A reluctant coffee snob helping nonprofits & mission driven businesses grow in the noisy age of AI.

Daniel Norris
HubSpot Solutions Partner - Communications Technology Specialist

Welcome, I was born in New Zealand, raised in Hawai‘i, became an adult in Australia, and now live and work back on the Big Island of Hawaii. I’m passionate about two things: coffee and clear communication.

I help nonprofits and mission-driven businesses amplify their message, streamline their systems, and scale their impact, all implemented on the #1 CRM, HubSpot. And of course all while drinking the best coffee possible.

DO YOU WANT TO 30X YOUR WEBSITE TRAFFIC?

This graph is real, and current, traffic from this exact website, fully built on HubSpot. It also features what has been back to back to back record months across Q4 of 2025. And I don't plan on slowing down. Shooting for 10k in January and as of the 19th I have smashed out a new record! I am not doing anything fancy. I am just consistently applying what I cover in this course. Including free tools, writing content people were searching for, and staying consistent. All in a way anyone can do without hiring the experts, without ever hiring me.

NEW GROWTH ACCELERATOR IS LIVE!

I am excited to share that I have recently published my first online training experience after years of training Christian faith-based nonprofits in person. While I have always believed in the power of in-person training, I now see the potential for online experiences to complement and enhance the work we do together. The program draws from over 20 years of nonprofit experience, and I hope it can contribute to the incredible work you are already doing.
