Co-Founder @ Stan | building a $BN company 🚀

Hi, I’m Vitalii 👋🏻

Over the past 3 years, I’ve built a $30M ARR business with 30 people.

A $1M/employee company.

Now, we’re building a category-defining brand—with $100M ARR in sight.

To do that, I focus on Culture, People, and Product.

Everything that got me here is self-taught.

Born and raised in Russia, I started working at 13—packing parachutes and skydiving. 🪂
By 18, I had 800+ jumps and enough saved to pay for my first year of college.

Jumping out of planes redefined my relationship with fear.
Once you commit, you act. Without hesitation.

I learned English in one year to study abroad—still the hardest thing I’ve done.
That brought me to Canada, where I earned a degree in Chemical Engineering.

I never used it.

My side projects opened doors for me—first to Deloitte, then to eBay.
But the real work happened outside the job.

I made time to build:
9–5 for the paycheck,
5–9 (both morning and night) for what I actually cared about.

That’s where I proved to myself—nothing is impossible.

In 2021, I met my cofounder. We went all-in and started building Stan.

On my LinkedIn, I write about:

→ Founder war stories (unfiltered)
→ Building a $1M/employee startup
→ Creating top 1% culture

🎧 Follow me here if you're building—or want to build—something great.

People I work with would describe me as:

→ I make things happen
→ Zero tolerance for mediocrity
→ I build and run top 1% talent-density teams

🫂 DM me on LinkedIn if you'd like to work at Stan.

But know—it’s likely to be the hardest thing you’ve ever done.
And worth it. For the right person.

—

On LinkedIn, I share stories for founders building what’s next—
The ones who care about People, Culture, and Redefining what's possible.

If that’s you,
Follow me. Drop a comment. Or just say hi 👋🏻

Vitalii Dodonov

I've just hired Emily Talas to make Stan the #1 place to work in Toronto 🇨🇦

A day later: "You're so lucky to have her."

I got 7 texts like this following the announcement ^^. Must be doing something right 😅

Here's a stat I feel vulnerable to share:

50% of our candidates from traditional channels don't work out by month 3.

At the same time, 
90% of employee referrals stay indefinitely and create disproportionate value.

There's signal in that.

And we're acting on it ✅

Starting now, we’re going 90% community-based hiring.

When I met Emily, I knew almost instantly she'd be the one:

Born to a family of entrepreneurs. Working since 14. Found her ikigai in Community x Tech (how rare is that!?). People I respect texted me about her.

I bet on Emily because the talent I'm after doesn't talk to recruiters: 
"The best people are never unemployed."

But on occasion, they hang out with other cool people. 
Emily's mission is to create the occasion.

In 2026, Emily's likely to drive 90% of our hiring in Toronto.

Think hackathons, hacker houses, private dinners, collaborations, and special events giving unknown talent a chance to meet us.

🇨🇦 Toronto — what's one event you wish existed here? We're painting a blank canvas, share some ideas!

My first bet of 2026: $20,000 on builders in Canada 🇨🇦

Build with AI? On Jan 23 👇

I’m inviting 60 builders to embark on a weekend-long sprint to create something new at the edge of AI.

Details:
🛠 Participants: 60 builders
⏰ Duration: 2 days 
🎯 Theme: AI × Voice × Video
👥 Team: Solo, with friends, or AI teammates

Each participant/team gets a $200 tech credit and competes for:

$20,000 cash
30-min 1:1 with me (ask anything you want)

To help spread the word, please repost this and tag anyone who should see it!

This is an invite-only event.

📩 To apply, leave a comment describing the most impressive thing you’ve built in one line.

Traditional recruiting is dead. That's why I'm paying $20,000 to a stranger in January.

I've hired 40+ people.

Together, we've built a $30M ARR startup. Profitably.

One thing in common among my best hires:

I wouldn't call them if all I saw was their resume. Take a look:

Esther, now my EA, has a fashion management degree. She got the job by walking into a machine shop and producing a mechanical drawing — before we even met 💅🛠️

Jason (JSON) won a hackathon last year he couldn't legally join because he was 17. I hired him on the spot (with his parents' approval) and he's built a $1.4M product with me in 9 months 🧑🏻‍💻

Ricky, now Head of Engineering, came from a company I'd never heard of. Did fine in the interview (on his birthday! 🎂). Then called me at 10 PM with a better solution he couldn't stop thinking about. 

Resumes can only tell you so much — unreliable signal.

So instead of reading resumes, I host hackathons. Give builders a reason to come. 

Then watch.

So here we are 👇

January 23. Toronto. 2-day hackathon on the edge of AI.

Win $20,000 — and (or!) a job building a $1B company. Invite-only. 

📩 To apply: tell me a story of what you've built that you're most proud of in the comments.

CRA paid me $750K for building in Canada 🇨🇦

And now I'm giving it back - starting with $20K on Jan 23. 

In 2021, we established our office in Canada.

3 years later: $30M ARR. 30 people. One of the fastest-growing startups in the country.

My vision was to build a $1B company with 10 engineers - I'm evolving that now.

