Oi! Hola!
Kuzuzangpo-la!

I spent a decade collecting stories from strangers. Now I help leaders tell theirs.

I like to say that I did my post-graduate studies in the best school that exists: the world.

I macheted through Colombian jungles, ski bummed in Patagonia, bartended in Brazil, and then moved to a little Himalayan Kingdom I never knew existed. I polished my Spanish, learned Portuguese, and memorized a splattering of phrases in many other tongues — not from textbooks, but in (often charade-style) conversations around many tables in faraway plazas, asking for directions on unfamiliar streets, in the homes of many strangers who became dear friends. I watched my Western mindset of doing and producing and accumulating get completely deconstructed by a different pace of life. I smiled a lot. And people always smiled back.

These years taught me that the world is good and worth protecting. And that stories are one way we can make others believe that too.

So I came home and built a business around it.

Finding Inspiration at Home

Instead of collecting stories from interesting people in hostels and markets, I now collect them in boardrooms and coffee shops. I help founders articulate their vision. I teach scientists how to translate their research for the world. I coach big thinkers preparing for keynotes. And every month at Creative Mornings Charleston, I introduce speakers and themes that remind me why stories matter.

Stories connect us, challenge us, and help us make sense of the chaos.

As a speaker coach for TEDxCharleston, I've learned something crucial: having a vision isn't enough. You have to become the person who can hold that vision, as if it's already real. A lot of the work is about conquering the limitations inside yourself – the fear, the imposter syndrome, the voice that says you're not ready – so you can build the capacity to meet the moment you're being called to.

The world is evolving, but the heart of my work is the same: I help people tell their truth in a way that ignites, not just informs.

My Philosophy

Soulmate Clients

I work with people who are meeting the urgency of our time.

People unafraid to have an opinion and stand behind it. People willing to challenge how things have always been done and dream a new way forward.

My clients are not afraid to make a statement. In a world full of clickbait content, they want literary-quality storytelling. They have something meaningful to say, and they want to say it well.
