“Heyyy 😊”

You know the text.

Too many y’s. Too few check-ins.

They don’t want to reconnect—they want help moving a couch.

You’re not tech support with a pulse.

Protect your energy.

Real friendship is presence, not favors.

Let me know if you need anything” sounds kind, but often means nothing. Real help is specific, inconvenient, and never starts with a vague text. If someone’s drowning, don’t hand them a phone. Jump in or shut up. #LifeAdvice

Every group project has that person: the ghost, the echo, the “I work best under pressure” guy. Turns out, adulthood is just school group projects with worse snacks and higher stakes.

SEO: the only art form where we sculpt for an audience of one… and that one is a robot. Google is Not a User is from my chapbook The Art of Being Indexed—because if we're all just optimizing for an algorithmic god, we might as well write hymns. #SEOetry #LinkedInPoetLaureate #MarketingPoetry

Dad would’ve been 91 today. He fell asleep in theaters the moment the lights dimmed. During Independence Day, he started snoring just as the aliens blew up the White House. Now, at 45—the age he was when I was born—I think about what he’d say, what I’d do differently. Happy birthday, Dad.

At Steak 'n Shake, I saw a napkin: 'Born on Route 66 in 1934.' My dad, Allan, was born that same year. We shared so many diner meals together. A sweet reminder of him in his birthday month. Missing you, Dad. ❤️ #Route66

Before diving headfirst into 2025’s trends, take a moment to reflect:

✔️ Are your efforts aligned with your goals?
✔️ Are your results measurable and meaningful?
✔️ Do your metrics matter?

Let’s make this the year of intentional marketing, not just trendy experiments.
