Welcome to My Octopus Life!
I’m an Octopus person making a living doing up to 8 different jobs in a creative portfolio career. I’ll share stuff I learn along the way, to show that sustainable monetization of creativity is possible without destroying your soul. I also talk about the meaning of life, solopreneurship, motivation, self-help, the future of work, and portfolio careers. If you want to live/work in a similar way, hopefully it will be informational and inspirational.
Why an Octopus?
An octopus is curious, creative, resourceful, and can do 8 things at a time. It’s a symbolic metaphor for my life. As a generalist/polymath/multi-interest person I like doing a wide variety of things simultaneously.
About Me
I've worked in Silicon Valley startups, creative agencies, and Fortune 100 corporations over a 20+ year marketing career. I've been through an IPO and 3 acquisitions. I am now a solopreneur and digital nomad.
Why Subscribe?
I aim to inspire people to live and work in better alignment with who we really are, especially if you’re an Octopus person. I like providing fresh takes and sometimes controversial/contrarian views on things that we take for granted. Maybe it will challenge you to think differently about your own life and career.
