2007-2008: I was the most loved kid in my family.
2010:
The firstborn, spoiled child... who somehow didn't even get into a good school.
2013-2015:
I wasn't the smartest kid. No good grades. Weak English. Good at sports although.
2018: I finally got into a good school.
My confidence grew.
My English got better.
I even started writing short stories in my diary. Until...
2020-2023:
COVID hit. Everything shut down. I had zero idea what was next.
My aunt suggested I try freelancing.
I didn't even know what the word meant.
So I took a course.
Learned SEO, content writing, dropshipping.
Tried everything I could get my
hands on. Failed at every single thing.
Still figuring it out, I started with a
copywriting workshop by Shahzad
Khan and a digital marketing course
by Shaikh Sajawal (asian mentors)
Then I went all in - put more than
$2,000 into learning GTM, sales,
and systems.
Fast forward to today:
I work with top agencies & tech CEOs
build distribution, and a strong social
presence across LinkedIn/X
Clientele, includes:
Bootstrapped & funded startups
Silicon Valley founders
Top B2B agencies
Results, so far:
๐ Got to work with a $5M Silicon Valley
startup.
5 months on the GTM team.
Watched the product go from 20
customers a day to 10,000 in 30 days.
๐ Scaled a solo designer to $14,000 in
30-45 days of working together.
๐ 2,500 LinkedIn followers. 97 product demos. 146,000 impressions. In 45 days.
A pre-launch campaign for an AI
SaaS founder selling a white-label
voice AI platform to marketing
agencies.
That kid who had absolutely no idea
what he was doing with his lifeโฆ
I think heโd be pretty proud of where we are now.

10/10 gtm gurus you absolutely need to study in 2026:
@AlexHormozi - offers, sales, distribution, making the economics make sense.
Jason Bay - outbound without sounding like a desperate SDR.
@Suprva02 - outbound, gtm strategies, personalization
@joshbraun - sales psychology + actually understanding what your buyer is thinking.
Becc Holland - prospecting, messaging, and the stuff most outbound teams completely overcomplicate.
Chris Walker - demand gen, positioning, and why โjust run more adsโ isnโt a GTM strategy.
@aprildunford - positioning. Seriously. Study this before you touch another cold email sequence.
@peeplaja - conversion, messaging, and getting brutally clear on what you're actually selling.
@KateBour - customer research, messaging, and figuring out what people actually care about.
Dave Gerhardt - content + distribution + turning attention into an actual business asset.
And honestlyโฆ
Donโt just consume their content.
Study how they think.
Look at how they frame problems.
How they talk about buyers.
How they create demand.
How they turn attention into conversations.
That's the part I'd spend 2026 getting really, really good at.
