Hey friends, if you haven’t looked for a job in a while, let me be real with you: the job search is a total mess. Not because there aren’t opportunities out there, but because the whole system for finding them is—frankly—broken.
I’ve been a solo entrepreneur since 2009, building businesses, launching projects, and creating partnerships. And while I’ve loved the freedom of going it alone, I’ve started to miss the buzz of working in a team.
I’m reaching out today because I need your help. I’m asking my network for referrals and introductions, because, let’s face it, the old “apply online” routine is a nightmare. Almost every response I get is automated, and half the time it feels like my resume just vanishes into a black hole. If you know of a company that needs someone with my experience and passion, I’d love to connect!
Why I’m Ready for a Change
After more than 15 years of solo entrepreneurship, I’ve had my share of wins and challenges. I’ve built companies from scratch, raised millions in startup capital, and created a ton of successful partnerships. I’ve even managed teams of hundreds and coordinated with over 1,500 global contractors. And while these accomplishments are something I’m incredibly proud of, there’s something I’ve been missing: the energy and collaboration that comes from working with a dedicated team.
Working solo has its perks—you get to call all the shots, and you learn a lot along the way. But it can also feel lonely. I miss brainstorming sessions, heated debates that spark brilliant ideas, and simply the joy of being part of something bigger than myself.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: customer-centric marketing. I’m all about building communities, engaging customers, and sharing authentic stories. Whether I’m launching a new product or revamping a brand strategy, I always put people first. And that’s why I’m so excited about the idea of joining a team—where I can bring this passion and experience to help a company grow, innovate, and truly connect with its audience.
What Do I Bring to the Table?
I know my career might seem like a whirlwind of different roles and projects—and that’s because it is!
Here’s a quick rundown of what I’ve been up to:
Digital Innovation & Entrepreneurship
I’m currently a digital nomad, which means I’m fully mobile and can work from anywhere in the world.
I’ve published 26 books on Amazon and own 9 digital magazines, all built on user-generated content.
I founded platforms like One Bite Foodie and Join inCrowd, and I serve as a fractional CMO for multiple brands.
I also host and produce podcasts and live-stream video series that have drawn huge audiences.
Marketing, Growth & Community Building
I’ve raised nearly $4.5 million for my own startups and helped other businesses secure over $80 million in capital.
I’ve managed global product launches for major brands like Lowe’s, Home Depot, Walmart, and Target.
I’ve scaled companies from $30M to $96M in a single year, and from $9M to $28M in three years—all thanks to strategic, customer-focused marketing.
My approach is all about customer-centric marketing: putting the customer at the heart of every decision and turning them into your biggest cheerleaders.
Product Design & Creative Leadership
I started my career in custom lighting design for luxury hotels, casinos, and high-end residences.
I’ve designed two of the world’s largest chandeliers and created thousands of custom lighting fixtures.
My work in retail display systems has set trends for major clothing, headphone, surf, and skate brands.
Why I’m Seeking a New Opportunity
So, why am I on the job hunt now? After years of going it alone, I’ve realized that while solo entrepreneurship is exhilarating, it’s also incredibly isolating. I thrive on the energy that comes from collaboration—the brainstorming, the creative debates, the shared victories. I’m ready to join a team where I can contribute all my diverse skills and, together, drive a company’s growth.
I truly believe that by combining my background in customer-centric marketing with a collaborative team environment, we can build something extraordinary. My mission is to help businesses not just survive, but thrive—by engaging their customers, building lasting communities, and telling stories that resonate.
The Broken Job Search & The Power of Referrals
Let’s be honest: the current job search system is outdated. You submit an application online and almost instantly get an automated “Thank you for your interest” message. It feels impersonal, and it leaves you wondering if your resume even got read.
That’s why I’m turning to my network. Referrals are still the most effective way to land a great position. A personal recommendation can cut through the noise and get you in front of the right decision-makers. I’m asking for your help—if you know of any companies looking for someone with my background and passion, please send them my way!
A Final Word: Building the Future Together
At my core, I’m a believer in community, creativity, and genuine connection. I don’t just want to build a successful business—I want to build a movement, where every decision is rooted in customer-centric marketing. I truly believe that if we work together, we can create an environment where innovation thrives, employees are valued, and businesses grow sustainably.
So, if you think I might be a good fit for your team—or if you know someone who’s looking for a strategic leader with a proven track record—please reach out. Let’s set up a call, have a conversation, and explore how we can build something great together.
