Your Marketing Is Working.
Your Team Isn't Surviving It.

You've got revenue. You've got momentum. But the cost? That's what nobody's talking about.

The Burnout Loop

Your best people are running on fumes. You keep hiring replacements for replacements. The institutional knowledge walks out the door every quarter.

The Hustle Hangover

The "grind harder" playbook got you here. But it's not getting you where you want to go. And somewhere along the way, you stopped enjoying any of it.

The Founder Trap

You're still the bottleneck. Still approving everything. Still the only one who really gets it. That's not a business—that's a hostage situation.

The Casino Strategy

Every launch feels like a bet. Win big, crash hard, scramble for the next one. What if your marketing could compound instead of spike?

Here's the Thing

I Built the Machines.
They Stood in Front of Them.

For nearly a decade, I was the campaign architect behind Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi. I built the launches that moved markets. I created the systems that scaled to 9 figures. And I did it all while raising two kids as a single mum—no safety net, no backup plan.

I've guided billions in client revenue. I've also watched burnout destroy brilliant people. Almost including me.

So I learned to build differently. Systems that protect the team. Creative that compounds. Growth that doesn't require you to set yourself on fire.

Now I run creative strategy for clients doing $190M+ annually—and I teach the methodologies that make it sustainable.

The real flex? Still being in the game 15 years later with your sanity intact.

See Me In Action

Past Talks

Judge for yourself. No highlight reel—just the real thing.

You've Got Questions.
I've Got Answers.

Probably. If not, email me something I haven't heard before.

What makes you different from every other marketing speaker?

I'm an operator, not a theorist. Everything I teach, I've built—often while managing $30-50M/month in ad spend and raising two kids solo. I know what actually works at scale, what breaks, and what the "gurus" conveniently leave out.

Do you do virtual appearances?

Yes, though I prefer in-person when the budget allows. There's something about reading the room that video calls can't quite replicate. But I've done plenty of both and can deliver either way.

What's your speaking fee?

Depends on the event, the audience, and what you need. Let's talk about what you're trying to accomplish first—then we can figure out if I'm the right fit and what that looks like.

Will you sell from stage?

Not unless that's specifically what you want. I'm not here to pitch a course. I'm here to deliver value and make you look good for booking me. If you want me to make an offer, we can discuss that—but it's not my default.

What's your availability?

I'm selective because I still run strategy for clients. That said, I make time for the right events. The sooner you reach out, the better the odds of making it work.

Ready to Book Me?

I'm not going to pretend this is limited availability. But I am selective. If your audience deserves more than generic advice, let's talk.
