Y’all I sent those with tickets something in the mail / look out for a red envelope from meeeeee! I’m knee deep in prep today and it’s going to be so so so amazing!!!! Let me know are you: A. I’m coming ticket locked in!! B. I need a ticket, how do I get one? C. What’s SYWTC LIVE? 👀👀

Everyone starts somewhere right? Well I wouldn’t have it any other way… not only did I get paid for the opportunity to speak (when I was willing to do it free of charge) it was also through my former employer who laid me off just over a year ago! No prior speaking experience… no truly defined pitch or sales call. Just sheer determination, a relationship with the right person and the guts to ask and prepare for it! Can’t wait to see what God does next!

Hell Beautiful People! My name is Dr. Shade and ’m a branding and marketing strategist. I’m excited to be here and even more excited about what’s next. After securing my first government contract, I’m now looking forward to landing my first corporate contract.

I’m not a sports fan. I am — and always will be — a brand builder and business strategist. And let’s be clear: Most moves you see on big stages? They’re either power moves or money moves. What happened to Shedeur Sanders on draft night was both. 4,134 passing yards. 37 touchdowns. 74.2% completion rate. Top-tier performance. Top-tier production. And yet the camera kept panning to him… First round? No. Second? No. Third? No. Fifth. Round. 144th overall. You could see the pain on his face. The tight smile. The weight of knowing the room knew he deserved better — but the system wasn’t built to reward him. And here’s the raw truth: No matter how high you climb… If you need a system to validate you, to provide for you, to make you “official”… you’ll always be vulnerable. Shedeur’s saving grace? He built his brand before the system ever called his name. - Multi-million dollar independent NIL deals. - A podcast. - Media coverage. - Personal brand equity. - Corporate partnerships. He wasn’t waiting for the NFL to make him marketable. He was marketable already. When I was still working a full-time job, I launched my first media campaign. I built my platform before I needed it. Why? Because I never trusted the system to reward me based solely on merit. And that’s what helped me build the ecosystem that powers our business today. Sometimes you’re not overlooked because you’re lacking. You’re overlooked because they can’t handle what you’re carrying. Because they never built a table wide enough for people like you. So stop waiting. BUILD. YOUR. OWN. TABLE. - Carve your path. - Set your standard. - Become the system you thought you had to fit into. The world saw Shedeur. He doesn’t need validation to be valuable. Neither do you. Let’s build. If you’re ready to stop relying on systems you don’t control to pay you, join the Pitch Your Way To Cash Academy.