Since then, our Toronto office expanded far beyond engineering and has become HQ for 20+ brilliant people building at the edge of technology and entrepreneurship.

There are 2 major tech hubs in the world — SF and Toronto.

And while SF has access to capital and a developed VC ecosystem, California seems to be working against its own interest.

I mean… who wants to become a billionaire in California now? 👎

Anyway — Canada paid me $750K last year for building here.

And I'm paying it back to Canadian builders.

January 23. Hackathon in Toronto. 60 builders. $20,000 grand prize.

Come join us — and let the prize be the seed funding for your company (or use the opportunity to interview at Stan — whatever your ambition is).

Invite-only (curating a high calibre room!)

📩 To apply, drop your proudest project in one sentence in the comments. I'll reach out with an invite if it resonates.

I'm paying $20,000 for 2 days of someone's work on Jan 23.

Early in my career, 

I was making $8,000/mo writing code for a big company, while hacking away on side projects. I always wanted to work for myself.

One day, I was in a room with an entrepreneur who was upset about fees he was paying for software. So I asked:

V: How much are you paying?
M: 10%.

V: And how much money is that?
M: $50K/year.

My mind goes: no wonder he's upset. I bet I could do a simple Stripe integration with 3.4% fees. I already did something similar for my side project.

V: If I could get your fees down to 5%, how much would that be worth to you?
M: I'd pay $10K without even thinking.

V: I'm gonna do it for you for $10K.

It took me a weekend — 3 days (nights included), mostly repackaging code I already had across other projects.

I gave him a demo on Monday, and by Friday, $10,000 landed in my PayPal.

That weekend I learned: the right room + the right skills = life-changing opportunity. 

And now, I want to put you in that room 👇

January 23. Hackathon in Toronto. 60 builders. $20,000 grand prize. 
Invite-only. 

📩 To apply, drop your most impactful build story in the comments — I'll personally reach out to the builders I want in the room.

I hired my Executive Assistant because of her napkin drawing 📜

Her name is Esther.

A year ago, I was looking for an Executive Assistant. 

Looking for the top 1%, I needed a way to test problem-solving and initiative.

So I gave candidates a creative test:

I was building a frame for a flying car as a passion project at the time.

How many ppl know anything about flying cars anyway? 🤷‍♂️

I wrote down an abstract description of a few parts I needed.

The assignment was to research machine shops and find a way to manufacture them 

When I reviewed Esther's submission, she had a picture of this drawing inside (see the image).

I invited her to my office:

V: "Do you know anything about manufacturing?"
E: "No… I study business and fashion"
V: "How did you get this image?"
E: "They drew it for me at the machine shop"
V: "You went to the machine shop?"

(I reviewed a few dozen submissions by then. All candidates just called).

E: "I called first but what they were saying didn't quite fit what you were looking for"

E: "I figured it'd be easier if I just go there to figure it out. "
E: "So I just walked over." 

V: "That must've taken hours. Why invest that time?"

E: "Umm... I didn't really think about it. I wasn't getting what I needed. So I did what I had to do."

Having heard this I knew the interview was over.

Anyone who thinks like that will succeed in anything they do.

She got the job.

And since then, Esther was behind a number of very unique experiences we created at Stan:

Like making the big $750K CRA cheques, organizing Hacker Houses in SF and hosting AI Hackathons on Toronto. 

Congratulations on your 1 year at Stan, Esther!

Hiring - Emily in Stan

I'm paying $20,000 in January to the winner of my hackathon. But the real prize isn't the $20K.

The room matters more than the prize.

When I was 13, my dad gave me a gift — working alongside him.

He's a professional skydiver. Extreme sport, expensive hobby. His clients are top-tier business people (natural selection — the sport isn't cheap) 🪂

So in between sessions when we went out for saunas and dinners, I got to sit in and listen to them. War stories, betrayals, deals, schemes, mental models, what made them successful.

I absorbed it all, without even realizing it.

Looking back, I realize — those were the building blocks that led me to a $30M ARR startup, running at $1M/employee before AI.

And that's the opportunity I'm giving you.

Join Stan on January 23 to build for 2 days alongside my team and 59 other builders competing for a grand prize of $20,000.

→ Meet me, my team, and Toronto's best builders.
→ Maybe your future co-founder — or I offer you a job. (It happened last year.)

The $20K is nice. The room might change your life.

January 23. Toronto. Invite-only.

I asked a seasoned exec about his worst business decision.

He didn't miss a beat: "Cancelling the 9am."

For 10 years, he ran it daily.
The 2 years he stopped were his worst.

Without that anchor, people drifted in at 9:30.
Add coffee and "how was your weekend" — real work started at 11.

Half the day, gone.

The meetings weren't about updates.
They set the rhythm.

Remove that, and people rebuild discipline from scratch.
Exhausting.

At Stan, when we skip our morning sync, everything drags.

We don't miss the information.
We miss the rhythm.

Humans need structure.
It gives them permission to just start.

What’s your version of the 9am?

Someone asked me what I hope never changes about Stan in 5 years.

Me in 5 seconds: 

"Our commitment to talent density."

