Hi, folks. I’m Grant.
I’m a producer, storyteller, experience manager, and artist who relies on my training in journalism to process the world and foster greater integration within communities.
I also make podcasts, like Maejor Frequency, an intimate exploration of mental health, music theory, and contemplative practice.
This 10-chapter spirit quest through the world of sound healing became Audible’s most-listened series within a month of its release. It went on to be called Podcast of the Year, one of Variety magazine’s Best New Podcasts of 2022, and other nice things.
In 2023, I produced a second season of this groundbreaking show, called Psychedelic Frequency, in cooperation with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, or MAPS.
I’ve worked in journalism for more than 15 years, mostly on films and television and collaborated with organizations you know:
No matter the medium, I wayfind with the written word, working extensively with journalists, lawyers, scientists, artists and others on scripting and voicing for the ear – both as a coach and a co-writer.
Many of those stories have earned recognition: wide audiences, Emmy nods and other journalism awards as well as film festival curation and funding and six Vimeo Staff Picks.
How we live now dictates what we’ll live next.
And I’m often exploring the fault lines where present imperfect meets future possible; the way we adapt at these rough places; and what that reveals of our collective rush forward through time.
I’m drawn to where tension mounts – here in the United States and around the world – and where new ideas spring forth: above the Arctic Circle where mammoths may roam; in search of sovereign internets in Siberia; inside crypto mines on three continents (when Bitcoin still cost $400); and beyond, into the Fifth Dimension.
When the world changes for the better, it will change first in our minds, in the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves.
Or in dropping our narratives altogether. I’m interested in more sustainable methods of modern myth making, in moving from magical thinking to magical realism and beyond, to surrealism.
Today, my creative path is wandering with purpose toward how we might more harmoniously self-organize to short circuit the causes and conditions of cyclical suffering.
