formed long before I entered the conversation
• Narratives shaped by experiences I’ll never fully know
• Moments that turn suddenly without explanation
• Standards they hold for themselves, not for me
• Reactions fueled by their unseen stress
• Choices made without my input

⏺️ In My Control
• How I adjust my rhythm
• Where my attention goes
• The habits I strengthen each day
• The preparation I invest in before I move
• How I respond when conditions feel uneven
• What I reinforce through steady follow-through

When you stop absorbing what you cannot influence,
the choices ahead come into sharper view.

People depend on leaders who take responsibility
for what moves progress forward.

There comes a point in your career
when skill is no longer the test.
Your composure is:

Difficult people appear in every environment.
No title puts you above decency.
Pair kindness with strength.

I learned this in a meeting years ago.
A senior leader came in irritated, cut people off,
and tried to push his stress into the room.

I kept my tone even.
Asked one clarifying question.
Brought the conversation back to the work.

He settled.
The team regrouped.
The momentum returned.

𝟳 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀
that help you stay grounded
when someone’s behavior goes sideways:

1. Read the charge before you respond.
 🟩
Most reactions come from pressure you can’t see.
Awareness keeps you from matching their spike.

2. Lower your volume, raise your precision.
 🟩
Calm language still carries strength.
It keeps you out of the emotional spiral.

3. Protect the conversation, not the comfort.
 🟩
You can redirect without absorbing their behavior.
Progress matters more than pleasing.

4. Ask one grounded question.
 🟩
A single prompt can interrupt tension.
It shifts the room back to substance.

5. Keep your body language anchored.
 🟩
Steady posture communicates self-respect.
People adjust when they see you won’t react impulsively.

6. Decide what you will not take on.
 🟩
Their frustration is not your assignment.
You manage the state you choose to operate from.

7. Close in a way that reflects your standard.
 🟩
How you exit the moment
often shapes how you’re remembered.

You are never too important to be nice to people.

That line isn’t about politeness.
It’s about the identity you protect
even when someone else loses theirs.

The best leaders don’t talk about impact.
They cause it.
You can tell who they are:

People leave their meetings lighter.
Their teams get bolder, not busier.

They don’t manage emotion out of the room.
They give it direction.

They don’t compete for credit.
They create space for better ideas to win.

Servant Leadership isn’t unchallenged.

It’s the highest form of accountability.
It asks you to lead without hiding behind your title.

Every decision reveals who you’re leading to become.
The right ones grow others too.

Burnout begins quietly.
You notice it
when the weight stops making sense:

You see it in the slowdown.
The hesitation.
The spark that dims a little each week.

Burnout isn’t a mystery.
It’s a buildup that leaders can prevent.

𝟵 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁
𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗱𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆:

𝟭. Unrealistic Expectations ⚠️
→ Pressure without direction weakens performance.
❇️ Set the real target. Strip away what competes with it.

𝟮. Lack of Autonomy ⚠️
→ Over-control slows talented people down.
❇️ Let them steer the work, not just carry it.

𝟯. Constant Firefighting ⚠️
→ Operating in emergency mode blunts judgment.
❇️ Build margin. Protect deep thinking.
Reduce preventable swirl.

𝟰. Invisible Efforts ⚠️
→ Quiet contributions eventually fade when no one
notices.
❇️ Acknowledge real impact while it’s happening.

𝟱. Low Psychological Safety ⚠️
→ Holding everything in drains people faster than
the workload.
❇️ Ask, listen, and respond in ways that earn trust.

𝟲. No Progress or Growth ⚠️
→ Stagnation pulls motivation to the surface
then drains it.
❇️ Offer stretch opportunities and feedback
that moves people forward.

𝟳. Poor Work Design ⚠️
→ Cluttered systems and meeting overload chip away
at energy.
❇️ Fix friction. Respect time.
Streamline the path to doing great work.

𝟴. Misaligned Leadership ⚠️
→ Mixed signals fracture confidence quickly.
❇️ Match commitments with action and reinforce
the standards you expect.

