As someone who used to work in the CPG space, I've seen a LOT of swag.

Hats
T-shirts
Accessories
Notebooks
Lip balm
Pizza wheels
Wine openers
Pens
Bags
Bar mats
Cups
Sunglasses

Most of it's terrible.

Some of it's brilliant.

But here's the thing: if you want people to remember your brand, you need to make things that are for THEM, not just to promote your business.

Good Pop gets that.

Which one of these swag items would you want?

If you’re sitting at your job wondering whether AI will replace you, you’re playing the wrong game.

According to HR company Challenger, Gray & Christmas, their jobs report just dropped—and it’s ugly.

Over 150,000 job cuts in ONE MONTH.

The worst October in more than 20 years.

Companies are cutting roles, hitting pause on hiring, and citing AI as a key disruption.

And here’s what they don’t tell you:

The safe jobs aren’t totally safe.
Your title doesn’t protect you.

Waiting for someone else to save your career is a bad plan.

If you don’t act now, you’ll be relying on what you do right now—and that’s exactly what AI is trying to make obsolete.

You need MORE than your job. You need a brand and a side hustle that no algorithm can touch.

Here are 10 things you can start doing TODAY so you’re not living off your job’s mercy.

1) Build your personal brand.
Show your expertise online so people LOOK for you!

2) Start a digital product.
eBook, course, template—something you own.

3) Create a side hustle.
It doesn’t have to replace your job—but it builds freedom.

4) Offer your services to niche clients.
Be a specialist in something, not a generalist. What can you do or teach that someone else needs?

5) Learn a new skill.
I'm talking about one that AI can’t easily replicate—like emotional intelligence, storytelling, or strategic thinking.

6) Document your journey.
Someone else behind you needs to know what you've learned. Building in public generates trust and authority.

7) Network intentionally.
Don't just join a BNI and *hope* for clients. Build relationships and STAY CONNECTED with people who could refer you, partner with you, or hire you.

8) Build a portfolio or case studies.
Show wins—not just promises.

9) Diversify your income and invest.
Seriously - get a a financial advisor who *knows* how to grow your money better than the S&P. (not all of them do)

10) Create passive or recurring income.
Subscription, membership, retainer—something that pays while you sleep.

If you’re waiting for AI to leave you alone, don't hold your breath.

Instead, build things it can’t touch—your voice, your network, your unique value.

AI can't replace your spin on what makes you a classic.

And a classic...will always be in demand. 🚘

One change took an agency client from 👻 leads to $450k in 2 months.

Want to guess what it was?

👇

Their LinkedIn profile.
And more specifically, the headline.

You see, they were commenting, posting, and participating like mad, but what they did? Convoluted and confusing.

And if I can’t figure out what you do in 3 seconds, you’re losing me (and everyone else).

No one’s playing Matlock🕵 trying to guess what you do.

Here’s what I see out here. You're either:

1) Crystal Clear: I get it instantly. You win. 🤩

2) Kinda Clear: I think I know what you do… but not betting 💸 on it.

3) Buzzword Bonanza: All the corporate jargon, and boring as 🦆 .

4) Title Collector: 8 roles, 14 slashes, zero clarity.

5) The Disappearing Act: No headline, no context, no clue.

If you’re not #1, you’re making people work too hard.

And guess what, buttercup? They won’t.

So here’s the game:

Go to this post on LinkedIn (link in the comments), and drop your headline in the comments.

I’ll speed-read it.
If it’s unclear, I’ll roast it 🔥
(as nicely as I can 😏 )

And then I’ll tell you exactly how to fix it.

The grill's ready! Who’s brave enough? 🔥

(PS, Zeke says hi) 🐾

"𝟐𝟑𝟔 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞."

That's how many people saw my last LinkedIn post...and I'll be honest. I've been busy, and haven't posted consistently in months.

Don't get me wrong. In-person networking is great to relationship build.

But when was the last time YOUR BRAND was seen by 236 people?

And what if all of those people you met at that last networking function, BNI meetup, or event...

Could see your thought leadership and what makes you different with what you do?

That's the power of content.

The platform you choose to use is relevant only to the audience you serve.

It can be LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram...it doesn't matter.

And you DO NOT have to figure out what to say daily!

But when you SHOW UP and SPEAK UP, your audience can hear you.

And when they're ready to BUY, they know you're the BEST CHOICE for what they need. 🏡🏢📊🗄

The best way to brand your build:

If you create content, newsletters, or anything else WRITTEN for your business, make sure your content is formatted to LEFT align, not CENTERED.

