David Van Beekum’s Blueprint for Personalized Advertising in the Digital Age
Have you ever sat in a restaurant and thought, “This TV could be showing me something I actually care about”? That spark of curiosity ignited a revolution for David Van Beekum, and on our latest Catalytic Leadership episode, he shares his journey from childhood tinkerer to the co-founder of Tweva. It’s a story of innovation born from the everyday, where the melding of past passions and present technologies leads to groundbreaking solutions for small businesses and influencers alike.
Imagine walking into your favorite local shop and being greeted not just by familiar faces, but by a TV screen showcasing content tailored specifically to your interests. This episode explores the future of dynamic TV advertising and how it’s set to transform customer engagement in small businesses. We examine the parallels between the evolution of tech marvels like automobiles and the stagnant world of TV ads, unveiling how Dave’s Tweva is paving the way for personalized marketing experiences in communal spaces.
But it’s not all tech talk; we also delve into the heart and hustle behind catalytic leadership. Dave opens up about the challenges of nurturing both a startup and a family, and the crucial role of mentorship and lifelong learning in navigating the entrepreneurial landscape. We wrap up with insights on personal growth and the principles that have guided my own coaching journey. Tune in for an episode that’s as much about leadership and personal connection as it is about the technological wave set to hit small business marketing.

2 Quotes That Grabbed My Attention
Leaders need to be willing to bury a dead program, policy, or procedure that’s holding people back. As Peter Drucker said, “the corpse doesn’t smell any better the longer you keep it around.”
“Humility is essential to leadership. If you’re not a humble leader, you’re not a teachable and growing leader.” – Ed Bastian
1 Resource That You Might Find Helpful
Last year, I switched CRMs. This was not a quick process, nor one I took lightly. But the CRM I switched to took the place of almost a dozen other providers, saving me nearly $200 each month. That’s almost $2400 per year!
The CRM I switched to? High Level.
Now, inside one integrated SaaS solution, I have all of my booking calendars, email list, marketing tools, website, landing pages, funnels, and a ton more. No more need to hope the calendar integration works with the CRM, or that the landing pages integrate with the email list correctly. I’ve been a customer of High Level now for 8 months, and I’m a big fan.
If you’re interested in taking a look, they’re offering a free trial period so you can check it out. Just go to this link. (That is an affiliate link, for which I earn a referral fee if you become a High Level user.)

Has this year been different so far from last year? Or more of the same? Are you breaking old habits and sticking with new ones?
How can you get out of your own way and take steps to become the leader that your team and your company need you to be? It’s not just going to happen. It takes intentionality. And that’s where coaching comes in.
As an Executive Coach specializing in Mindset and Leadership, I work with entrepreneurs, founders, executives, and C-suite leaders who want to become catalytic in their leadership. Through 1:1 coaching, my clients move from where they are (stuck) to where they want to be.
For May, I currently have availability to take on 2 new clients. I don’t accept every person who approaches me about coaching; in fact, I turn down those who I believe are not ready or a good fit for what I do. If you’d like to explore whether Executive Coaching is your next step toward the impact you want to make, let’s talk. No hard sales pitch. If it’s not right for both of us, I’ll tell you so. My goal is to help leaders get out of their own way, stop breaking their own businesses and teams, and move into being catalytic in their impact and their legacy. If you’re ready, book a time for us to talk.
