After a childhood in academia, J. Daniel Sawyer declared his independence by dropping out of high school and setting off on a series of adventures in the bowels of the film industry, the venture capital culture of silicon valley, surfing safaris, bohemians, burners, historians, theologians, adventurers, climbers, drug dealers, gangbangers, and inventors before his past finally caught up to him. Trapped in a world bookended by one wall falling in Berlin and other walls going up around suburbia and along national borders throughout the world, he rediscovered his deep love of history and, with it, and obsession with predicting the future as it grew aggressively out of the past. To date, this obsession has yielded over thirty books and innumerable short stories, the occasional short film, nearly a dozen podcasts stretching over a decade and a half, and a career creating novels and audiobooks exploring the world through the lens of his own peculiar madness, in the depths of his own private forest in a rural exile, where he uses the quiet to write, walk on the beach, and manage a production company that brings innovative stories to the ears of audiences across the world.

Thanks, this helped me decide to incorporate!! With my TBI, I have to have help working around my issues and those people deserve to be paid for their part! My wife and my mother spend a LOT of time helping with my editing and fixing parts that don’t make sense. They also have learned to decipher when I use the wrong words, keeping my story readable. 🙂 Very helpful podcast as usual!!! Can’t wait for my tax return so I can donate a bit to keep this podcast alive!
