Journalist, filmmaker, VP of Technology, VP of HR, Consultant, Educator. In every one of those roles, the work came back to the same thing: painting a picture of a better future, and helping people get there.
CCultivated is where that work lives now: the books, the films, the letters and the workshops, and a commercial practice for businesses where creativity is the competitive advantage.

Studio
The members’ club. Every month, the Department of Interesting Things, plus essays just for members, seminars and a direct line to me.
Five percent of profit from the books, workshops and membership is given each year to Naomi House — the hospice caring for life-limited children and their families. Because every system should create value beyond profit.
