Overview
I am my own best case study, beginning my career as a corporate attorney and using a combination of blogging, social media, public speaking and media appearances to become a nationally-recognized expert on the business of sports. I left the corporate world to work for such outlets as Forbes and ESPN, and today I work with busy entrepreneurs and nonfiction authors who want to become experts themselves and step into the spotlight so they can grow their businesses.
My clients have appeared in such outlets as Forbes, Inc., Fast Company, BuzzFeed, SHAPE, Working Mother, Thrive Global, Huffington Post and more. We also regularly book clients on their local ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC affiliates, national and local radio, as well as leading podcasts. Many of our clients are also experienced public speakers who we book for corporate speaking and both national and local events.
