I enjoy building products at the forefront of intelligent technology. The next generation won’t be concerned with how to use technology to do things. They will expect technology to do things. And to do it for them.

Last time I checked, 2024. Why is every founder just using LinkedIn to occasionally repost a company page post the SMM slacked? You’re missing out on: - Podcast invitations that build authority. - Industry conferences that build connections. - Brand awareness that gets investors ready to jump on board w/ $$. - Highly-qualified prospects that get to a discovery call with their credit card. - Even occasional lunch invites from other entrepreneurs living around the block. I’ve seen everything founder-led growth can bring. Your experience building a company + your insights in your field of expertise + your podcast appearances + your bold opinions in the industry + your tips & tricks for building a high-performing team + overlapping content between you, the founder, and the company, your brand + everything else in between = founder-led growth 💡 But not without a solid content strategy. But not without years of experience in the social game. But not without the proven systems that get you there faster. Your experience is too valuable to be confined. Send me a DM if you need help!

Z wykształcenia dziennikarz, z zamiłowania dziennikarz, z zawodu pół-dziennikarz (czyli w sumie marketingowiec). Piszę dużo, bo lubię to robić – im trudniejszy temat, tym większe wyzwanie. Dlatego też zahaczałem o tematy najróżniejsze – od ukochanego sportu zaczynając, przez idealne zabawki dla dzieci, aż na działaniu marihuany na zwierzęta kończąc. Fan futbolu i Manchesteru United od, tak przewrotnie, przegranego meczu z Rio de Janeiro w 1999 roku. Oglądam tyle meczów angielskiej Premier League, ile tylko potrafię, a jak napiszę coś słabego, to żartowałem.
