"The real problem of humanity is that we have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology." E.O. Wilson

We're alive during the most exciting—and unpredictable—time in history. As technology reshapes every aspect of human existence, one question drives me: how can we harness its power to elevate humanity rather than diminish it?

Books have always been humanity's greatest catalysts for change. Yet for centuries, both their creation and consumption remained frozen in time. While consulting with over 2,000 industry experts on their books, I became obsessed with a simple question: why were we using antiquated methods to share modern ideas?

This led me to co-found Author.Inc, where we've revolutionized the book creation process. We empower thought leaders to write and publish exceptional books in their authentic voice—without the traditional barriers that have historically held great ideas back.

Modern publishing is here but I'm also driven by what books can become—whether through enhanced audio experiences, multi-sensory virtual environments, or forms of storytelling we haven't yet imagined.
