I help creatives build their lives and livelihoods around their biggest and boldest ideas, in a world that wants them to do the opposite.
HERE’S HOW
In this era of constant distraction and upheaval, discord, fear, and the arrival of AI, creative industry is more important than ever. And yet, our systems primarily reward cultural contributors in ways that directly contradict the very spirit and intent of the work itself.
Art for humans, made by humans, and in all its forms, is communion–proof of our existence, both unique to the individual, and whole to history.
I collaborate, one-on-one and in groups, with creatives at any and every point in their development. Through guided conversations and collaborative work, I help my partners drive to the essence of their creative goals and personal values (they’re connected!), to then actively apply their intentions to living the shape of a life they want.
I help readers push beyond the status quo, and into the opportunities of a new era, through discussions on optimism, leadership, curiosity and creativity.
HERE’S HOW
Through two newsletter publications and a monthly local advice column, I mostly write about problem solving. We live in a time of unparalleled complexity, not a small percentage of which is due to the extreme information overwhelm perpetrated by the sentries of late-stage capitalism.
In other, fewer words… we’re caught up in it. And the few with the power to hold our heads underwater are counting on us to stop flailing and comply already.
I think, know, and write about how we can do things differently.
