It takes a lot of effort to constantly fight the urge and push for the proper stimulus that you need for growth - but it's absolutely vital if you're serious about accomplishing things in whatever area of your life. I stumbled upon one of the more entertaining Internet, beefs involving the "science based " lifting community and the grizzled veterans that are just...
In every deal there's more than one component - Price... everyone seems to focus on Price and they tend to forget all the other pieces that are involved in every single deal that you make. Relationship capital, trust., guarantees, delivery methods, and timelines, etc all factor into whether or not they offer is attractive or not. People are not out here, solely focused on price despite your aggressive belief that that is the case. ...
As a result of a meeting that I did the other day with my friend Darren Shaw, I decided to completely revamp my desk set up. This has gone in lockstep with a lot of the recent changes I've been making as well digitally to get things organized so that I can be more productive. Check out Facebook if you wanna see some photos of the new desk set up and if you have questions on anything feel free to ask how I've configured any of it if...
Time to put an end to the rambling! Today was a flurry of activity - I hired a new subcontractor on the spot to help run ads for me as I scale. I made the decision to completely revamp my desk set up so that I could pump out content, faster, and stop having to hunch over it like an awkward turtle. I visited a client's new location and helped them untangle some spaghetti and did a little bit of untangling myself. kudos were had all ...
Stereotypes are just patterns. some are true. some are false. some helpful. and some negative. Everyone recognizes them but you can act on them to change the trajectory of your life if you choose to.
today was a super busy day absolutely grinding things out and making things happen nailing down this new on boarding process while trying to also juggle current client load and website builds has me looking like I've got four arms. Shit is crazy over here, but we are making it happen and I'm excited to have contractors on board and everybody organized with orders in the water going in the same direction.
two days in a row! I expect this is going to get harder and harder as time goes on, but it's another great growing opportunity for Catalyst RVA marketing agency and me personally as well... so today I'm digging into some thoughts about hiring and what I'm looking for and why. In the process of scaling my agency, I know I'm going to need to add a few members to the party so to speak – and that means I have to get organized and gear...
Today I went through an overview of what's been going on since we last caught up! We are gonna be making a slight format change and I am going to be doing more frequent episodes on how I scale Catalyst RVA marketing agency to the fuckin moon this year.
After hitting $20,000 in a single month and realizing that I had been coasting, it's time to walk in and start making some shit happen. Buckle up and enjoy the ride, hopefully, it he...
Every day we inch closer and closer to the movie Idiocracy going from satire to documentary. I left a cult several years ago and many of you are slowly indoctrinating yourselves into one right now as we speak. Social media is ravaging independent thought and critical thinking skills and driving you aggressively towards hating your neighbors and not the real problem. BUT for those of you willing to slow down and recalibrate, the wor...
What's up Catalyst Fam!? This week I'm breaking down how and why I stopped focusing on some dumb problems that weren't moving the needle. Hopefully, this look at the difference between A, B, and C problems helps you refocus and drop that mental energy from some bullshit problems that arent actually holding you back like I had to do.

...Spurred by a random phone call I went into a spiral of self-reflection. I genuinely appreciate my friends because oftentimes their calls or messages to bounce ideas off me turn into some massive self-reflection. Today we discuss a few short examples of how we can avoid taking the necessary steps and walk through how we can walk over the barriers we often put in place to avoid the fear of that first step...
