Taylor Stensrud shared thishttps://lnkd.in/dMhYprRZTaylor Stensrud shared thisTaylor Stensrud is a recovered alcoholic who found Dogs Matter when he needed it most. After falling in love with their mission, he began volunteering with the nonprofit and is now responsible for their marketing, fostering operations, and working with their recovery clients and treatment centers. Stensrud said North Texas Giving Day is important for nonprofits like Dogs Matter because it raises awareness and serves as a platform to share their missions that speak to people. This year the nonprofit's goal of $30,000 will help offset vet care for each animal, their largest ongoing expense.

In the piece, I share who has shaped the way I lead (spoiler...my dad), how trust gets built inside a company, and what real leadership actually looks like day to day. It is not about titles. It is not about being the loudest voice in the room. It is about showing up consistently, doing the work, and investing in the people around you. Grateful for the recognition and even more grateful for the people who made me who I am. Pick up the latest issue of Plano City Lifestyle and let me know what you think.

Taylor Stensrud liked thisTaylor Stensrud liked thisSomething special is coming, and I couldn't be more excited to share it with you. 🐾 I'm proud to announce an upcoming event that brings together two communities I am deeply passionate about — animal welfare and human welfare — in one shared space, for one shared purpose. The theme is one I know intimately: the journey of recovery, and the extraordinary power of the animals who walk it with us. Recovery is a journey, not a destination. And the human-animal bond is one of its most underrated companions along the way. The Tails of Triumph event is a celebration of that bond. A room full of advocates, healers, caretakers, and community builders who understand that the well-being of people and the well-being of animals are deeply, beautifully connected. If this speaks to you, whether you're part of the animal welfare world, the human welfare world, or simply someone who believes in the healing power of that connection, this evening is for you. Join Dogs Matter on June 11th at Vouv Meeting and Event Space. To the animal welfare community and the human welfare community — you belong together, and I can't wait to be in the room with all of you. Purchase your ticket today or gift one to someone in recovery. https://lnkd.in/g6B2fAbA #CommunityEvent #AnimalWelfare #HumanWelfare #Recovery #HealingTogether #ThePowerOfPets #HumanAnimalBond #Advocacy #JoinUs

No, it isn't, you just need the right approach: So many founders post randomly and run out of steam in weeks. A strong brand can change the trajectory of your business. But only if you have a strategy to scale it properly. I recorded a 19-minute guide to prepare you for all the recent updates 👇 https://lnkd.in/gQFQcRza Watch the video to get up to date. Then follow these steps: (See cheat sheet for the full breakdown) 1. Your North Star Your personal brand needs one clear North Star for the next 90 days. Ask yourself: What does success genuinely look like 12 weeks from now? 2. The Positioning Triangle Personal brands win when three things overlap: 1. Your expertise 2. A painful market problem 3. Your point of view 3. The Audience Clarity Map There are only 3 groups you need to speak to: - Buyers: The people who will pay you - Aspirational followers: The people who amplify you - Learners: Early-stage, curious, watching quietly 4. The Content OS This is how I structure every content system I build: 1. Teach – frameworks, tactics, step-by-step 2. Think – opinions, observations, contrarian takes 3. Build – behind-the-scenes, lessons, mistakes 4. Sell – results, stories, clear offers 5. The Attention Engine Consistency in personal brand requires a weekly execution system. 1. Idea Sourcing (60 minutes) 2. Batch Writing (2 hours) 3. Daily Engagement (15–20 minutes) 4. End-of-Week Review (20 minutes) 6. The Trust Ladder Framework People buy from you because you’ve earned their trust based on: 1. Awareness 2. Relevance 3. Authority 4. Proof 5. Action 7. The Content Feedback Loop Your audience will always tell you what to create next. Each week, analyse: - Your highest-performing post - Your lowest-performing post - Which topic resonated the most - Which format could be repeated 8. The 3-Level Personal Brand Funnel A strong personal brand is built to sell. Your funnel should follow: 1. Top of Funnel: Content geared towards reach 2. Middle of Funnel: Deeper education (cheat sheets, carousels, etc) 3. Bottom of Funnel: Proof and clear transformations 9. The Growth Scorecard You only need 5 metrics to know if your brand is working: - Number of views - Follower growth - Engagement rate - Inbound leads - Newsletter signups Your personal brand is either your biggest asset or a complete time drain. The difference is the strategy you use to manage it. What part of your personal brand are you struggling with the most? Drop a comment below with your thoughts. If it's the LinkedIn algorithm throwing you off, that's an easy fix. My recent video is less than 20 minutes should clear up your concerns: https://lnkd.in/gQFQcRza ♻️ Repost to share this system with your network. And follow Chris Donnelly for more on building your brand.

