I wore a suite & spoke about my digital agency

️

As the owner of a digital marketing agency, I recently had the pleasure of attending an exciting event alongside the Productsup team, representing my agency called zamartz consulting. After being in the virtual space for the past two years, it was a bit nerve-wracking to get back into public speaking, but once I started, it felt like I hadn’t missed a beat.

During my talk, I had the opportunity to share my 10+ years of experience working with Productsup and how we have helped numerous clients improve their business processes through this powerful tool. Combining our expertise in digital marketing and eCommerce with this partnership has proven to be a winning combination.

I also delved into one of the hottest tech topics of today – “generative A.I.” I discussed some of our favorite tools in this field that have been incredibly useful for us:

AIPRM = Prompt Library You can find more information about this tool at: AIPRM Website
Zapier = Connector Discover how Zapier can integrate with ChatGPT and enhance your workflow: Zapier Integrations
Google = Document AI Assistant Explore the capabilities of Google’s Document AI Assistant in this blog post: Google Workspace Blog – Generative AI
Rainforest QA = AI Assertions Learn how to leverage AI Assertions with Rainforest QA: Rainforest QA – How to Use AI Assertions

I would love to hear from you about your favorite A.I. tools or any exciting ways you’re incorporating them into your daily work life. While some of the technology may still be in its early stages, we remain optimistic about the new opportunities these tools will create for digital marketing.

I want to give special thanks and recognition to Brad and CEO Vincent Peters from Productsup for their support and collaboration. I’d also like to mention Sherry Shi from TikTok for providing us with a sneak preview of TikTok Shop, which has great potential for marketers.

Feel free to share your thoughts or ask any questions in the comments section. I look forward to engaging with you!

Weekend lunch and snacks

Weekend lunch and snacks doesn’t have to be loud to feel like a small ceremony.

On the table, everything is simple and deliberate: toasted bread cut into thick slices; a soft, herbed cheese waiting like a quiet centerpiece; a small cup of mustard with a spoon that looks used exactly once; and, off to the side, little toasts layered with tomato, mozzarella, and basil. The colors do most of the talking.

It’s the kind of meal that feels borrowed from a slower world. Nothing is rushed. You build each bite in your hands, tasting what’s fresh, what’s salted, what’s still warm from the toast. The basil sits on top like a final thought. The tomatoes look like they were chosen carefully, not because they were perfect, but because they were ready.

I like lunches like this on the weekend because they leave room for the rest of the day. You can eat, pause, look out a window, and feel the hours open up again. It’s not a feast, not really. It’s more like a reminder that a few good ingredients, arranged with care, can make the ordinary feel bright and settled.

If there’s a secret here, it’s attention: to texture, to taste, to the quiet satisfaction of making something small and complete.

Ken let me stay at his apartment to order some takeout and play/watch the puppy he was sitting. The pups name is Connolly!

The summer starts!

Evenings like this always feel like the first real page of summer.

A small backyard turns into its own little world: warm water breaking into bubbles, patio lights glowing against the fence, leaves leaning in from above as if they’re listening. The air holds that early-summer softness—half heat, half promise—and everyone settles into it without needing to say much.

There’s a particular comfort in these ordinary celebrations. No big plan. No itinerary. Just friends gathered close, shoulders wet, voices rising and falling with the water’s churn. Somewhere nearby, the city keeps humming, but it feels distant—like it belongs to another life on the other side of the fence.

I like how moments like this make a place feel lived-in. Not staged, not polished. Just used in the best way. The patio becomes a memory machine: light, laughter, the smell of leaves at night, and that quiet realization that the season has finally shifted.

The summer starts, not with fireworks, but with a backyard and a little warmth you can sink into.

Sunday second brunch at The Richardson

| #boyfriendswhobrunch #brooklyn #brunch #richardson | ???

| Finally, I had the time and was in the right location to try the Richardson (@therichardsonnyc). I have to say the cocktails were pretty great and the sandwiches were better then I expected for bar food. The Richardson is your classic cocktail bar with a slight pub feel. They serve many drinks and have a larger selection of whiskey & bourbon; I had a vesper.

The layout of the bar is great to sit and people watch and the patio a a decent size. You can normally find a seat either inside or outside if you get there a bit early, but even at a peek time there is not much of a wait.

| I have to say I was pretty impressed with this holiday party. One of the best I have been to and I am not even employed by One Medical. I guess it was good luck to be a +1 at this event.

| A great weekend with my good friend Terry could only get better with a bit of happenstance at Harney & Sons.
Terry and I are big Star Trek fans and we were happily surprised to see Jean-Luc Picard (Sir Patrick Stewart) saying one of his more famous quotes, when ordering from the replicator;

Club Coffee Break

There’s a particular calm that settles in when you give yourself permission to pause.

Club Coffee Break wasn’t loud or rushed. It was the soft scrape of a chair, the steady cool of a marble tabletop, and the warm, textured weight of brick walls holding the room in place. A simple moment: sleeves rolled down, hands around a clear cup, ice shifting quietly as the straw leans off-center—like the day tilting into something gentler.

I like spaces like this because they feel lived alongside you. Not staged, not sterile. Just steady. The kind of corner where you can watch your thoughts move without needing to chase them. You sit for a minute and notice the small mechanics of being human: the way you grip the cup when you’re thinking, the way light lands on a patterned shirt, the way a break can feel like a reset.

Coffee, especially in the middle of an ordinary day, becomes less about caffeine and more about marking time. A small ritual that says: I’m here, and this is enough for now.

If you’ve been moving too fast lately, consider this your reminder to stop somewhere quiet, let the ice melt, and let the world keep spinning without you for a moment.