I'm building a company where having worked here is the ultimate badge of honor on a resume.

Where any other employer would be fighting to get our alumni on board. 
(If they ever want to work for another company, that is.)

I fundamentally believe the reason we win is this: We attract top 1% talent.

And we put them in an environment where their ability can be utilized to its absolute maximum potential.

With ownership, autonomy, and a set of large, cutting-edge problems they can tackle.

Everything else can change. 
The market, the product, our size.

But for me, it will always be about the talent.

Founders Q: What's the one thing you hope never changes about your company?

This year, I finally found where I belong. Coaching. Delivering Trainings. Learning & Development. Toastmasters: Human Connection.

And as I look at this visual, thank you for the idea Stanley (Your Content Coach) and Vitalii Dodonov, I see my entire "purple" year captured in one image. Learn. Grow. Repeat. The infinity loop between Heedership and Leadership. The three pillars. The magic.

I don't know exactly what's coming. And that's the most exciting part.

What I do know: I'm ready. Curious. Open.

It is never too late to become who you might have been.
And it's never too early to dream about who you're still becoming.

Pure magic. 💜

𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤-𝐢𝐧: What are you curious about for 2026?

5x Sales Leader / 4x Founder / 3x Certified / 2x Dad / 1x exit / Talkspace, Stryker, Headspace, Equinox, LetsGetChecked, Mighty Mind / matthewsavarick.com

I'm a CEO and revenue architect who helps B2B SaaS companies and professional services firms scale from $5M to $50M and beyond without breaking their systems or their leaders.

Most companies hit a ceiling because they lack scalable revenue operations OR they lack leaders who can run them. 

I solve both.

Started in the mailroom. Became a CRO. And now the CEO of Vibe GTM.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗗𝗢:

I build revenue infrastructure through Vibe GTM:
→ Outbound systems and pipeline architecture
→ Sales operations and CRM optimization  
→ Go-to-market strategy and revenue operations
→ Systems you own forever that generate pipeline without adding headcount

I coach executives through the transitions growth demands:
→ Operators becoming CEOs
→ High performers hitting ceilings
→ Leaders who need a partner who's been in the chair

𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗜 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛:

→ B2B SaaS companies (product-led and sales-led growth)
→ Professional services firms (finance, PE/VC, consulting, advisory)
→ PE/VC portfolio companies (revenue operations and value creation)

Most clients see results within 45 days. Most see 300%+ ROI on revenue systems.

𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗:

Scaled revenue at Headspace, Talkspace, Stryker, and TriNet. $2.3B+ in enterprise value created. Early-stage investor in 30+ companies.

What makes me different: I studied neuroscience at UCLA and University of Florida. It taught me that leadership is a performance problem, not just a strategy problem. The best systems fail when the human running them breaks.

Most consultants only see systems. Most coaches only see humans. I see both.

The real foundation came from circus camp as a teenager. Balance, trust, improvisation, performing under pressure. I learned it from acrobats before I learned it in boardrooms.

TEDx talk coming February 2026: "Be Chalant." Why the best leaders care deeply instead of playing it cool.

𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗦𝗘:

Revenue operations • GTM strategy • B2B sales & marketing • Executive coaching • Sales leadership • Pipeline generation • Go-to-market • SaaS growth • Professional services scaling • PE/VC portfolio optimization • Founder and CEO coaching • Sales enablement • Revenue architecture • Outbound systems

Today, it’s my birthday.
This is 40.

I thought it would be fun to make a video about “how sales feels when you finally get a YES.”

Ashley wore her actual wedding dress 👰 

Enjoy!

p.s., lmk if you like this format 

p.p.s., 40 Things I'd Tell My Younger Self… 
(from someone who's still figuring it out)

🧠 On Mindset & Inner Game
1. Confidence comes from keeping promises to yourself. Start small, stack wins
2. Don't confuse discomfort with danger. Growth always feels uncertain
3. You're not lazy, you're misaligned. Energy flows from clarity
4. Rest is strategy, not weakness. Recovery creates capacity
5. What you avoid controls you. What you face transforms you
6. Your thoughts aren't facts. Your actions create evidence
7. Most problems dissolve with a walk, sleep, or a boundary
8. Celebrate progress, not perfection. The gap never closes anyway
9. You can hold ambition and gratitude simultaneously. They fuel each other
10. Who you become matters more than what you achieve

💼 On Work & Building
11. Go slow to go fast. The best decisions come from stillness, not panic
12. Treat your calendar like sacred space. Design your life into it first
13. If it's not a clear yes, it's stealing energy from what matters
14. Do fewer things, better, longer. Compounding beats chasing shiny objects
15. Build systems, not just hustle. Hustle burns out. Systems compound
16. Your reputation is built in quiet moments, not during the pitch
17. Hire for energy and character. Everything else can be taught
18. Process creates peace. Build it once, use it forever
19. Sustainable output beats heroic sprints. Play the long game
20. Your business should fuel your life, not consume it

