Your best ideas and stories deserve to exist in the world. I help thoughtful people turn their thinking into bodies of work that last. I also write stories to help us create a better future.
You’re here if you believe in publishing lasting things > trending things.
You have ideas specific and potent enough to make change.
Welcome.
Hi, I'm Regina Anaejionu (en-ay-john-oh 🇳🇬) 👋🏽,
And I believe intellectual property is the most slept on (underrated) type of property there is. It's the only asset you can use repeatedly that becomes more valuable every time you use it. Write the book, teach the workshop, speak on the stage, record the podcast episode . . . each use makes your ideas stronger and more sought after, not tired or less valuable.
I've been testing this theory since 2008, when I started publishing my ideas online after answering the same “Can I pick your brain?” questions over and over again in coffee meetings. Those conversations matured into continuing education courses at The University of Texas at Austin, then into print books, including The Small Business Manual (2013), which became a required textbook at multiple U.S. colleges, and Epic Blog (2014), which earned over $100,000 in profit from book sales alone. Along the way, I've taught more than 20,000 learners in my online schools, grown an email list to 50,000 subscribers, and supported myself with my business income for over a dozen years.
These days I work as an IP strategist for change makers and as a storyteller. Most of my time is spent helping thoughtful people turn their thinking into bodies of work that last. But, some of my time is spent writing speculative fiction that explores identity, societal inequity, and the futures we might build toward.
If publishing meaningful things matters deeply to you, you're in the right place. My mission is to help you become the gold standard of thought leadership in your industry, and get you paid for your ideas, not your constant labor on social media.
Start with these pieces:
These 8 days of emails, lessons, and prompts (spread out over two weeks) take you through five publishing disciplines that will help you create more thought leadership IP that stands the test of time and less time-sucking social media content.
This piece will help you process the feelings you’ve been having about social media. It will also direct the desire you have to craft more meaningful resources (books, essays, workshops, etc.) to raise your online profile.
You’re not new to your industry.
And as your expertise grows and you generate more sophisticated ideas & solutions in your industry/niche, your need for publishing content with a radical ROI—return on investment—increases dramatically.
Learn the process to independently publish a thought leadership book that grows your platform.

Or, take a deeper dive:
An on-demand training and strategic, live, intimate virtual “retreat” to help you plan and grow your thought leadership platform. With other motivated leaders from various industries, you will work on prioritizing evergreen, long-form content that appreciates (grows in value over time) instead of just social media content that depreciates moments after you publish it.
