If we want to create positive change in the world, it will take strong ideas expressed with clarity and empathy. Forging a real connection with real people.

Today's media environment perverts this process. Everything we produce, consume, and share makes up the Digital Representation of You. Are you missing the mark by using the wrong language, Web clichés, or even unwittingly – putting people off in the way you present yourself? It's all in the nuances and we can only solve this together.

This project is a mix. It includes:

  • Posts and video episodes about speaking with clarity and empathy in media.

  • Audio episodes from my podcast about respectful, ethical media strategies.

  • Plus live performances, selected workshops, with early access and exclusive episodes.

Why subscribe?

Most posts are free to all. But subscribers get complete access to the newsletter and the full archive.

Why charge a cover? I want this to be an actual community of people who really want to be here. Otherwise it's just spraying this all over social to no one who wants to hear from me. Or filling someone’s inbox with stuff they don’t want. That sucks. I'm tired of that dynamic and I'll bet you are too. Be here because you want to be. And I'll be here for you.

Social isn't connecting us, it's pushing us apart. It might be counterintuitive, but a tiny payment is a signal that you are committed to being a part of this. And I'll underscore if it's not obvious: I made it as cheap as I could ($5/mo here or $1/mo on Patreon) so that it's not a real impediment. People can offer more in support (thank you!), but I wanted this project to have a different flavor. I give away any of my paid courses away for free to anyone who asks – I'm not about building walls. Communities makes commitments to one another, social bonds start with mutual support.
