New Release — Field Guide
Applied AI
Business Playbook.
From Theory to Monday Morning Results in 90 Days
A practical field guide for leaders competing on timing, not resources.
I launched my career during the social media revolution. The winners weren't the biggest — they were the ones who acted first with clarity and purpose. Today AI is that open window. The opportunity isn't awareness. It's knowing where to aim.
This field guide is 15 years of in-the-trenches lessons — wins, missteps, and repeatable patterns — compressed into a manual you can keep on your desk. It answers the question hundreds of leadership teams have asked me: “How do we apply AI right now, without a seven-figure budget or an army of data scientists?”
Book Two
Momentum.
How to Propel Your Marketing and Transform Your Brand in the Digital Age
Momentum was written for leaders who feel stuck between knowing they need to move and not knowing where to start. It lays out a framework for building forward motion by acting on present-moment opportunity instead of waiting for perfect conditions.
The principles in this book are the foundation for everything that came after: the signal-reading approach, the bias toward decisive action, the belief that the organizations winning right now are the ones willing to move while others are still planning.
Book Three · 2010
The Zen of
Social Media Marketing.
The book that started it all.
Published in 2010, when many businesses were still skeptical of social media, The Zen of Social Media Marketing introduced the thesis that has shaped my work: leaders need clarity and purpose when deciding which emerging opportunities deserve action.
This was the book that proved you don't need to predict the future to win. You need to see what's happening right now and move on it. That principle hasn't changed — only the technology has.
The book’s ideas can be brought to life through a social media keynote on AI-era attention and trust or a broader marketing keynote on growth, brand behavior, and customer decision-making.
