Hey y'all. I both love books and read constantly, and I'm the author of two published books and have several more in the works. Happy to chat about writing, process, reading, whatever.

Introducing the Artist Corporation

Creative people struggle to make a living from their work. I’m dedicating my career to changing that.

A-Corps are designed with a simple principle: give creative people the same economic tools available to other industries, while respecting the unique nature of creative work.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. No, seriously…

sending question: 

as an artist, this is super interesting 👇

any chance that it could help someone like me quit my day job and focus on art full-time within this lifetime?

nice to hear such encouragement 

I spent much of the past year trying to discover a way to quit my day job and turn my art and web3 presence into a sustainable living but like most people in this space discovered that it's just not a reality for me

i think you'll see your revenue diversify in your lifetime. i think you'll see royalties and passive income on a lot that you make. i think you'll be able to own meaningful entities that you're creatively involved in, and it can help add more money to your bank account.  whether that will feel secure enough to go all-in i can't say, but i think the path will be there
