Mamba Mentality is coming to Austin Tech Week!

Hyped to announce I'm a speaker this year.

My session is called Kobe Bryant's Secret Handbook. Kobe Bryant was the GOAT for a reason. He found innovative ways to get advantages and edges that others didn't.

In this session, we will unpack some of the secrets Kobe used to achieve greatness and how you can apply them in your own life to:

-grow your business
-get more customers
-stand out in a crowded internet

Excited to announce I'll be speaking at @AustinTech Week on "The Future of Storytelling"

Joining Amy Jackson, @BrentWistrom, & @LynGraft to talk social media, newsletters, podcasts, legacy media, & AI.

My take for founders & builders: Own your voice & your audience connection.
