Saint MGMT turns 10 this month. 🎂

And the biggest challenge I've seen over those 10 years? Still the same one.

"I just need a website." 😵‍💫

It's never just the website.

I finally wrote the case study — real data, no client names, and the exact pattern that plays out when ex*****on runs ahead of strategy.

If you've ever said those five words, this one's for you.

Ten years in and I still haven’t gotten enough of this. 🖤

Saint MGMT is officially a decade old and clearly we don’t know how to stop.

When you've spent over two decades shaping Richmond's bar culture — building institutions like Pasture and Perch, founding Salt & Acid, leading the Richmond chapter of the USBG — the work speaks for itself.

The next challenge is a brand that can keep up.
Beth Dixon, founder of Salt & Acid (cocktail catering, bartending education, and beverage consulting out of Studio One Twenty on Brookland Park Blvd.) and President of the Richmond USBG chapter, is exactly the kind of builder we exist to support.

We're honored to step in as her Fractional CMO partner.
Welcome to the family. 🖤

The problem was never passion. It was the foundation.

That's what we kept seeing — business owners who were excellent at their craft with no way to communicate it. That gap is exactly why The Brand Blueprint exists.

If your brand is ready for a real starting point, book a discovery call. Link in bio.

May almost got away from us. 🗓️

The May MGMT Memo is out — and this one's worth opening.
We're covering what AI is actually saying about your brand when someone searches for you (spoiler: it might not be what you think), a new client we're excited to be working with, a talk we gave at AMA Richmond about going all in on your business, and a free resource for anyone figuring out solopreneurship.

We're almost halfway through 2026. If your brand strategy still isn't where you want it — this is a good time to get honest about that.

Subscribe at the link below and catch up on everything in the May issue. 👇

Tuesday, Susan Jensen and I stood in front of a room of people who are seriously considering going out on their own — and told them the truth about what year one actually looks like.

Not the version that sounds good in a bio.

The version where you second-guess the rates you set, question whether you're charging too much or too little, wonder if the quiet periods mean something is wrong — and slowly realize the uncertainty doesn't go away. You just get better at working inside it.

That's what "Going All In" was about.

A few things I kept coming back to:

→ The business doesn't fail because of the market. It fails because of the decisions you make when no one's watching and there's no manager to escalate to.

→ Year one isn't about getting it right. It's about building the tolerance to keep going while you figure it out.

→ Your instincts aren't the problem. Your infrastructure usually is.

Thank you to AMA Richmond for hosting, to everyone who showed up and asked real questions — and to Susan for being the kind of collaborator who makes a room feel safe enough to be honest in.

If you were in the room, I'd love to know what landed for you.

Almost a decade of building Saint MGMT on the side before I finally went all in.

And honestly? I still wasn't sure I was ready when I did it.

This Tuesday, Susan Jensen and I are presenting at an AMA Richmond educational session to talk about what that first year actually feels like. Not the polished version. The real one — the doubt, the freedom, the decisions you have to make when there's no playbook and it's all on you.

We came to solopreneurship from completely different places.

She started from scratch. I spent years building in the margins before I could fully commit. Two different roads — but a lot of the same feelings once we got here.

If any part of that sounds familiar, come through.

Quick question for the founders and business owners in here: when did you last sit down and look at your marketing with fresh eyes — not just "what are we posting this week" but the full picture?

If the answer made you a little uncomfortable, this one's for you.
I just published a new post on exactly what a Fractional CMO is, why the corporate layoff wave created the perfect opening for businesses like yours, and what working together actually looks like from day one through day 90.

No fluff, no fake case studies — just a real breakdown of how senior marketing leadership works without the $450K price tag.
Read it and let me know in the comments: what's the biggest gap in your marketing right now? I read every reply.
