  • “Anthony’s approach to instructional design is not only research-based but also creative and inspiring. He is an expert at applying thoughtful methodologies to help people learn in new ways and absorb concepts. Anthony is also skilled at producing live events, webinars, podcasts and a variety of other types of narrative media that help to both teach and engage people. He singlehandedly initiated the production of a Pathstream podcast that gained a large audience quickly. He would be an asset to any team and company who is looking to bring new content and experiences to life—and is great to work with in general!”

    SVP of Product at Pathstream

  • “There’s something really interesting going on in Anthony’s story <em>Now That’s What I Call Love</em>. I really love what he is throwing down here.”

    Founding Editor of PANK and New York Times best-selling author  

  • “I just finished the Salesforce Sales Operations Professional Certificate, and I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the experience. It was super engaging and way more hands-on than other online courses I’ve taken. Easily the most impressive content I’ve seen on Coursera, thank you Anthony!!”

    Graduate of the Salesforce Sales Operations Professional Certificate

  • “<em>The Legend of Heather Natural Conway</em> grabbed me from the first read—fraught family relationships, charismatic religion, and jiu-jitsu, all through the experience of a female fighter—it all works so well. I also appreciate the non-chronological telling of the story. Moving through time like that adds to the sense that we're hearing a legend instead of reading a short story.”

    Fiction Editor at the Under Review

  • “I had the pleasure of reading <em>Abbad Alyousef’s Prison Story</em>, and I love how the piece delved into the difficulty of achieving one’s dreams by narrating the experience of three different generations.”

    Assistant Prose Editor at Rusted Radishes: Beirut Literary and Art Journal

  • “The stories on <em>Jones + Woolf</em> are great—and the music and production are fantastic. <em>Kim Kardashian</em> in particular is a really dark and funny concept.”

    Former Managing Editor at F(r)iction

  • “A lot of onboarding can feel cold and impersonal, but Anthony’s courses were warm and friendly. Whereas new-joiners often feel a step-behind, overwhelmed, Anthony’s content focused on their growth and reminded them of their progress. Anthony understood that he wasn't just introducing new, and perhaps nervous, employees to the product but to the company itself. His profoundly sympathetic approach reassured them they belonged.”
