In this solo episode of The Dept. I break down why one of the most powerful business models you can build is a business that allows you to teach. I explain how teaching can be used across every stage of business from lead generation to conversion to fulfillment to retention and why the people who make the most impact online are not always the ones with the most information, but the ones who know how to communicate in a way that actually moves people. If you’ve ever felt underpaid for your expertise, struggled to turn what you know into real income, or wanted to create content that actually changes people and leads them into the next step, this is an essential episode. Let go Dept. Fam!

In this episode of The Dept. I was featured on Kassidy Warrens podcast for a conversation about what it actually takes to stand out online today. We talk about why personal brand matters more than ever, how authenticity is becoming the real advantage in the age of AI, and why trying to “keep up” with everyone else is the wrong strategy. If you’ve been overthinking content, sitting on your ideas, or trying to figure out how to grow a brand that actually means something, this is an essential episode.

Very different episode today... I sit down with Lynn Washington for one of the most personal and heartfelt conversations on the show yet. We open up about grief, faith, and how to keep showing up in seasons of deep loss. I share the story of losing his father unexpectedly on Easter Sunday and how that experience reshaped his view of peace, purpose, and presence. If you’ve ever walked through loss or loved someone who has, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone and that God can meet you right where you are. Love you Dept. Fam.

TUESDAY DROP TODAY We break down how to actually start using tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, how to think about AI as a productivity and income multiplier, and why prompting, training, and human judgment matter more than the tools themselves.
