The Story

Joseph Lee Lavery — Joe Lee for short.

I've Been Building
Since Before AI.

Started in direct response marketing over 20 years ago — when split-testing meant spreadsheets and gut instinct. Built CartFreak in 2008 and pioneered one-click upsells before the platforms knew what they were. Russell Brunson put it in Expert Secrets.

I've built membership platforms, email systems, checkout tools, Chrome extensions, desktop apps, AI dictation software, and a full production-grade livestreaming system from scratch. Not because I had to. Because I wanted to understand every layer.

Now I'm building Modern Creator Network — for people done renting tools and ready to own their stack. Doing it live, on camera, every week.
