When a tech geek
and a content creator meet
One of us was chasing reach on Instagram and losing touch with his voice.
The other was quietly building systems to understand beauty, meaning, and creative resonance.
We met across a time zone and a shared frustration: content was getting louder, but not deeper.
We combined our strengths — real creator experience and deep technical analysis — to build a new kind of tool.
One that doesn’t just track what performs, but understands why it matters.
Grassfed Social was born to help creators stay true while growing loud.
The Leap Toward Freedom
When I bet on myself
In 2020, at the height of COVID, I walked away from the comfort of a W2 and dove headfirst into Web3 philanthropy. No safety net—just conviction, and the willingness to lead through chaos.
That leap rewired something permanent. I’ve since built four early-stage startups and my own consulting firm. The tension between security and sovereignty is real—especially now, as I prepare to become a father. But I know this: my daughter will never see a version of me that played small.
The Builder’s Itch
When structure became my medium
After the plunge into Web3, I realized my true skill wasn’t just launching—it was engineering clarity out of chaos. I started seeing every company as a system to be tuned, every business as a puzzle of incentives, flows, and meaning.
So I leaned in. I built frameworks. I built teams. I became the person who could see the whole board. And somewhere along the way, I stopped needing someone else’s mission—I was finally shaping my own.
The Identity Spiral
When AI accelerated everything but me
As AI exploded into the mainstream, I was already deep in it—prompt engineering, deploying LLMs, building systems to automate what once felt sacred: insight, expression, creativity. I helped companies scale faster, think smarter, move leaner.
But somewhere in that acceleration, I got blurry. If machines could do what I do, what was left of me? I wasn’t afraid of being replaced—I was afraid of being irrelevant. I needed to re-center, not as an innovator, but as a human. A thinker. A father. A maker of meaning.
The Return to Meaning
When I started building for the soul again
Out of the burnout came clarity. I didn’t want to win the game—I wanted to change it. So I built Grassfed Social: the first platform that doesn’t just track metrics, but helps creators reconnect with what makes their work theirs.
It’s part analytics tool, part mirror. For the creator who wants to grow and stay original. For the part of me that still believes the internet can be human. I’m building slowly, soulfully, with the same care I now bring to fatherhood. Not everything should scale fast. Some things should grow deep.
👨💻 Ted - The Systems Thinker
🎨 Frankee - The Soul in the Scroll
The Climb Begins
When everything changed
Frankee was 25 when doctors found a tumor in his lung. It shook everything. So he stopped dreaming and started moving.
He walked into a motorcycle shop and rode out with a Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled. No backup plan. Just a bike, a camera, and the will to make life feel real again.
The Pull of Performance
When success felt hollow
The algorithm rewarded short, sharp, optimized content. Frankee played the game perfectly and the numbers exploded.
But with each viral hit, something fundamental shifted. He was visible to more people than ever before, but had never felt more unseen.
The Creative Crash
The breaking point
Every post felt like a performance scripted by an invisible audience. Every idea was filtered through "Will this perform well?" rather than "Does this matter?"
So he paused. And called his friend Ted, who was building a tool that measured something else entirely: authenticity, meaning, creative fulfillment.
The Return to Voice
Building something different
Together, they created something unprecedented: a platform that measures creative authenticity alongside traditional metrics.
For creators who refuse to choose between growing their audience and staying true to themselves. Because the best content isn't just seen - it's felt.
