I was beehiiv’s first sales hire. I helped take them from $0 to $30M+ ARR. I now host the Moneywise podcast, where I interview 9-figure founders about their real numbers. I’ve built newsletters, podcasts, and local media companies from scratch (and they all make me money). I did all of that while working full-time and being a present husband and father. Now I can help you do that same.

I started newslettering in 2013 on a Wix blog with 200 subscribers and a lot of opinions (some subscribers even paid me! Crazy to think about back then). Ten years later I was beehiiv's seventh employee, closing Fortune 500 companies and legacy media brands on a platform I genuinely believed in. I'd been a power user before I was ever on the payroll. I know this industry from both sides of the table. I've been the creator, the operator, the seller, and the advisor. That's a unique combination.

On the side, my wife Courtney and I built Palmetto Parents, a local newsletter media company serving 20,000 parents across South Carolina. I also founded a podcast that did $70k in revenue in its first year, and only spend 1 hour per week on it. The lesson I’ve learned: building an audience that trusts you is the most valuable asset in the next 10 years.

You should probably be on this list.

Most people teaching this stuff have never actually done it. I have, at both the company level and on my own. Every issue is a real framework, a real decision, or a real lesson from someone who’s been there and built the thing over and over again.
