Information is power.
But it's increasingly difficult to source, filter, and discover information that improves your work or business.
I can help.
I can be your "Information Concierge."
I'm excited to announce a new consulting service I'm offering through which I find, curate, and summarize content and information for a select few clients (individuals or companies).
The information is customized to your unique needs and designed to save you time, surface opportunities, and give you a competitive advantage in your pursuits.
Clients get custom Information Reports I create for them on a weekly or monthly basis for a set fee.
If the idea of having me as your personal Information Concierge appeals to you, reply to this email and tell me a bit about you and your goals.
Thanks for your interest!

"There's nothing wrong with the occasional selfie and you certainly should share the story of yourself, your work, and your art — but those doesn't have to be the ONLY stories you tell on social media."
