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! 💙 |

I go to the gym every morning. Part of my workout is a 30-40 minute cardio session. I used to do the treadmill, but I hurt my ankle, so I've been on the elliptical. (I'm getting old.) 😢 For the last 3 years, while I do cardio, I've been watching TV shows. I decided to change that up this year. Started last week. Instead of TV shows, I've been watching YouTube videos. All stuff related to my business. How to create better content, how to generate more leads, trends in the social media world I...
99% of business owners I speak to are terrified to niche down. They think that if they get too specific, they'll miss out on sales. Miss out on opportunities. That nobody will see or interact with their content. I get it. It feels risky. But with social media getting more saturated and growth getting harder (especially on LinkedIn), being hyper-niche is actually an unfair advantage, not a concern. Let me explain. If you've ever been to the Carolinas, you've probably seen Cheerwine. It's a...
I just saw this video on social media trends for 2026. No surprise. The number one topic? AI. But here's what I found most interesting... People's resistance towards AI content. Which is ironic. Everybody wants to use AI to go faster. But then they turn around and complain about consuming content that was generated by AI. One of my favorite social media marketing experts, with over a million followers and a billion views, was breaking content into two buckets: AI and human. His advice? Go all...
