A little about us:
- 10 years ago I made thousands of sales calls
- I was unfulfilled on the rollercoast of referral based sales
- I was overweight
- 7 years ago I spoke on stage at Curaytor about marketing
- I was the marketer for 5 top teams in the US spending several million on paid ads
- We were posting content on social but a little aimlessly
- Now we've generated well over $10 million in GCI directly from YouTube for agents
- Run many of the top YouTube channels from 0 to 50k in real estate
- Scaled the only hyper local newsletters across 50+ markets
- We grew our team at Knwn Local to 45 people
- We believe building a media brand is the new way to grow your business and own your market now. Instead of renting your business with expensive leads, you can own it with an audience.

- Brand is one of the highest leverage things in business that scales your impact beyond you.
- Big visions often don't make sense to small-minded people.

If you want to have a greater impact, you'll have to make greater sacrifices.
My message: Don’t be well known, be Knwn well.
I'm pumped to help you grow & scale your business with this content.
