I deliver on the promise of Ai marketing to generate leads and build your brand. In fact, I guarantee it.

I bring together AI, automation, and human expertise to drive measurable growth for clients ranging from billion-dollar engineering firms to $100M SaaS companies to high-performing solopreneurs. Book a time with me here: Calendly.com/instantlyrelevant

My team and I provide end-to-end growth solutions:
• Social media management (LinkedIn, Meta, and more)
• Content production (posts, podcasts, YouTube, newsletters)
• Direct outreach (DMs, connections, network growth)
• Thought leadership + AI-SEO human-written articles
• 1:1 coaching to sharpen offers, systems, and sales flows
• Integrating Ai into you business to achieve measurable results

In the past five years, we’ve helped secure over $500M in contracts, doubled revenue from $40M → $80M in just two years, and scaled small businesses from $1M → $3M ARR. Every engagement is customized—and all of it comes for less than the cost of an intern.

Before launching Instantly Relevant, I spent 20 years in consulting (including KPMG) and led intelligent automation and AI strategy implementations at Eli Lilly and Stanley Black & Decker.

🎙️ In 2024, I launched the Cut The Tie podcast + YouTube channel, which grew into a top 2.5% globally ranked show with 1M+ subscribers—proof that the same growth systems we use for clients work at scale.

Real men don’t need anyone.

That’s the lie most of us were handed early, reinforced quietly, and rewarded socially.

• Independence equals strength
• Handle it yourself
• Don’t need help
• Don’t talk about what’s heavy

I believed it for a long time. If you are reading this line, you may believe(d) it too....

Today at North Point Community Church I was invited to attend th North Point Men’s Breakfast, (THANK YOU John Deushane for thinking of me AND giving me my first Bible this week! Book of John. A good place to start. Suggested by a good friend, Richard Baldwin.)

Today's message landed harder than I expected. Because the issue isn’t faith, age, or stage.--- It’s connection ---

Samer Massad walked the group through some data that silenced the room.
• 61 percent of men say they have no close friends they can truly lean on.

...then added these nuggets of reinforcement...
Loneliness increases your risk of dying early by 45 percent.

That’s higher than:
• Air pollution at 5 percent
• Heavy drinking at 20 percent
• Obesity at 30 percent

This comes from the @Harvard Study of Adult Development, running since 1935 (https://lnkd.in/djdFsnfg)

The longest study of human happiness and health ever conducted and  conclusion is uncomfortable and clear.

The quality of your relationships matters more than achievement, discipline, or success.

This lie survives on pride, fear, and drive.

Pride says you should handle it alone.
Fear says closeness exposes you.
Drive says slowing down to connect makes you weaker.

It doesn’t. Isolation does.

We carry hidden habits, thoughts, and shame like anchors.
They don’t stay neutral. They pull you under quietly. They drown you.

The verse on the screen said it simply:

Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens the other 
(https://lnkd.in/dbCNq6pm) YouVersion

You need real friends you can trust...

Not audiences. Not admirers.

Friends who aren’t impressed by you.
Friends you don’t try to impress.
People who accept you as you are. Nothing more. Nothing less.

They exist. But you don’t drift into them. 

• You go first.
• You reach out.
• You organize the hangout.
• You answer the hard question first.
• You lead.

Grateful for Samer Massad for presenting this so clearly, and for John Deushane and North Point Community Church for creating a space where this conversation actually happens.

Samuel Ajiboyede

Slow progress isn’t always a competence problem.
Often, it’s a systems problem hiding behind good intentions.

Here’s what usually causes the drag:

1. Too many priorities at once;
When everything is important, nothing moves decisively.

2. Decisions without clear owners:
Consensus feels safe, but it quietly delays action.

3. Unspoken friction:
Small blockers go unaddressed until they compound into major slowdowns.

4. Fear of breaking what’s working:
Past success can make teams overly cautious about change.

5. Execution without a reset:
Without recovery and reflection, teams stay busy but lose momentum.

Hard truth:
Good teams don’t stall because they lack talent.
They stall because speed requires clarity, trust, and designed systems.

Fix the system and pace follows.
