I lead teams with an open ear and encourage bravery, debate, and challenges. I'm not fearful of doubt from my constituents, but rather, I appreciate it and see it is an invitation to find ways to test the initially intuitive idea. This sets an example that fosters creative ideas and solutions that are more objective. By testing ideas and proving viability, we inspire support, advocacy, and drive. True intuitive expertise is learned from prolonged experience with good feedback on mistakes.
Too much time and energy is spent making decisions that are easy vs. making easy decisions. In a world where opinions and intuitions can easily be tested, we should spend less time selling out ideas and contemplating every choice; and more time moving, testing, trying, working, and operating with a lean approach. It's better to go ahead and start small, than it is to jump in too fast or to wait for perfect timing.
I'm more interested in what is real and true for the people I work alongside every day than I am frightened of going unheard or being wrong. In the quiet presence of your attention, respect, and ease, important things can happen: fresh ideas can emerge; confusion can dissipate; courage and openness can flourish and creativity can explode! To be interrupted is not good. To get lucky and not be interrupted is better. But to know you will not be interrupted allows you truly to think for yourself
Knowlege and in-depth understanding of digital and web analytics media/publishing websites, eCommerce, mobile, and web applications
Ability to speak, translate, and understand key developer and designer terms for digital UI/UX-realted projects
Front-end Website Development and Experience Creating many different SaaS products, content subscriptions, and automated services.

The strategy is the egg. You need to lay the egg, before life can be created. So, I think the question is answered there. The chicken comes afterward. Don't build your website, create social posts, put ads in magazines, before you have outlined a clear strategy, sales forecast and other KPI's for the campaign. I build cutting edge and highly effective content strategy using close trends analysis through data aggregation from multiple sources. I insist on this process before I start typing or designing, so time isn't wasted building content no one wants.
I believe in discovering search intention vs. researching common keywords. SEO, Moz Pro, Majestic, AdSense, AdMarketplace, Media.net, and many many niche paid & organic platforms
Video editing for social media (many videos I have edited myself have been viewed by an audience of >100K)
Knowledge of all major social media platforms, engagement and success metrics, fine-tuned audience targeting & retargeting
Editorial, Operational, and Customer-facing calendar creation and management skills
Copywriting for search engine optimization, digital, audio, press releases, scripting, and print for targeted messaging: B2B, B2C, and/or creative
Knowlege of print layout best practices for advertising and digital marketing layout best practices—
And most importantly, the effectiveness of editorial is very dependent on visuals. My taste for attractive aesthetics for editorial is one of my more natural and refined skills.
Extensive knowledge of lead funnel management, negotiation, and closing deals. I have a knack for earning trust using a mix of emails, texts, sequences, and all mediums - even just a good cup coffee and sit down in a cafe.
Sense of humor combined with respectful and tactful communication, team building, strategic client management
I love poker. I play all the time (but not in a creepy addictive way)... I just really like winning and I love the game. The game is like business in a small microcosm within the players at the table. In a single tournament, you can go through every stage of business in a few hours. In a cash game, you mostly are in the start-up stage much longer and you are usually up against a huge monopoly. But hey... it's just poker... it's just business.
