Made a collab with Rafael Espinoza. He doesn't need much of an introduction, reigning WBO featherweight world champion, known for the kind of one-punch power that ends fights out of nowhere.
Put together a piece spotlighting his rise to the title, and the numbers came in strong across views and engagement.
The kind of project that reminds you why this sport never gets old!
The editorial framing gives the collaboration real momentum—the belt reveal and bold headline make the achievement feel instantly legible. Nice balance of athlete story and campaign-ready impact.

CASE STUDY: Cold Outreach - How I Handle a "Not Interested"
Most freelancers panic when a brand says "Not interested." I don't.
Here's the exact 3-step framework I used when a 30K+ SaaS brand said No twice:
Step 1 - Initial Pitch: Spotted a retargeting gap in their Meta Ads (prospecting without retargeting for site visitors). Pitched lean.
Step 2 - Value Follow-up: When they said No, I didn't push. Offered a 2-min Loom walking through the gap + 1 strategy fix they could run without me. No pitch attached.
Step 3 - Professional Close: When they said No again, I closed the loop respectfully: "Totally understand - I'll close the loop here. If things change, I'm here. Wishing you success."
Result: They replied "Appreciate it, and wishing you all the best too 🧡" - door left open for future. No burn, no desperation.
Lesson: On Contra and Instagram, how you handle a No matters more than how you pitch a Yes. Professional close > pushy follow-up.
I build the same systems for coaches and DTC brands: Meta retargeting, GoHighLevel automations, and follow-ups that close without being pushy.
Most people only post wins, so a case study on handling "not interested" is a refreshing angle. Which follow-up line gets you the most replies after a no?
A POV nostalgia reel I created for my faceless account, Pop Culture Nostalgia: alarm clock, posters on the wall, the walk to the Halloween store and the candy aisle.
Every shot is AI-generated and art directed to feel like a still from an early 2000s teen movie: 35mm film look, warm golden undertone, hands-only POV, no faces.
Posting it on October 29 is a nice touch. Hands-only POV is a smart call too; it keeps you inside the memory and avoids the face consistency problem that usually gives an AI sequence away.
