I’m sitting here preparing for my keynote for CreativeMornings Tulsa and realizing… I’ve had a presentation for a while.
But a few nights before the big day, I paused and asked myself:
What are people actually curious about?
I’m a multi-hyphenate creative, and the theme for the one year anniversary is CREATE. Creation has looked wildly different across my life and work.
Some of you may want to hear about:
- how I build immersive murder mystery dinner parties
- producing a 25+ person table read in a week
- writing a TV pilot rooted in alternate history
- building creative communities like Saturday Scribe
- stewarding spaces like NDA Haus
- storytelling, strategy, and “narrative infrastructure”
- balancing creativity, faith, and sustainability
- turning ideas into actual systems people can participate in
Far too often creative talks stay surface level. I’d rather dig into the things people are actually wrestling with.
So tell me:
👉🏾 What would you want me to unpack?
👉🏾 What questions do you have about the creative process, community building, storytelling, or bringing ideas to life? I’ll try to be thoughtful to address your questions live.
And if you’re free Friday morning, come through. Would love to create with y’all in the room.
