Tell me what brings you here.

Some people arrive with a problem to solve. Others would rather read first and see whether the thinking holds up. Both are good ways in.

Two ways inNo pitch deckNo discovery funnel

Choose a path

A conversation, or the letter.

The enquiry form is for work. The letter is for the ideas. You can do either, or both.

For a project

Tell me what you are trying to change.

A short note is enough. Describe the situation, what you have tried, and what a good outcome would look like. I answer every enquiry myself.

For the ideas

Read the letter first.

One considered essay every other Sunday on the psychology of choice, the ethics of influence, and the craft of being understood. Written slowly, on purpose.

Not sure what you need?

That is a perfectly good place to start. Describe the problem, not the service. We can work out the shape together.

A few sentences is plenty. Links to your site or current marketing are welcome.

I use your details only to reply. See the privacy policy.

The letter

Start with the reading.

Not a round-up. Not a list of hacks. One idea, taken seriously, with the evidence and the caveats left in.

  • One essay — roughly 800 words, written to be read once and remembered.
  • One practical distinction — something you can use in the next meeting.
  • Honest footnotes — where the research is thin, the letter says so.

No tracking pixels. No sponsorship. No “one last thing” pitch. Your address is never sold or shared, and one click unsubscribes you.

Double opt-in: you will be asked to confirm your address before anything is sent.

Prefer to look first?

Three recent issues are free to read in the essay library. Start with Attention is a loan.

Before you write

A few useful answers.

How quickly can you start?

Usually within two to four weeks. If something is urgent, say so and I will tell you honestly whether I can help.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, if you need one. Send yours with the enquiry, or ask me for a mutual NDA.

Do you work remotely?

Mostly. I am based in Toronto and work with clients across time zones. Workshops can be in person by arrangement.

What if we are not a fit?

I will tell you, and where I can, point you toward someone better suited. A bad fit wastes both our time.

What happens when I join the letter?

You get one confirmation email, then a short welcome note, then one essay every other Sunday. You can unsubscribe from any issue in one click.
