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. They’re the ones who keep experimenting, keep refining, and keep showing up—even when they're not getting the reach they want. So, if you’re thinking about creating videos, start today. And if you need help, holler at your boy! ✌️ Put Your Video on Easy ModePS. The best feeling in the world, though, is when I help people post their first-ever video! 💙 |

Your boy is back after a 10-day social media detox. I needed the break. I was getting bored with the content flooding my feed. (including my own) 😢 So I unplugged completely. Spoke at the Empowered Podcasting Conference. Hit Disney World with my family. (even met the Supreme Leader, Kylo Ren).

Hey Reader, I'm coming to you from Charlotte this morning. I'm getting ready to speak at the Empowered Podcasting Conference. (more to come on that next week) 🤗 But let's get into why I'm hitting your inbox today... Last month I dropped an uncut solo podcast. But I never expected what happened next. The outpouring of gratitude, support, and love from the people who listened blew me away. And I understand why. It’s because it was uncut. It was transparent. It was emotional. It was more human...
Crazy story… In January, I hired a podcast consultant to help me launch Free Business School. But I hired him without ever watching his podcast. Not one episode. Why? Every day, he showed up on my LinkedIn feed with clips from his podcast. And without watching a full episode, I got to KNOW him. His expertise. His approach. His personality. That's the power nobody talks about. See, a business podcast is NOTHING like Diary of a CEO, Modern Wisdom, or Joe Rogan. You don’t need celebrity guests...
