Welcome to my site. I’m glad you’re here.My name is Jonathan and my passion is helping founder-led companies to communicate clearly.Sometimes this is about explaining the company’s story.Sometimes this is about telling the founder’s story.For a founder-led company, it can be hard tell where one stops and the other begins. And that’s a good thing.Whether it’s sharing a grand vision or operationalizing a ‘build in public’ strategy, personality-driven communication is what allows companies to build trust.My unique background as both a professional editor and startup co-founder provides me with unique insights into what you need—how to cut through the noise of this chaotic, post-information world we’re living in.If you’re a growth-focused founder or marketing leader, I can help you to clarify your strategy, your positioning, your messaging. To tell the right story, the right way, to the right people. I can help you understand how to make other people understand you.But remember: At the end of the day, it’s your story to tell, just like it’s your company to grow.After all… you made it.
