The wait it over! There wasn't a more perfect episode to kick off this podcast, than with an episode about fear and how it has the tendency of getting in the way and how to get past it.

ABOUT

BUT GOD..

I'm a Jesus loving, multi-disciplinary social media marketer & business coach who believes you can sell and be social at the same time.

Trust the process. If you would have told me I would be where I am today, I probably would have believed you. Sound a little bit cocky? Nah, I don't think so. Since when did having confidence in someone speaking like over you become cocky? 

I've been operating in the social media space since 2006, on a little website called Black Planet. Don't at me! lol. But even since then, I've always been aware of the power of building a brand online. 

Raw But Real. I told mama I'm thuggin on the internet, we don't need cable. True story ;)

I realized the potential that an online brand could have when I started my YouTube channel in 2009. Back then YouTubing wasn't a thing, it was just for fun. I uploaded a cover of "If I were a Boy" and my world was shook. Over $500K views.. all of a sudden I was international, meeting people all over the world, straight from my college dorm room, 

I was bit by the social media marketing bug, and since then I have helped fortune 500 companies, mom and pop stores and first time entrepreneurs just getting their start make an impact and build a profitable brand on social media. 

FINDING INSPIRATION FROM

so, what do you do?

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS.

The way you tell your story is directly connected to your customer experience and how they remember your brand. We all need help talking about ourselves because in the beginning it can feel pretty vain. I'm here to help you get over that. Let's chat!
