Built $2B in construction projects and ran a $10K/month AI agency. Now I help entrepreneurs build communities with purpose and accelerate revenue with AI.
I spend 8 hours a day building someone else's dreams
Literally.
There are entire city blocks with my creative force written all over them.
No doubt in my mind I can build my own dreams
No small feat to be sure
First you gotta lay the foundation
And before that you gotta
I'm 9 followers short of the big 5-0-0!
It's sinking in now - I got this.
And let's keep it real - it's all thanks to the squad.
You ride-or-die supporters. You true believers.
You're the wind beneath my wings.
The rocket fuel in the tank. (Sup JW)
So here's a massive
My account just got wrecked...
500 followers! Speechless.
You beautiful humans are the real MVPs!
And I'm sending virtual bear hugs to each and every one of you.
Seriously, I'm so crazy grateful our paths crossed.
Cause' we're building something special together.
I am full of self doubt.
Why does it seem like everyone has their shit together?
But me? Constant
→ Can I do this?
→ Should I do this?
→ How do I do this?
I see everyone doing better.
→ More likes.
→ More praise.
→ More impressions.
I ask myself...
→ Am I real?
→
Self-belief?
It's a choice. And a practice.
Not some magic switch.
Start small.
Celebrate tiny wins. Stack them up.
Ignore that inner critic. It lies. A lot.
Focus on progress. Perfection’s a myth.
Doubt's just fear in disguise. Push through it.
Prove doubt wrong.
I started this journey knowing nothing.
Zero followers, zero engagement.
Now? I'm hitting milestones I never imagined
Seriously, THANK YOU ALL.
To those wondering:
How did I do it?
By embracing my own voice and perspective.
→ Sharing my values
→ Telling my stories
→
Comparison trap?
It's your journey, your timeline.
No one else's.
Embrace the process.
The ups, the downs.
The whole messy, beautiful ride.
Cause growth ain't linear.
It's a squiggly line to the top.
And along the way,
Be your own damn cheerleader.
Pat yourself on
Find your purpose...
Here's the basics:
You don't find purpose
You decide to pursue a life of purpose.
To expand and express fully.
You're a painter? Paint better.
Musician? Play better.
A Writer? Then Write better.
Always aim to improve.
Trust your gut.
Follow your
My mindset sucks right now...
Flow's fickle. Comes and goes.
Creativity? It's hiding. Too well.
Motivation's MIA. Happens to the best.
But here's the thing:
It's temporary. Always is.
Shake things up. Try something new.
Go for a walk. Change your space.
Listen to weird
I'm here to:
→ Build resilience
→ Inspire through struggle
→ Show authenticity's power
Doubts creep in daily.
But that's the point.
Growth isn't comfortable.
It's necessary.
I woke up from surgery feeling... different.
The doctor said, "Your bear implant was successful."
Wait, what?
Suddenly, I could smell salmon from miles away.
My morning jog turned into a full-on forest sprint.
And don't get me started on my new love for honey.
Side effects
I hit a plateau.
I had it all, the wife, the kids, the house, the title.
Good and bad balanced out
No real progress
It was the self improvement lie
I did my workout, so I can binge eat
I did my meditation, so I don't have to let go
I did my journaling, so I can stew over the
When things don't go your way
Deal falls through
Critical team member leaves
Worst thing? Staying put
Get up. Take the next step
And do it fast
Over and over
That's how you succeed
From zero to hero. And back again.
Passion fuels persistence. Grit beats talent.
No skills? No problem. Just start.
Bad English? Who cares? Write anyway.
Quitting's easy. Coming back's hard.
Rebranding. Pivoting. Learning. Falling.
Getting up's the real victory.

Connection has become a rare commodity.
We're more "connected" than ever, yet many feel isolated and unfulfilled.
I've seen it firsthand:
Content creators pouring their hearts into their work
Only to feel like they won’t win
If they don’t turn into a growth guru.
Hot take:
Luck runs out.
Talent only gets you so far.
Gotta do the work.
Day after day.
Get gritty.
Get disciplined.
And watch yourself grow.
It's on you.
But also take a damn break
I’m learning to make new friends
The sun
That red chair
And this mountain

Build Better Relationships
Business is about people.
People buy from those they like and trust.

Inspire loyalty.
Call out shared values.
Make them feel they belong.

