Join my private email list and receive Wonderlust, a dispatch about creating, cultivating and leading in a world that won’t stop yelling.

I write for entrepreneurs, innovators and curious souls. Are you interested in the art and science of building authentic, purposeful brands? Growing up, were you the kind of kid who constantly asked why? Do you strive to live deliberately – or as Thoreau said, to “suck all the marrow out of life”? If so, then these emails are for you.

Here’s what you’ll get in each email: Articles and meditations on a range of topics from brand strategy and design to spirituality and questions that arise in the dark night of the soul. Occasional poems by myself and guests. And maybe a little recommended reading or the odd fragment of arcana I stumble across in my lifelong pursuit of beauty and meaning.