𝟵. Overreliance on the Same People ⚠️
→ Even the strongest contributors crack when the load
never shifts.
❇️ Build depth. Balance responsibility.
Protect your anchors.

Burnout rises when people feel alone
in the weight.
It eases when leadership shows up
with consistency, recognition, and reliable support.

You can outperform every target.
And drain yourself doing it.
Your decisions will tell:

Most people never admit this part.
The part where the results look great
but something inside feels off.

Uneven days expose that gap.
They make you question your pacing, your judgment,
your capacity.

They remind you that achievement means little
without stability behind it.

What looks like a setback from afar
is often where you see how you really operate.
Not the polished version. The actual one.

That’s where systems start to matter most.
Not to restrict you.
To keep you from burning through what you need
to stay effective.

The higher the stakes, the easier it is to push
past your limits.

Hard work can disguise depletion.
And depletion erodes the quality of your decisions.

People who last long-term notice the early signals.
They build small constraints that protect
their bandwidth.

Those choices ripple into sharper thinking
and calmer rooms.

Careers rarely unfold in a straight line.
They expand, contract, accelerate, pause.

The way you handle the unpredictable parts decides
how far you go.

If you’re in one of those seasons now,
don’t assume it’s regression.
It may be the part that’s shaping your next best level.

Smooth moments feel good.
Variable ones build capability you can use anywhere.
That capability is what creates real advantage over time.

🎥  credit = open source

You see it in the way
some leaders interpret tension.
They don’t just know EQ:

Conversation sharpens
when accuracy leads the exchange.

Relativity shapes the response
to each moment and the pressure within it.

These patterns reveal
leaders who understand behavior
at a deeper level.

3 = They Defend Absent Voices
They protect reputations

➯ Context and credit stay intact.

➯ They share what moves work forward.

5 = They Redirect Without Force

➯ The shift feels collaborative.

6 = They Audit Themselves First
They reflect before pointing outward.
➯ They adjust without hesitation.

7 = They Guard Focus
They treat attention
like a finite resource.
➯ Depth beats scatter every time.

8 = They Seek Brilliance Over Being Right
They welcome stronger ideas
even when it changes their plan.
➯ Curiosity fuels better outcomes.

9 = They Track the Human Pulse
They notice who is fading
beneath pressure or pace.
➯ Support comes before decline.

10 = They Spotlight Others Strategically
They give credit in places
that open real opportunities.
➯ Recognition becomes lift.

11 = They Lead Through Signals

Today I want to give a fuckload of thanks

And show shitloads of gratitude

Which should be as easy as 1-2-3

Except most people can't even get to 1

Before I get to it though, I want to make a declaration

• Buy into the notion that things used to be better
• Waste my time with pessimists and nihilists

Why judge, hate and complain when there is

SO. MUCH. OPPORTUNITY?!

Anyway.

What I am most grateful for is:

- My health and the health of my family 
- The wealth I have, and the opportunity for more
- The relationships I have with family, friends, & clients

Happy Thanksgiving ✌️


PS - I am most grateful for all you mo-fos who got to the end of the list

Hopefully it inspires you to be a little bit more grateful today

____

is mentoring solopreneurs to $15k+ months

I am delighted to announce that...


#FuckBlackFriday


PS - The word black implies doom and gloom. No?

$3k months are quicksand

The harder you hustle, the deeper you sink

Sam Abazari was drowning in it
Working 80-hour weeks
Getting paid like a part-timer

Then something flipped inside The 216

Month 1: $3k → $10k 💥
Month 2: $10k → $18k 💥
Month 3: $18k → $26k 💥

Now? $40k months on repeat

Here's what nobody tells you:

Sam didn't need a new niche
Didn't need more certifications
Didn't need to "find his passion"

He needed to stop playing business
And start running one

The framework showed him:
• How to price without explaining
• How to sell without begging
• How to scale without burning out

First cohort filled in 48 hours
Raised his prices

Second cohort? Same story
Raised them again

That's not luck
That's math

While everyone else is chasing viral posts
Sam's chasing wire transfers

The difference?