🎯 On Focus & Decision-Making
21. Never outsource your self-worth to outcomes. You are not your numbers
22. Discipline isn't punishment, it's freedom with intention
23. Don't let urgent hijack important. Protect what compounds
24. Play long-term games in a short-term world. That's your advantage
25. You can't think your way out of overthinking. Move your body instead
26. Every breakthrough starts in boredom or stillness. Embrace both
27. It's not about being right, it's about being real
28. What you resent reveals where you're giving away power
29. Regulate yourself before trying to regulate the world
30. The real flex is doing hard things when no one's watching

💝 On People & Connection
31. Ask better questions. People will show you exactly who they are
32. Lead with clarity, not charisma. Clear beats clever every time
33. Being fully present is the highest form of respect
34. It's not your job to impress, it's your job to serve
35. Say "I don't know" more often. Curiosity builds trust

I built 3 Claude skills that handle my outreach research, find the right angle, and write the message. Everything runs inside Claude.

No extra tools. No switching tabs.

I've used these on every campaign for the past year. Finally packaged them up to share.

Here's what they do:

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁 𝟭 → 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝟮 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀

Paste a website or LinkedIn URL. Get back who they sell to, what they're focused on, and what problems they're likely facing.

Not a generic summary. Specific intel you can actually use.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁 𝟮 → 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲

Uses the research to suggest 5 reasons to reach out.

Not "I'd love to connect." Real angles tied to their world.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁 𝟯 → 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲

Takes your angle and writes the email or LinkedIn DM.

3 versions. Pick the one that fits.

Why this matters:

Every outreach message starts the same way Research. Angle. Message.

Most people spend hours on this. Or skip it and sound generic. Or simply don't do it. 

These prompts do it in minutes. And because they're connected, everything stays consistent.

The research informs the angle. The angle informs the message. It all ties together.

Want them?

Comment "OUTREACH" and I'll DM you the file.

Paste into Claude and you're good to go.

I used to think burnout came from working too hard or hearing "no" too many times.
After 18 years in revenue, I think the real drain is different. 

It's the asks you never make.

- The founder who spends 3 weeks "warming up" a prospect instead of just asking for the meeting. 
- The exec who rehearses the compensation conversation so many times they never have it. 
- The partner who dances around pricing for months because the timing never feels right.

That mental energy adds up. 

Every "I'll bring it up next week" becomes weight you carry. 
Every "they're probably not ready to hear this" is a story that protects you from a two-minute conversation.

We call it patience. 
Usually it's avoidance.

And here's the part nobody talks about: this isn't a skill problem. 
Most people know exactly what to do and what to say. 

The hesitation isn't in the head. It's in the body. It's a nervous system response to perceived risk.

The founders and execs I work with who move fastest aren't more talented. 

They've just learned to make the ask before the story kicks in. 
Fast no beats slow maybe. 
A clear answer beats an open loop every time.

Make the ask. Get the answer. Move forward.

Revenue Systems + Executive Coaching for B2B ($5M-$50M) | Scale Without Breaking | CRO turned CEO, Vibe GTM | Scaled Headspace, Stryker, TriNet | TEDx

On February 4, 2026, I’ll step onto the TEDx stage in Boca Raton.

The talk is called 'Be Chalant.'

It’s about something most of us were trained out of.
Caring.

Somewhere along the way, we learned that maturity means staying composed.
That strength means staying unfazed.
That looking cool is safer than being fully in it.

I don’t believe that anymore.

This talk is personal:
- Circus camp.
- My mom Jan.
- Becoming a father.
- A song I sing to my kids every night (A Million Dreams).

But the point is simple.
We confuse emotional control with emotional absence.

And we pay for it.

In our relationships.
In our work.
In our lives.

This isn’t a lecture.

It’s a permission slip:
To feel again.
To play again.
To bring some heat back into the room.

Grateful to TEDx Mizner Blvd for the invitation to speak here in my home town of Boca Raton, Fl.

Grateful for the people in my life who never let me lose my muchness.

More to come.

Compounding revenue infrastructure for B2B companies ($5M–$50M) | CEO, Vibe GTM | Scaled Headspace, Talkspace, Stryker, TriNet | Handstand Champ

Tonight my mom does what she’s done for 40 years.

She goes deep.

Jan Savarick has spent her career going wide across Boca Raton. 
- Over $850 million raised. 
- Hundreds of nonprofits touched. 
- A community shaped by her fingerprints.

But tonight at the 28th Annual OPAL Awards, she goes deep.

OPAL stands for Outstanding People And Leaders. It’s a Rotary International - The Rotary Club of Boca Raton event she’s co-chaired for years. 

The gala honors local philanthropists. 
But the real mission is what happens after.

Every single dollar raised tonight funds scholarships for students who wouldn’t otherwise have a shot. College and university degrees. 
Trade certifications. 
Career training. 
Mentors. 
Jobs.

Kids from struggling backgrounds getting the same opportunities I had.

My mom taught me that you can touch thousands of people across a community. 
And you can change the trajectory of one student who becomes the first in their family to graduate.

The best leaders do both.

Tonight she’s wearing the same little black dress she wore to my bar mitzvah.

Proud of you, Mom.

