After working with 200+ clients to build personal brands
This is the formula that we have used to:
• Gain millions of followers
• Increase inbound leads
• Create authentic brands
Before we talk about the content, let's talk about who should work with Legacy Builder (and who shouldn't)
You should work with us if you:
• Have a proven offer
• Are wiling to share your story
• You know who your target audience is
• You are willing to commit to a long-term vision
• Want content going out daily to build your brand
You should not work with us if you:
• Don't have a value proposition
• Aren't willing to share your story
• Feel that it's impossible to capture your voice
• Think that building a brand happens overnight
• Don't want content going out daily to build brand
Now on to the the formula
There are 5 types of content that we deploy at Legacy Builder as a base
• Case Studies
• Video Shorts
• Authenticity
• Authority/Expertise
• Text-only
Here's why we do this:
Case studies prove that you have done this for other people
Video shorts allow your audience to hear and connect with you
Authenticity allows for your audience to see you are. a real person
Authority/Expertise allow your audience to see that you are the expert (and still learning everyday)
Text-only gives you the chance to share random thoughts without it being overproduced
Put all this together with our team (strategists, writers, designers, success managers) working on your behalf and you have the recipe for a real brand
Legacy Builder has worked with:
Email Marketers
E-commerce brands
Mindset/Performance Coaches
Marketing Agencies
Product Brands
Personal Brands
Authors and Speakers
C-suite executives
Many more…
The reason we are able to have success is because of our process that we have refined over time
We also take a client-first approach
When you sign with us you have a dedicated channel to speak with your:
• Strategist
• Writer
• Designer
• Succes Manager
• Myself
We onboard you, interview you, and roll out your content.
You are with us every step of the way and have access to collaborate with us (without having to hire a full-team in house, train them, and hope it works)
If you are looking to build your brand and want:
• A customized content plan
• A dedicated writing team
• A strategy that gets results
Send me a DM to book a call.
We work with CEOs, Founders, Agency Owners and Business to build audiences daily (and love doing it).
Why you should never give up and go all in on yourself:
This year I turn 34
5 years ago I was sitting in a rental doomscrolling Twitter (still call it that for what it’s worth)
I was drowning in debt with a family that needed me to figure it out
Then I found the corner of twitter that talked about how to learn skills, create content, and earn a living online
I’ve dedicated every day since then to learning, growing, and helping others build the greatest asset in our lifetime:
A personal brand
Because a personal brand has led me to build a company that has earned over $5M lifetime
It’s put me in rooms with billionaires, helped me meet friends that changed my life, and create a life of abundance
Most importantly it has given me time with my family and the ability to show others what is possible
So, if you are reading this don’t by into the “we are all screwed” narrative
Everything you want is on the other side of the work required to get there
Just gotta believe that no matter what the universe is going to work out in your favor
If you are serious about building a business in 2026:
One of the greatest moves in the table is finding your tribe
Your absolute boys
Building a business takes many things, perseverance, attention to detail, innovation, etc
But the greatest asset a strong team provides might just be levity
Being able to put things in perspective and keep momentum going in all circumstances
Couldn’t have asked for a better crew to keep building @legacybuilder@CliftonSellers@erichiggs0@JonaTHildreth
Four years ago today I started @legacybuilder
I had a laptop, a hunch, and a family that needed me to win.
That was the whole business plan.
Year one I told people I was “building.”
I was actually figuring out if I could survive being the only person who believed in it.
Year two I stopped explaining what we did at parties.
Easier to say “marketing”
Year three almost broke me.
Not because the business was bad.
Because it was finally working, and I’d built a version of it that needed me in every room.
I was the bottleneck I kept complaining about.
Year four something shifted.
I stopped trying to be the smartest person in my company. I started trying to be the calmest.
My team didn’t need more of my ideas. They needed more of my trust.
My daughters didn’t need a dad who was crushing it. They needed one who looked up when they walked in.
Four years in, here’s what I actually know:
The business only grows as fast as the operator does.
Most strategy problems are identity problems wearing a suit.
The version of you who started the company is not the one who gets to scale it. You’ll have to grieve him. Nobody warns you about that part.
I’m not where I thought I’d be. I’m somewhere better (and somewhere harder) than the picture I had four years ago.
To everyone who bet on @legacybuilder before there was anything to bet on: thank you (I’m looking at you @BrettErik and @erichiggs0). To my wife, who carried more than her share while I figured this out: I see it. To my girls, who have no idea what dad does for work and don’t care: you’re the whole reason any of it matters.
Year five starts tomorrow.
Same mission. Steadier hands.
2000: I lost my mom to cancer
2001: I found out I was adopted
2002: I started doing drugs

2012: I met my future wife
2018: I became a father
2020: I was in $30k credit card debt
2021: I started a Twitter account

2025: Hit my first $2M year, built our dream home, and continue to pursue a life of meaning
The one thought I had the entire time was that the only person who could get me out of this is myself
Don't ever give up on yourself
These things take time

People want some “magic bullet” for content
It really just comes down to:
> consistency
> adapting
> having fun
> being honest
> not being bothered
If you test and tweak to much, it won’t work
You have to allow for compounding
There is no secret, just the work
Founder must-haves for content:
> anchor document with content pillars and storylines
> system to extract unique concept and stories
> frameworks for social platforms
> newsletter cadence and growth levers
> video system to build deeper trust
> outbound system for opportunities
Everyone needs a playbook.
For music, for business SOP's, for sports, whatever.
A guiding set of rules that shows you what to focus on, and what step to take next.
We have been quietly building out our DWY services for some time now, and yesterday we had a particularly fun onboarding call with a new client.
They have an amazing business.
They have an amazing team.
And they have been wanting to add social media and newsletter...
...but like many people, they were overwhelmed by all of the conflicting opinions on the timeline.
How many posts per day?
What kind of posts?
What about outreach?
The two most common constraints I see are 1) unclear brand positioning, and 2) fear of judgement.
To overcome the 1st constraint, the simplest way is to identify the opposite - start with what you don't want to represent. It gets the process moving, and helps you start piecing together the vague outline of your core messaging.
For the 2nd, the best solution is to gain maximum clarity around your WHY. Your purpose will give you the best chance of focusing on the right things, and ignoring the rest.
