I just wrapped a LIVE feature on Good Morning Washington, and I couldn’t wait to share this moment with you. The segment focused on Valentine’s Day and how poetry adds real value to expressing love—especially when people struggle to find the right words for their significant other. We talked about how poetry isn’t just romantic, it’s intentional communication, emotional clarity, and connection. And yes—I proudly represented and shouted out the Poetry Business Institute and Network on air. This moment matters. It’s proof that: - Poetry belongs in mainstream conversations - Creative work has real-world application - What we’re building in PBN is being seen, heard, and respected You should be proud—because this wasn’t just my moment. It was a reflection of the ecosystem we’re building together. Poetry as value. Poetry as language. Poetry as business. On morning television. Let’s keep going.

We’re officially opening the casting call for "Poet Life Unscripted" — a real-life docu-series documenting poets as they transform into poetry business owners. Poet Life Unscripted follows real poets navigating real life in real time—taking action, making decisions, facing challenges, and building sustainable poetry businesses out in the open. What to expect: - Biweekly longform YouTube chapters - Daily real-time documentation across social platforms - Unscripted conversations, mentorship, and growth - A process—not a promise If you’ve been doing the work—or are ready to truly start—this may be your moment to step into the process. 👉 Apply to participate in Poet Life Unscripted: https://forms.gle/vo8gTRjbiqauqivn8 —Poetry Business Network An original series from PBN
