My popular web series syndicated across multiple channels.
The beach-front Malibu home that Hollywood and a lot—I mean a lot—of hard work built.
From a little studio apartment in Hollywood funding a business on credit card debt to a beach-front home on Birdview Avenue on Point Dume. The outcome of my vision, hard work and tireless efforts was a robust entertainment company, a remarkable career, and a glamorous lifestyle that I crafted from the ground up.
Speaking about personal branding at UCLA Graduate Business School in Los Angeles, California.
I AUTHORED A BOOK…
“A top business book every entrepreneur and startup founder should read.”
In How To Succeed On Purpose, I offer light-filled principles and experiential wisdom gleaned over a high-flying career working with creative artists in the unpredictable roller-coaster of Show Business.
I’ve distilled these life lessons and professional principles into cogent concepts and potent passages that are easy to read and simple to apply.
These principles guided my career success, countered conflict, mitigated challenges, catalyzed creativity, magnetized abundance, inspired others, and kept me centered and grounded through it all.
“The book does magic and transforms your life.”
The chapters are light and witty, the wisdom snack-able. It’s a book to consult when you need a boost of encouragement or direction. Readers say it delivers insights with the power to change your life.
But don’t take their word for it. Find out for yourself. Inspiration is just a click away.

INSPIRING CONTENT
I’ve known content. Treasure troves of content. And a plethora of types of content. How to make it. How to develop it. How to package it. How to pitch it. How to market it. How to sell it. How to make deals on it: Movies. TV. Documentaries. Books. Graphic novels. Web series.
I’ve sought out and nurtured creative and enterprising talent, then built and guided their lucrative careers: Filmmakers. Writers. Authors. Creatives. Entrepreneurs. Founders. Leaders. Teachers.
I’ve taught them how to do it, how to use their power of intuition to align them with the truth of their own greatest potential.
From bartender to A-lister. From Poet to Pulitzer Prize-winner. From aspirant to achiever.
Whether you are an artist or entrepreneur, creator or homemaker, CEO or staring at an empty bank balance, a blank C.V., or a blank slate, my work, my content, my writing, my message — is for you! Because I see you, believe in you, and encourage you to harness the innate power and unique wisdom within you to guide you to the success you were born to become.
My passion is to provide tools and inspiration to get there!

WEB SERIES
Why success is a counter-intuitive DECREASE and not an INCREASE.
And it’s led me to sharing Moments of Truth — worldwide — for how we are more alike than different. For how we are better together than apart. And why, in this transformative time of change and confusion, injustice and inequality, we can still find solace in connection — to self, to Spirit, to community.
