SO...HOW DID I GO FROM BEING ON-DEMAND TO BE IN-DEMAND AND WORKING WITH CELEBRITIES?

I went from being on-demand to in-demand by strategically shifting how I positioned myself and my brand.

By prioritizing intentional growth and aligning my personal brand with value-driven goals, I transformed from someone people occasionally needed into someone they actively seek out.

you'll learn more in my next masterclass...

AND THIS 'PLAN'... WAS SO SIMPLE THAT ANYONE COULD USE IT TO GET IN THE NEWS FOR FREE, AND GAIN FOLLOWERS AT THE SAME TIME.

I discovered it in the craziest of ways…
You see, after my first business had failed & my family practically gave up on my dreams…
I knew I needed to do something VERY different… Or I’d never succeed.
So I packed my bags and headed to Nashville, Tennessee to work for one of the United States’ fastest growing entrepreneurs.
His name was Paul (last name redacted for privacy) and his company was doing around $310 Million per year, and my background of serving others had landed me a position as a PR (Public Relations) Assistant…
To be honest, I still don’t know how I got the job. I guess it was a mix of luck & my history of hard work (and probably my service time as a firefighter in Norfolk, VA after my business failed).
Because I had NO idea what I was about to get into…
The first few months sort of flew by…
I was doing some basic writing, reporting, branding, and other marketing stuff… But it didn’t seem to be as powerful as the undisclosed stuff Paul was doing in his private office all day.
At that time, I viewed him as one of those ultra-successful rich guys that never shared HOW he became successful… Because he never talked to me or any of his ‘regular employees’ about it.
Honestly, my goal was just to learn as much as I could about how he got his name out there so easily.
After all, Paul truly was a wild success story that went from a ‘nobody’ living in the poorest neighborhood in LA…
To doing several hundred million dollars per year.
Anyway… I couldn’t be more thankful.
And I KNEW that I’d have a better chance at succeeding as an entrepreneur one day if could somehow get him to be my mentor.
So one day when I found out Paul had fired one of the executives in his private office where all the ‘secretive stuff’ was going down…
I approached him one afternoon and literally BEGGED him if I could take the spot of the guy he just fired.
And given that I always busted my ass for Paul and did everything I could to show him I was a hard worker…

HE FINALLY ALLOWED ME INSIDE HIS 'CIRCLE'...
AND TAUGHT ME HOW TO GET IN THE NEWS FOR FREE.

Plus, he even showed me how to get news connections, publications, followers, travel, and even a little bit of fame.
Just months earlier, I was a failed entrepreneur, washed-up athlete, and down-on-his-luck firefighter who was living paycheck to paycheck…
Trying everything under the sun to ‘get myself & my business out there’…
Websites, Facebook, Instagram, networking events, courses, podcasts… EVERYTHING.
And none of it ever worked.
And now, here I was, getting mentored by a mega-millionaire.
And more importantly…

NOW I KNEW WHY I HAD STRUGGLED TO 'MAKE IT' FOR SO LONG...

Look, there’s a reason why a select few people blow up their businesses overnight while regular people STRUGGLE for years.

You can “try” to get your name out there all you want…
You can cold call & cold email people you don’t know and just hope that you contacted the right person and used the ‘magic words’…

That’s what most people do.

And that’s why most people fail.
Or…

There’s the smarter option.

PLUS... Your Life Gets A LOT More Fun.

Personally, I bought a BMW i8… and eventually a
Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon.

And landed Mastermind speaking gigs…

And managed the PR for big name entrepreneurs, athletes, and celebrity clients…

And was named to NY Weekly’s 2020 30 Under 30 list…

And even flew private for the first time.

Now, I don’t say any of this to brag.

The reason I’m showing you how my life has changed is because…

YOUR LIFE CAN CHANGE, TOO...

BECAUSE I'M GOING TO INVITE YOU INTO MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP... AND GET YOU IN THE NEWS 2X PER MONTH SO YOU CAN GAIN FOLLOWERS, CLOSE CLIENTS, AND BECOME SUCCESSFUL FAST.

Sure, I’ve had a lot of success with all of these things.

But more importantly for you…

In the last few years, I have taken a lot of my students from ‘No-Name to Fame’…

By simply showing them exactly how to get published on sites like ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, and countless others for FREE…

How to get more followers…

And how to connect with people who can take you to the next level.

And as a result, they’ve grown followings, been on TV shows, spoken at live events, closed dream clients, and a whole lot more.

But more importantly, I’ve helped them “make it” doing something they love.

My youngest client ever, Casey Adams, received enough press to grab the attention of Larry King, who sat down with him for an interview!
