I make things happen.My favorite thing is helping make "wouldn't-it-be-cool-if" into reality. I am passionate about publishing content of genuine value to both consumers and sponsors. I am an innovator with decades of experience shepherding creative projects from concept through production, marketing, and distribution. Print publishing was my first love, but I enjoy being an early adopter online. My company produced the first RSS affiliate feeds and the first membership walls to accept Bitcoin.I've been interviewed by The Washington Post, New York Times Magazine, FOX, The Huffington Post, and approximately a gajillion alternative press venues. I've been a repeat guest speaker at conventions ranging from SXSW to DragonCon and I love discussing the intersections of pop culture and commerce and how to do well, while doing good, in a changing world. My early studies of sociological science fiction and the evolution of literature made me uniquely prepared to identify the fascinating interrelated ways art and money and politics impact one another to alter the financial landscape for different demographics.Every aspect of my career has been about empowering bohemia. Being an artist should never mean not enjoying the benefits of the larger society. Starting in February 2021, I am now again available to do short-term consulting. And, yes, I would like to appear on your popular podcast. Thanks for asking.
