Library
For changemakers, thought leaders, and community-centered organizers.
This Library is where I explore the question:
What happens when we prioritize healing our attention and minds, thinking critically and expansively, structuring our ideas powerfully, and publishing bodies of work so potent that they help to make our world better, safer, and more supportive of other overlooked/underestimated people like us?
Reclaim Your Attention (for yourself, your community, and your work)
How do we manage our attention in a world that wants us to spend it on junk? How do we identify the ideas and sparks inside of us that are worth pursuing?
A short essay that makes the argument that other people—a.k.a. our friends, families, communities, and the clients we want to help—pay the biggest price in the form of lost impact and transformation when we publish our best ideas on social media instead of as long-form and long-term assets. Check out the essay here.
Other People Pay the Highest Costs When You Prioritize Publishing on Social Media Over Building Long-Term Assets
Is Social Media Just Another Form of Sharecropping?
You’ve been feeling a type of way about social media for a while. Why are we not only the people laboring to bring all the value to the platform, but also the product on social media (meaning: our attention is being sold to the highest bidder)? Are there better ways to spread meaningful work than churning out five new things a day for algorithms that are never satisfied?

May You Have Your Attention Please
You, your ideas, your wellbeing . . . all deserve more of your attention. But, much like money, we often unintentionally end up spending tons of attention each month on things that aren’t super meaningful to us, in retrospect. This guide is all about identifying decision taxes (and rebates!), budgeting your attention to your most important projects, and more.
This guide will be returning soon.

Build Your Changemaker Platform
How can we create the types of systems and architecture (around and under our work) that help turn a mind full of ideas into a body of work that lasts? How do we write, design, teach, record, and put out work that matters in a way that reaches the people we need it to? How do publish lasting assets over ones that depreciate?