The pursuit of perfection often becomes our biggest obstacle.
Perfection is procrastination in disguise.
Many aspiring writers:
• Overthink every word
• Endlessly edit drafts
• Wait for the "perfect" moment
But here's the truth:
Your first attempts won't be your best.
Success is funny
Expertise in my domain
Gives me confidence I can master any domain
Except my ego will tell me
Over and over again
You can skip the beginner phase
Newsflash
You can’t skip the beginner phase
I used to think gratitude was overrated.
Deep inside, I felt:
→ Unworthy of love
→ Scared of relationships
→ Trapped by my past
But life has a way of surprising you.
Every struggle became a mirror, reflecting:
→ My deepest fears
→ Unhealed wounds
→ Chances for growth
It
About to hit 370 and the doggo can sense it
375 and she’ll get her fav treat
400 and I’ll have to give her salmon skins with her dinner
I can’t disappoint these eyes
I used to be a puppet, dancing to society's tune.
"Work harder!"
"No, have work-life balance!"
"Meditate more!"
"Hustle 24/7!"
The conflicting voices were deafening.
I pushed myself to the brink, chasing everyone else's definition of success.
The result?
Burnout. Emptiness.
I hated what I saw in the mirror.
Every morning, it was the same story:
→ Unhealthy choices
→ Lack of fitness
→ Low self-esteem
I decided to change.
I started small:
→ Eating better
→ Moving more
→ Positive self-talk
Now, I wake up excited to greet my reflection.
The
Uncertainty. Self-doubt. Wavering confidence.
We've all been there.
You start strong, full of enthusiasm.
Then doubt creeps in.
You question your plan.
You want to change course.
But here's the truth:
Constant plan-changing is the enemy of progress.
So what do you do?
You wanna level up?
Today's page one... a fresh start
Been chatting with Taylin the Creator

Dude's got skills - builds connections makes killer pitches
And you are who you hang with so...
So I joined the crew ↓↓↓
Going to hit 300 followers this weekend.
It’s going to be awesome.
Got my eyes on it
Expressing gratitude for this journey
You all continue to push me
And make me better each day
And we are just getting started
This weekend
Gonna be chilling like this squirrel 🐿️
Not
People doubt themselves too much
They hold back thinking:
"Not talented enough"
"Don't know the right people"
"Too late for me"
The truth is:
Success isn’t about talent
Or luck
It's about grinding
And believing in yourself
I feel tired
Exhausted
Low on energy
Walking in a knee brace with a torn ACL
IS NOT FUN
But my favorite thing I’ve learned this year
I get to choose my response
I get to choose my attitude
I get to choose my perspective
Every moment is a new beginning
I stared at my phone, thumb hovering over the send button.
"What if they think I'm stupid?"
"What if I'm bothering them?"
"What if they laugh at me?"
My mind raced through a thousand scenarios.
None of them good.
I'd been here before.
Paralyzed by fear and self-doubt.
After devouring personal development like it’s the last slice of pizza, here's what I've learned:
Growth isn't just waiting to play. It's itching to get in the game.
But we hold it back with:
• Fear of failure
• Perfectionism
• Procrastination
Here's the truth: Growth
You know that feeling when you know you are right where you need to be?
I don’t really talk about work
Maybe I should
I love my job
We build very high end lighting systems for all kinds of clients
We have a philosophy
Light is life
Without light you see nothing
I’m a quitter
And I’m afraid
I might do something drastic
I am so over my 9-5
It’s not that I hate my job
I love working on the world’s
Most iconic structures
Opera houses
Music Venues
Stadiums
Hotels
I have helped build amazing spaces
For the last 10 years
But now I
I used to consume everything indiscriminately.
Then I learned: What I consume shapes my inner landscape.
My transformation began:
→ Unfollow accounts that didn't serve me
→ Curate a feed aligned with my goals
→ Seek out content that fueled my purpose
The result?
→ Clearer
Building teams:
Option 1:
Train everyone yourself. No time to lead.
Option 2:
Hire from outside. Get competing opinions. And no cohesion.
Option 3:
Mix of both.
Hire your blind spots.
Train your successors.
I landed 2 clients, and it wasn't by accident.
You're probably wondering how I did it.
Let me break it down for you:
I identified their pain points
I showed them I had the solution
I closed the deal
Now that's what I call ↓↓↓
Want to know how I helped a client land a $24k deal?
It wasn’t just luck—it was strategy, clarity, and a lot of tough decisions.
Here’s the story of how we transformed their AI startup and turned their vision into reality. 🧵👇
When I first started.
I thought business was about strategy and numbers.
But over time, I realized that business is a mirror.
It reflects your mindset, your habits, your growth.
The better I became:
-more disciplined
-more focused
-more resilient
The better my business
Business is the new therapy.
Healthy business reflects founder's growth and self-awareness.
View business development as path to personal growth.
Align business practices with personal values and awareness.
It has begun, the quest to 500
Natures bounty is generous.
Also, you guys are generous,
I have met amazing friends
Formed incredible partnerships
Worked with fantastic mentors
And we are just getting started
Thanks for 200 you wonderful people
Going to get some rest,
Ever felt like you're juggling too many talents?
I've been there.
Multi-passionate. Jack of all trades. Master of none.
Those labels used to haunt me.
But then I asked myself:
"What if my diverse skills are actually my superpower?"
That shift changed everything.
I started
Content builds awareness.
Your offer solves problems.
Traffic brings opportunities.
Fulfillment creates raving fans.
Scaling multiplies your impact.
Focus on these 5 pillars.
Everything else is just noise.
I make mental model/frameworks to help me maintain peak performance, here is a collection of a few high impact practices you can put to work today. Power up.
I didn’t want to do it
It’s been 9 years
He told me to stop being an idiot
It was 2015
I was fresh out of college
But I thought I was mature
It took me 7 years to finish
I should know what I’m doing by now
I remember the phone call
He told me to take the job
I wasn’t
Helping others has always been my life's purpose.
It's not just a motto, it's a way of living.
Every act of kindness creates ripples.
You never know how far they'll reach.
So keep spreading goodness without expectation.
The world needs more helpers like you.
Success isn’t found in constant hustle.
It’s found in clarity, focus, and the ability to let go of what doesn’t serve your vision.
Stop trying so hard.
Let the right opportunities come to you by being present and prepared.
My brain is amazing (and so is yours)
This isn’t an ego trip I promise.
I have countless thoughts every single day
Am I smart enough (define smart…)
Do I know enough (does anyone know anything?)
Am I doing enough (on the weekend?)
Psychoanalysts hate me
I can convince
Woah that’s wild
I need 3 followers to hit 350
I’ve been at a 9-5 conference all week
So little time to:
DM
Post
Engage
But I am still growing on autopilot
How?
Because I surrounded myself with inspiring people
They aren’t followers, they are friends
Thanks for the
I admit it
It hurts a lot
It’s been 20+ years
And I’m still terrified
I take hit after hit
My hands in chains
A lesson to be learned
I have to own it
I chose this
“Why is this so hard”
I chose to do this for 27 years
Dedication is permission
Commitment acceptance
Alright, let's dive deep into the psychology of marketing with a twist that'll make your brain tingle.
Here's a thread that'll reshape how you view marketing forever:
9 AM. An idea begins to form.
1 hour of objections with partner.
3 hours later.
Our strategy shifts completely.
I dive in, working non-stop for 3 hours.
Focused and determined.
Then comes the moment of truth:
The first sales call.
45 minutes later.
A smile. "When can
Some of you know I badly injured my leg.
I tried walking on it today and had a scary moment
Lost my balance
I desperately reached for anything
Something to hold on to

