Google is going to punish AI content
Last month I wrote about something I get asked often. Will AI kill SEO? No, but the opposite will probably happen where Google penalizes patterned AI content. Bye-bye traffic. Bye-bye money… 📉 I saw this same thing over a decade ago, where something like 20+% of SEOs...
Loud Marketers
$100,000,000+ client. Loves paid ads. Loves hype'y flashy bro-marketing. But SEO is slow. It's boring. After the employee that signed us took a job at a different company, they turned a blind eye to the SEO progress we were delivering. We'd send updates on their...

How long did it take to increase this website's traffic from 7k visitors to 26,000 per day? 2 months. When my SEO team launches a new client campaign we start by breaking down their website's design and structure. Not content. Not backlinks. Both of which are...
Mentors Condense Time
One of the best ways to grow financially, mentally, physically, is invest in yourself. Do hard stuff that takes time, by multiples of years. Mentors just help you do it faster. Took me about 5 years doing marketing before I confidently charged a client a few grand...
Motivating Others
Half the time, I feel like I don't know what I'm doing myself. But this is why I show up. Because you never know who, where, or how you'll impact someone else's life. I keep winning because I keep moving forward, one step at a time, towards what feels right. And...
