ABOUT THE FOUNDER
My Story
From E-Commerce Prodigy to Growth Architect
My entrepreneurial journey started early. As a teenager, when most people my age were still figuring out what they wanted to do, I was scaling Shopify stores, testing digital business models, and building multi–six-figure e-commerce brands.
That experience became my training ground, teaching me how to structure offers that convert, analyze data that actually matters, and engineer systems that scale predictably.
Over time, I began sharing what I was learning, through interviews, articles, and my podcast, The Future Leaders Podcast, where I sit down with entrepreneurs to talk about growth, discipline, and what it really takes to build something sustainable.
I was born and raised in New York City in a middle-class family that encouraged curiosity, independence, and an unreasonable belief that you can build anything if you’re willing to learn fast and work hard. That mindset shaped everything I do today — and ultimately led to the creation of Slim Advertising.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Why I Built Slim Advertising
After stepping into the medical marketing space, I quickly identified a major gap:
Most agencies focused on leads, not patients.
Clinics were being sent hundreds of low-intent form fills, yet only a handful ever converted into paying clients. It wasn’t a lead problem. It was a conversion problem.
What good are 200 leads if only five ever pay?
Slim Advertising was created to solve this exact issue.
Instead of traditional “lead generation,” we focus on delivering financially qualified, ready-to-book patients using a combination of performance ads, strategic messaging, automated systems, and compliance-safe frameworks.
Everything from the funnels to the follow-ups is engineered to maximize conversions while staying fully aligned with HIPAA, FTC guidelines, and medical advertising ethics.
Hundreds of low-intent leads who never answer the phone
Generic ads and broad targeting that attract unqualified prospects
No financial screening, causing clinics to waste hours on people who can’t afford treatment
Manual follow-up that burns staff time and creates inconsistent conversions
Financially qualified, ready-to-book patients — not just “leads”
Performance-driven ads crafted specifically for medical buyers
Automated follow-up systems that nurture and convert without draining your team
Messaging frameworks proven to increase show-up and close rates
Full compliance alignment with HIPAA, FTC, and medical advertising rules
