You know what I love most about what I do? It’s helping entrepreneurs get to work with clients who really get it. People who don’t waste time negotiating every little detail, who appreciate the quality and are happy to invest in a great experience.

Most entrepreneurs actually know their stuff super well, but they’re often stuck working with clients who just don’t match that level. My role is showing them how to shift their brand and messaging, so they naturally attract high-end, luxury-level clients. Read More>>

Ruby And The Thorns

We would have to say that our band, Ruby and the Thorns, has a very strong community following. We engage with our supporters regularly and make them feel like they are part of the ride we are on. We have had so many young people say that they want to be in a band and that we are their inspiration and that feels pretty awesome. We hope to be a positive inspiration to young people. To show them that it’s still fun to get in to a studio or a garage and jam on instruments with friends. That there’s more to life than just sitting in front of a screen. Read More>>

Plenty of people dream of writing a novel when they’re young, but it’s not practical. They have to get careers that financially support themselves and their families. So they veer off into traditional professions, but that itchy feeling they missed out persists. My online series of videos allows them to try the dream with no risk. It’s not the financial burden of an MFA or taking time off from work to get a novel written.  Read More>>
