EXPERIENCE BUILT BY DOING
Ideas become more powerful when people have a place to explore them together.
I began podcasting in 2005, when the medium itself was still an experiment. Since then, I have produced podcasts and virtual events, built conferences and communities, developed multi-stakeholder strategies, and helped creators and organizations turn their knowledge into meaningful media.
I am the founder of National Podcast Post Month, creator of the Texas Podcast Conference, and founder of Brewing Media
Learn. Share. Grow.
CONVERSATIONS I BRING TO THE ROOM

I join conference audiences, podcast hosts, creators, business owners, and professional communities for thoughtful conversation about media, ownership, experimentation, and connection.
