Finance media founder.

Obsessed with attention and distribution.

Dear Friend,

I love talking business, marketing, growth, and finding creative ways to get real attention on great companies. We can also debate LeBron vs. Jordan, talk about how much we miss 90s alternative and hip hop, or argue over whether The Wire or Breaking Bad was better.

Sincerely,

Dear Friend,

About Me

I build media brands and marketing systems that move markets.

Over the past decade, I've started and scaled businesses across real estate, finance media, and digital marketing — always at the intersection of storytelling, distribution, and data. Right now, most of my energy goes into Stock Sharks, a finance media platform I built from zero to 2M+ combined reach across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Threads.

I think about attention the way most people think about inventory: where to find it, how to acquire it efficiently, and what to do with it once you have it.

Experience

Stock Sharks

Canada & USA • 2021 - Present

Founder & Marketing Lead

Built a finance media platform from scratch to 2M+ combined audience across six platforms. 74 million views in a single month. Produce daily content — long-form research, short-form video, newsletters — covering public equities, market narratives, and emerging sectors. Work directly with publicly traded companies to design and execute media coverage campaigns that put underfollowed stories in front of engaged retail investors. It's pretty fun.

Aleena Homes

Canada & USA • 2013 - Present

Founder & Developer

Acquire, renovate, and develop residential properties across Canadian and U.S. markets. Handle the full cycle — sourcing, design, project management, and disposition. Built the brand's visual identity and marketing pipeline from the ground up, using content and targeted outreach to generate consistent deal flow without relying on traditional brokerage channels. I do not find it very fun, but I have been doing it for a long time and I have gotten pretty good at it.

Sheraz Ali Group

Canada • 2013 - 2024

Founder & Sales Lead

Ran a high-volume residential real estate practice for over a decade. Built the business on direct client acquisition, negotiation, and repeat referral. Closed hundreds of transactions. Transitioned out of active sales to focus on media, marketing consulting, and building systems that scale beyond one person's capacity. I never really enjoyed the sales side of real estate. But over time, I learned a lot about homes, renovations, neighborhoods, pricing, and what people actually want. It also gave me valuable relationships and access that helped me build other businesses in related industries.

Education

Independent Education & Applied Learning • 2010 - Present

Business, Marketing & Financial Markets

Pursued a self-directed path focused on real-world application, studying business, marketing, and financial markets through consistent daily learning. Read 80+ books annually and maintain a disciplined routine of podcasts and market analysis, applying insights directly to business building, audience growth, and investment strategies across multiple ventures.

Scale

Distribution Design

Most brands publish and hope. I build the distribution system behind what gets seen — the formats, the timing, the platform-specific logic, the feedback loops that tell you what's working and why. That system is how you go from posting to reaching 74 million views in a month.

Design & Conversion

Every touchpoint your company has is either moving someone closer to a decision or losing them. I map the full journey — website, email, ads, landing pages — and tighten each step until the data confirms it's working.

Production & Distribution

Content without a distribution plan is a hobby. I develop the editorial calendar, the video concepts, the scripting frameworks, and the release cadence — all designed so each piece pulls its weight across platforms. The goal is a body of work that builds on itself, not a feed full of one-offs.

Influencer & Partnership Campaigns

I identify, vet, and coordinate the right voices to amplify your brand — not the biggest names, the right names. Every partnership is measured against real engagement, real audience overlap, and real return.

Paid Media & Budget Strategy

I work within the marketing budget you already have and make it perform like it's three times the size. Platform selection, creative testing, audience segmentation, retargeting — all executed with the precision of someone who treats your money like their own.

Communications & Agency Coordination

Most companies have a marketing team saying one thing, a PR firm saying another, and an IR team somewhere in between. I sit in the middle and align all of it — messaging, timing, tone — so the outside world hears one coherent story instead of three competing ones.

Alignment

Apply & Discovery

You book a call. We talk about your company, your market, your current marketing spend, what's working, what's bleeding money, and what the real goals are. Not vanity metrics — real outcomes. If we're a fit, I send a proposal within 48 hours.

Strategy & Integration

I build your full marketing architecture — channels, funnels, content strategy, paid media plan, influencer map, and IR coordination. Then I integrate with your team. I'm in your Slack. I'm on your calls. I'm at your office once a month. I'm not a consultant watching from the sideline — I'm your marketing department.

Execute & Optimize

We launch. I manage the budget, run the campaigns, coordinate with any external partners, and optimize every single week based on real data. You don't wonder where your marketing dollars went. You watch them work.
