I was a pro athlete for 12 years. When retired, I took a compliance job for safety, but I knew I wanted to be a marketer - and a damn good one.
I started copywriting while I was still in my 9-5 compliance job. After 11 months, I took a 50%+ pay cut for a half-day social media job while working on freelance projects. Within 6 months I quit. Writing copy had more than doubled my income, helped scale the B2B brands who hired me, and solidified what I always knew.
Some impact my writing had in 2026 alone:
Corporate & B2B leads generated
Organic impressions on social media
Followers generated for clients
