“Learning is made of a thousand little mistakes glued together by persistence.”
“Lucas pushed me to create time to bring focus to my vision, while connecting and learning from other amazing creators.”
“Instead of having to fight one huge, intimidating final boss of a business plan, I just have to tackle twelve approachable mini bosses one by one.”
“I learned about the starving artist myth and how pervasive it was in my mind for years and years. With the help of Lucas, I’m slowly chipping away at that lie.”

Artists, architects, bakers, makers, podcasters, perfumers, farmers, filmmakers, fashionistas, rappers, comedians, video game designers, vagabonds, anyone who wants to follow their dreams.
The commonality between all of my clients is that they feel deep cultural connections to their community.

I started a visual art center called 17 Cox in 2009, and quickly realized that the artists needed more than opportunities, they needed business principles.
In 2014, I got my MBA and became the Executive Director of the artisan business incubator Mighty Tieton.
In 2016 I began a six year road trip to all 50 states to interview thousands of creative people on how they followed their dreams.
I gave that wisdom back as the “Culture Hustlers” podcast and docuseries, and created a 450 page curriculum on cultural entrepreneurship called “Get Lost & Get Found”.
During the pandemic, I ran an online cohort of 100 creatives from 12 countries, and helped them navigate through a dark time.
After being burnt out on screentime during the pandemic, today I enjoy teaching one on one coaching or group workshops.

Reach out, tell me what you struggle with. I’ll identify that as one of the twelve parts of a business model.
I’ll send you some resources: a digital workbook on that specific struggle, and three lesson plan videos showing you how to use that workbook.
If you find those resources useful, I’ll invite you to a coaching call.

Digital workbooks and lesson plan videos are pay-what-you-can.
Coaching is $100/hr, or you can buy blocks of 6 hours for $500.
