About
Hi, I'm Shawn.
I'm a writer and small-business owner in Kansas City. I've been writing on this site since [year], and I've spent most of my career helping people do their best creative work.
This is where I think out loud: long essays, short notes, links worth your time, and the occasional photo.
What I do
I run Blanc Media, a small company with two main things: The Focus Course, our Focus Club membership and monthly live workshop, and Aspen, a peer mastermind for founders with retreats and weekly calls.
What I care about
Adventure. Saying yes to the hard, fun thing.
Community. Doing the work alongside good people.
Generosity. Giving away more than feels comfortable.
Things I've made
