Hey there! I’m a serial entrepreneur with 3 exits under my belt.

My mission in life is to impact and inspire 100 million entrepreneurs worldwide. We have already impacted well over 4 Million this year 2021. 

The biggest mistake I hear - "I will wait until later to start building my personal brand" DO NOT WAIT!

Our goal is to amplify you and your brand in the media and publications. This helps with your SEO strategy, personal reputation when your name or brand is searched and build credibility with future clients. 

We have been at the forefront of audio-only apps like Clubhouse where we reach thousands of people on a daily basis including having a club with over 108k entrepreneurs as members. We have had amazing people join the rooms including Grant Cardone, Daymond John and so many more. 

We have a room highlighting authors, a Founders Story room highlighting amazing founders such as Grant Cardone, Sharon Lechter, Gino Wickman, Daymond John, Kevin Harrington, Kara Goldin, and so many more.

Who am I?
I realized during my first real management job that I loved to lead people. It was not about the title, it was about the ability to help and change lives. 

You don't realize how much of a difference you can make until you help someone get a promotion or be able to provide for their families.

For well over a decade I worked in the corporate world where I was able to lead a few hundred amazing individuals. Everything I learned I use in my own organization.

Since 2014 helping lead the marketing of our e-commerce stores on Amazon and Shopify. Sold over $15 million online. 

Ventured into the brick and mortar business to help others with their skin conditions like myself. Helped thousands of men and women be confident with their skin. Made tinted sunscreen cool with guys and we were awarded Inc 5000 fastest growing companies in America twice. 

Nowadays, I love to help business owners and entrepreneurs become the authority and stand out in the media. Let us help you get into publications, on tv or on podcasts. Why? Because there are so many incredible people who can inspire millions but no one knows who they are. 

I also love to inspire and empower through candid conversations from our media company called IBH - over 100k people reached monthly, iTunes and Spotify charts in over 20 countries and 3 shows. Wrote an Amazon best selling book about launching a podcast in 48 hours. 

Featured in over 60+ publications across the world:
Forbes, Inc, USA Today, Modern Luxury, Thrive Global, and more.

Co-Founder

A community-driven member ecosystem for entrepreneurs. Free education, collaboration, and creating projects together in the metaverse/Web3.0 while having fun.

I've interviewed over 1,000 founders.

So when I find content that actually changes how I think about brand, I pay attention.

I just watched a 6-hour brand-building course by Caleb Ralston. This is what I learned.

Here are the 8 frameworks worth keeping:
1. Brand is a pairing, not a feeling. Branding = intentionally pairing relevant things done consistently. Nike + Jordan. Harley + freedom. What are YOU pairing yourself with?

2. The Brand Journey Framework 4 questions that give you a complete roadmap: What's my desired outcome → What must I be known for → What must I DO to be known for it → What must I learn to do that

3. Define what you WON'T be associated with 99% of people ignore this. The creators who lose trust didn't build the wrong brand — they just never defined what they'd say no to.

4. Find the gap, own the gap If everyone in your space chases virality, owning trust is your differentiation. What is everyone saying that you can credibly disagree with?

5. The Accordion Method Post high volume first to gather data. Once you know what resonates, compress — fewer posts, more effort per post. Most people skip the first step.

6. The 70-20-10 Rule 70% proven content. 20% iterations. 10% pure experiments. The 10% is where every breakthrough format comes from. Most people never protect that bucket.

7. Share knowledge, sell execution Give away your best frameworks for free. Charge for implementation. Make your free content so good people think "if this is free, what are they charging for?"

8. Trust before transactions — always The sequence is: value → credibility → relationship → sale. Skipping any step kills the conversion.

Craziest thing, you can transcribe YouTube videos in YouTube, copy and paste them into Claude or Gemini or ChatGPT. Then ask it to summarize and tell you what it learned. Then have it create a prompt based on the info learned so you can implement this. 

Game Changer!

HOLY. MOLY! The Founder's Story just hit 800,000 subscribers on YouTube!

This show started in 2020, it was called Inspired by Her, hosted mostly by my wife Kate Hancock WEF DAVOS, a moment that honestly changed the entire trajectory of my life. 

We saw some early traction, slow and steady, and then something wild happened...Clubhouse exploded.

And suddenly, we had an estimated 20 million live listeners tuning in, with some of the most incredible founders and entrepreneurs in the world joining us in real time. The magic wasn't just the guests. It was YOU. 

The audience asks questions live, challenges ideas, sharing their own stories. That interactive energy was unlike anything I'd ever experienced. That's when we rebranded to Founder's Story.

We couldn't record those sessions, one of my biggest regrets, but what it built was something no algorithm can manufacture: a real community.

From there, we took this content and distributed it to TV stations across the country, which is why I've always called this a digital TV show, not just a podcast.

And then the last 18 months? Maniacal, obsessive focus on YouTube. Every week. No excuses. 6-8 hours a day, analyzing and changing.

This week alone, the founder of TaskRabbit and the author of The Lean Startup are coming on. That's the level we're playing at now.

But here's what I'm most excited about: we're bringing back the thing that made this special from the beginning. We want YOU to be able to submit questions for upcoming guests, just like the Clubhouse days. Because the best conversations were never just mine to have. They belonged to all of us.
800,000 strong. We're just getting started 

To every single person who watches, shares, and sends messages, thank you. You have no idea.

Buckle up. 

This post was inspired by Steven Bartlett and their 15 million on YouTube with DOAC. I hope to one day reach that point.

Some amazing recent guests:

Last week Gary Vaynerchuk sat down with me at Expo West. He held up a box of gummies like it was the most important thing he ever built.

Not VaynerMedia. Not his early investments in Facebook, Twitter, and Uber.
A box of gummies. Sounds crazy right?

But the more he talked the more I realized this isn't about gummies at all.
Gary sees two massive shifts that are about to collide.

Collectibles inside CPG. 

He's putting rare stickers inside every box that could resell for $1,000 on eBay. Think Cracker Jack meets Pokemon cards. One sticker. One bag of gummies. A completely new reason to buy.

Live social shopping. 

No retail distribution. No stores. No meetings with buyers. Direct to consumer through live selling. He told me point-blank this is the biggest opportunity in the world right now.

Most founders at Expo West were fighting for shelf space. Gary wasn't even looking for it.

His wife, Mona, spent 15 months ensuring every single ingredient was 100% clean. Not "clean enough." Actually clean. No chemicals. No compromises. He said it's unequivocally the cleanest fruit gummy on the market.

The brand is called Very Luckee Gummies.

And it's launching on live shopping first. Not retail. Not Amazon. Live.

That's not a product launch. That's a bet on where all of commerce is heading.

I also asked him what small brands with zero budget should do to compete against the massive booths and big money at events like Expo West.
His answer was simple.

Be human. Be creative. Be humble. You don't need a booth. You don't need money. You need human skills and the willingness to walk up to strangers.

He said he built everything that way. And he's watched hundreds of others do the same.

I wrote the full breakdown for Inc. magazine. Link in comments.

Love that I got to do this with my wife Kate Hancock and cohost.
