I love building small businesses. I went to law school and business school, but I couldn't get excited about going to work for a big consulting or law firm. Small business growth is what I love. I get to do that every day at Infusionsoft... helping OUR business grow by helping tens of thousands of entrepreneurs grow their businesses using our marketing and sales software.
Specialties: All things related to small business growth.
I host the podcast Unthinkable, write the weekly newsletter Playing Favorites, and develop podcasts and docuseries for mission-driven brands, authors, and entrepreneurs. I'm also a frequent keynote speaker, and the author of the book Break the Wheel.
It is my personal, professional mission to help others make work that matters -- to their careers, their companies, and their communities.
I see creativity as a form of problem solving and leadership. It's a means of raising your hand to lead and investigate and improve things, and I want to help others frame their work as such. That can help us see the work and the world better and differently.
Before becoming a content entrepreneur, I held marketing and media roles at Google, HubSpot, and the VC firm NextView.
My biggest ambition and maybe grandest delusion is to be the Anthony Bourdain of business storytelling :)
I know a little about LinkedIn Ads | Breaking Things | Head of Strategy @ Impactable 🧠
Before I lead you in with all my wit and magnetic gravitas, let me come right out with it:
Impactable is THE highest-performing LI marketing agency with unbeatable value.
There are two things that really count towards the right marketing strategy:
Experience
Innovation
Experience means we’ve already taken the L (or two) and learned the hard lessons so you don’t have to. Lucky you. 😅
As a guy with five incredible kids, I know a thing or two about adapting and surviving trying times. 🫡
Innovation is the only trait that keeps you moving at the speed of culture and industry changes. Things that didn’t even exist 10 years ago dominate entire industries today. Adapt to survive; innovate to thrive. No risk of set-it-and-forget strategy packages here.
We’ve leveled up 1400+ brands across more than 30 countries (but if you ask my neighbors, Texas would be considered the 31st).
I show up daily for the difference we make in our clients’ lives. You know you can count on me since I haven’t been sick since September 2021; a hat tip to some combination of Athletic Greens and Sour Patch watermelon.
Whether you’re curious to see if Impactable is a good fit for you, or want to talk about hiking, swimming, or flipping 200lb tires, drop me a message!

I once anchored the news on the back of a LIVE bull (true story). I have parlayed that "rodeo" experience as a journalist into leading marketing, sales, branding, and communications teams. I develop and execute unique and forward-thinking strategies along with 360-degree campaigns for private, corporate, and global brands On top of that, I have served as a keynote speaker/moderator/spokesperson for over 25 years (and now leave the bull riding to the experts).
