Ventures
My current work spans marketing, cooperative membership, and ownership of a consultancy. Each role involves a different relationship to the business.
Marketing Director, ShoeRepairGlue.com
ShoeRepairGlue.com is a niche e-commerce business selling shoe-repair adhesives, including Shoe-Fix and Boot-Fix. My role covers marketing across Amazon and Shopify, including Amazon advertising bulk-file optimization.
Worker-member, Carth & Co
Carth & Co is a worker-owned manufacturing cooperative. I am a member and handle administration remotely.
A worker cooperative is a business owned and democratically controlled by its worker-members. Membership combines a stake in the enterprise with a voice in its governance, while leaving room for different jobs and delegated responsibilities.
Owner, Infinite Game, LLC
Infinite Game, LLC is my AI and business development consultancy and education company. It is currently quiet. I rarely take consulting roles and am not actively seeking new clients.
Open to occasional advisory conversations.
Earlier work
I founded my first marketing agency in 2008 and began developing and marketing expert content in 2009. Past work also includes early political digital campaigns, Artapreneurs Summit, and Backpack Entrepreneurs, alongside podcasting, speaking, and startup consulting during my years of full-time travel.
Around 2022, I was Chief Strategy Officer at Horizon AI, an enterprise AI education and development consultancy working in sectors including civil engineering, law, and aerospace.
The courses previously sold on this website have been sunset. Education continues through my work and writing.
