What I'm Doing Now
Unlike my About page, which gives you my background, this is my Now page, inspired by Derek Sivers, highlighting what I'm working on, looking for, and interested in right now.
Updated October 10th, 2020.
What I'm Working On
- I'm writing my daily marketing emails to my list of subscribers. They usually end up on my blog. To get a taste, visit my latest posts.
- I'm currently working with 13 clients, comprised of ongoing advisory relationships, and smaller, one-off projects. Some clients include:
- Beauty business expert and lace wig maven Marquetta Breslin.
- Chiropractor-turned-social-media-superstar Dr. Matt Loop.
- Weightloss coach, trainer, and LGBTQ+ activist Sophie Smith.
- Actor, producer, and Murder Mystery theater mogul Pete Dillon.
- I'm an avid reader and currently finishing up Your Next Five Moves by Patrick Bet-David. Next is Book Yourself Solid by Michael Port, which I bought after a recommendation from Jonathan Stark.
- I'm subscribed to a ton of podcasts, including The Business of Authority with Rochelle Moulton and Jonathan Stark; The 2 Bobs with Blair Enns and David C. Baker; and Offline Podcast with Philip Morgan and Liston Witherill.
What I'm Looking For
I’m open to considering more opportunities for:
- Public speaking at conferences or corporate events.
- Being a guest on your podcast, show, or livestream.
- Paid coaching and consulting engagements.
- One-time, paid coaching calls to give you a quick win.
- Being a guest lecturer at your school, college, or university.
If you’re interested in contacting me about any of these opportunities, just shoot me an email at [email protected] or use this online form.
What I'm Not Looking For
Unfortunately, my schedule is packed. I'd love to help out, but there are certain things I will refuse and ask that you refrain from contacting me for, including:
- Free advice or pro bono work.*
- Speculative or contingency work of any kind.
- Writing for your publication or blog.
- Partnership or joint-venture opportunities.
- Full-time assistance with anything.
*I might accept some limited commitments working with certain charitable and non-profit organizations in areas that are meaningful to me, such as cancer, mental health, women's issues, LGBTQ+ issues, and education.
What Inspires Me Lately
- I'm learning more about my ADHD — recently diagnosed at 52 — and how it affects me, how I've managed to cope, and how I can improve.
- I'm a history buff, and I'm deeply fascinated by linguistics and linguistic anthropology; I love learning how language can/has shaped civilizations, cultures, mores, customs, and social constructs.
- I'm addicted to maple syrup and caramel.
- I'm a coffee lover, and recently I've discovered cold brew; speaking of my sweet tooth, I'm in love with Starbuck's Salted Caramel Cold Brew coffee.
- I'm a semi-professional drummer and musician, but these days I play mostly from home as my two bands (country and hard rock) are currently on hiatus due to COVID social distancing rules.
