Weekly Substack Newsletter

Put You On Game is my Substack newsletter/passion project where I break down the ways that strategy and branding appears in many aspects of life. Here’s what that phrase means.

It’s mostly about (social media) marketing, but I also love pop culture, food, photography, technology and more; I'll talk about all of those things as they pertain to online life and real life. It’s also where I work out some thoughts that I start on my social feeds, share with my clients, and talk about with my friends.

Canadian Business, February 2022

I interviewed marketer and podcaster Stephen Dorsey about his book "Black and White", writing about his theory that "white advantage" is the main barrier to racial equality in Canada and affects many aspects of everyday life, including the workplace.
