tech sales leader, eternal optimist, builder, creative genius (ha!), loving and serving people is my passion | Proverbs 22:1

I decided to start building out loud and sharing the daily process here on 𝕏 in 2025. Here are the main themes I want to focus on:

1. Run more miles (including winter running)
2. Continue training in the gym with my son
3. Share BTS on sales leadership in tech
4. Start a boring business (more to come)
5. Encourage others to be intentional in their faith
6. More creative pursuits (i.e. sharing videos here on 𝕏)
7. Read more books, share more learnings

I want to show up everyday and help others along the way. I’ve found the best way to do this (in the past) is to document and collaborate.

Follow along and let’s build the future together.

@Brady_H Oh yeah, no doubt.

Grew up in the gym my whole life, dad was a bodybuilder and brother in NFL, but I’d give up the gym to run 25-30 miles a week if I had to pick one.

And I only started around 2021.

@nickgraynews I drive a paid for 2019 Rammy Blammy with 93k miles on it. I’m in tech and live a low carb and Swedish Fish lifestyle.

@tyromper Feel you there Ty. I usually go extra large hoodie up, worship in my ears and eyes fixed on Him.

@SpydercoKnives Choil all day. Better purchase between the thumb and index plus allows you to get a good handle on smaller knives.

[ryanfromDetroit @ryanfromDetroit]

@thesamparr I have the exact same ones and I’m smitten.

[ryanfromDetroit @ryanfromDetroit]

@thedankoe No, it’s Swedish fish.

[ryanfromDetroit @ryanfromDetroit]

@thescottleese Haha goteem

It all comes down to being a good human and leaving people better than you found them.

Easier said than done because it takes our most valuable asset and we cannot get it back….time.

Late night gym session with my “little” guy. One of my non-negotiables in 2025 is spending time in the gym with my boy.

This kid has grow 2 inches, 25 pounds and a shoe size in less than 3 months. Beast.

Having built and led enterprise and strategic teams from the ground up for tech startups, I can say selling upmarket is tough sledding for sure.

Not impossible but in my opinion you need 3 things to make a successful push:

1. A product that does what you say it will do (product market fit).

2. A team of sellers who have sold product upmarket when no one knew what their company did (high EQ and even greater willingness to put in the hours necessary every single day to make it work….i.e. failure is not an option).

3. A technical/presales team that is obsessed with helping you win customers above all else and don’t turn every customer call into a “let’s see who has a bigger sword” conversation.

Without all three of these, you have a better chance going up 💩’s creek without a paddle. IMHO.

Do you think they’ll let me in Lambeau wearing a @Lions sweatshirt?

We will find out in T minus 15 hours.
