Over the last four years, I’ve posted over 3,000 videos on social media. Even though I was resistant, I got started because I knew I couldn't build the brand and business I wanted without putting myself out there. Writing posts and designing carousels was good. But seeing someone’s face, hearing their voice, and feeling their energy—that’s what truly connects people. Here are my four biggest lessons: Lesson 1: Quantity Leads To QualityI used to overthink every video, but the truth is—the more you create, the better you get. Your first 50 videos will probably suck. That’s fine. Everybody's do. (unless you work with me) You don't get good until you stop caring what everybody else thinks and just hit record. Lesson 2: The Hook Is EverythingThis changed everything for me—for three reasons:
Lesson 3: The Best Ideas Come From Your ExperiencesFinally, I realized the best content isn’t scripted—it’s sparked from the things you do every day. And it came with some unexpected benefits:
Lesson 4: Consistency Beats ViralityViral videos are great, but what really moves the needle is showing up every single week. The founders who win aren’t the ones chasing trends.

And yeah, this is a big deal for me. I built my ENTIRE brand and business doing vertical video on LinkedIn. So why am I doing this? Unfortunately, LinkedIn has some serious UX problems with vertical video. Let me explain… First, let me show you the data. I ran an experiment with my last 20 videos. 10...
All my life, I've been told to think positively. But last week I realized that's TERRIBLE advice. I had a conversation with Evan Marks, a top performance coach who works with elite athletes and entrepreneurs. And he completely shifted my perspective... Success doesn't come from wishful thinking. It DOESN'T come from thinking at all! Success comes from: Taking action before you feel ready Setting realistic expectations for yourself Approaching every task with a positive attitude Here's what...
I have a terrible confession. I am sitting on an absolute goldmine. And I’ve been keeping this from you for over a year now. Lying to you, lying to my clients, lying to everyone. So, here it goes… Every week, I interview high-level experts for their video content. CEOs, founders, marketing experts, sales leaders, you name it. PHEW. Okay, got that off my chest. Now that monkey’s off my back, let me tell you more… As you probably know, I ask them questions, help them share their expertise, and...
