Optimize Yourself

Optimize Yourself

by

Hi I’m Zack, and the purpose of my work is to help you find meaning and purpose in yours (without burning out…or selling your creative soul).

If you’ve built your entire career around your creativity like I have, you may be asking the same question I am: Is there a future for us “creatives,” Or is it game over? I can’t promise that I know what the future brings, but I do promise few are more dedicated to helping you find the answers than I am.

You’re in the right place if:

– You live to create. Your work isn’t just a job but an expression of who you are.
– You create to live. Your livelihood depends on your creativity.
– You love making cool shit.

Whether you identify as introverted or neurodivergent (or both, like me)…

No matter if you’re a misfit, a rebel, an outlier, or a troublemaker…

If you’ve been called weird, nerdy, dorky, quirky, or awkward…

Or if you’re an over-thinker, procrastinator, or perfectionist…

You are welcome here. 😊

Come join me as I have honest, authentic, and candid conversations with NYT bestselling authors, Oscar and Emmy winners, experts across many different industries, and ordinary humans achieving extraordinary things.
