As a recovering perfectionist, this quote really resonates with me: “The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.” - John C. Maxwell

Nothing is better than building a social media team that encourages the company to share the brand's social content💪🏼 Employees make the best ambassadors🔥

At what age did you experience the biggest shift in your worldview?

Would you rather: a) Have a podcast or b) Have a newsletter #marketing

10 authors to read to become a better writer: 1. William Shakespeare 2. Jane Austen 3. Ernest Hemingway 4. F. Scott Fitzgerald 5. Virginia Woolf 6. Leo Tolstoy 7. Mark Twain 8. Franz Kafka 9. Emily Dickinson 10. Ayn Rand Who else?

Don't listen to podcasts at 1.5x speed. Go for a walk without any podcast, audiobook, or phone call at all. Take the weekend off. Read for fun, not for optimization. Do the workout that works for you. Have real conversations. Eat that slice of cake.

How people react when Instagram is down for 5 minutes #instagramdown

What's your favorite way to pass time at the airport? 👀

"community" is NOT a marketing buzzword. communities are united through experiences, insights and interests. communities talk, share advice and lift each other up. you do not have a community *just* because you have followers. 💫 followers ≠ a community 💫

when content that takes five seconds to make outperforms content that took blood, sweat and tears to create

the holy trinity 💫

brands and influencers really underestimate authenticity and community when it comes to social media. authenticity 👉 cut through the noise, cut through the bullsh*t and show YOU community 👉 create a space where your audience feel like they’re a part of something bigger than them

Was great for @flennerz and I to meet with @WeiShenWong from @WatersTech. We gave her a tour of our base at Rise, created by Barclays and introduced her to some of the Rise team to share about the work the space is doing to support #FinTechs like us and beyond.

If you can take a break from posting to social and you still book clients and make sales, congratulations. You've unlocked the most powerful kind of marketing: word of mouth.

Something helpful for a change. You’re welcome. #linkedin
