Investing in a website that is not optimized for conversions is like pouring water into a leaky bucket with a hole in it. You are likely spending thousands of dollars on your digital marketing efforts, all to have your website not properly optimized to convert that traffic into buyers. Acquiring traffic is becoming increasingly expensive and competitive every single day. With the increased cost of customer acquisition, it’s crucial that your brand converts as many visitors into buyers as possible. That’s where ThrillX comes in.

Life Is Too Short To Struggle To Get Clients.   Feeling frustrated? I’ve been there. You shouldn’t have to waste your life figuring it all out on your own. You were designed for more and you know it. You deserve a simple plan that works. Success is simpler than you think. – Jermane   https://creatorslearn.com/ 

After spending the last decade leading engagements with outstanding studios like Deloitte Digital and SpireDigital, and then moving into the startup world with groups like HumanCode and Helix, I’m thrilled to again be returning to my roots of independent product and creative consulting. Focusing on brand strategy and creation, digital product and design engagements.

I'm a Gen Z entrepreneur, Wall Street Journal Best Selling author, and 4x startup founder with a distinct focus on driving social impact through business and technology. Starting off as the co-founder behind a range of startups including Audo, Nota, The Doe, and Guin Records, I soon realized the need for a unified platform to nurture these socially conscious projects. This led me to establish Ankord Labs, a venture studio designed to incubate my own startups as well as future conscious companies. Ankord Labs serves as the epicenter of my diverse portfolio, incubating transformative startups that leverage cutting-edge technologies for societal betterment. Based in Los Angeles, I also contribute to renowned publications such as Forbes, Entrepreneur, HuffPost, and Rolling Stone. My WSJ best-selling book, "I'm Just Saying," focuses on the importance of civil discourse in today's divided society. My mission is to cultivate conscious capitalism and collaborative consensus to drive society forward. My work, from co-founder to mentor and writer, are all focused on empowering others to use business and technology for social good. Milankordestani.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/milan-kordestani/
