Let’s be honest — most people have no idea what they’re talking about when it comes to AI... but they’ll pretend they do.

In this conversation, I pull back the curtain on what I’m actually doing with artificial intelligence, how I’m thinking about it, and why humility is the cheat code in an era where everyone’s faking it.

This episode is for the leaders, the curious, and the ones who don’t want to get left behind. Whether you’re a CMO or a student, this is your wake-up call to stop peacocking and start practicing.

We talk about:

• Why pretending to know AI is more dangerous than not knowing

• The power of “maybe” in a black-and-white world

• What I learned watching execs fake their way through Web2, crypto, and now AI

• How to approach AI without fear — and without needing to be an expert

• Why the best marketers are operators, not talking heads

• “And” vs. “or” — the mindset shift that changed everything for me

If you're sitting on the sidelines waiting to understand AI before jumping in, you're already behind.

In this throwback keynote from Elevate 2017 in Copenhagen — the first 40 minutes of it — I lay out the real game of business in today’s world:

🎯 It’s not about who’s got the best product.
📲 It’s about who’s best at grabbing and keeping attention.

Whether you’re in SaaS, hospitality, DTC, or B2B — this is about understanding that you’re not just in your industry. You’re competing with Netflix, TikTok, your customer’s email inbox, and every other distraction on Earth. The only way to break through? Act like a media company first, and sell second.

I also share some tactical gold: how to leverage Facebook and LinkedIn (yes, still), why “guilt marketing” works, and how the future of voice — Alexa, Google Home, podcasting — is going to create the next land grab.

If you’re serious about growth in 2025, there’s no fluff in this one.

🎙️ We talk about:

• The real reason people ignore your ads

• How to use Instagram DMs to build business relationships that change everything

• Why podcasting and voice search are going to dominate time and behavior

• What most business owners still don’t understand about attention

• How to actually make B2B content that converts

📍 From the ELEVATE 2017 Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark
📆 Recorded in 2017, more relevant than ever in 2025

We’re living in an era where attention is everything, and yet so many people are still sleeping on the opportunity right in front of them. This keynote/Q&A combo from my 2017 trip to Copenhagen hits on a mindset that’s even more relevant now — how to make the most of your time, your brand, and your content strategy in the world we live in today.

Whether you’re an early-stage entrepreneur, an overwhelmed creator, or just trying to figure out how to get more people to care about your thing — this one is loaded with straight truth.

🧠 "People are protecting their time like it's precious when it's actually their biggest asset."

💥 Social Media Changed Everything. Are You Still in Denial?
This is the full keynote and Q&A from my 2022 talk at the NAHREP conference in San Diego — and honestly, it hits harder now than it did back then.

I break down exactly why content is still the most practical way to grow your business, why so many people are still making excuses instead of doing the work, and how the real estate industry — and every industry — is being reshaped by social media, blockchain, and attention shifts.

This isn’t a motivational speech — it’s a wake-up call. The world already changed. TikTok isn’t just for kids. LinkedIn isn’t just for job hunters. Facebook Groups are still gold. If you’re not creating content that builds trust, educates your audience, or puts you top of mind — you’re falling behind, fast.

We talk about:

• Why content on social is still the #1 way to win

• What blockchain and smart contracts mean for real estate

• How to lead your team with empathy — not fear

• The difference between kindness and manipulation

• Why your ego is killing your wallet

• And why “doing the homework” matters more now than ever

This one’s a must-listen for anyone serious about staying relevant.

If you’re trying to turn your side hustle into your main thing but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted… this one’s for you.

Destiny’s been grinding—working a full-time 9-to-5 while building her hair extension business on nights and weekends. But when she came on the show, it was clear she needed a mindset reset more than a marketing plan. I broke it all down with her—why burnout might be coming from the wrong kind of hard work, how to maximize the real hours you have, and why posting on social media is the absolute non-negotiable for growing your biz.

If you’re still sleeping on LinkedIn in 2025, this is your wake-up call 🚨

I’ve been shouting this for a while — the amount of organic reach and business opportunity on LinkedIn right now is insane. In this keynote from a recent Vegas conference, I break down why LinkedIn is behaving like Facebook did back in 2013… and why it’s a massive miss if you’re not capitalizing on it.

I get tactical — what kind of content actually works, how to show up if you're camera shy, and why building a brand is way more powerful than your next cold call. This is about long-term brand over short-term sales. If you're trying to grow your business, hire better people, or finally land that dream investor, this one’s for you.

If I were starting from scratch in 2024, here’s exactly how I’d approach social media marketing 💡

There’s so much confusion right now around what platforms to focus on — especially for beginners. In this episode, I map out the different paths depending on what you sell, who you're selling to, and what kind of creator you actually are. B2B? Start on LinkedIn. Selling merch? Focus on TikTok. Don’t love video? I even give you a strategy using only photos and written word that can still crush.

I also get into how to find underpriced attention, how to think about format changes when your content’s not hitting, and the one thing most people get wrong about "being known."

This one's for the doers ready to make 2024 their breakthrough year 🚀

This Tea episode was wild—in the best way possible. I went deep with a bunch of callers on everything from building personal brands to battling imposter syndrome, choosing between buying a house or opening a dream pizza shop, and even bouncing back after Etsy shut down a six-figure store.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, scared to start, or unsure which way to go—this is the episode for you. There’s a ton of real advice in here, but more than that, it’s energy. It’s fire. It’s the push you need to stop overthinking and start moving.

We talk about:

• Why "perfect" content is killing your momentum

• The truth about followers, DMs, and your first 13 fans

• Whether college still makes sense (especially if you're creative)

• AI, brand building, and the future of search

• What to do when life punches you in the face—and how to fight back

• The pizza shop vs. house debate (and why offense always wins)

• How to grow leads with local ads and repurposed content

• Why soft skills matter and how to find companies that actually care
