I lead an 8-figure creative consulting agency within the Wizard of Ads®, helping ambitious Residential Home Service Contractors and Professional Service Companies 4-10X their revenue profitably with brand-forward sales and marketing solutions. 

It wasn’t always that way, though. I grew up on a retail pirate ship, a disturbingly transactional world. Wheeling, dealing, offers, and gimmicks. My early career in retail and automotive was filled with deception, skullduggery, and friction;

🚫 Bad bosses,
🚫 Questionable practices,
🚫 Toxic work environments, and
🚫 Weaponize fear, shame, and guilt. 

And I mirrored that behavior. I thought it was the right thing to do. I didn’t know what I didn't know. 

I became a strong manager but an equally bad boss. After getting summarily fired for generally bad behavior, I had an existential crisis.

If this was bad, what was good? Did everything have to be such a grind?

It hit me like a ton of bricks. I was the one causing all the friction, not them. When you feel like you're in a room full of imbeciles, you're almost certainly the actual fool. If you don't feel that way today, you've likely already turned the corner on being an exceptional leader.

I have aspirations to be exceptional in life, not just good. Sometimes, you believe you’re doing all the right things, but you have friction hiding in your blind spots. Well-intentioned, but friction nonetheless, and that friction is causing unnecessary resistance.

Today, I create divergent sales and marketing strategies for my clients, removing unwanted friction in their business and life. When we make it easier for sellers to sell and buyers to buy, we accelerate profitable growth.

This first made sense to me in November of 2015 (at 40 years old) when I heard the concept developed by my Wizard Partner Ray Seggern about Story, Experience, and Culture.

Our brand is, simply put, our culture.

When we protect and defend a happy, healthy, wealthy culture, our people will protect and defend the buying experience, from soup to nuts. We tell persuasive stories about these employee experiences and buying experiences in our advertising—the good, the bad, and the ugly.

This is how legends are made.

I VALUE Value

The problem with beliefs are that they are conveniently interchangeable depending on which side of the table you're sitting on.

True value comes when you do something inconvenient for you for the convenience of others.

What do you stand for? What do you stand against?

Marketing is far too important to be left to the marketing department.
  • Channel alignment is key to explosive growth (website, sales, and advertising).
  • Internal marketing, external marketing, and recruitment.
  • Brand message, sales activation, lead gen, and public relations.
Your culture is your brand.
  • People are always the wild card.
  • Are you creating the friction slowing profitable growth?
  • Foster a better culture, and your employees will deliver a better buying experience.
  • The great customer and employee experiences become the great brand stories we tell in your advertising.
The secret to success starts with the strategy.
  • All marketing works with the right strategy.
  • Most people start with the channels and outcomes.
  • The strategy will inform the creative, and media channels, not the other way around.
Your weaknesses, flaws, and vulnerabilities are your superpower.
  • They make you human, and interesting.
  • They make you relatable.
  • They allow you to show your true character.
  • You d't have vulnerability

THE frictionless CEO

I'm thinking about ways to reduce friction everyday. I'm inviting you inside my brain to explore this frictionless journey with me.

It gets weird sometimes; even dark. I'm definitely not for everyone.

If you like how I think, though (or just morbidly curious) come aboard the Nautilus and we'll navigate these choppy seas together.
