I’m working on one of these things right now:
Music
My latest single: Silicon in My Soul (7/21/22)
This is the 4th of a set of singles that I’m releasing monthly – available in all streaming services. If you’re local, come to my monthly residency – next show is on 8/12. I’m also experimenting with NFTs, releasing a set of “process shots.” As crypto crashes, pick your fave here on OpenSea and buy the dip.
Media
Trying to bring some necessary focus to Consider the Source, my ongoing project that audits the way we consume, share, and produce media. This project includes live performances, selected workshops, with early access and exclusive episodes.
Podcast
Marketing Without the Marketing is about respectful and ethical ways to build an online audience. Hit a milestone with my 200th (!) episode: The Digital Representation of You. I’m still working on some new episodes, but I’m really focusing a lot more energy on songwriting and recording.
Students
I teach a course at Emerson College called Fundamentals of Content Strategy. It is a project-based grad-level course that I designed, based on the stuff that I do in practice with my own clients. My Spring 2022 course just ended; what a great group it was this term.
Activism
I serve as a board member and volunteer at a small organization called Boston For All. We are an activist group that runs a series of community events – 100% of all money raised goes straight to the nonprofit organizations we support. We recently raised over $6,500 for La Colaborativa at our Art For All event on May 15, 2022. NEXT EVENT: 8/13 at Vee Vee in Jamaica Plain.
Clients
I’m a practitioner. I run my own business called Control Mouse Media, LLC, helping clients build their audience using content. I do a mix of writing, production, strategy, and training. Though a lot of my work happens behind the scenes, here are some projects of note:
- I designed and trained the production of the podcast Everyday Sublime (1M+ downloads)
- I helped write and edit this cookbook, Vegan Chocolate Treats (affiliate link)
- Due in part to my SEO efforts, this single post has been viewed over 250,000 times
Derek Sivers came up with this concept (a “now” page), and my page is included in his collection.
