The Next Book

Business lessons that can help you make more money doing something you love. Learned from 15,000 performances I did working at a magic shop at Universal Studios. Told in the form of parables with the takeaways spelled out in the end.
From Stagecraft to Strategy

The stage was never separate from the strategy.

Mentalism forced me to understand attention, language, emotion, timing, belief, resistance, and decision-making under pressure.

A live audience gives immediate feedback. Confusion has a sound. Trust has a rhythm. Attention has a shape.

After thousands of performances for companies, colleges, theaters, and private audiences, those same principles became the foundation for my work in business strategy, sales conversations, executive communication, workshops, and brand growth.

the GNOMON

Ancient Greek for "one who knows."

The Gnomon is my email series about life, business, and success from the perspective of someone who has walked his own path, made his own way, and lived beyond the realm of possibility for 30+ years. If you are a founder, entrepreneur, consultant, or content creator, then these are the most powerful ideas you've ever seen.

how I can help

Better persuasion & communication, at every level of your business.

"Branding. Marketing. Sales. Access. Media. Leverage. One person can help with all of that?" Fair to be skeptical. Here's the answer: every element of business runs on the same engine, how people actually make up their mind about something. The fancy term for that is applied psychology, and it moves at every level of a business. Here's our path, from foundations to compounding leverage.

Positioning & branding

Build your structure. Get clear on who you are, who you're for, and why you're the obvious choice. Your center line, so your value is obvious before you say a word.

Marketing & promotion

Bridge to the market. Connect your message to what your buyers already pay attention to. That's the direct line from what you do to the people who need it.

Access & referability

Open the rooms that matter. When you can't go straight at the buyer, you create enough interest that they come to you. Get talked about when you're not in the room, in a good way.

Sales & reading the room

Win the live exchange. The conversation is where it's decided. Read the person in front of you, handle the moment, and move the deal forward without pressure.

Media, stagecraft & tools

Extend your reach. Master the tools that multiply your presence beyond the room: speaking, video, publishing, and AI systems that do the work of a team.

Leverage & advisory

Build the leverage. Small input, large effect. Architect the systems and high-leverage moves that keep working when you're not in the room.
