Hi, fellow human; I’m delighted you want to learn about me, what I do & why I do it.

After spending all of my 20s (& much of my 30s) waiting tables, bartending, & managing restaurants, I founded a B2B SaaS company using machine learning (ML) to help restaurants schedule & forecast labor more accurately as well as stay in compliance of labor laws. Learning to get a product to market, assemble a team, raise capital, & scale a venture was transformative – & the platform that empowered me to do this was LinkedIn.

Learning to use LinkedIn to network, gain visibility, earn media, build a personal brand & build social proof has been at the center of everything I’ve gone on to do since that first startup, from joining & serving on boards to cofounding DCRBN web3 launchpad & venture studio, joining Agora World as their first executive (CGO), being asked to serve as president of World Game Changers CIC/501c3, “Chief Connection Officer” at Coryconnects LLC community & viral growth coaching, being an EIR & 3x ‘Mentor in Excellence’ at the Founder Institute & now coming out of shadow mode with WeJ DJ, a tech powered community helping DJs power speakers in public places around the world to take back the music industry for the artists & creating superior experiences for patrons across the globe, also Loving Is, teaching computers what love is & why it matters.

I am also a senior advisor to SHIZA, VRFD, GrayCyan and various other ventures.

I love music (reggae, hip-hop, punk, afrobeats most!), animals (all, but esp. dogs), good spirits (in more ways than one), nature, startups, reading, networking, impact & travel.

I launched my weekly AI newsletter here, entitled Tech For Good: Building in Public With AI on 4/13/24 & within 36 hours it received 70,000 subscribers — I’m blown away by the reception & will do everything in my power to keep you entertained, updated, in the loop, empowered, & to discuss relevant & timely topics such as AI on the blockchain, AI ethics, decentralization, Universal Unconditional Basic Income (UBI), AGI & ways to mindfully but effectively accelerate humanity’s collective advancement.

Ask me anything about any of the above! To inquire about my 1:1 influencer coaching & discern alignment, DM or email me directly.
