Just to share a little more of the professional work I do day to day, here’s a recent AI video project I created with Screenburn.ai for Easton & Easton. As an official partner of the Anaheim Ducks, Easton & Easton has a major presence around the team and Honda Center. This piece ultimately played on the Jumbotron during the NHL playoffs, which was an incredible place to see the work come to life. A large part of my work involves developing AI-driven video campaigns for law firms and other local brands, with spots that have aired during major events including the Olympics and now the FIFA World Cup. These projects combine creative direction, storytelling, editing, production experience, and emerging AI tools to create advertising that feels cinematic, memorable, and built for large audiences. Really proud of how this one came together.

Yeah. Read that again. Not $90K. Not $9K. Nine hundred dollars a month. For a while I didn't want to look at that number. Big goals feel good and the real number felt like a slap in the face. So I did what a lot of us do. I pushed the $100K vision. The plan. The someday. And I quietly avoided the $900. Then it dawned on me. The gap wasn't the problem. Pretending the gap wasn't there was the problem. I wasn't running a 100K business model - I was building a startup from complete scratch. Absolutely different position points in time, space, and company maturity. Even more-so, you can't build a bridge if you won't look at one side of the canyon. Once I said the real number out loud, the work got obvious. Get to the next 10 customers. Not the next 10,000. Big goal on the wall. Small honest number in front of me. Both true at the same time. That's the whole game right now. If you're sitting on a goal that's 100x your reality, here's what actually helped: - Write down your real number today. The unsexy one. No rounding up. - Set the goal that's 1 step away, not 100 steps away (my $900 → next milestone, not $100K). - Do one thing this week that moves the real number, even a little. - Say the real number out loud to someone. It loses its power to scare you. What's the real number you've been avoiding looking at? 👇 📚 Worth your time: Do Things That Don't Scale — Paul Graham The earliest stage of growth is supposed to look small and unglamorous — that's the work, not a sign you're failing. http://paulgraham.com/ds.html

What matters more for an AI company: consistently producing content that attracts attention, or building a polished product that delivers real value? Can strong marketing compensate for an unfinished product—or does the product need to be solid before content can create sustainable growth? Which should come first: visibility or product quality?

Hello, team! My name is Meegan. I've been marketing tech startups for 20 years - from being the 7th hire to managing an upmarket shift for a billion-dollar company. I helped one startup go from 0 to Mastercard acquisition in 2.5 years - by focusing on the customer and building scalable systems. Now I'm consulting on growth and efficiency by connecting with real humans (imagine that!) and building valuable relationships. In my experience, human contact and providing value are the two essentials to efficient growth. I'm excited to learn all about you and help in any way I can. Outside of my work life, I love to get outside: hiking, skiing, kayaking, swimming, or just laying on my back deck staring up at the trees and thinking hippy thoughts. Cheers!