Install Predictable Revenue Engines | Revenue Systems & Infrastructure for $1M-$100M B2B Companies | Trusted Advisor to Families, Founders & Enterprises

I wake up every day to help founders and leaders install the systems that scale their growth.. without sacrificing their sanity.

I Build Dual-Track Growth Systems:
One drives revenue. The other drives resilience.

Over the past 17 years, I’ve built revenue systems for billion-dollar brands (Headspace, Talkspace), led elite GTM teams (Stryker, TriNet), and coached founders and operators at companies like Slack, Ramp, Flo, Citadel, and Pray.com.

But logos don’t tell the full story.
What matters most is this:

Growth without clarity leads to burnout.
Growth without systems leads to chaos.
Growth without leverage? It doesn’t last.

So now, I help leaders build both:

EXTERNAL: Revenue Systems for $1M–$10M B2B Founders

We install AI-powered outbound infrastructure that creates:
• Predictable pipeline
• Scalable outbound systems
• Strategic positioning that cuts through noise
• Conversion frameworks rooted in buyer psychology
• Lean automation workflows (Clay, Apollo, Bland AI)

We call it Vibe GTM™ --> built in 30 days.
No more headcount. 
No tech bloat. 
Just compounding conversations that convert.

INTERNAL: Operating Systems for Executives & Founders

We optimize:
• Energy calibration & execution rhythm
• Cognitive clarity & decision hygiene
• Nervous system regulation & burnout prevention
• Culture architecture & leadership identity

This is performance coaching re-engineered for the AI era.
Neuroscience-backed. Behaviorally sound. Built to scale you and your team.

Why This Matters More Than Ever
AI has made enterprise-grade GTM tools available to lean teams.
But without the internal capacity to execute, it all breaks.

That's what I solve for:
Growth that compounds.. without chaos or burnout.

📩 Ready to install the system that frees you from founder-led bottlenecks and builds a business that runs while you live?

The coach never raised his voice.

That's what I remember most.

5:30 a.m. practices. 
Shuttle runs in the early bird mornings.
A hyperactive kid who couldn't sit still in class.

Every other adult in my life was trying to fix me.
Coach Carr was trying to build me.

He had this phrase: 
"High expectations, high support."

He'd push me harder than anyone (well, maybe not Jan... but close!). 
Then he'd sit with me after practice and play chess until my mind finally slowed down.

Discipline and empathy in the same breath.

I didn't understand it then.
Now I build companies around it.

The best systems I've ever designed follow Coach Carr's framework:
→ High standards. Clear accountability. No excuses.
→ Real support. Actual resources. Room to fail forward.

Most leaders pick one.
They're either demanding or supportive.
Rarely both.

But "high expectations, high support" isn't soft.
It's how you build people who don't need you to carry them.

It's how you build teams that compound.

Coach Carr passed a few years back.
I still hear his voice every time I'm tempted to lower the bar or pull back the support.

Today, Ashley carries that same energy.

Partner. Wife. Business partner. All of it.

She holds the bar high and shows up when it matters.

The people who shape you don't choose between pushing hard and caring deeply.

They do both.

That's the formula.

The best salespeople I know don't sound like salespeople.

They sound like advisors.

I've watched this shift happen across dozens of deals in the last 18 months.

The old playbook is dying fast...

Cold outreach spam.
Feature dumping.
Gatekeeping information until the demo.
Pressure tactics to close.

Buyers are exhausted. They've seen every trick.
They can smell commission breath through their inbox.

The new playbook is simpler: help people buy.

Lead with insight, not a pitch.
Solve problems, not push products.
Give away your best thinking for free.
Play the long game on trust.

Three things separating winners from the rest:

1. AI as co-pilot, not autopilot.
Use it for research and personalization.
Keep humans in the loop.
Spend your time on relationships, not admin.

2. Diagnose before you prescribe.
Deep industry expertise matters more than product knowledge.
Quantify value in ROI and risk reduction.
Be the consultant, not the vendor.

3. Enable the buyer, not just your sales team.
Simplify their buying journey.
Give them resources to champion you internally.
Help them build consensus.

The irony?

When you stop trying to sell, you start closing more deals.

Trusted advisors win.
Vendors get ghosted.

The companies scaling fastest right now aren't hiring more reps.

They're building systems that help buyers say yes.

Stop selling. Start helping.

LinkedIn's algorithm update broke a lot of strategies.

It also created the clearest path to pipeline we've ever had.

Here's what actually happened:
- LinkedIn replaced 12 separate algorithms with one AI system.
- 150 billion parameters.
- It reads everything.

Your posts.
Your profile.
Your engagement patterns.
Your conversion behavior.

Old system rewarded volume and virality.
New system rewards clarity and conversion.

This is good news if you're willing to adapt.

Most founders are still optimizing for 2025:
- Generic hooks for maximum reach.
- Broad topics to appeal to everyone.
- Celebrating likes that lead nowhere.

Meanwhile, a smaller group figured out the new rules.
They're getting less engagement and more pipeline.

