LinkedIn has a reputation for corporate cringe culture. We've all seen those cliché posts: "I'm happy to announce that..." "Here are the 5 things I learned about digital marketing after falling and breaking my leg..." (ok that was purposely hyperbolic, but I've seen memes poking fun at outlandish LinkedIn posts) But actually, posting on LinkedIn is SUPER underrated. J.T. O'Donnell, Founder of Work It Daily and a LinkedIn Top Voice, uncringified LinkedIn for me. I recently attended one of her...

AI poses many threats to society, and we're probably unprepared for them. But what I will *not* be participating in is indulging those fears to blackpill people to accepting a fate where the future is taken over by robots and everyone's jobless. I got inspired to write this LinkedIn post to vent my frustration with "AI doomers": Not to pick on older people, but I have noticed an almost fanatical response to AI and the future of work from the older generations. "Oh, it doesn't matter, you'll...

I was on a walk the other day and I was listening to the new Taylor Swift album. While on the walk, I texted my Swiftie cousin and told her that I am "the fairest weather barely fan of Taylor Swift." In other words, I don't hate her music, but I don't love it (and I would never call myself a Swiftie.) But, after I listened to the album on my walk, I did come away with something. Even though the music didn't feel the catchiest to me, the lyrics were great. There were some deep lines, meaning,...

So I opened a Stan Store a few weeks ago and I love it. If you don't know what Stan is, it's a creator-first all-in-one platform where you can sell digital products, coaching, memberships, etc. It's a way to quickly get a digital storefront up as a content creator or anyone with an online presence. Anyway, I set up a Stan Store because I wanted to start offering 1:1 marketing strategy calls. I've gotten many inquiries for this over the years. Helping people see the bigger picture when it...

This is a quote from Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn from his famous book, "The Gulag Archipelago." It's one I reflect on often, and it sits especially heavy on my heart after last week. "Gradually, it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either—but right through every human heart—and through all human hearts." That's the newsletter for today. 🤍, Dom 1230 22nd Ave Kenosha, WI...

A few weeks ago, I was at my cousin's house and he asked, "Have you seen Kpop Demon Hunters?" And I was like.... no? He goes, "I'm putting it on." Loved it, 10/10, no notes. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't that. I went home and watched it again a few days later. (Am I hooked?) I won't spoil it, but it has a lot of philosophical story lines. Good & evil, feeling uncomfortable about our true selves, stepping into your power...it got deep! This movie became an international...

I woke up today to a brisk morning and realized it's almost SEPTEMBER?! K! Bye, where did summer go? Though I'm not looking forward to a long winter, the colder months are definitely when I reflect more. Last winter, I had damn near a whole reinvention of self. One could say I locked in. Locked in but never stressing It's not too late Q4 can really seem like a blur. Fall comes, the holidays follow, and boom - it's 2026. But last year, instead of falling into the mindset that the year is...

I think I used 3 different types of tomatoes yesterday: tomatoes from the garden, campari tomatoes, and heirloom. Hey, they're in season! And hey, I'm Italian-American. Tomatoes come in many forms in this household. This, a piece of bread, and a Diet Coke? It's over. Sorry for making you hungry. If you need a snack before you continue reading, I get it. (I'll wait for you). Now answer me this: if you had an heirloom tomato in your hand, would you eat it within a day or so or eat it in a year?...

My first social media management job was at a non-profit. It was very design-heavy and I learned most of my graphic design skills there. I secured another social media management client and this time, it was very video-focused. I learned how to edit short-form video, optimize for different social media platforms, and keep up with algorithms. I also learned my most important lesson: not to create solely for an algorithm. In between, I had SEO projects, website projects, and email projects. Now...
