The roast
Dean claims to turn complexity into clarity, yet his LinkedIn is just an expensive word salad masking the fact that he’s a Fractional CMO who spends more time summiting Kilimanjaro than he does helping his clients summit their quarterly revenue goals. He lists "FP&A Expert" alongside a 1.23% engagement rate—the only thing he’s successfully scaled is the distance between his content and a single human being who cares.

Number one bestseller?! Me?? Oh my! 🚀 🙌 🙌 💫 Seasons of Soul hitting NUMBER ONE on Amazon is something that I am still wrapping my head around. This one’s for every leader who picked up a copy, shared it with someone, or just cheered along from the sidelines. I wrote it for the leaders who are in the thick of it. The ones trying to figure out how work, family, and community actually fit together without losing themselves in the process. Apparently, that resonated. THANK YOU. From the bottom of my heart 💛 #bestseller #leadership #GRATEFUL 🙌

The entire 1987 Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team ended up in our basement. That spring, the Leafs drafted an 18-year-old defenceman 7th overall, Luke Richardson. A few weeks later, he moved in with us. We billeted him for his rookie season. So for one year, I was a 13-year-old triple-A hockey player playing road hockey in our driveway against actual NHL players. They came to family events. They hung out in our basement. To me, it somehow became normal life. But deep down, I knew I was the luckiest kid in the city. One night, half the team was downstairs for Luke's surprise 19th birthday.