One runs on hope
The other runs on systems

You can grind yourself to dust at $3k
Or you can learn the game and hit $40k

Your choice


Gangsta Shit 😎


PS – "Framework" literally means "frame for work"
Not "frame for thinking about maybe possibly doing work"

PPS – The only thing worse than being stuck at $3k?
Being stuck at $3k while pretending you're not

I was never broken

But the model I was using was

Now, every solopreneur who walks through my door says the same shìt:

"I'm lost"
"I can't sell"
"I'm burnt out"
"Maybe I should just go back to a job"

That's not the actual problem

The problem is you're running your business like it's 2010

Using frameworks that died when Facebook was still cool

Most people think they need more tactics

More funnels
More AI prompts
More morning routines

They don't

They need a model that actually works

Because when the model is wrong, every tactic fails

The game isn't about chasing the newest guru's course

It's about nailing the shìt that never changes:

• Positioning (so they choose you over everyone)
• Attention (so the right people actually see you)
• Persuasion (so they buy without the cringe)

Get those three locked

The tools can change
The platforms can die
Zuckerberg can rename everything again

But you'll still be making money

Because frameworks beat tactics
Every. Fùcking. Time.


Capeesh? 🤌


PS – My model’s never been scouted by Vogue...

But it makes money like it has

_________________________________________________

Sometimes I find myself questioning not what I do… but the very nature of doing

What is a “deliverable” truly?

A tangible output, or a conceptual manifestation of perceived value within a capitalist dialectic?

When we say “I help businesses grow”

Are we not merely perpetuating the illusion that “growth” itself is inherently desirable, rather than a symptom of existential inflation?

I once heard someone say, “Done is better than perfect.”

But is “done” ever done?

Or is it merely a convenient punctuation mark in an otherwise infinite paragraph of becoming?

We call it “posting”

But are we not, in essence, enacting a public rehearsal of our own relevance
performed daily for an algorithm that cannot love us back?

When I send an invoice, am I not simply converting my finite consciousness into a quantitative abstraction designed to maintain the illusion of progress?

When I take a client call, do I truly communicate… or merely participate in a mutually beneficial misunderstanding?

Sometimes I think the real ROIi's the reconciliation of the inner dialectic between purpose and panic

And perhaps, that’s the only deliverable that ever really matters


Philosopher shìt 🤔


PS - If this post didn’t make sense, you probably just need to read more

PPS - And if you don’t talk like you’ve swallowed a thesaurus, then you’ll never make it as a philosopher-preneur

You know what most solopreneurs are doing right now?

Fuçking around with their website

While their bank account screams for mercy

I just dropped 34 seconds of truth that'll hurt your feelings

But might save your business

Here's the deal:
You only have TWO jobs as a solopreneur
Just two
• Serve the people who paid you• Find people to pay you

That's it
That's the whole game

Everything else?

Pure procrastination dressed up as "productivity"

• Your new logo? Nobody cares
• That landing page redesign? Still nobody cares
• Your 47-page lead magnet? 

Guess what...You're hiding behind busy work

Because real work is scary

Real work means:
• Picking up the phone
• Sending that DM
• Having sales conversations
• Hearing "no" 20 times before one "yes"

But here's what kills me...
You'll spend 6 hours tweaking your Canva templates

But won't spend 6 minutes reaching out to potential clients

The math doesn't math

Watch the video
Let it sting
Then go do something about it


Capeesh? 🤌


PS – I looked up how to treat a sting 
Apparently, “action” works faster than aloe vera

PPS – Don’t worry, this post only hurts if it’s true

(Which it probably is)

_________________________________________________

Everything (Literally EVERYTHING) I do on Linkedin

Is designed for ONE outcome:

