On July 16th at 1PM ET, beehiiv is unveiling the next chapter for audience-led businesses.

For years, creators and brands have been forced to stitch together bloated stacks of tools just to publish content, grow an audience, and make money online.

Newsletters in one platform. Websites in another. Podcasts somewhere else. Analytics scattered everywhere.

beehiiv thinks there’s a better way. Now, they’re ready to show it off at their Summer Release Event.

Reserve your spot.

let me describe them and you tell me if you've met them before.

they're great at the work. like, actually great. the portfolio is real, the testimonials are real, people slide into their dms all the time to say they love what they do.

and they're still stressed about money.

the offer isn't obvious and people often ask, “what do you do?” the price changes every time someone asks because they're scared to anchor it. the linkedin looks impressive but nobody reads it and thinks "i need to hire this person today."

outreach only happens when the account runs low. the follow up feels desperate so it just doesn't happen. they get asked to "pick their brain" constantly and somehow that never turns into a paycheck. and half the people who swear they love the work never actually pay for it.

if you know this person or are this person, please know you aren’t alone. you're not invisible. you're not behind. you're just underpackaged.

that's it. and unlike talent, it's a thing you can actually fix.

go look at my posts from early 2025. i was pitching brands publicly, giving away free ideas, commenting on everyone's posts hoping i'd be worthy of an opportunity instead of creating my own and tbh, i was over it. so i quit. i stopped applying for jobs and decided that it was time to go all in on myself and my dream.

see, i spent years being the talented one. 3+ billion organic views on content i'd made for names you'd know. will smith, alicia keys, ryan reynolds, pharrell, rihanna, buzzfeed, genius, gap, torrid, hbo, netflix, apple, topgolf, target. and i was still trading my skillset and my time for whatever someone decided to offer me, waiting on "my big break" to just show up.

i was depressed and unhappy with where i was, and i knew something had to change. last year i went all in on WALTER + PEARL and took it from $0 to 7 figures in the first year, and we're on pace to double that this year. people hear that and assume i got dramatically better at the craft and that's why the money started coming in. not true. i just got better at the business and the marketing underneath it.

i made a lot of changes. i anchored a main offer instead of pricing off my nerves. i made my linkedin reflect the work instead of just listing where i'd been. i stopped waiting to get discovered and started selling at the end of my own posts, in my own voice, no shame in it. the same talent i'd had the whole time, i just finally learned how to put it to work.

that's the speedrun. it's a collection of systems and information i can actually hand to you as you build your business and personal brand with the final 6 months of the year. i built keynotes cohort 001 to do exactly that. the program is 6 weeks, 8 small group sessions, 2 one on one sessions with me and we build the whole machine underneath your expertise in real time so that the right people finally get what you do, what it costs, and how to hire you.

it starts july 7th and the room is capped on purpose since i’ll also be doing 1:1’s with everyone. we have 3 spots left, it’s first come, first serve based on approvals and applications close this friday. if you want to know more about keynotes click the link below:

i built this the hard way. this is me handing you everything i learned and coaching you the whole way. if you've wanted to work with me 1:1, this is your chance.

i'm rooting for you.