Here's what the new algorithm actually rewards:

1. Clarity beats cleverness.
Your profile tells the algorithm who sees your content.
Specific headline = specific audience = actual buyers.

2. Hooks carry 80% of the weight.
First 2 sentences get 3-5x more processing.
Lead with the insight. The buildup earns nothing.
(Ogilvy was right afterall!) 

3. Saves beat likes 5 to 1.
Saves signal "I need this later."
That's buying intent.
Frameworks get saved. Hot takes get forgotten.

4. Comment threads beat comment counts.
The algorithm measures discussion depth.
10 people talking to each other beats 50 "Great post!" replies.

5. Lane consistency builds trust.
Pick 2-3 topics. Stay there 90 days.
The algorithm learns who you serve.
Then it finds more of them.

Give time, time. 

The opportunity has never been clearer.

Stop optimizing for applause.
Build the system that converts.

Systems scale. Humans don't.

Hard work doesn't burn people out.
Poor leadership does.

We blame burnout on the work.

Too many hours.
Too much pressure.
Too high expectations.

But that's not what breaks people...

What actually does:
→ Lack of appreciation for effort
→ Leaders who ignore feedback
→ No support when things get hard
→ Unclear direction that wastes energy
→ Micromanagement that signals distrust
→ Constant urgency with no prioritization
→ Impulsive decisions that undo good work
→ Tolerating toxic people who drain the team
→ Information hoarding that creates confusion

Notice what's missing from this list?

Hard work.

I've seen teams operate at elite levels with zero burnout.
I've seen teams work 35 hours a week and fall apart.

The difference isn't the hours. 
It's the system.

People can work incredibly hard and thrive.
If the leadership supports them.
If the infrastructure holds.
If the communication is clear.

Burnout is a leadership failure.
Not an effort failure.

Your best people aren't tired.
They're unsupported.

Fix the system. Not the schedule.

I manifested this life 18 years ago.

Not exactly this moment.

My daughter is sitting on my lap with a low-grade fever while I work from home.. for myself.

But the vision? 
A family. A peaceful home. A healthy body. Working for myself. Making money on the internet… in our pjs.

That started August 21, 2008.

I took my first real job amid the financial crash. 
The alarm hit at 4:40 a.m. 
I had to drive 113 miles to a hospital before a patient's surgery.

I tiptoed past my roommate snoring on the couch. 
He'd been out dancing the night before. 
I couldn't go.

4:40 a.m. doesn't care about your social life.

Hindsight is 20/20.

But in the moment? 
Lonely. 
Dark. 
Painful.

I traded my 20s for that alarm.

Every. Single. Time.

My friends lived theirs. I chose the long drive over the late night. The vision over the moment.

I'll never regret that decision.

Because right now, my daughter is on my lap.
She's got a fever.
And I'm not driving 100 miles to a hospital.

I'm home.

The sacrifice wasn't the hard part.

Trusting the vision when no one else could see it — that was the hard part.

If you're in that season right now, keep going.

The alarm is worth answering.

Don’t snooze on this moment.

The bamboo tree does nothing for 1,000 days.

Then shoots up 9 feet in a week.

I think about this every time a founder or leader calls me frustrated.

"Matt, we built the system. It's been 60 days. Pipeline hasn't moved."

I get it. I've been there.

(thank you coach Jade and Will for the image inspo)

You invested in infrastructure instead of another rep. 
You documented the process instead of just closing deals yourself. 
You built the thing everyone said would change everything.

And now? Crickets.

Here's what I've learned watching this pattern across dozens of companies:
The system is working. You just can't see it yet.

The bamboo isn't doing nothing underground. It's building a root system strong enough to support 90 feet of growth in a month.

Your revenue infrastructure is doing the same thing.

But most founders and execs quit right before the roots take hold.

Three things that keep you in the game:

1. Track roots, not shoots.
Stop staring at revenue. Start measuring what creates it.
Conversations started. Discovery calls booked. Proposals sent. Time-to-response.

Revenue is the bamboo above ground. These metrics are the roots.


2. Give systems 90 days before you judge.
You wouldn't fire a new hire after 10 days. Don't do it to your infrastructure.

Tweaking everything before anything has a chance to work is the trap.


3. Don't build alone.
Systems work is lonely. Especially when no one can see the progress but you.
Find someone who's done it. Someone who can look at your leading indicators and tell you: 

"You're closer than you think."


Those who break through aren't smarter.

They trust the roots longer.

Sunday morning. Publix run. Four tiny hands on tiny steering wheels.

This is it. This is the whole thing.

I used to measure success in closed deals and revenue targets. Now I measure it in moments like this one.

Not because business stopped mattering. Because I finally understood what business is for.

These moments are fleeting. My kids won't fit in this cart much longer. They won't want to steer with Dad behind them forever.

So I'm learning a skill they don't teach in business school: finding joy in ordinary moments.

Presence isn't passive. It's a practice.

You have to choose it. Over the phone. Over the mental to-do list. Over the illusion that happiness lives somewhere in the future.

The grocery store isn't a task to complete. It's 67 minutes of my kids steering past pyramids of strawberries and walls of bananas like they're on a jungle expedition.

