A Community for Marketing Freelancers & Consultants
Level up your business and connect with industry peers.
Mindshare is a private community for independent marketers building a deeply meaningful and highly profitable marketing practice.
I just wanted to say thank you for your guidance and continued emphasis on positioning as a strategic advisor and all that goes into that. I had a sales call this morning and it was the most confident I’ve been on one of these calls in explaining what value I offer.

Mindshare has already done so much for in the little time that I have joined in regards to getting me to think about my business differently in order for me to grow my revenue.
Kevin’s content is very relevant in helping me grow my business while keeping true to being a one-woman show. He is highly attentive (gets back to me within the same day with a podcast), highly transparent with his advice and business, and highly knowledgable in all areas of marketing. If you’re a marketing consultant I highly suggest working with Kevin and joining one of is his mentorship programs.