That includes headers and subheadings!

If you've ever studied how people process content...

Most folks read in 'E', 'F', and 'Z' patterns, especially with emails.

When you center the content, that pattern is disrupted...
Which means the brain has to work harder...

And I probably don't have to tell you that making customers "think harder" don't translate into more sales.

🤔🤔🤔

So, if you want more readers to take action, implement, or engage with your content, use left or justified alignment.

Your sales will thank you!

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼?

If you lost everything today—your audience, your business, your connections—and had to start all over again...

What would you do?

Most people won’t think about this question because it’s uncomfortable.

The idea of going back to zero is something we don't even want to consider.

But if you don’t have a clear answer, you don’t really understand what’s driving your success.

Many folks think success comes from luck. Being in the right place, at the right time.

Hitting the algorithm just right, capturing just the right audience.

But the truth is, there's a system to success.

And if I had to start from zero, I wouldn’t panic.

Because I know exactly what I’d do to rebuild.

And if you’re struggling to grow, feeling stuck, or thinking it’s “too late” for you, then you need this game plan too.

Most people waste time chasing quick hacks and viral moments.

They think AI can replace actual strategy.

They copy what’s working for others instead of doubling down on what makes them unique or different.

(This applies both to personal brands as well as businesses...
Entrepreneurs to nonprofit organizations-it's all the same.)

And that’s why they stay invisible, don't get funded, or don't land the deal.

If I had to start over, I wouldn’t do any of that.

Here’s what I would do:

𝟭) 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗺𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲.

Whom do I serve?
What problem do I solve?
What makes me different?

These questions are ground zero for how you build a business.

𝟮) 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁.

No fluff or boring ego-brags.

No generic AI-generated junk.

Real insights, real stories, real opinion from things I've learned.

𝟯) 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲.
Now that I know whom I serve, I’d engage daily, comment on key conversations, and make people notice me.

By following this process, I 10x'd my business with **less** than 1800 followers on LinkedIn.

You don’t need a big audience—you need the *right* people paying attention.

𝟰) 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗦𝗔𝗣.

Too many people wait until they feel “ready.”

I’d start selling ASAP, even if my offer was simple.

You can always build more.

𝟱) 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀.

No algorithm can stop someone who refuses to quit.

And if you're early and frequent with your message, you *will* become your customers' first choice before they're ever ready to buy.

Every business will eventually have an expiration date, but that doesn't mean you can't evolve it into something new.

Focus on the creative process, and you'll have a winning recipe for success.

If you're a small business owner and you're paying for ads, but not creating content...

Consider this your permission to STOP🛑.

Small businesses throw thousands into ads every month...

But with zero original content to back it up, here's what happens:

– They pay for clicks
– Those clicks go to a boring, generic social feed
– And then… crickets. No leads. No sales. No trust.

Or, even if ads are working, god forbid you stop.
Because if you do, the leads will dry up!

Here’s the cold truth:

🥶Advertising doesn’t build relationships.
🥶Advertising doesn’t build trust or authority.
🥶Advertising doesn’t fix a weak message or dead feed.

If you're not creating content, you’re paying to send people to a cold, empty storefront.

Would you do that in real life? (of course not)

Then stop doing it online.

👉 Build the brand.
👉 Post the content.
👉 Let your authority do the heavy lifting.

Then-and ONLY then-run the ads.

Otherwise? You’re just lighting your money on fire. 🔥

Are you over thinking your online engagement strategy?

(you know who you are)

Let me guess—you open Facebook, or Instagram, or LinkedIn...
Scroll through a few posts, and then spend the next 15–30 minutes stuck in your own head:

👉 Should I say something here?
👉 Is it worth it?
👉 What if it’s not “good enough”?
👉 Will this even help my business?

Here’s the truth: you don’t need a perfect post to build authority.

You just need to show up with value—consistently.

If you're ready to stop lurking and start leveraging your social network to get customers, here’s the 3-step process I PERSONALLY USE to make commenting easier (and more profitable):

1️⃣ Pick 5 people you want to stay visible with—clients, collaborators, or thought leaders.
2️⃣ Comment with insight, not fluff. Add a tip, ask a question, or share a quick story.
3️⃣ Engage back—when someone replies, keep the convo going.

💡 Authority doesn’t come from fancy graphics or viral posts. It comes from connection. From context. From showing up.

Yes, even in the comments, folks.