To get them on a call as quickly as possible

My DMs
My about
My banner
My content  
My comments
My masterclass
My featured section

Are ALL designed

To get them on a call as quickly as possible

99% of my clients struggle with this

They'll spend 6 hours perfecting their offer

But won't spend 6 minutes starting a conversation

Not scared of failure
Not scared of rejection

Scared of outreach
Scared of being seen
Scared of being rejected

You can't hide behind "I'm still working on my offer" anymore

But most people don't lose sales because they're pushy

They lose them because they never pitch at all

They're so busy being 'valuable' they forget to be valuable

Playing therapist when they should be playing closer

I see it every day:

17 messages deep:
"How's your weekend?"
"Love your content!"
"That must be so hard..."

Meanwhile the prospect is literally asking:
"Can you help me get what I want?"

And they miss it
Every. Single. Time.

DMs don't close high ticket items
Calls do

If you're resisting outreach
You're resisting income


Capeesh? 🤌


PS – There's someone in your DMs right now who needs your help

And you're out here sending "How's the year treating you so far?" BS

PPS – Yes, you can be kind AND 'salesy'

You're running a business, not a pen-pal service

________

The fear of losing is stronger than the desire to win
 
Most solopreneurs would rather not grow

Than risk what they've already built 

They'll say:
I don't want to change my offer
I don't want to niche down
I don't want to experiment 

Translation:
I'm scared to lose what's already working 

So they keep the same $3k offer that takes 40 hours

Instead of testing the $10k offer that takes 10

The real risk isn't losing what you have 

It's getting stuck protecting something that was only meant to be temporary 

Because playing not to lose…
is the fastest way to stop winning

Watch me break down why your brain would rather protect $5k/month
Than risk it for $50k 👇


Capeesh? 🤌


PS – Your brain treats losing money like physical pain

No wonder you're still selling the same shit from 2022

________

"Once I get $10k months, THEN I'll feel secure"

Kyle Bender dropped a truth bomb on my podcast

He said: "We have to feel things NOW if we ever want to feel them in the future"

I asked if that was advice for himself

"Of course. I thought I felt things, but I didn't feel anything"

Here's the mindfùçk:

Every solopreneur I know is playing this game

Once I get X clients, THEN I'll relax
Once I hit Y revenue, THEN I'll feel worthy
Once I have Z in the bank, THEN I'll stop panicking

But security isn't waiting for you at $50k

It's not hiding in your next launch

It's not coming after your 100th testimonial

Kyle nailed it: "Feel more now so you can feel less later"

Except here's the problem...

Try selling that to someone drowning in bills
Try pitching "feel your feelings" to someone in survival mode
Try explaining emotional work to someone with zero bandwidth

It's like telling someone on fire to meditate

But here's what I've learned

The people who make it aren't the ones who wait to feel secure

They're the ones who feel the fear
And invoice anyway

They feel the imposter syndrome
And show up anyway

They feel broke at $30k months
Because they learned to feel it at $3k

Your bank account can't fix what your nervous system broke

Start feeling it now
Or you'll chase it forever

Capeesh? 🤌


PS - Your nervous system processes 11 million bits of info per second

But can only consciously handle 40

No wonder we're all fùcked


_______________________________

The hardest thing I ever did wasn't building businesses or making money

It was walking away from all of it

I'd built up these businesses

Good money flowing in
Strong network
Solid reputation
I was known for something
Popular in Dubai, where I'd built everything

Access to whatever I needed

But here's what was eating at me: 

How do I keep all the good stuff—the income, the freedom, the lifestyle, but get rid of the investors breathing down my neck, the staff drama, the landlords, the endless obligations? 

