dmkthinks… How Did This All Start?

Back in 2009, when I started dmkthinks, I had no idea what I was doing. I was still in college. I knew I wanted to share something with the world…I just wasn’t sure what.

A picture of me in college — College me, circa 10 years ago. I also had a terrible haircut, was pale as a ghost, and liked to drink a lot of jungle juice…

So, I started writing about whatever came to mind…

How to improve your company’s Twitter presence in the early days of social media. Health hacks to gain muscle quickly. Electronics that every life hacker should own.

And so much more.

And then, my content started being picked up and shared. People were reading and commenting from all over the world.

Many thousands of page views, and years, later I’m still here.

At a high-level, my blog is all about being successful — in your business and life. Whether that’s growth marketing hacks, strategies that most businesses miss, what I’ve learned building a 7-figure business… or even how to be healthier so you can live a more balanced, fulfilled life. I cover the entire “stack” of success.

Heck, I even created a sister site called Heartbreak Help for people going through a breakup. Vulnerability, authenticity, and healthy emotional coping are part of being successful.

Thanks so much for reading. I hope you enjoy.
