demystifying success & happiness | co-creator of Happily Ambitious | SMB AE @ Deel | building in public | mindset + productivity | Sell Better host

Feeling lost, stressed, burned out, or unable to get off the achievement treadmill?

Want to take design a life you actually love, but don't know where to start?

One of my biggest passions is demystifying success & happiness.

I've spent a lot of my life working incredibly hard (past the point of burnout) and still not feeling satisfied by my achievements, feeling like achieving one goal only meant that the goal post had to be moved further away from the next one.

While I'm far from having figured this out, I co-host a podcast (Happily Ambitious) and a companion newsletter (The Ambitious Breakthrough) to learn from some of the best in this area and share my journey as I go.

My goal is to build in public - through my role in SaaS sales, as a podcast host, as one of the founders of a growing community, and as someone who very frequently deals with all of the stressors described above.

Whether you need:

- A ghostwriter who can make your LinkedIn presence explode 💥
- A social-led content engine that actually drives pipeline
- A partner to launch influencer, affiliate, or co-marketing campaigns
- Or someone to figure out why your content flops harder than a 2008 Vine star…

📊 Why me? Glad you asked.

✅ Booked 70+ meetings/month via social selling as a BDR
✅ Ghostwritten for 100+ execs (without sounding like ChatGPT)
✅ Coached 500+ reps to increase booked meetings by 20%+
✅ Built a 26K+ audience from scratch—no bots, no BS
✅ Led 300+ influencer campaigns that generated millions of views and real pipeline
✅ Have a waiting list for my personal branding coaching (yes, it’s that good)

If we work together, we’re gonna laugh, grow fast, and make some damn good content while we’re at it.

DM me or comment on one of my posts—let’s chat. Worst case? You leave with 3 new ideas for free.

Ditch the gift cards, scrap the underutilized benefits package, and focus on the individuals in your organization instead.

Companies looking to improve performance and retention should care about helping people get further faster towards what matters most in their life. We make this easy with tools to create personalized incentives, meaningful recognition & self-defined benefits that help their people unlock "sacred funds" towards their personal life goals.

Employee Motivation Simplified.

Ready isn't a feeling, it's a choice.

Do your due diligence, sure, but you do not have to have it all figured it out. 

Launch that business, get it wrong, reiterate, get the feedback, churn that customer, drop that ball, live and learn.

Being ready doesn't mean you won't make mistakes.

Being ready means you're deciding that you need to allow yourself to do your best, which means you will make mistakes, and you will learn from those mistakes, and you will keep doing this til the day you die.

You got this, boo.

A lot of founder-led companies stall out for one simple reason: They hire Business Development before they build Marketing. BD is not a band-aid for founder burnout, folks... it is a scaling function. Marketing is the prerequisite.

If you don’t have:
• positioning
• ICP
• a narrative
• content
• demand-gen
• enablement
• a POV

…BD will fail.

I have zero success stories of the “BD first, marketing later” model working. Not one.

It’s a sequencing issue.

Your decisions determine whether you grow — or stall.

Every founder thinks they’re the exception. And every time, I watch the exact same story play out: A founder-led company hits that weird middle stage