I spent 3 years trying to figure out how to have my cake and eat it too

Then it hit me: The only way forward was to leave everything behind

So that's exactly what I did

Put my passport in my pocket
Booked a one-way flight from Dubai to London

Left everything I'd built
Started from scratch

Sometimes the cost of keeping what you've built is higher than the cost of starting over

And sometimes, starting over is the only way to build what you actually want


Capeesh? 🤌 


PS - Fun fact: The world’s tallest building in Dubai is 828m tall

Same height as my stress levels were before I left

CEOs keep hiring ghostwriters

And I get it

When you're running a $70B company

You don't have time to craft the perfect LinkedIn hook

But here's what they're missing:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱

I've written over 1000 posts
I've used Ghostwriters
And I've used Ai

And I can tell you exactly what kills a personal brand:
Pretending to be personal

𝗔 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱

Your audience knows when it's you
Or when it's actually Kyle from Marketing
Trying to "humanize your executive presence"

The posts that hit different?

• My $55K in 3 years confession
• The BMW road rage revelation  
• Calling out AI grifters

No ghostwriter would write those
(They'd get fired for even suggesting them)

Too risky. Too real. Too... me.

While Corporate CEOs keep delegating their voice
I'll keep creating the content I want to
In the way I want to

One of us is building an audience that actually gives a shit 
The other is building a content calendar


Capeesh? 🤌


PS - Most Fortune 500 CEOs have ghostwriters

I have ghosts from my past that appear in every post

_______

Everyone’s talking about thought leadership

Nobody’s talking about meme leadership

One uses jargon to sound smart
The other uses stupidity to tell the truth

So, in the spirit of efficiency (and because I refuse to pretend my brain has any room left for actual wisdom),

I’ve compiled this week’s carousel of internet genius

A visual anthology of:

• The guy who missed every single point ever made online
• The modern Moses who apparently left the commandments for crime
• A neurological PSA for anyone who says “I love Microsoft Teams”
• And a Linkedin post so painfully wholesome you can feel the engagement bait radiating off it

It’s humanity
It’s content


Gangsta Shit 😎


PS- If you don’t laugh at least once scrolling through this

Please close the app, touch some grass, and file a support ticket for your sense of humor 

_________________________________________________

Shit I Found On The Internet 

Linkedin keeps showing me "thought leadership"

X keeps showing me unhinged shìt that makes me question humanity

Guess which one I screenshot

The best memes aren't on Linkedin

They're in X threads at 2am where someone's having a complete breakdown

That's content
That's art
That's why I'm still scrolling at 3am like a degenerate

So here's this week's collection of internet gold

Swipe if you need to feel better about your life choices


Gangsta Shit 😎


PS - If Linkedin is where careers go to thrive, X is where they go to have a breakdown

And I'm here for it

Shit I found on the Internet 

My framework has the worst acronym in business history

POOP

Position. Offer. Outreach. Persuasion.

And yes, I named it that on purpose

Because while you're giggling at the name
I'm helping solopreneurs hit six figures

The framework isn't about money
(Though that's the six-figure part)

It's about freedom

Freedom to stop following someone else's blueprint
Freedom to figure out your own path
Freedom to actually think

Most "gurus" give you a process:
"Do this, then this, then this"

I give you questions:
How will you position yourself?
How will you test your offer?
How will you reach people?
How will you persuade them?

𝗜'𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼
𝗜'𝗺 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁

That's why it's a framework, not a process

Answer those four questions properly?
You'll hit six figures

Keep avoiding them?
You'll keep buying other people's "proven systems"

While they're selling you their success story
I'm helping you write yours


Capeesh? 🤌


PS - The name POOP also filters out people who take themselves too seriously
And those aren't my people anyway

_______

Another week, another deep dive into the internet's finest garbage

While you were being productive, I was collecting memes like they're rare Pokemon cards

Some people curate art galleries. I curate screenshots that make my therapist concerned

Here's this week's harvest, carefully selected from the depths of my 3am scrolling sessions

Swipe through if you dare. Your algorithm will never recover

"Shit I found on rhe Internet" Episode [whatever number we're on, I've lost count]


Gangsta Shit 😎 


PS - An FBI agent just texted me asking if I'm okay after seeing my search history this week

I told him these memes are for "market research" 

He's not buying it