That's worth noticing.

What ordinary moment are you rushing past today?

We’ve been sold a specific version of success.

It looks like the corner office, the fast car, and the heavy watch.

We are told that once we get the objects, we get the peace.

But that is a lie.

I know an executive with a $58,000 Patek on their wrist who hasn’t slept through the night in 2 years.

I know founders with 7-figure exits who are still terrified of Monday mornings.

Why?

Because true wealth isn't the object.

It’s the freedom of time to actually enjoy it without rushing to the next crisis.

It’s the quiet morning at the farmer’s market.
It’s the deep presence with your children.
It’s the calm nervous system that knows "I am safe."

But here is the hard truth that most ignore:

You cannot practice presence if your nervous system is in fight-or-flight.

You can’t hack Maslow’s Hierarchy.

You cannot focus on the top of the pyramid (Peace, Creativity, Legacy) if the bottom of the pyramid (Revenue, Security, Stability) is shaking.

And right now? 

The foundation is shaking.
- We’re reading headlines that 50% of white-collar roles are becoming redundant.
- AI models are outpacing senior engineering teams by miles.
- 89% of Professional Services are stuck in a feast-or-famine loop, scraping by on less than $100k (Stripe Earnings Report ‘25)

If you are worried about your 26Q1 projections, you aren't looking at the sunset. 
You’re looking at the numbers in your head.

The real flex isn't just "choosing" to be zen.
The real flex is building the infrastructure that allows you to be zen.

For me, that is a 5x pipeline.

It is an always-on, 24/7/365 revenue engine (fueled by content and conversations) that runs while I sleep, while I play, and while I live.

That pipeline handles the "Safety" layer of Maslow’s hierarchy.

And because that is handled, I finally have the luxury to enjoy the "Presence" layer.

Don't just chase the symbol of success.
Build the engine that pays for your peace of mind.

That is the new rich.

Revenue infrastructure for B2B companies ($5M–$50M)

No alternative text description for this image

Pipeline dies when you step away. 
That's not a sales problem. That's a systems problem.

You've tried hiring your way out of this. 
It didn't work.

Here's what does.

1️⃣ Foundation: Diagnose before you build
Run ICP workshops and revenue audits
Identify your #1 bottleneck blocking scale

Track: pipeline coverage, revenue per employee, CAC

2️⃣ Infrastructure: Install the leverage
Set up prospecting platforms and automation tools
Build signal-based lists and repeatable workflows

Track: list quality, ICP match rate, hours saved per week

3️⃣ Execution: Launch and learn
Run multi-channel campaigns across email and social
Book qualified meetings consistently

Track: meetings booked, reply rates, cost per meeting

4️⃣ Optimization: Double down on winners
Analyze performance and test messaging variants
Scale what works, cut what doesn't

Track: pipeline coverage (4-5x target), conversion rates, CAC payback

5️⃣ Scale: Build systems that compound
Create workflows that generate pipeline without you in the loop
Shift from operator to optimizer

Track: net revenue retention, meetings generated without you, expansion revenue

Using this system, we've helped clients achieve: 
→ 62 meetings in 45 days 
→ 3x pipeline in 101 days 
→ 80-120 qualified meetings per month consistently

No more hiring and hoping. No more founder dependency. No more random acts of sales.

The old playbook: hire, train, hope. 
The new playbook: diagnose, install, scale.

I shared a free toolkit on LinkedIn last week.

Here's what happened:
- My neighbor stopped me on a run to ask about Claude. 
- My community partner brought it up at my daughter's 7th birthday party.
- Hundreds of DMs from people I haven't talked to in years.

One post. One toolkit. One week.

Here it is: 
https://lnkd.in/eGF9wvae

The toolkit: 
3 AI prompts that turn any company into a personalized outreach message.

I built it in public using Claude x Manus AI

No developers. 
No design team. 
Just me and an AI assistant figuring it out together.

Here's what I learned:

The hypothesis: 
People don't want another PDF. They want something they can use immediately. So I built a web app instead.

The structure: 
Section 1 → The toolkit (prompts, framework, checklist) 
Section 2 → The blueprint (the 95/5 rule, the 7-11-4 rule, the 3 levels of outreach maturity)

Give them the win fast. Reward the curious with depth.

The unlock: This isn't just for sales and marketing teams.

A coach could use this to reach potential clients. 
A consultant could use this to land enterprise accounts. 
A lawyer could use this for business development. 
An accountant could use this during tax season outreach. 
A wealth manager could use this to connect with HNW prospects. 
A SaaS founder could use this to book demos without an SDR team.

Same framework. Different ICP. Same result.

What I'm thinking now: I want to build more of these. 
In public. 

With your input:
What use case would help you? 
What industry are you in? 
What's the outreach problem you can't solve?

Drop a comment. Let's build the next one together.

PS: The timing couldn't be better. Yesterday Claude went live in Excel. Now it's embedding into Slack, Figma, Asana, Canva, Clay and more. Draft messages, build timelines, create designs without switching tabs. The tools are only getting better. The question is whether you're building with them.

I started in the mailroom.

