I didn't see this coming


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 than 99.99% of the BS on our LinkedIn feeds in 2025.

So I’m giving you another one.

Just more of my unfiltered thoughts about what’s going right and what’s going wrong in building my business and what I’m doing to stay ahead of the curve.

Here’s what we hit on in this episode:

  • Why being “the LinkedIn video guy” was holding me back (and how I’m evolving beyond that label)
  • The $500/month investment that’s making my content 100x more fun to create
  • How my 6-year-old taught me I’m too hard on myself, and what my mentor said to shift my perspective
  • Why I’m choosing life over revenue (but still making more money than last year)
  • The uncomfortable truth about niching down vs. expanding your services

You asked for the realness! Your boy came through.

I was hanging out with homey, Travis, yesterday. He's a seasoned entrepreneur who's owned several businesses. He asked me how things were going. Business is growing. Boys are getting older. Life is good. Yes. Things are moving in the right directon but I'm still digging out of a hole. See, before I started my business, I put myself in a pretty deep financial hole. And while I've made a lot of progress over the last 3 years, I'm still climbing. My wife asks about the house. "When are we...

I was on a Zoom with 12 people who hired me, and I noticed a pattern I had never seen this clearly before. On Monday, we did the kickoff call for the Content on Easy Mode Community. To help everyone get to know each other, we went around the room and did introductions. I didn’t even ask this question, but people started volunteering how they found me and why they joined. Here’s what shocked me: 4 people first discovered me because I presented inside communities they were already part of(and...

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...
