Branding coach. No bullshit, just your real edge.
I didn’t start with GPTs. But now that I’m using them , everything’s changing. Not just because they’re smart. Because I finally started using my ...voice. My partner kept telling me: “Edwin, talk to the GPT. Use your voice.” I didn’t get it at first. But once I did,…
was helping my brother fix his fence the other day. told him, this is what you get for all those house parties back then. broke the fence, now you’re paying for it. full circle. he bought the house off my parents, so it’s all on him now. not gonna lie though, i had a couple good…
i started doing tweets, posts, linkedin carousels, different types. and honestly, you get better. it builds over time. feels like a lot of us started the same way.
we all learn different. me? i had to live it. Didn’t study the real world, i was in it. built things young. worked jobs. got humbled early. I built trust by listening. by being real. not by acting like i had it all figured out. I joke a lot. but i’ve never faked it. never…
I was about 5 or 6 when my dad first taught me how to play chess. Out of all 6 kids, I was the only one who stuck with it. Not because I was good, just curious. I still remember the horsey. The knight. Moved different. Didn’t follow lines. Hit from angles. Maybe that’s why I…
real clears the room quick...and what’s left? That’s where the work begins. That’s your people.
i was 14, best manager i ever had handed me the keys to Mcdonald’s and said, you’re opening next week!! I’m like,really!! you trust me with the building? she goes, yeah. i know where you live. you’ll be fine. just be there by 4am.
life never promised us a straight road. But it did give us a choice in how we move through it. You don’t need to control the path, just walk it with intention.
just the other day i was with my dad fixing a fan, and he pulls out this 60 year old meter. still works better than half the new stuff. i’ll post a pic soon, it’s a classic. some things just hit different when they’ve lasted that long.
when you know who you are, what you are, everything changes. no need to prove anything. no need to explain. you just walk. and people feel it. maybe they can’t say why, but they know.
rewind five, six years. i was following 5,000 people and had maybe two followers. those were the early days. that’s when you think you’re building a brand, but really, you’re just following noise.
the more i write, the more i want to share. i don’t know, maybe it’s just me. but every time i start writing, memories come up. stuff i hadn’t thought about in years. it’s like the words pull it out of me.
Me and the AI , just spending time together. no candlelight. no wine. just voice notes and frameworks. that’s how i build content. i speak my truth from the car, gym, wherever. then i switch to ghostwriter mode. structure lands, tone stays real. treat it like a journal. guide it…
real experience changes how you see things. it’s not the same as reading it in a book. why? because you felt it. you lived it. it’s in your body now. that’s what makes it real. that’s why it stays. funny how some things never leave you once you’ve lived them..
when i started i didn’t even know i was becoming an entrepreneur. i just hated asking for permission and was always looking for ways to make paper.
when i started on social, i wasn’t trying to build anything. i just came for crypto and memes. but after listening to all these entrepreneurs, you start picking up ideas without even meaning to. is it just me, or did memes lead half of us to business?
i still remember selling firecrackers back in grade 5 or 6. didn’t even know i was slanging already. all i knew was i wanted to make money. didn’t realize that was a different type of mindset.
i still remember the first book i read in school, maniac mcgee. not sure if any of you remember that one. but i think we all had that first book that stuck with us.
in life, we don’t always see the path ahead, but we still get to choose. every choice draws the road we walk. you don’t need to see the whole thing to take the next step. you just need to decide.
