I'm excited to announce I recently acquired the domain anevo(.)com for $13,000
The first question you might be asking is... why pay that much for a domain?
...let alone a word that doesn't "mean" anything
Although it is not likely to generate us a ROI today, this week, or this month, I have a long term vision for my company and team & figure this is another step in the direction of building a proper brand
When I first started this business, I didn't have any real track record of success and didn't have the money to get a proper domain
I settled for anevomarketing(.)com - while having a long domain or having the word "marketing" in the name ultimately "doesn't matter" I just didn't love the look of how long it was and didn't feel like it represented our brand
I also promised that when I hit a revenue milestone that I'd splurge and get a nice watch - when I hit it (and have now well exceeded it) it just didn't "feel" right when I could invest more into the business/company/team
While "anevo" might not mean anything to anyone, it was the name I picked when I started and I always wanted to have the clean 5 letter .com to accompany it
I see this as a bigger bet on the vision & I'm happy with it even if it does nothing, but I see this as another deposit into our brand that will pay dividends
Next step is to rebuild a proper site to along with it (in progress)

Also not used to sharing numbers / moves like this, but I'm sharing this in an attempt to "build in public" more after watching a recent YT vid from the Bloom CEO Greg LaVecchia & felt inspired lol
Appreciate you all - have another exciting announcement in the next few hours 👀

All the money and the power in the world sits in a room
You will never be invited in
But at any time;
You can walk up to the door
Open it yourself
Sit down & wait for a pause in the conversation
You will get an opportunity to speak

The door is unlocked

🚨I'm looking for a DAWGGG who wants to build 🚨
I run AdSumo Digital - we're a DTC Ecommerce marketing agency that started back in 2023 and has worked with over 30+ brands and a team of 9. We do email/SMS, landing pages, and paid ads for brands doing $1M-$30M+
I've been deep in trying to building internal AI tools for the agency and our clients, using Claude Code to automate some workflows, Manus to generate ad briefs, Nano Banana Pro to produce static ads at scale, and working on custom UI internal softwares so the team can be 10x more productive and focus on strategy
I'm not looking for a freelancer. I need someone who can actually build these kinds of things alongside me - automations, SOPs, department structures, AI workflows - and wants to grow with the agency
This is a genuine opportunity to come build with me → own operations → COO (A players only)
Whether you're a media buyer who wants a bit more or a creative strategist who wants to build on top of that skill and eventually own our paid ads creative department, or run our landing page/CRO division, or growing into a full COO role - the path is here and you'll be incentivized on the impact you create
Looking for the right person
DM me if that's you or if you know someone and lets yap
RT for visibility if your a homie

3 years ago, I was working a 9-5 bored out of my mind jumping from side hustle to side hustle without direction.
Then I found a random job posting from a guy named Max Sturtevant looking for an account manager at his email marketing agency.
I had some experience, but mostly what I had was a fire under my ass and a goal to learn and roll with any punches to be the best I possibly could be. So I applied & sent over the worst loom intro video anyone’s probably ever seen.
After about 5-6 months of learning the ropes, I moved into the Director of Operations role simply because stuff needed to get done and I kept being the one to make shit happen.
Fast forward to today:
Our agency has grown from a team of 10 people to 75+. We manage email and SMS for 7-9 figure e-commerce brands… Overseeing fulfillment, operations, and client services across the entire company.
None of this was planned. But as we grew, I kept learning and figuring shit out on the go.
What I've learned is there's no manual for scaling a company 10x. You just have to build the plane while it's flying and never any one thing get you down. If you let stress or noise or overwhelm get to you, you’re never going to be able to perform at your best.
So, if you're building an agency or running an ecom brand, let's connect. I'll be dropping the sauce of what I'm learning along the way as we scale Well Copy to 8 figures and beyond.
Let's get it.

If you speed run that first 36-48 months of struggle, incompetency, and friction in your craft with massive amounts of exposure through high levels of activity it’s pretty hard to fail. Once you cross that chasm from amateur to professional everything gets easier from there. All of the problems and challenges get easier to accomplish. The issue is most people, especially young men change their focus every 12-24 months never commit to anything and never allow the time catch up to the activity and skills that will inevitably come with it then wake up one day in 30s realizing they never become an expert at anything. In 20s you’re far better off just picking something becoming competent and let it rock out. You can change vehicles, focus once you have a marketable and monetizable skill

Your failure to imagine how good things could go makes you play too small.
If you knew just how good things could go, you’d go for it
But you worry about what happens if you fail, so you get scared & never try…and that’s the real mistake
How will you know if you don’t try?
How many amazing things have you missed out on bc you were scared?
WHAT IF IT ALL GOES RIGHT?

You don’t think highly enough of yourself because:
- You don't know about the Galatea Effect studies
- You haven't read Rosenthal's 1968 study in Cali
- Or Van Dinther's research in self efficacy
- You haven't even read the book Self-Efficacy
- You might not even know wtf Self-Efficacy means
- You have no clue who Bandura is
- You've never read Pajares on the misunderstanding of self efficacy constructs to really understand it
- You don't know what RAS stands for
- You've never seen Ozer's 1990 analysis on empowerment mechanisms
- You don't know what Cervone discovered about self-reactive influences in 1986
- You don't know what Maddux proposed in 1995 about imaginal experiences
- You have no clue what the Golem Effect actually measures
You haven't gone down the right rabbit holes yet...
This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Things you probably should do more of in 2026:
> Charging more
> Grabbing coffees for all your boys the morning after you go out drinking and not asking them to pay you back
> Smiling more at Starbucks baristas
> Telling your parents you're grateful af for them because you probably grew up more privileged than you think
> Covering the dinner tab for your girlfriend and all her friends by calling the restaurant ahead of time and getting them to say "this evening has been covered by Mr. Bryden" and then responding to her text about it with a James Bond GIF (anecdotal evidence)
> Not telling people anything about how your business is doing and always responding with "doing my best" and a smile no matter what
> Charging more

You can love or hate "new year new me" as much as you want, but use the start of 2026 as a primer for whatever you're trying to do in your life.
Completely fresh start trying to become a new person? Great.
Simply keeping up the momentum from last year? Go for it.
There's no reason you can't make up a little story for yourself to get a little extra pep in your step when you wake up tomorrow.
Everything is ours for the taking.

I went to a coffee shop on NYE in the morning and swear the gentleman beside me was working through this.
Had to be in his 50’s-60’s too. Got me inspired af.
