Houston Golden is the founder and CEO of BAMF.com — a growth marketing agency based in Venice Beach, CA.

BAMF is known as the world's leading LinkedIn marketing agency for a reason— they get results. 

With over half a billion organic LinkedIn views, our clients are the most viewed people on LinkedIn. If you’ve spent any time at all on LinkedIn, you’ve seen their posts.

They are the masterminds behind some of LinkedIn’s top influencers and entrepreneurs, including Russell Brunson, Rob Dyrdek, Prince Ea, Mark Manson, Jay Shetty, and dozens more.

But, beyond that, Houston is most passionate about helping smaller entrepreneurs make it big, whether it’s by turning them into industry influencers and lead generation machines, or putting them in a position to hit massive growth.

Houston has authored 5 books on the subject of LinkedIn, known as The LinkedIn Bible Collection, been featured in countless high-profile publications, consulted for Fortune 500 companies, and still remains to be an avid surfer and all-around family man. 

He does all of this because he, too, started out as a struggling entrepreneur before turning $0 in seed capital into a business that’s worth millions of dollars.

From bootstrapping to being recognized as one of Forbes’ Top 12 Innovative Founders. It’s been a wild journey for him.

Charles Adkins

In the multifaceted landscape of technology and finance, my journey spanning two decades has been marked by strategic leadership, innovative financial solutions, and a pioneering spirit in embracing nascent technologies.

My professional and polished communication skills have not only led me to speak at over 50 events in the past 5 years but also to assume leadership roles where relaying complex ideas in a simplified manner has been paramount to growing organizations. 

I spearheaded the creation of a Thought Leadership Council for NFTs, which organized 30 events in 12 countries and amassed 45,000 global members from the world's top companies and governments. This effort has underscored my dedication to the confluence of blockchain technology, finance, and education.

My transparent and optimistic approach, especially when differentiating the genuine technology use-cases of blockchain from currency-focused talking points in public discourse, has been a cornerstone of my journey.

Unlike many in the industry, I’ve navigated spaces with a transparent persona, avoiding anonymity, pseudonyms, or cartoon avatars, ensuring trust and clarity in all interactions. This is something I feel has been needed to build trust with global thought leaders and executives. 

As we stand on the cusp of a technological revolution with AI and quantum computing, my decade-long outlook to the future recognizes the utility of decentralized and verifiable transparent information as essential, extending from governments and enterprises all the way to individual users.

In the very near future, the idea of having a hyper-performant blockchain at the core of your business will not just be a "nice to have" but rather an imperative tool to enact commerce.

Global Lead - Business Development

Key Responsibilities:

Partnership Development: Identify, establish, and nurture strategic partnerships with blockchain projects, technology companies, industry consortia, and other relevant stakeholders. Collaborate with partners to explore synergies, drive integrations, and jointly promote the adoption of the Aptos blockchain.

Market Expansion: Conduct market research to identify new business opportunities, target industries, and potential customers. Develop Go-to-Market strategies to penetrate identified markets and expand the user base of the Aptos blockchain. Work closely with the marketing team to drive awareness and demand generation initiatives.

Relationship Management: Build and maintain strong relationships with existing partners, clients, and industry influencers. Serve as the main point of contact for partners, addressing their needs, and ensuring a high level of satisfaction. Act as a trusted advisor, providing guidance on leveraging the Aptos blockchain to achieve their business objectives.

Deal Negotiation and Closure: Lead the negotiation and closing of partnership agreements, licensing deals, and other business collaborations. Collaborate with legal and finance teams to ensure contracts are in line with company policies and objectives.

Thought Leadership: Established myself as a thought leader in the blockchain industry by participating in industry events, speaking engagements, and contributing to whitepapers or thought leadership articles. Represent Aptos Labs in industry forums and engage in discussions to promote the company's vision and technological advancements.

Competitive Analysis: Monitor the competitive landscape, staying up-to-date with market trends, emerging technologies, and regulatory developments. Provide insights and recommendations to the executive team on potential threats and opportunities in the market.