It’s the only one you have ✌️
I heard the crunching of bones
Mind goes blank
Time slows
The presence of pain grips me tight
I hold on for the ride
─────── ✧ ───────
I felt my knee twist and buckle
I heard a loud pop and my leg crumpled
I gave my opponent the slightest advantage...
@thedankoe
Truer than the bucket of lies we tell ourselves,
I can’t
I don’t know how
This is too hard…
You made it this far, all the evidence in your life is telling you that you can because you have overcome every obstacle so far.
Ever feel like you're spinning your wheels?
I've been there. Countless times.
Here's a powerful exercise I use:
Fast-forward one year.
Your decision was a disaster.
What went wrong?
What signs did you miss?
Now rewind.
Imagine wild success beyond your dreams.

There is a misconception that successful people have 100% certainty in their actions
They dont.
Take action and leverage the proof of achievement from your past
This builds confidence
If you want fast growth align yourself with trends
People are always searching how to solve
i am very good at isolating myself
disappearing behind the veil
in hopes that the boogie man won't see me
when he finds me
he will try to kill me

that's what he did last time
that's what he always tries to do

Ever felt lost in the corporate maze, chasing numbers but feeling empty?
I've been there. Swanky office, big paycheck, fancy title.
But something was missing.
Deep down, I knew I wasn't living my purpose.
I wasn't making the impact I dreamed of.
I wasn't being true to
Growing so fast I’m missing my milestones
Guess that’s a good problem to have
That’s after losing a day or so of engagement traveling
When bad metrics still look pretty good
Thank you all for the wonderful journey
You guys are making it happen

But here's the truth:
Business is therapy.
The biggest ROI?
The person you become in the process.
It’s not just about profit.
It’s about personal transformation.