Not metaphorically. Actual mail. Actual room.

Fifteen years later I was CRO at companies you've heard of.

What got me there wasn't talent.
It was reps.

Every pitch that got rejected. 
Every cold call that went to voicemail. 
Every deal that fell apart at the finish line. 
Shots on goal.

Success looks like breakthroughs from the outside.

From the inside? 
It's showing up tomorrow when today gave you nothing.

The mailroom taught me three things.
1. Skill compounds. But only if you stay in the game.
2. Work is work. It's all just reps.
3. Pace beats intensity.

The founders who win long-term aren't the ones who sprint hardest. They're the ones who build a rhythm they can sustain. 

A motion. A rhythm.
A system that works when they're not.

Reps. Consistency. Sustainable pace.

That's the formula.

It was true in the mailroom. It's true at $50M ARR.

"What does infrastructure actually look like?"

Here's the 7-step system we run every single day:

Here's the exact 7-step system we run every day:
Step 1 → LinkedIn profile becomes a landing page (Figma, Claude, LinkedIn, Canva)

Step 2 → Content targets ICP pain points (Magicpost, Claude, Taplio)

Step 3 → Track who's engaging with what (Trigify, Clay, Teamfluence)

Step 4 → Identify anonymous website visitors (Vector, Clay, RB2B, Warmly)

Step 5 → Route inbound automatically to sales (Calendly, Tally.so, Clay, Chili Piper)

Step 6 → AI researches every account in real-time (Clay, Claude, ChatGPT, FindyMail, BetterContact)

Step 7 → Multi-channel re-engagement sequences (Instantly, HeyReach, Lemlist, Smartlead)

Most people run these as separate tactics.
We orchestrate all seven. All day. Automated.

Each layer feeds the next. Each layer compounds.

He asked to see one system.
I showed him seven working together.

Infrastructure beats effort. Every time.

The top skill of the future is outreach.

AI writes. AI builds. AI automates.

But growth still depends on one thing:

>>> You reaching another human <<<

If you practice outreach every day, you gain leverage.
If you avoid it, you stay dependent.

Freedom follows contact.

What daily outreach gives you:
→ Conversations that don't exist on job boards
→ Deals that never hit the open market
→ Income paths you can't Google
→ Insurance against layoffs
→ Controlling your time

Most people wait to be discovered.
Winners create connection.

One message per day changes your options.
Ten per day changes your career.
100 per day changes your life.

Sales feels like asking.
Outreach feels like building.

That's the difference.

Outreach is not sales.
It is autonomy. 
It is mastery.
It is agency.
It is freedom.

4 minutes. That's how long it took Claude to do what used to take my team 4 days.

I've tested dozens of AI tools across 112 client projects.
Most collected dust after week one.

These six stuck.

1. Claude 4.5 - My default for deep work. I paste 40-page contracts, get risk flags in minutes. Handles long context without losing the thread.

2. ChatGPT-5.2 - The utility player. Fast image gen, voice brainstorms, custom GPTs for repetitive workflows. Not my core, but always in the rotation.

3. Perplexity - Replaced 80% of my Google searches. Competitor research with sources I can actually cite. No hallucinations on market data.

4. Gemini 3 - Best if you live in Google Workspace. Solid on SEO and multimodal. Output feels more corporate than Claude or ChatGPT.

5. Grok 4.1 - Interesting for real-time social listening. Not in my daily stack yet. Accuracy is still inconsistent.

6. DeepSeek V3.2 - The budget play. Strong on technical problems at a fraction of US model costs.

What's missing matters too.
Copilot and a dozen others didn't make the cut. Not because they're bad. Because I don't use them weekly.

This isn't a "best tools" list.
It's a "what actually ships" list and what I use.

The right model for the job changes your output economics.
Stop using one tool for everything.

What's in your stack that I'm missing?

I analyzed my last 37 posts this week.

The results surprised me.

My best-performing content? 
- Stories about Coach Carr. 
- Waking up at 4:40 a.m. for a job I struggled with.
- My daughter sitting on my lap with a fever.

My worst-performing content?
Frameworks. Metaphors. Tactical breakdowns.

The bamboo tree post I made with my kids I was proud of? Crickets.

The post about my 20s that felt scary to write? 3x the engagement.

Here's what I realized:

People don't connect with your ideas.
They connect with you.

YOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUUUU

The posts that feel risky to publish are usually the ones that land.

Because vulnerability isn't weakness. It's proof you're human.

This is true in content. It's also true in sales.

The best salespeople I know don't lead with frameworks.
They lead with stories.
They share what they've learned the hard way.
They let you see the person behind the pitch.

That's what builds trust.
And trust is what closes deals.

Three things I'm changing:

1. Lead with the story, not the lesson.
The lesson earns its place after the reader cares.

2. If it feels scary, it's probably worth posting.
Comfort is a signal you're playing it safe.

3. Stop hiding behind frameworks.
Tactics are easy. Being seen is hard.

The irony?

The content that feels most exposed performs best.
The content that feels safest disappears.

Your audience doesn't need another framework.

They need to know you're human.
