📣 Big news! I’m honored to be featured in Voyage Ohio Magazine as a spotlighted entrepreneur for my work with my firm Internal Foundations Consulting ()

This feature isn’t just about me — it’s about the journey, the setbacks, the late nights, and the decision to build something real from the inside out.

From vision to structure. From hustle to strategy.

IFC was built to help entrepreneurs grow the right way — and this moment is a reflection of that mission in motion.

Thank you for recognizing the work. We’re just getting started.

📰

Originally the name of my company was called Time Is Money Empire, Inc.

Registered in 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣ …

And, no lie.. it was built in survival mode.

It was bold. It was loud. It matched the season I was in — grinding, figuring things out as I went, making something out of nothing.

But let’s be honest: that name doesn’t fit anymore. 👎🏾

The work I do now is deeper. It’s cleaner. It’s strategic, not just scrappy. I’m not building off adrenaline and instinct anymore — I’m building off clarity, systems, and long-term vision.

So I’ve changed the name (still kept the age) wink 😉

Not because the old one was wrong, but because it was time to outgrow what was never meant to carry me this far.

My firm now owns three different subsidiaries through the combination of Owner’s Equity and OPM since the Banks love the dead language of Latin.

As Derrick Whitehead would say..

“You Don’t Do Business To Get Money.. You Get Money To Do Business”

If you’re building something real, you eventually reach the point where your identity has to catch up with your capability.

That’s where I am.

Time Is Money was the hustle.
What’s next is the legacy.

Normally, I don’t make emotional posts but people love to say, “Be humble.”

But let’s be real—what they really mean is:
“Don’t aim too high.”
“Stay in your place.”
“Be grateful for what you have and stop reaching for more.”

But based on this definition?

To be humble is to keep a low estimate of your own importance?

To associate yourself with low rank and position?

That’s not the game I’m playing.

I was raised in a humble environment—but I refuse to carry a humble mindset.

I’ve been the underdog.

I’ve done the work.

And I’ve built something real from the inside out.

So no, I won’t dim my light to make others comfortable.

I won’t suppress my drive to fit someone else’s definition of “modesty.”

And I’m not shrinking for anyone.

Because the truth is—
Humility isn’t about thinking less of yourself.

It’s about knowing exactly who you are and moving with purpose.

And I know who I am.
A builder. A visionary. A leader.

And I’m just getting started.

Upgrading the CRMs for Time Inc Agency and Internal Foundations Consulting Wasn’t Just a Tech Move… It Was a Leadership Move, tbh.

Lately, I’ve been deep in refining our CRM systems, not to impress anyone, but to simplify everything.

Because at a certain point, the real bottleneck isn’t my effort as Head of Strategy… it’s disorganization (which is a huge pet-peeve for me).

Missed follow-ups, dropped leads, inconsistent communication, that stuff adds up fast, which is how most businesses collapse internally.

Upgrading the CRMs for both of my agencies has helped us automate client touchpoints, keep pipelines warm (without chasing) and allowed me to focus on the overall company strategy from a birds eye view instead micromanaging.

If you're scaling or just tired of wearing 12 hats at once, a solid CRM isn’t optional.

It’s how you shift from surviving to leading.

This is the unglamorous part of growth that actually makes the rest possible.

I’m not just building a business.
I’m laying bricks for a future with my bare hands —
so my children won’t have to start from scratch.

So the ones coming after me can walk paths I had to carve through stone.

Every late night, every heavy decision, every risk I take —

it’s a silent vow that echoes forward through generations.

I am the foundation.

I am the blueprint.

I am the sacrifice they’ll one day call opportunity.

Legacy isn't built by chance.

It's built by men and women who refuse to quit when it hurts.

Who plan, who build, who stay the course even when no one is watching.

This is bigger than today.
This is bigger than me.

This is legacy work.

Today marks ONE YEAR of partnership with 🎉🍾

What started as a bold step into the music-tech space has become a powerful alliance. As an internal Campaign Manager and Agency Partner with my company — I’ve had the opportunity to connect artists with real traction, bridge strategy with ex*****on, and bring value to creators looking to break through the noise.

Musicbreakr has been more than a platform—it’s been a movement! I couldn’t be more proud to be apart of the advancements and collaborative efforts of their Founders/Team, and to their clients 🔥

Shoutout to the entire team for the innovation, vision, and trust placed in me to be an asset to their vision.

To the artists, brands, and future partners—let’s work.

My mentor once called me “The Digital Surgeon” — and it stuck to me.

Not because it sounds cool, but because it defines how I approach my work.

I dissect problems, operate with precision, and stitch together digital strategies that actually work.

With a background rooted in discipline, leadership, and real-world grit..

I’ve built my personal brand around clarity, consistency, and calculated growth.

Whether it’s optimizing systems, scaling businesses, or refining a brand’s message, I bring intention to every move.

This isn’t guesswork — this is strategy.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start scaling, let’s connect.

Okay Meta Family, you know Monday is R&D Day for me — which should be a perfect reminder to let you know that growth doesn’t happen by accident.

Last week, I attended a Fracional COO Roundtable, hosted by Jen Hamilton which allowed me to connect with other Strategists and Advisors in the Operational Management space to share what makes us stand out from our colleagues / competitors, identifying and sharing unique value propositions, small wins and other insightful discussions.

I strongly recommend and encourage others in our niche to connect with Jen to learn more ‼️

Also, this past Wednesday, I didn’t post the R&D recap due to more important developments at Internal Foundations Consulting.

With that being said, R&D should be paramount for growth in your practice, no matter the industry.

It should be engineered through intentional research, strategic innovation, a commitment to refining what already works and letting go of what doesn’t.

For example, this past week I’ve had to consider refinements to my Personal Brand as an Executive vs being an Advisor / Strategist - deciphering between Growth Content vs Converting Content.

And, as Head of State at IFC, I’ve had to consider trimming the fat around our Low Ticket, Mid-Ticket, and High Ticket Offers to best serve our Team, Client, Vendors, Partners and Community.

If you’re a founder, executive, or small business owner, here are a few suggestions of key topics you should consider exploring for your R&D efforts:

✨Customer Behavior Shifts – What are your customers doing now that they weren’t last year?

✨Tech & Automation – Are there smarter, leaner ways to run your internal systems?

✨Market Positioning – Does your current positioning reflect your competitive edge?

✨Product/Service Expansion – Is there a gap in the market you’re uniquely positioned to fill?

✨ AI & Data Strategy – Are you making decisions based on gut or data?

✨Feedback Loops – Do you have a system for learning from clients and applying insights?

—-

R&D isn’t just for tech giants — it’s essential for every business serious about staying relevant and building long-term success.
