After over a year away from the mic, I wasn’t sure I’d return. It’s ALOT to be a one man band pod, plan a wedding, a full time senior marketer, hang out with my family (and of course my dog!) work out every day and achieve balance and not burn out!

This episode is your behind-the-scenes of why I stepped away, what’s fueling my return, and how this show is evolving to serve you even better.

It’s still me. Still raw, honest, and strategy-packed. But this time around, I’m zeroing in on the two things that have powered every winning marketing plan I’ve ever built—productivity and confidence. Because no matter what kind of marketing you’re doing, these two muscles change everything.

I’ve got over 30 episodes planned. New ones every Tuesday.
