Stories for CEOS

Stories for CEOs is a simple personal branding package exclusively for leaders who want to develop strong targeted branding, messaging, and thought leadership (writing, podcasts, video stories) rooted in a rigorous brand strategy practice including the use of brand archetypes. If you want a brand that aligns with your professional goals, deeply held values and skills, take the next step here.

 

Welcome to Actual People, an unfiltered exploration of individual and societal shifts in a world undergoing tremendous change.

In this podcast, I open up about my own experiences in order to dive into social and cultural phenomena, positive developments, and collective pain.

We look at survival, endurance, strength, triumph and despair while imagining a future with creative joy and hope.

Each episode is dedicated to meaningful conversations about the evolving landscape of our lives and the power of our own creativity and imagination to make magic. 

Available wherever you get your podcasts.
