Welcome to POST MODERN ACADEMY from StoryDIVER


A coaching space for Authors & Artists that stands for Daring, Innovation, and Tradition on the hunt for blockbuster ideas and viral disruptive content.



What makes creative coaching at StoryDIVER different comes down to what for generations has always made artists and creative minds a force for change by reinventing the status quo and transforming culture from within. How this change takes place is an ongoing and never-ending process. But at the heart of this transformation, we believe that the power of story has always been present.

That is perhaps – until now – at a time when Post Modernism has upended all parameters of structure and so many fear the story of Western society has reached a point of critical crisis. Indeed, that with the rise of Artificial Intelligence, the increasing collusion between oligarchical structures and our judicial branch, and the onset of global warming, we are on the brink of the End of our very civilization and way of life.


A brief overview of the state of confusion and dystopia in the Post-Modern art world may perhaps serve as a pictorial representation of the visual breakdown of this story.

Studies have proven, however, that even subtle tweaks to the way we see our personal story can shift our attitude, improve our self-confidence, and redirect our futures. We may not be able to change the past, but we can change how we see it, the story we tell, and therefore how it affects us and who we become.


In essence, your personal story and how you came to be an artist is a measure of the values you stand for and the lens of how you want your creative brand to be perceived.


This is what I do when privately helping artists & authors with book trailers and their video branding.

...But why is it there are some who feel a far deeper sense of empathy - almost a vicarious sense of shared pain with their fellow human beings?

And yet why is it always the creative artists in our society whose lives and personal antennae are always so viscerally in tune with the state of anxiety in the world? Who are affected by global developments and the breakdown in the very touch points of our society's collective mental health on a more personal level?


Why are those possessed of a creative temperament often-times the most sensitive to the insanity of our current institutions' anti-human policies or how they are unsustainable with world peace or individual freedom in the universe?


With a planet whose virtual disintegration and state of total upheaval can easily be seen parallelled in crisis after crisis of a human population plagued by a constant checklist of maladies, such as:


  • International War
  • Viral Disease, Famine
  • Global Warming &
  • Environmental Catastrophe
  • A general sense of Disconnect
  • A lack of genuine meaning and
  • Sense of Anxiety and Depression
  • A pervasive Apathy and loss of faith
  • An unwillingness to trust and
  • Lack of a sense of belief and belonging




It would seem that art would have no solution to offer the entrenched problems of such magnititude or widespread calamity. And yet if you feel yourself to be one in touch with ongoing crisis of our time, there is good news ...


For any artists or individuals who may find themselves in a personal moment of despair - or loss of connection to the meaning of the past and the future towards where we are going – this is where our coaching group at StoryDIVER is here to help your art forge new paths of meaning.


And because this coaching space was created exclusively for authors and artists as change-makers, we believe the new paths of meaning we bring can be strong enough to change the course of our personal story and perhaps even the history of our society itself.


Consider That With The Right Help, You Can Transform Your Project's Creativet theme, Your Book's dramatic hook or your Company's personal Brand-Story into a Dazzling Display of Art, Ideas, and Creative Thought Leadership that Transmits the Authentic Value of Your Message.



But, whether you are an author or educator in the arts, a YouTube content creator, a Coach, a Course Creator or even the founder of an Innovative Tech start-up ; A painter, Phd. Scholar or feature filmmaker, this community at StoryDIVER takes inspiration from the art history of the past as well as this unique moment in time to serve as a sign post and spiritual guide.


We look to our artist forebears and the emotional power of their artwork as a bridge connecting the meaning of our human story to an ever evolving future. As our primal inspiration to help leading subject-matter experts turbo-boost their creative brand. Each of our members divining their own special relationship to our common human past with an emphasis on aligning and rewriting their individual personal story. Aligning themselves and tapping into this greatness to transcend and contribute their own special purpose while bringing positive historical change and impact to society.

But THERE IS OF COURSE A CATCH TO ALL THIS, SINCE No One EVER said CREATIVITY is something EASY.

TO MAKE THINGS CRYSTAL CLEAR…

(Because We Value Your Time and Effort)

You've Found the Right Solution If:

  • You are a painter, writer, a filmmaker, actor, sculptor, or just a humble poet or educator that has ever felt a soul shattering awakening.
  • You are one who feels something about art that is more than just a learned craftmanship or talent, but is akin to an innate calling.
  • You are someone who is always inspired and ambitious to learn more and challenging untested truths can feel painful at first until it begins to feel like it is a unique kind of fun.
  • You are deeply interested in exploring art history in all its modes from theory to criticism as a way of being and a looking glass to more cogently bring out your vision and dreams for creating a better world and society,
  • You are an author, visual artist, or creative entrepreneur looking to elevate your brand with a compelling narrative.
  • You're seeking to transform the essence of your creative work into a visually stunning narrative that captures and engages your audience.
  • You want a tailored approach to your marketing efforts, one that truly resonates with the depth of your artistry.
  • You're ready to invest in a strategic, creative solution that amplifies your work across digital platforms, ensuring it doesn't just blend into the background.

This Might Not Be For You If:

  • You never had an interest in art, history, philosophy, economic improvement or aren’t ready to comibine the power of focus + imagination to learn new perspectives.
  • You see art as an escape or you aren’t willing to take responsibility for how you can apply new teachings to the previous story of your life and begin to see amazing results.
  • You don’t want to question old ideas and just prefer to do your art alone, isolated and without any feedback or like to simply sit and meditate without taking any consistent action to fulfilling your dreams.
  • You say you want things in your life to be different but you never actually start a new project, create a new chapter or want to apply a new vision to solve your problems and are unopen to taking steps to change.
  • You're looking for quick, cheap solutions that don't prioritize the uniqueness of your creative work.
  • You prefer to stick strictly to traditional marketing methods and are not open to exploring the dynamic storytelling potential of video and digital funnels.
  • You're not ready to commit to a collaborative process that requires your feedback and creative input.
  • You believe that your current marketing efforts are sufficient and you're not interested in exploring new, innovative ways to connect with your audience.

Now if you've made it this far and...


..Are not only feeling undaunted but are genuinely excited about the prospect of becoming a participating member a new revolutiory society for the advancement of art and thought, then we welcome you to mark your calendar with all the ambitions you want to accomplish.


We challenge you to set a date with us and this present day in art history that is here for the making. As you enter into this zone of creativity and imagination, you will not find a group more in tune with the profound times in which we are living anywhere else.

DO YOU RELATE TO ANY OF THESE?

We're Bridging The Gap Between The Core Message at the Center of Your Work and the Truth that Resonates with the Heart of Your Audience.

You're struggling to genuinely capture and depict the essence and depth of your creative work to your audience.

Despite your efforts, the connection with your Community feels superficial, and deep engagement is lacking.

Your unique voice and message seem to get lost in the noise of a crowded digital space, making it harder to stand out.

The time and energy spent on marketing and outreach efforts for your creative projects don't seem to yield the returns you expect.

You find the array of digital tools and platforms overwhelming and aren't quite sure where to focus your energy for maximum impact.