Taylor Stensrud liked thisTaylor Stensrud liked thisI’m proud to share that I’ve accepted an Inside Sales role at Exact Sciences, where I’ll be supporting the expansion of our diagnostic portfolio — including the CancerGuard™ test, a groundbreaking blood-based screening capable of detecting over 50 types of cancer at very early stages, including myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). This role is deeply personal and represents a true full-circle moment for me. About a year after my brother Blair passed away from MDS, I made the decision to transition from veterinary medicine into human oncology, with the goal of helping patients like him through earlier detection and improved outcomes. I made a promise to my brother that I would dedicate my career to this work, and I’m proud to be keeping that promise. Being part of work that has the potential to change the trajectory of disease for patients and families is incredibly meaningful to me. I’m honored, grateful, and excited for this next chapter — and for the opportunity to continue turning purpose into impact.

Taylor Stensrud liked thisTaylor Stensrud liked thisI just bought a truck today. My co-pilot? An AI agent. Let me explain. Yesterday I sat down with Claude Cowork and said: "I need a sales truck for my tree care business. Help me find the best one." Here's what happened over the next 24 hours: Step 1 — Research at scale. Claude helped me browse and compile the top 20 trucks available that matched my specifications. Instead of spending hours bouncing between dealer sites and spreadsheets, we had a comprehensive list ready to evaluate. Step 2 — Custom scoring model. We didn't just eyeball it. We built a custom scoring model together, weighting the factors that actually mattered to me — condition, mileage, price, features, value. The trucks ranked themselves. The best options floated to the top. Step 3 — Negotiation with AI in my pocket. This is where it got interesting. I walked into the dealership with Claude literally sitting right next to me. As the sales guy threw out numbers, I was running them by Claude in real time. Purchase price. Extended warranty options. Interest rate percentages. Finance manager add-ons. Every number got checked, every offer got evaluated on the spot. The result? We worked our way into a great deal. I walked out confident I didn't leave money on the table. 20 years in tech product management taught me to use every tool at my disposal. Now running Joshua Tree Experts, I'm bringing that same mindset to every part of the business — including buying the truck my team will use every day. Couldn't have done it without you, Claude. 🤝 #AI #AIagent #TruckBuying #SmallBusiness #Entrepreneurship #TreeCare #Anthropic #Claude #ISAArborist #JoshuaTreeExperts #WorkSmarter #NegotiationTips

Taylor Stensrud liked thisTaylor Stensrud liked thisFunny moment from the Dallas Meetup tonight… I realized halfway through the event that I didn’t have a good place to put other people’s business cards. 😅 No jacket, no blazer, no inside pocket — just a Joshua Tree Experts - Collin County, TX polo and nice "work pants." And let me tell you, awkwardly stuffing business cards into your front pants pocket mid-conversation is not the best look. It hit me how different it feels going to a networking event as a blue-collar business owner versus my past life as a white-collar product guy. Before: I’d show up in a tailored jacket, armed with a deck of buzzwords and a crisp pocket for cards. Now: I show up with calloused hands, a logo on my shirt, and conversations that are a lot more real. Instead of pitching some abstract product or digital service, I’m talking about how we can literally grow each other’s companies — one tree, one partnership, one handshake at a time. 🌳🤝 Different wardrobe. Same drive to connect, help, and build something lasting.

Taylor Stensrud liked thisTaylor Stensrud liked thisSo I spent my birthday at the shelter… and this happened. 💛 A woman was walking around, and a dog caught her eye. It was her first time at a shelter, and with hundreds of dogs and cats around, she didn’t know where to start. I had a choice: take photos or help facilitate a meet and greet. I chose to help facilitate the meet and greet. We spent over 20 minutes in the yard, getting to know each other and talking about what adopting an older shelter dog really means. We discussed how to set them up for success, fostering-to-adopt options, and more. By the end, she felt ready. Sammy, who had been at the shelter for weeks, walked right out the door into a home! I gave her my number so she’d have someone to call if she needed support. She later told me Sammy is settling in beautifully. Saving a life, or achieving meaningful results, truly takes a village.

ARCH Revenues
The 4-Step Revenue Growth System for Agencies Most agencies don’t struggle with talent. They struggle with predictable revenue. Referrals come in waves. Inbound is inconsistent. Some months feel great. Other months feel uncertain. The agencies that grow steadily usually build four things: 1. Clear ICP Know exactly who you serve. The more specific the customer, the easier it becomes to attract them. 2. A compelling offer Not “web design services.” A clear outcome for a specific problem. 3. Structured outbound Waiting for leads creates volatility. Targeted outreach creates conversations. 4. Consistent follow-up Most deals are not lost in the first conversation. They’re lost because no one followed up properly. When these four pieces exist, revenue stops feeling chaotic. It becomes designed. #ArchRevenues #AgencyGrowth #OutboundSystems #PredictableRevenue #WebDesignAgency #B2BOutreach

Branding Texas Agency
SEO should be viewed as a long-term digital asset rather than a short-term marketing tactic. For Texas businesses, consistent search engine optimization can help improve organic visibility, build authority, attract high-intent prospects, and support sustainable lead generation. AEO can further strengthen visibility as customers increasingly use AI-powered tools to find information and service providers. #SearchEngineOptimization #SEO #AEO #TexasBusiness #DigitalMarketing https://bit.ly/4pINGof https://bit.ly/4yEllCL
