I’m the first to admit that I am not perfect. I am good at some things, but horrible at others. I recognize my strengths and my weaknesses.

Here’s what I am not: A marketer. A salesman. A guru. A ninja, samurai, gladiator or any other weapon wielding ancient warrior. A social media anything. An expert, an optimizer, or an evangelist.

I am a creator. I make things, whether with my hands, my eyes, or my mind. It’s a unique position in which I reside, being able to make something from nothing, to craft a story from seeming tedium, to whittle away shavings of wood to reveal a piece of artwork.

So many of us are in the same position, but we cover it up with titles that mean nothing but sound important or clever.

But…

You know what I love most about video and podcasting? Talking with people, recording what they have to say, and crafting it into a compelling story. It’s like magic to me.

My title is not important. The story I tell is.
