Hi, I’m Jamie! I'm a writer based in Brooklyn, NY.

My breakthrough title, The Underdog Paradox, is a #1 Amazon Bestseller, in 10,000+ bookstores, and 160+ countries.

Each week, I publish unconventional advice for aspiring creatives and distribute my work on Substack, Medium, Twitter, Instagram, and Bitclout.

I’m a Senior Program Manager at Amazon where I lead creative effectiveness for Amazon Advertising.

Previously, I ran a startup incubator at WeWork, where I supported 20+ social ventures including Flikshop, Response, and Junub Games.

I support entrepreneurs through organizations like BUILD, DEFY Ventures, SEED SPOT, 1863 Ventures, Pursuit, and Upwardly Global.

I invest small amounts of capital into inspiring projects.

I enjoy working on creative projects with artists, illustrators, and indie hackers.

I talk about it on my podcast.
