SEEN & PAID WORKSHOP

Ethical Monetization for Progressive Creators, Entrepreneurs & Former Candidates

Tuesday, August 25th | 11a - 1p 

Turn what you know and the trust you've already built into offers people can actually buy...without manipulative marketing, manufactured urgency, or becoming someone you don't recognize.

By the end of Seen & Paid, you will feel like you’ve taken an enormous step toward creating offers, as well as a business that is sustainable.

It will actually begin to feel real, because you'll have clarity about who you're helping, a concrete transformation you can sell, and language for talking about it.

You’re a progressive creator, podcaster, organizer, former political candidate or mission-driven entrepreneur…

You did the hard part. You became good at something. Really good.

Maybe you spent years—or decades—building expertise in law, politics, organizing, communications, leadership, business, media, advocacy, or something else entirely.

Maybe you ran for office.

Maybe you built an audience almost accidentally because people cared about what you had to say.

Maybe people are already asking you for advice, inviting you onto podcasts, asking you to speak, or telling you: “You should do something with this.”

And you know they're probably right.

But every month feels like starting over. You're relying on income from brand deals. Speaking gigs. Maybe you've had a handful of people seek out your consulting offers, but it's wildly unpredictable (and if you're being honest, it sometimes keeps you up at night.)

There's a clear gap. Nobody ever taught you how to turn what you know into something people can actually buy. Something structured, sellable and repeatable.

The Gap

Being good at something and knowing how to monetize it are two completely different skill sets.

This is the gap I see over and over again. You have credibility & authority.  You probably have an audience that engages. You are very well-respected in the progressive space.

And when we ask, “How does this become sustainable income?”...it feels incredibly ambiguous.

Consulting...maybe? Speaking? A course? Brand partnerships? Coaching? A Substack?
And underneath all of that is often an even more uncomfortable question: Can I actually make money from this without becoming something icky? Without losing myself?

Because if your feed is anything like mine, there's a good chance you've seen the other version.

Manufactured scarcity. Fake urgency. Fear-based selling. Overpromising. Endless upsells. Marketing designed to make people feel inadequate enough to buy.

And perhaps you've quietly concluded...

If that's what selling requires, I'd rather not do it at all.

I wholeheartedly believe we are not limited to these options.


One system. 

Not more scattered information.

If you're anything like many of the people I work with, you've probably already consumed plenty of information. 

You've saved the posts. Downloaded the PDFs. Listened to the podcasts. Taken the courses. You probably have at least 14 tabs open on your computer right now.

The problem isn't necessarily that you need to learn more. You need somewhere to put what you know.

A structure that connects: Who you serve → what they need → what you can sell → how you talk about it → how you invite them to buy.

That's why this isn't just a workshop you sit through. You'll build alongside me.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...

You're a progressive creator, entrepreneur, former candidate, professional, podcaster, independent-media voice, consultant, or other mission-driven human who has built real expertise and credibility...but hasn't yet built a predictable business around it.

Maybe you already have an audience. Maybe you're beginning to build one. Maybe you've left—or are considering leaving—a traditional professional career.

Maybe the thing you're becoming doesn't have a logical job title yet. 

You simply know: I have something valuable here. I need to figure out how to make it sustainable. That's exactly what we're doing.

So now, let's talk about the two ways to join the 

Seen & Paid Workshop.

Live Workshop:  $110 (approximately two hours together)

You'll receive:

✓ 75–80 minutes of teaching
✓ Guided implementation exercises in the Seen & Paid Workbook
✓ Q&A

Live Workshop + Implementation Support: $110 + $330

Everything above, plus two weeks of private Signal access to me after the workshop.

  • Monday-Thursday
  • Ends at 5p on Tuesday, September 8

Often, understanding the framework isn't the hard part. Applying it is. Getting the ideas out on paper in a way that feels logical and usable.  

We'll refine your avatar, offer ideas, pricing, positioning, messaging, and anything you're overthinking.


You don't have to spend two weeks wondering whether you're doing it right. You can ask


What if, on the other side of learning these specific skills...

You show up and create content, and not only is that content growing your reach, but it's growing your authority. 

You have an offer that solves a genuine problem for your audience, and you know how to clearly communicate the transformation in a way that feels sincere.


This isn't wishful thinking. It's absolutely possible. And it may be much closer than you think. 

So if you're ready to dive in...
